Newport Strider L69EKG which has been a member of the Robinsons of Appleby fleet for some years, now moving on to a new home. The door intentionally left part open on "single control" to illustrate a once common useful feature on Newport vehicles.

If not for the striding fellow, this pic may not have made it to Flickr :) .
The Windhover Hall inside the Milwaukee Art Museum. From mam.org - Awash in white with exquisite marble flooring, this magnificent light-filled grand reception hall boasts a 90-foot-high glass ceiling located directly below the Burke Brise Soleil and serves as the gateway to the Museum. The site of exhibition openings, brunches, weddings, and art fairs, among other special events, Windhover Hall—whose lake side is often compared to the prow of a ship—is open to the public without charge during regular Museum hours.

The Gerridae Water Strider bug is essential to protecting and controlling the open ocean in the bug wars. Based after the only insect species ever to successfully colonize the open ocean, the lightly armed, but lightning quick Battle Bug is indispensable to the naval war effort.
The Strider is designed as a mobile sonar, and surface radar platform. It's center and rear legs allow it to skim across the water with virtually no sonar or EM signature beneath the surface, while it's two fore legs contain powerful passive sonar sensors. It's entire upper body is a powerful passive sensor suite to watch for surface threats.
Only armed with two plasma cannons near it's head, the Skipper's main defense is it's stealthy nature. Torpedoes and other underwater weapons have nothing to lock onto even with active sonar.
The Skipper itself is equipped with active sonar, but it is highly unlikely to use it. It's antenna are held high above the water to give it a long communication range, and the bug is equipped with a ELF (Extremely Low Frequency) transceiver for communication through salt water.
The Water Strider is first and last an intelligence bug. It's mission is to know where the enemy is, without letting the enemy know where it is. At this it excels.
This was built for the Battle Bugs June build challenge: Water Weirdness
Battlebugs is returning to BrickCon in 2010, so be sure to bring your bugs!!!
'Hell Striders' - I haven't painted an illustration from my 'Exotic Slaughter' world for some time, but have had lots of ideas in my sketchbook just waiting for the time to be bought to life! So here's the 'Hell Striders' - Huge, genetically engineered creatures, tethered to vast gas filled airships, that pump flammable gases down to them, channeled through umbilicals, a capable of projecting the flames hundreds of metres across the battlefields and trenches of WW1. Two handlers ride on it's back, controlling the fire spitting, temperamental beasts, and ensuring the gas supply from the airships is constant. Great herds of these monsters, slowly stride across non mans land, spewing inferno's and death as they sweep by. Feel free to share....

Striding Edge - Helvellyn.
I've already put a couple of photo's of Striding Edge already, this is one of the nicest, I think. I like the lighting here, and the three climbers descending gives an indication of scale.
Ullswater is clearly visible here, Place Fell and part of the High Street Range is visible in the background.

Something of an enigma to this photograph...P177VDW spent its entire life at Newport until July 2011 when it was collected by connexions buses along with sister 93 for a new life in Yorkshire. Four years hard work and it was time to be replaced, holding the fort as the final Strider in the connexions fleet it was fitting that Cardiff Preservation Group were interested. On 21st July 2015 almost 4 years to the day when it went North, it was driven down to South Wales for them. By strange co-incidence connexions had acquired some vehicles from Newport again which needed picking up so 77 dropped a vip driver off on its way to Barry. Here it sits in the yard at Newport 4 years after leaving, you may think a "foreign" bus parked there may receive a frosty reception, but no.. staff came out of the offices & workshops to admire & take pictures of their old friend which had returned to say hello...all had positive comments recalling the "striders" as the best buses they ever had !
Gyps fulvus
Thankfully these majestic Vultures are not so far succumbing to the chemical induced population crashes that have afflicted their cousins across Asia and now Africa.
Lovely sunny lunch... so made it all black!
