Three strong oxen were living in the bush. one red, white and black. One day a lion came upon them and wondered how he might eat the three oxen. The lion realized that he could not attack all the three oxen at the same time . He made a plan to divide them and eat them one by one.
The lion came to the red & black oxen and told them that the white ox was spoiling the bush where they lived. He suggested that the white ox should be killed in order to save the environment. Unknowingly the two oxen thought that the lion was right and allowed him to kill and eat the white ox.
After few days, the lion again came to the red ox and told him that the black ox was arrogant and was intending to kill him (the red ox). The lion suggested that he should protect the life of the red ox by killing the black ox. The red ox agreed the lion’s plan and killed the black ox.
After few days the lion came to the red ox and said, “It is now your time to die.”
The red ox now understood the planned trick of the lion, but was powerless .
The red ox said to the lion,
“You killed me when you killed the white ox.”

The Syrian horse sculpture can be found standing on the cliffs over looking the entrance to Uddevalla's harbour. Standing at 5 meters tall and weighing just over 500kg it's quite an impressive statue. And one that is photographed quite often (though not by me)!
The oldest soap in the world, Aleppo soap was originally developed in the city of Aleppo 3,500 years ago. With the civil war its production was stopped.
Meanwhile a part is made in Lebanon, which also suffered the civil war.
Now Lebanon is a model of living together. Let’s hope the same for Syria.

Krak des Chevaliers is a Crusader castle in Syria and one of the most important medieval castles in the world.
Palmyra is a set of spectacular ruins in Syria (which none of us have visited recently), but which I was fortunate to have seen in 2001. ISIS dynamited several of the monuments here, murdered the chief historian, etc. and tried to remove any evidence of any pre-Islam religion. The Brits set up a model of this arch in London (Trafalgar Sq), which was on the news yesterday.
Preservationists/archaeologists who have visited the site (since its recent re-capture by the Syrian govt) are cautiously optimistic that some of these monuments (including this arch) can be reconstructed...

Muslim in the Great Mosque of Aleppo.
The Great Mosque of Aleppo or the Ummayad Mosque of Aleppo (Masjid al-Umayya bi Halab) is the largest and oldest mosque in the city of Aleppo in northern Syria. The present mosque dates form the 13th century Mamluk period, only the Seljuk minaret of 1090 is older. It is located in its Old City. The mosque is said to entomb the remains of Zechariah, father of John the Baptist.
The good shepherd seemed anxious that the unusual occurrence of a steam hauled train, albeit a ramshackle one, might spook the flock. He need not have worried - they all took it in their stride.

It's been awhile since I've posted, but I still have been lurking the past couple months.
Enjoy this Syrian rebel outpost I finished a couple of weeks ago.
I have a Russian SU-34 Medium Bomber in the works and an artillery piece I will be posting soon.

As ISIS insurgents make last-ditch efforts to recapture the city of Mosul, US special forces assist a wounded soldier about to be overtaken by an extremist. (June 26th, 2017)
While this may be fictional, I wanted to re-experiment with forced perspective methods as well as a new method of mine to make more textured walls (seen near the operator with the M249).
I know it's been quite a while since I posted, but I've been much busier than I anticipated this summer, and my basement just flooded, which is where all of my Lego bricks are kept. Disastrous.
