During the 2nd World War the Germans built a "gunrange" for their heavy artillery. These walls served as a silencer and as a means of stopping shots gone a stray. The walls are riddled with holes of reflecting the calibre hitting them. 8 of them standing up to 10 metres tall, and spaced evenly apart. They end inside a small sandfilled cave inside a small hill. via 500px bit.ly/1RG1d7O

America-An Angelic Prospectus (10-05)
1. He's going to let the pressure out
Before it gets too old,
Before the fire stops burning-
Before it gets too cold.
He's going to get adjusted,
Before it gets too late-
Before the river runs its course
And leaves him at the gate.
He listened to you long enough,
Let you have your say-
Hunkered down in dreary towns,
Free-falling in the fray.
Some things don’t matter any more-
It’s plain enough to see,
Some things are very simple,
They happen….naturally.
2. Independence indigence,
Insurrection-on-
Spiritual insanity,
Delusion on the throne.
Continental congress,
Covenant complete-
Freedom found
From captive crown,
Taxation by defeat.
Won in war by warrior
Bowed behind the scene,
With governmental grannies
Gassed and running lean.
Sequential celebrations
Leaning to the right,
Took the town
To middle ground
Then sweetened up the fight.
3. Promise within promises,
Permanence in peace,
Stolen blind
By kindred minds
In national retreat.
God is gone,
Like Gustov’s ghost
On graduated ground-
Ridden rampant on a rail,
Run right out of town.
Religion’s rotting refuse,
Educated zeal,
Baby and bathwater,
Thrown out
By window seal.
Agreement by convenience,
The triad is complete-
The church, the crown,
The golden ground,
Professionals at least.
4. Garish, gloating, gatherings,
Temperamental tasks-
Tarnished targets
Tempting time with
Brutal baby blasts.
Fallen fronts,
Forensic flash,
Fine and faker fast-
Foul and festering
Filthy freight,
Fleeing from the past.
Happy hoppy horn toad,
Captain of the world-
No feral fear,
Calm crystal queer-
Call every boy and girl.
Mother’s mayhem
Adam’s aunt,
Gone completely mad-
Tried-on,
Tricked-up trousers
Tenderized a tad.
5. Evening ever-afters,
Happy once again-
Haunted house,
Forget the spouse,
“Egad”
The men are dead.
Lovely Lucys laughing,
Controlling interest lair,
The lion is dead,
So go to bed-
Don’t bother with the bear.
Fashion fledgling,
Faded farce,
Fractured flaky foe-
Disneyed duckling
Drawn and daft,
Domesticated woe.
Fricasseed and
Freezer freed,
Stolen by the mole-
Galloping,
The gourmet ran
Grimly to the goal.
6. Down and distance
Delicate,
Don’t do the
Dirty Dan.
Playmate pawns
Now petrified,
Passed on by
Peter Pan.
Willful,
Wicked wonders-
Empty and petite-
Cover blown,
Refused by phone-
Destined for defeat.
Sayonara Sonya-
Cronkite caught a cold-
While Willy Wonka
Whacked a weed,
Then headed down
The road.
7. Christ like crucifixions,
Criminal and crass,
Crippled captains
Carcassed cold,
Middle-eastern mass.
Choose to tremble,
Choose to cheat,
Choose whom you will serve-
Choose to conquer,
Or..Choose defeat-
The quintessential blurb.
Honing hackers
Headed home,
Hackensackin fools,
Round and round
To tumble down-
With detrimental tools.
8. Hemispheric hovering-
Contract incomplete-
Pioneered truth
By blazered brute,
Confused by
Quiet elite.
It’s given best,
To those who rest,
In reverential form.
With wealth well cast
To traveler who’s sheltered
From the storm.
Retreat is not an option-
By this time life is spent-
Though living in
And impact zone
Is hardly worth the rent.
9. Revolution ready-
Armed and graveled green-
No average addled army,
To slay this brazen queen.
Unseen waiting Warrior-
Wondrous to behold-
Breastplate bronzed
And burnished-
Countenance so bold.
Dispatched in dog-ged duty,
Determined and complete-
To fight with fire and fury,
Till victory’s at his feet!

FEDERAL STUDENT LOANS: Education Could Do More to Help Ensure Borrowers Are Aware of Repayment and Forgiveness Options
Note: Percentages may not add to 100 due to rounding. At the time of our analysis, adjusted gross income data were not available for 30 percent of Income-Based Repayment and 35 percent of Pay As You Earn participants, due to the timing of when Education began recording the information in the National Student Loan Data System. We did not include these participants in our analysis.

新しく買ったSIGMAのレンズのAFが後ピン方向に激しくズレていた為、調整しました。
微調整の範囲で調整がしきれなかった為デバックモードで+140μm補正しました。
キットで付いてきたレンズも恐ろしく後ピンの状態だったのでカメラ本体の問題だったのかもしれません。
メーカー調整に出そうか悩みます・・・
チャートは光源の関係で逆さにして使いました^^
Because AF of the lens which I bought newly did not match, I adjusted it.
This swap was made for Annette Jensen from the AG Collector list. It is for her American Girl Kit doll.
I made the dress with embroidered collar and the cloth doll with a dress to match. The doll is made from the dollhouse doll pattern in Edith Flack Ackley's Dolls to Make for Fun and Profit which was published in 1938, just a few years after Kit's time.
I also knitted matching sweaters for Kit and her EFA doll. The Kit sweater is from a slightly adjusted (I left out a couple of rows and used sport weight yarn and small needles) Five Hour Baby pattern. It really does work up nearly that fast.
As a finishing touch I made Kit a diary with the story of her new dress and doll's dress written in it by hand.
This was a really fun swap to work on.
Kit's Diary written for the AG Spring Swap on Friday, March 28, 2003

Dear Diary,
Aunt Millie says if I want to be a famous author, I need to keep a diary.
Mother helped me to make this book. I wanted one of those cute little leather ones that are red and have a lock and key, but of course we can't afford one. This will serve very well I think. Mother says I don't need a key because we don't have any snoops!
Jan 10
Dear Diary,
We have a new boarder. He is an artist with the WPA. He is going to paint a mural on the courthouse. All the girls at school are jealous because he is young and quite handsome. I think I am going to like him because he is funny.
Jan 14
Dear Diary,
Betsy Moore is having a birthday party next week. I hope her mom makes her coconut cake! I am embroidering a handkerchief.
Jan 21
Dear Diary,
Betsy's party was fun. We had cake and her father made ice cream. WE played Drop the Clothespin in the Bottle, Musical Chairs and Truth or Dare.
Jan 22
Mr. Connoughly has started sketches for his mural. He says there is a lot of preliminary work to do.
Jan 27
Dear Diary,
Mrs. May gave me an "A" on my composition. I was worried that she wouldn't like it.
Feb 2
Dear Diary,
The groundhog saw his shadow. It looks like more winter.
Feb 6
Mr. Connoughly asked mother if I can sit for sketches. She said I may if one of the boarders is there to chaperone.
Feb 7
Dear Diary,
We had our first sitting today. I had to stay very still, but Mr. C told me about his family so it was easy.
He has 7 brothers and sisters. Connie is just my age. She sounds like a lot of fun. I think he misses them.
Feb 11
Dear Diary,
Tom Snead broke his arm today at school. He was showing off as usual. I still feel sorry for him. The girls can't wait to see what I look like in the mural. I told them Mr. C may not use my face in it.
Feb 13
Dear Diary,
Charlie and Miss P are sitting for sketches too. We take turns chaperoning. Of course Charlie doesn't need a chaperone, but he makes a good one. It makes me feel grown-up to need one.
Feb 24
Dear Diary,
Tom's arm itches him. He scratches it with a broom straw when Mrs. May isn't looking. He makes the awfulest faces. Mary C. has a new kitten.
Feb 26
Dear Diary,
I wonder if spring will ever arrive. I am so tired of wet and cold.
At least the sittings are fun. Mr. C and Miss P tell the best stories. They even listen to my stories. Of course Charlie is Charlie.
Feb 28
Dear Diary,
Mr. C got a letter from Connie and it had a special letter in it for me. We are going to be pen pals.
March 2
Dear Diary,
Betsy M has been telling us about the Easter dress that her mother is ordering her from the Sears catalog. It sounds lovely. I don't suppose I'll get a new one this year.
March 4
Dear Diary,
I am getting a new dress. Mother bought the prettiest feed sacks yesterday. We will have fittings tomorrow. Fittings and sittings, what's next?
March 6
Dear Diary,
Fittings are tiresome. Mother sticks pins in me. Her stories aren't as funny either.
Mr. C is working on a surprise for Mother and Father. He is going to paint me! A real portrait. He says that we have all made him feel at home and he wants to repay them. I guess he doesn't think the rent is enough.
We had a long sitting today, but he wouldn't let me see what he had done. I've been telling them a made-up story. Miss P says that I have a way with words and should write it down.
Funny thing - May Belle wasn't on my bed when I got home from school today. When I went back after the sitting, there she was. A mystery!
Maybe I'd better start hiding you, dear diary.
March 11
Dear Diary,
Betsy's dress has arrived. I went to see it. It is pretty, but it doesn't have embroidery on the collar like Mother is putting on my dress. Mary's mother is making her an Easter dress too. Tom says girls are silly for worrying about dresses.
March 13
Dear Diary,
My dress is almost done. It is turning out pretty.
We had another long sitting today. I told them more of my story about Princess Kittriana. I think I will put Tom in it. He can be the fool!
May Belle was moved again today. I'm sure of it. Who would want to bother my doll?
I'm going to lay a thread across her lap when I leave tomorrow morning.
March 14
Dear Diary,
I knew it. The thread was gone. This is really strange. I wonder if anything is missing.
Mr C still won't let me see the painting. He is going to give it to them on Easter.
The mural is starting to look like our town. I go by every day and see what has been finished.
March 18
Dear Diary,
We are going to Grandma's for Easter. All of the boarders have been invited too, and Aunt Millie will be there. I miss her.
I got another letter from Connie today. This time Mr C's letter was in my envelope. I am going to tell her that I think Miss P is sweet on her brother.
March 21
Dear Diary,
Spring is officially here today, but it is still cold and dreary.
I went by and played with Mary's kitten after school today. I told her about the mystery with May Belle. She is going to come over tomorrow and we are going to look for more clues.
March 22
Dear Diary,
The mystery is getting deeper. When Mary and I looked for clues, the white thread I had put on May Belle was gone and a blue one was there instead! Mary thinks someone is playing tricks on me. Could it be Charlie? I don't think he would come in my room. Tom would do it if he could get away with it, but someone would see him.
March 27
Dear Diary,
Mr. C has finished Mother and Dad's painting. He took it to the farm, so Grandpa could make a frame. Miss P says it looks just like me. I wouldn't know since I still haven't seen it. I did see some daffodils today. Spring can't be far off.
Easter is next week. I can't wait.
March 29
Mary's dress is finished too. All of us will look so spiffy at church on Sunday. Even Tom has a new white shirt. He says he's not wearing a tie, but I bet his mom makes him.
Easter Morning
Dear Diary,
This has already been a fun day. I can't wait for the rest of it to come. When I came down for breakfast there was an Easter egg peeking out behind Mother's vase. Mr. W had hid them while everyone else was getting ready for church. Maybe he isn't so bad. Got to run. I'll write more tonight.
Easter Evening
Dear Diary,
What a day!! First some more about the egg hunt. They were the prettiest eggs I've ever seen. Mr C showed Mother and Miss P how to make them. They thinned his oil paints with oil and floated the paint on water. When they dipped the eggs, they came out all different colors. Mr. C calls it marbled.
Mother made me go back upstairs after breakfast to get my old navy blue sweater. I didn't want to cover up my dress, but Mother said it's still chilly.
You will never guess what I saw on my bed when I went to get the sweater. May Belle was wearing a new dress just like mine! It even has embroidery on the collar. Mother made it on the sly. Mary and I had a good laugh at church when I told her. I guess that clears up our mystery.
I gave her and Betsy one of the pretty eggs. The others we took to Grandma's and made deviled eggs with them. Mother says we can't afford to waste anything.
The painting was waiting at Grandma's house when we all got there. She had a sheet over it and had it propped up on a chair. Mother wanted to know what it was and Grandpa said Mr. C would have to show us. He made a little speech and pulled off the cover. Mother had tears in her eyes and I couldn't believe my eyes. He had painted me as Princess Kittriana! I had on a beautiful pink dress and even a crown! No wonder he didn't want me to see it. Everyone said it looks just like me.
Grandma had another surprise for me. She gave me a package wrapped in tissue paper. In it was a navy blue sweater for May Belle! We really look like twins now!
I have written so much tonight that my hand hurts. This has been the best day! To make it even better, I think Spring is finally here.
Photo with sweaters below.
The Kodak Duaflex is a 620 roll film pseudo TLR made by Kodak in the US and UK. The original versions were available from December 1947 - September 1950 in the US, and 1949-1955 in the UK; the Duaflex IV was finally discontinued in the US in March 1960.
The various Duaflexes had aluminum alloy bodies and were available with either a simple fixed focus 75mm f/15 Kodet lens, or with a 72mm f/8 Kodar triplet lens in a front-element focusing (to 3.5 ft.) mount. The Kodar lens had Waterhouse stops of f/8, 11, and 16. The shutter had speeds of "I" and "B", and was synched for use with a Kodalite Flasholder.
The Duaflex II is an aluminum bodied twin-lens-reflex 620 film camera, and although this version features an adjustable focus lens it has no rangefinder system.
The Duaflex II was the first in the Duaflex line to feature a viewfinder hood to help shield the viewing window and thereby make the image easier to view. It was also the first version to feature a flash and double exposure prevention.
The Duaflex II has a very simple Waterhouse Aperture with three settings f/8, f/11 and f/16. A Waterhouse Aperture is a piece of metal with various size holes cut in it that travel across the lens when you move the aperture selection.
This Duaflex II has a 72mm Kodar adjustable focus lens, there are versions of the Duaflex line that feature a lower quality fixed focus lens.
The Duaflex takes 12 6cm x 6cm exposures on 620 roll film. The shutter is a dual select-able speed leaf type, the speeds are Instant which is flash synced and Bulb. The shutter speed is estimated to be between 1/30th and 1/50th of a second.

A photographer appears to make some adjustments to his camera and telescope setup prior to the beginning of the solar eclipse of April 8, 2024. It appears one of his two cameras has a Pringles lens. Maybe potato chips make good solar filters?
