Switzerland is one of the few places where base Jumping is still legal. Apparently it takes 15 seconds from jump to land - and still they take the leap into cloud. The first you know of them is the rustling overhead as the shoot opens - better than a splat in front of you i guess. An adrenalin rush that's just one step to far if you ask me!

Ambassador Huebner's visit to Southland - Late June, 2010
From Ambassador Huebner's Blog:

I like being places where I can see just blue water and/or blue sky with little that is man-made or non-blue in my field of vision. For that reason, I tend to be drawn toward rocky points, lands ends, and mountain tops.
I also like being places with little or no artifice but lots of heart. For that reason, I have always been drawn to small towns and farms, as well as to the folks who populate them.
For those reasons and many others, I have been greatly looking forward to visiting Southland....read more:

Invercargill's Mayor, Tim Shadbolt, introduced the Ambassador to Invercargill’s cultural achievements such the “World’s Fastest Indian’, a film by Roger Donaldson about local hero Burt Munro.
The Ambassador was in Invercargill at the invitation of the Federated Farmers to give a speech at their annual conference.
The Ambassador also visited:
- Ruru School, a special needs unit catering for juniors through to 2I year olds, run by devoted principal Erin Cairns and staff. The school performed a proud welcome haka and there was a performance from the school rock band.
- Southland Girl’s High School
- Alfons Zeestraten’s state of the art ‘wintering shed’. His very large herd of dairy cows do not have to be sent away to drier pastures in winter, they get to stay at home in open plan luxury accommodation (complete with automatic rotating brush back scratchers).
- Fonterra milk powder plant which is capable of handling 15 million litres of milk a day.
- New Zealand’s first earth worm based sewage treatment farm and a leading ‘environmental engineering’ project.
- Bluff: hosts and quota owners Willy and Karen Caulder along with Graeme Wright from Barnes Oysters had the Ambassador eating raw and cooked oysters by 9.45am! The Ambassador also toured Willy and Karen’s boat ‘The Argosy”

This guard shack was part of a Nike Missile Base Missile Site in Menomonee Falls (Milwaukee), WI. About 1/2 mile away was the radar site administration building, and barracks. The missiles have been removed and other than a concrete pad nothing is left except for a storage building. The land is now privately owned.
At Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, a Poly Picosatellite Orbital Deployer, or P-POD, container is installed on the Joint Polar Satellite System-1, or JPSS-1, spacecraft. P-PODS are auxiliary payloads launched aboard NASA expendable launch vehicles carrying up to three small CubeSats. The small cube-shaped satellites are part of NASA’s Educational Launch of Nanosatellite, or ELaNa, missions. The small payloads are designed and built by students from high school-level classes up to college and university students. JPSS is the first in a series of four next-generation environmental satellites in a collaborative program between the NOAA and NASA. Liftoff from Vandenberg's Space Launch Compex-2 atop a United Launch Alliance Delta II rocket is scheduled for 1:47 a.m. PST (4:47 a.m. EST), on Nov. 14, 2017.

This is just a picture of a base I made a while ago, just so that I can get a decent picture of it before I scrap it. (gallery on Mocpages if you're interested)
The Memorial Park was created to memorialize service members who participated in conflicts around the world. According to the Air Combat Command History Office, the planes at the Park are painted gray to avoid being related to any specific unit. They are there to memorialize all Airmen who gave their lives defending the country.
The aircraft in the photograph was ordered in 1961 and built by Republic Aviation with the tail number 61-188. In this 2017 photograph, the aircraft is marked with the tail number 61-217. The aircraft manufactured with the tail number 61-217 was shot down over North Vietnam on September 16, 1965.
Detail of the base of an Ionic column from the Tetrastyle Temple (also known as the Tempio della Sibilla), Tivoli, Italy.
Date: late second century BCE.
Material: travertine base and column drums, which were covered with a layer of stucco.
Inset drawing modified from R. Delbrück, Hellenistische Bauten in Latium (Strassburg 1912).
Compare to the travertine Ionic base from the Temple of Portunus in Rome, perhaps a slightly later date by 25-50 years (note, for example, the difference in the carving of the lower terminus of the fluting):
The construction of my base continues.
This pic was taken in March 2010.
Many facilities must be finished.
Humbrol 155 was then sprayed over the base with lighter tones added by adding yellow and cream. Here I have started to pick out some of the stowage ready for painting, by starting them in black I hope it will add more interest.

Lorient housed a German submarine base during World War II; although the city was heavily damaged by Allied bombing raids, the base survived through to the end of the war. As they could not destroy the base itself, the Allies decided to bomb the city, in order to cut supply lines to the U-boats. Without fuel, provisions or water, it became impossible for these submarines to return to the Atlantic. Between the 14 of January 1943 and the 17 of February 1943, as many as 500 explosive bombs and more than 60,000 incendiary bombs were dropped on the city. Lorient was almost completely destroyed, with nearly 90% of the city flattened, thousands of French civilians were killed.
Today the former submarine base of Keroman is open to the public and can be visited year-round. During the tour the submarine pens of block K3 can be seen. The roof area (3.40m to 7m thick) can be accessed, as well as a former anti aircraft defence tower high on top of the base. The tower affords an excellent view of the harbour and of the former headquarters of the German Commander Karl Dönitz across the bay at Larmor-Plage.
