My favorite of the mechs I made. I wish it didn't have the dark bley, but that can't be helped, as I have a pretty limited piece collection. Inspired by {TCC}'s Scouting Class Mecha. If you're added I'd appericate your feedback.

This is one of my favorite rocks in South Mountains State Park to shoot. I think I get a different shot of it everytime I visit. This might be one of my favorites. This is a little more intimate of a shot. I really like the dark shadows and how it makes the water "pop".

Every 3rd day water runs in public taps, these kids were waiting for water and when they got tired of waiting they used their water gallons to take slides on the streets.
up to the mid 1970's high school students in our school were still taught to use the slide rule for mathematical computations. most kids nowadays no longer know what this is

A few Images that overlapped during shooting. I took this roll out and put it back in three times so I could shoot Gold in between. I must've miscounted by a few but I sort of like theses images.They definitely have a classic Provia look.
This 8-foot, wavy slide was raised about another foot above normal height to give more headroom for the picnic table and a faster ride (maybe too fast because the kids keep putting their feet out to stop before reaching the bottom).
The pond slider (Trachemys scripta) is a species of common, medium-sized, semiaquatic turtle. Three subspecies are described, the most recognizable of which is the red-eared slider (T. s. elegans), which is popular in the pet trade and has been introduced to other parts of the world by people releasing it to the wild. Hatchling and juvenile pond sliders have a green upper shell (carapace), yellow bottom shell (plastron), and green and yellow stripes and markings on their skin. These patterns and colors in the skin and shell fade with age until the carapace is a muted olive green to brown and the plastron is a dull yellow or darker. Some sliders become almost black with few visible markings. The carapace is oval with a bit of rounding and a central crest with knobs, but these features soften and fade with age, adults being smoother and flatter. For determining an adult slider's sex, males typically have much longer front claws than adult females, while females usually have shorter, more slender tails than males. Their lifespans range from 20 to 50 years.
Etymology
The origin of the name slider stems from the behavior of these turtles when startled. Groups of sliders, sometimes quite large, as well as many other types of less abundant freshwater turtles, are often seen basking and sunning on logs, branches, and vegetation at or even well above the water's surface, but they readily and quickly scramble if they sense danger, shooting back in and darting away to safety underwater.
Distribution
Pond sliders are native to the south-central and southeastern United States and northern Mexico.
In the 1900s, many pond sliders were captured for sale. In the 1950s, millions of turtles were being farmed and shipped abroad as part of the pet trade.
These turtles often compete with native species for food, habitat, and other resources. Eventually, they bully many native species out of basking sites, where sunlight (and warmth) is available for the species. When basking, pond sliders commonly bask on birds' nests, thereby killing the eggs. They also prey on young birds.
Turtles that were raised in captivity can develop diseases that are unfamiliar to native species, which can be harmful. Turtles raised in captivity are often released because they become too much to handle or grow bigger than expected. Not uncommonly, they also escape.
Conservationists have warned owners of turtles to not release them into the wild. Many states also have passed legislation to control the possession and release of pond sliders. Two states have completely banned the sale of these turtles.
In Europe, T. scripta is included since 2016 in the list of Invasive Alien Species of Union concern (the Union list). This implies that this species cannot be imported, bred, transported, commercialized, or intentionally released into the environment in the whole of the European Union. By the first quarter of the 21st century, this species has spread widely across the waters of Europe and Southeast Asia, and is also found in the Urals and Siberia.
Hybridization between yellow-bellied and red-eared sliders is not uncommon where the ranges of the two subspecies overlap.
