Day 4, 2013 road trip, west Texas. This was the Rattlesnake Bomber Base, a training facility for World War II pilots. Eventually the facility was closed and abandoned. It was used for the hanger where Judd Nelson is going to skydive in the film "Fandango".
The base area has been used for a school and a prison in the last 20-30 years but I believe is currently completely abandoned. However there really isn't anyway to access the area of the former hangers. They can be seen somewhat, what is left of them, from Interstate 20, like some massive ruins off in the distance.
The architectural fragments at the base of the St Anne window symbolise the fall of the pagan empires and ascendant Christianity, thus symbolising the powers portrayed as oppressors in the Old & New Testaments..
St Anne's Roman Catholic church, in the Chapel End / Camp Hill area of Nuneaton, was built in 1999-2000 to replace the original basic dual-purpose church/school built in the 1940s with a limited budget and lifespan. The new church was opened in March 2000, and dedicated later that year by Archbishop Vincent Nicholls.
The church is square in plan with the corners angled (forming an uneven octagon) with the orientation on the diagonal axis facing south east. There is an unfortunate inbalance in the glazing within, which is concentrated on the north and east walls, the remaining walls having the parish rooms attached. The original design included a central lantern over the nave, but this was sadly abandoned during construction owing to rising costs (this would have given the building a more 'church-like' profile outside and greater light within).
Following my work at Sacred Heart, Bilton I was invited to prepare designs for several of the church's windows prior to construction, and thus had the sanctuary oculus with the dove of the Holy Spirit installed for the first mass in the church in March 2000. In the following years the project continued for the adjoining five windows including a central image of the church's patron St Anne with her daughter Mary.
The remaining windows were filled a few years later with a Crucifixion group and a more abstract Sacrament-themed composition (in lighter colours as continuing the rich blue scheme set by the earlier windows would have made the church too dark!), making this my largest ever stained glass project and my only complete scheme of church windows to date.
In July 2012 a final touch was added when I painted the Sanctuary ceiling with a design of Seraphim and stars in blue and gold, a concept under discussion for some time to remedy the lack of structural emphasis on the altar area and create a more fitting focal point to the interior, with the angel's wings suggesting a canopy.

I added the second floor and i still need a planet for this base, but the planet cannont be Naboo, Alderran or Endor. And the planet must have forests.

The main base paper was copied from a piece of scrapbook paper. I had to scan and re-print my piece of paper because I didn't have enough sheets to make the 4x4 grid=16 sheets of paper. These print out at about 8x8- making the inner base about 32 inches square. I overwrote a prayer onto this base using a letter stencil and some silver metallic ink. I sort of adapted the common prayer said at funerals, the one with the line that says "earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust."

James Anderson, a native of Charlotte, Mich., as he holds his son Kaleb, 3, during a redeployment ceremony at Buckner Physical Fitness Center on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson. Nearly 100 U.S. Army Alaska Soldiers returned home Thursday evening, March 14, from a nine-month deployment to the southern provinces of Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. The Soldiers are assigned to the 23rd Engineer Company, part of the 2nd Engineer Brigade home based at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson. During their deployment, the Soldiers performed dangerous route clearance missions to remove improvised explosive devices along often-used roads. The unit was featured in the National Geographic Channel's "Bomb Hunters: Afghanistan," and three-part Discovery Channel documentary "Heroes of Hell's Highway."

After a wind storm shredded our Big Agnes tent in Moab we have decided to go with a Marmot. A better design allows it to handle the wind and rain better.
