This place in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane with a very obvious address has certainly got the most fortified front entrance I have ever seen. It's a office building in a back street. The Valley can seem a bit dodgy in places but what can I say that the photo doesn't. Think about a wild story....
It does make me think though, a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link. This is not that link...but elsewhere?

Of the four city gates, which previously secured access to the town of Kempen,
only the cow gate tower is preserved.
His name has an old cattle drive, to the lush pastures in the north led fracture.
The modern St. Claus statue on the Door passage reminiscent of the fact that
one of here to Nicholas Chapel at the level of "Schloot" arrived,
a border crossing to the Duchy Geldern.
Religious representations of such gates should worship on leaving the city
and the prevention of threats such as war and pestilence are used to.
From 1896 to 1898 to the present were it rebuilt.
At the different brick color, you can still see clearly where the third Floor,
with its Gothic towers was installed.

I think it is based on an Iveco Daily. But I cannot find anything about the firm that altered it to this shape for Loomis.

Synopsis of the battle to capture and occupy the village of La Haye-du-Puits,
On July 8th in the afternoon, the Americans renewed the attack on a terrain that is covered by many German mines. Engineers must clear the gates, while the infantry, supported by the tanks of the 749th Tank Battalion, are caught by enemy artillery fire. Despite a slow and difficult progression, the 79th Infantry Division reached the first settlements north-west of La Haye-du-Puits in the early evening. Many officers are killed and the units are commanded by non-commissioned officers taking excellent initiatives. All day of July 9 is necessary to seize the entire city which is largely destroyed by the bombings of the past weeks.
Hope you enjoy ...............

aka yellow-breasted babbler
holding onto a freshly caught common palmfly caterpillar.
This is a commonly encountered species in our parks and gardens, however it has a very nasty attitude of never-stay-still and always stay-concealed. Managed to catch a glimpse of this active little fella consuming its lunch through a tiny opening in the bush.
The way it's holding the caterpillar is something new to me. Never occur to me that this species uses its leg to secure its food. Usually, this behavior is characteristic to predatory birds.
Incidentally, my last capture of this guy was more than a decade ago. Time flies when you shoot something that flies.

A few months ago I built the most iconic scene from the movie “Into the Wild”, directed by Sean Penn in 2007, with the Magic Bus standing in plain sight in the wild Alaskan woods. It was early spring.
With the cold season coming it was taken for granted I'd be tempted to build the snow capped Bus as it appears in some scenes of the movie.
The sand green/white Bus stands now on a big snowy base built with many weird parts to create the snow-covered foliage effect. White pines are placed behind it.
Chris McCandless's story is well known and sadly it didn't end well.
And the Bus itself, seen as a danger, has been recently airlifted from the Alaskan wild to a secure site after two hikers have died and at least 15 have had to be rescued while trying to reach the bus in the remote Alaskan wilderness.
Abandoned on the Stampede Trail near Denali National Park, the bus had become a pilgrimage site. It was revered by travelers around the world who had read the book or seen the movie. But it had also become a hazard, luring hikers into forbidding territory.
Here my first version of the Into the Wild diorama with more info about the story of Chris.

Photos of the phantasmal poison frog (Epipedobates tricolor) is one of the subjects that really benefitted from me having gained temporary access to shoot with flash. They typically hang around in the undergrowth where it is darker so suddenly having as much light as I wanted meant I could secure some sharp shots of this one.
They jump around freely in the butterfly garden and you can hear them every now and then "calling" with a volume which seems way to loud to come from a small frog like this.
[Over the two weeks we spent in England at the beginning of May amid a whirlwind of feverish preparations for our daughter’s wedding, I managed to secure of few slots of free time to go and visit some of the very few churches still standing from what we would call in Continental Europe the Romanesque age, and which the English call “Norman”, as most of those churches were built around or after the Conquest in 1066. Anything that’s older, they call “Saxon” or “Anglo-Saxon”. Beginning today, I will take you on a tour of my lovely finds in the countryside of Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire.]
Little Snoring... The name itself is so appealing that I couldn’t resist! The church dedicated to Saint Andrew stands on a hilltop and is very notable for being one of only just two with a round tower fully detached from the church itself.
Archæologists believe that, while the tower is from the 11th century, the church we see today replaced an earlier one built on the same site. A lot of materials from the older church were also re-used to build the new one. The function of the tower was primarily to watch the environs, and its round shape was commanded by the difficulty of producing strong corners with the local pebbles and flint builders had to work with.
Most of this very simple church is from the 1100s, while the large Gothic windows are from the 1200s and 1300s, the oldest being the triple window in the eastern wall (what we in Europe would call “the apse”).
The northern wall, very plain and unadorned, retains traces of two doors, a Romanesque and a Gothic one.
