Thank you all for 500,000 views!
Of 347 photos posted over 27 months, about half (168) have had more than 1000 views. The stream began with unedited pocket camera shots and improved over time. In March 2014 it passed 200,000 views and then the Japan travelogue had nine Explores which I'm quite pleased about. I'd like to thank everyone who viewed my photostream, and hope that you continue to enjoy it.
Postscript: In April 2015 this account celebrated its third birthday with 1 million views. Statistics on 3 April: 10 Explores, 480 photos, 445 with more than 1000 views; top photo has more than 20,000; about 480 followers. Thanks!

Germany's rocket program was the brainchild of two men, Wernher von Braun and Walter Dornberger--the former for space flight, the latter for long-range bombardment. The two put together a team that began working on the Aggregate series of rockets. By 3 October 1942, the team, working at the Peenemunde test area, were able to launch the A-4 into space. The program got little attention from the Nazi Party or the German military until the reverses of 1943 led both to order development into the A-4 as the V-2--the Vergeltungswaffe (Vengeance Weapon)-2. Hitler ordered the V-2 into full production, but delays, Allied bombing, and further testing pushed the first V-2's deployment into late 1944.
The first V-2 was fired at Paris in early September 1944, and from thence on the majority of launches were made against London and Antwerp. The V-2 was more terrifying than the V-1: it was impossible to intercept, it struck without warning, it contained a much larger warhead, and it did not depend on fixed sites for launch. A V-2 battery could set up and fire in a few hours. Its accuracy left much to be desired, as it lacked any sort of guidance other than timing when the motor would shut off and begin its terminal dive.. Yet when aimed at area targets for the sole purpose of killing civilians, the V-2 was exactly what Hitler wanted. Though the Allies could not stop the rockets once fired, British spies were able to convince the Germans that they were missing London, leading the Germans to adjust their V-2s to actually miss London.
Though the V-2 was militarily ineffective, it nonetheless killed over 4000 people. (To this number should be added the 20,000 people who died in slave labor camps constructing the missile.) Germany would have been better served by spending money on a heavy bomber program: the Third Reich spent more on the V-2 program than the United States spent on the Manhattan Project.
If the V-2 had any use, it would be after the war. German scientists were captured by all three Allied powers and put to work for them, developing rockets. Militarily, the V-2 is the progenitor of all modern ballistic missiles (the infamous Scud is not much more than an upscaled V-2); in the civilian world, the V-2 would contribute significantly to space flight for both the US and the USSR during the Cold War.
This V-2 at the Evergreen Air Museum is a replica, painted in the test pattern used by the Germans; operational V-2s were usually camouflaged or just painted green. In the foreground is the V-2's inspiration: one of Robert Goddard's experimental rockets.
This is the Solite Quarry on the Virginia-North Carolina state line. The rocks quarried here are crushed into aggregate. Good fossils occur at this locality - the original finds were on the Virginia side of the border, while the best fossils are on the North Carolina side. The aggregate plant's physical address is in Virginia. Most of the active pit is in North Carolina.
The rocks here are tilted sedimentary rocks of the Cow Branch Formation (Upper Triassic). The unit is part of the Newark Supergroup, a thick, geographically-widespread stratigraphic unit in eastern America. It is Late Triassic to Early Jurassic in age and represents sediments and some lava flows that filled up old rift valleys roughly paralleling the modern-day Eastern Seaboard of America. The rift basins formed in the Triassic when the ancient Pangaea supercontinent attempted to break apart, but failed. A successful breakup of Pangaea occurred during the Jurassic. Most of the basin-filling rocks are terrestrial redbeds - hematite-rich siliciclastic sedimentary rocks, such as conglomerate, sandstone, siltstone, and shale, deposited in nonmarine environments.

A small hill opposite Midlands Dam was being crushed to make aggregates for building works on roads and dams.
I managed to get in and have a look around the now disused site.
This group shot just emphasizes how awesome the MonsterArts Aggregate is!

A mini-series following my 44mm-high Homies character Pelon, where he poses for photo ops at potholes on the streets of Mount Tabor Park.
Leadership fixes potholes, not patching.
Chronic neglect of Portland’s streets is manifesting in the burgeoning number and size of dangerously large potholes across the city. Here, pothole road damage is seen in Mount Tabor Park, Portland, Oregon.
Engineering: From a technical perspective, a great deal of information can be gleaned from a deep pothole, as it provides a cross-section-view of the pavement structural section…or lack thereof, as in this case. Here, the asphalt wearing surface is heavily pitted, highly oxidized and brittle, confirming many years of neglect. The asphalt layer is minimal, except for the broken patch left of center – obviously a previous attempt to repair this same pothole – confirming this road never received the maintenance originally planned. The river-rounded pebbles of the base course layer tell the story of a roadway constructed originally from deficient materials. Roadway base course should be well-graded, faceted aggregate so as to provide optimum particle interlock – a crushed and sieved mix from those same pebbles would suffice. Finally, from the moisture visible in the pothole, and the shape of terrain at the road shoulders, it is clear that poor drainage has contributed to the failure of this road. The conclusion is unequivocal; this road has failed and no amount of patching will restore a level of service – or service life – that should be reasonably expected of it.
