From Cooper Landing, we hiked up Slaughter Ridge last Saturday. Sitting on wet ground, I composed this image through my 90mm lens employing a front standard drop with some forward tilt. I exposed a single sheet of Velvia 50 for 1/4 second at f/22. The hike down was a bit uncomfortable as my rear was soaked. It rained all night and we woke to fresh snow above the 3800’ level Sunday morning.
Horseshoe crabs are on the shore of Delaware Bay now depositing their eggs along beaches. These two late night cavorters were making their way back into the bay at sunrise this morning at Slaughter Beach. Slipper shells are attached for the ride.
I will admit- I've had to cheat a little here, this is a town I visited not too long ago- Very cosy and scenic, almost peaceful if not for the name Slaughter!
This awesome miniatur is avaiable in the new White Dwarf magazine. And, oh my Khore, is this awesome. This miniature is huge and so detailed. Everything I could say is Blood for the Bloodgod
Cotswold cottages in abundance, plus a fairly large ford. which gets you across the River Eye, a tributary of the River Windrush.
During the summer months it is quite shallow and driveable and tempting to walk through.
However, there is also a small bridge for pedestrians, as can be seen in the photo, who don't fancy their chances........
The Scene:
A large posh office. Two clients, well-dressed city gents, sit facing a large table at which stands Mr. Tid, the account manager of the architectural firm. (original cast: Mr Tid, Graham Chapman; Mr Wiggin, John Cleese; City Gent One, Michael Palin; Client 2:, Terry Jones; Mr Wymer, Eric Idle)
“Mr. Wiggin: This is a 12-story block combining classical neo-Georgian features with the efficiency of modern techniques. The tenants arrive here and are carried along the corridor on a conveyor belt in extreme comfort, past murals depicting Mediterranean scenes, towards the rotating knives. The last twenty feet of the corridor are heavily soundproofed. The blood pours down these chutes and the mangled flesh slurps into these...
Client 1: Excuse me.
Mr. Wiggin: Yes?
Client 1: Did you say 'knives'?
Mr. Wiggin: Rotating knives, yes.
Client 2: Do I take it that you are proposing to slaughter our tenants?
Mr. Wiggin: ...Does that not fit in with your plans?
Client 1: Not really. We asked for a simple block of flats.
Mr. Wiggin: Oh. I hadn't fully divined your attitude towards the tenants. You see I mainly design slaughter houses”
From: The Architects Sketch, by John Cleese and Graham Chapman. From: Monty Python's Flying Circus, 20 October 1970. Transcribed By Dawn Whiteside. A bit of Le Cobusier history might be used here - during the design of the Philips pavillion (for the World Exhibition 1958 in Brussels) he used a slaughterhouse metaphore.
Displayed here are the parking decks of the luxury ‘Hoge Heren’ apartment towers in downtown Rotterdam, near the northern approach of the Erasmusbrug. The building is designed by Wiel Arets. Within it walls it offers a very broad range of services & facilities ;-)
At night the decks looks a bit eerie, sinister and surreal; a fine motive for the Monty Python Quoters group.

Lower Slaughter, Gloucestershire, probably one of the prettiest villages in the Cotswold's.
The name of the village stems from the Old English name for a wet land 'slough' or 'slothre' (Old English for muddy place) upon which it lies. This village sits beside the little Eye stream and is known for its unspoilt limestone cottages in the traditional Cotswold style.

Here's the first version of the custom Slaughter. I have a Retaliation Road Block with the camo pants coming. That's going to be the body I'm going to use.
Mercer and Slaughter have a running tally of Cobra troopers taken out. Mercer is pissed off, because the sarge took out all the Cobra troopers before he even entered the compound. Now the sarge's tally is over his, by eight troopers.
Location for the An American Werewolf in London (1981) - exterior of the Slaughtered Lamb pub and graveyard scenes. To be found in Crickadarn, Wales (near Builth Wells). The interior of the pub scene was filmed in the Black Swan, Surrey, England.

The picture postcard Cotswold village of Lower Slaughter, in between showers. The name apparantly derives from an old English word meaning "muddy place".
