The road from Ma'in Hot Springs to the Dead Sea - Jordan.
An exciting hard, dangerous road to drive, 15% road incline.
This video clip was recorded with a 4K Action Camera.
Warning: Poor Audio Sound.
1- The camera was fitted inside a (Water-Proof Housing) all
secured to the front bumper of a 4X4 Daihatsu.
Unfortunately, the camera was rattling inside the
Housing, hence the poor sound and a shaky video.
Full Video is about 10 minutes of recording.
2- After 6 minutes of continuous recording the image started
to be foggy. To minimize this effect (Special cloth Pads
must be inserted in the Housing around the Action Camera)
That is the first time for me to try a new method of drive
video recording.
Not much description needed for this! One of my favourite finds of recent months, to see an original Sierra XR4i, with that lovely reflective panel really took me by surprise. Securely blocked in by two Range Rovers, I couldn't get any closer, and don't like to intrude on people's privacy.
I think Sierras with this panel and number plate positioning must be very rare now, it did look very different. Looked great in white too! Sadly off the road for at least three years, hopefully this will be returned. Worth huge money now I'm sure.
Secured against theft, these oversized mooring floats added plenty of colour to a beachside park at South Melbourne.

The Siege of Boston was the opening phase of the American Revolutionary War. The siege had begun at the very start of the conflict in April 1775, with first militia and then General George Washington’s Continentals bottling up the British army under General William Howe within the old colonial city of Boston. Through the long months of winter, Washington had looked for any way to attack the British, but they stayed in their safe winter quarters, far too secure to attack without severe losses.
The arrival of the “Noble Train of Artillery” at the end of January 1776 under Henry Knox now gave another possibility: the plan developed to seize the critical position of Dorchester Heights overlooking Boston in a single night. From here, the guns brought from Fort Ticonderoga by Henry Knox could be set up to pound the British into surrender, or bring them out of Boston into an ugly uphill and disastrous battle.
After weeks of preparation, it was all done on the night of March 4-5, 1776. An artillery barrage by Knox was used to cover the sound of 3000 men of Washington’s army making their way up the Twin Hills in wagons and carts with 800 oxen, 20 cannon, sturdy barrels to be filled with stones, “chandeliers” (large bales of twisted hay for cover), and shovels and pick axes to fortify their position.
The British woke up the next morning stunned to find their secure position suddenly untenable, with two newly-created American redoubts on Dorchester Heights which were by then nearly-suicidal to assault. General Howe himself exclaimed, “My God, these fellows have done more work in one night than I could make my army do in three months.” Twelve days later the British abandoned Boston to sail to Halifax, Nova Scotia, and March 17th is still celebrated every year in Boston as Evacuation Day.
This is the second build for HistoryLUG’s America 1776 collaboration for Brickfair, Virginia in August 2016, to celebrate the 240th anniversary of this critical year in our history. More to follow! If you are coming to Brickfair, be sure to check out display our while there.
————————————————
On a personal note, this ends the longest LEGO Dark Age of my 12 years of building in the medium. A combination of life events, distractions and a serious creative block made for quite a dry spell, but the impending Brickfair has finally gotten me back at the building table at long last! Next up for me, the Battle of Trenton….oh and I would be remiss if I didn't give JBIronworks credit for the cannon and “chandeliers” designs.
