Front yard art, Dodge (Power Giant?).
Anyone got a year/model for me on the 5 window, dual wheel, quad headlight V8 truck?
From; Atkipete - "It is an Aussie built Dodge 'Power Giant' A10 model from the early 60s. Originally a petrol V8 but the raised air cleaner behind the cab suggests it has been repowered."
I think, near ~ Beerwah, Queensland, Australia.

340-character Zodiac cipher observations
Ngram observations
Cipher contains 25 repeated bigrams, 2 repeated trigrams, and 0 repeated quadgrams.
In a test of 1,000,000 random shuffles, 110,147 (11%) had 25 or more repeated bigrams, and the average number of repeats was 20.
In a test of 1,000,000 random shuffles, 67,573 (7%) had 2 or more repeated trigrams, and the average number of repeats was 0.4.
In a test of 1,000,000 random shuffles, 7,857 (0.8%) had at least one repeated quadgram, and the average number of repeats was 0.008.
5-gram repeating fragments study
The IOF trigram repeats in the same columns, and are spaced 8 lines apart, reminiscent of the 8-line height of each of the original 3 parts of the 408 cipher.
TODO: Multidirectional ngram study (including multiple distances, and repeating fragments)
TODO: Periodicity of repeating fragments study
Reading the cipher text from left to right and top to bottom, the longest sequence containing no repeated bigrams starts at position 168, and has length 123
TODO: periodic ngram / fragment test of individual halves of the 340 (horizontally and vertically), as well as individual "even/odd" transformations.
Unusual biases in the number of bigram repeats
Top half / bottom half bias
The lower left of the cipher text seems to contain very few repeated bigrams
The top half of the cipher text, considered on its own, contains 9 repeated bigrams. However, the bottom half of the cipher text, considered on its own, contains only 1 repeated bigram.
In 1,000,000 shuffles, only 2.4% of them had halves with a repeated bigram discrepancy as large as the one observed in the 340 (i.e., a difference of at least 8 repeated bigrams between the halves).
By contrast, the 408's top half has 17 repeated bigrams and its bottom half has 14.
Even / odd position bias
The cipher text also shows a bias in repeated bigram counts within even positions and odd positions.
If you remove all symbols that are in even-numbered positions, there are only 2 repeated bigrams.
In this case, there are also 0 repeated trigrams.
If you remove all symbols that are in odd-numbered positions, there are 10 repeated bigrams.
In this case, there are also 2 repeated trigrams.
(Illustration)
The difference in bigram repeats between both cases is 8. During shuffle tests, the difference was 8 or higher in only 2.4% of shuffles. This is the same difference and percentage found for the top half / bottom half bias.
(Distribution of repeated bigram discrepancy among shuffles)
In the unmodified 340, there is a "box corner" pattern that repeats. After removing all symbols falling on odd-numbered positions, repeating trigrams appear where the box corner patterns were observed.
In this illustration, the box corners are highlighted in green on the left. The repeating trigrams are shown on the right, highlighted in purple. Note the repeating sequence "O, half-filled square, C" that is seen in both cases.
Similar repeating patterns can be also found (illustration)
Periodic ngram bias
Consider the normal way of counting bigrams (one symbol right next to another). Let's call this "period 1" bigrams, because the symbols are one position apart. There are 25 repeating period 1 bigrams. But at other periods, there is a higher count of repeating bigrams. In fact, at period 19, there are 37 repeating bigrams. (Illustration of a small sample of repeating period 19 bigrams) (Daikon's initial observation) (Jarlve's initial observation)
Repeating period 19 bigrams highlighted in the cipher text
The same, but easier to spot when cipher is written into 19 columns
A test of 1,000,000 random shuffles suggests a 1 in 216 chance that this is happening by chance
If you look at all periods from 2 to 170, 34 of them have 25 or more repeating bigrams. In other words: 20% of other periods have equal or better repeating bigram response than period 1.
Also, if you flip the ciphertext horizontally (horizontal mirroring), a higher peak occurs at period 15, which produces 41 repeating bigrams. This is consistent with the phenomenon that normal (period 1) bigrams have more repeats when the cipher text is flipped horizontally.
A test of 1,000,000 random shuffles suggests a 1 in 12821 chance that this is happening by chance
A second peak of of 34 repeating bigrams occurs at period 29.
A third peak of 33 repeating bigrams occurs at period 100.

Plot of periodic trigram counts in normal and mirrored cipher texts (Raw data: Period, # of repeated trigrams in normal 340, # of repeated trigrams in mirrored 340)
Repeated quadgrams appear only at periods 101 and 116. They do not appear when considering the mirrored ciphertext.
A repeated 5-grams appears at period 101
Bigram peaks still seem to appear even if you filter out the effects of the symbols that occur 10 or more times.
Jarlve's repeating fragment measurements seem to correlate strongly with periods 19 (normal cipher) and 15 (mirrored cipher).
Inserting a randomized column causes a 40 bigram peak to occur at period 5
TODO: Jarlve's "symbol expansion" test, higher ordered ngrams and fragments
TODO: how often does a random shuffle show a period that has repeated quadgrams/5grams?

Repeated symbols by columns and rows
The 340 cipher has 9 rows that each contain no repeated symbols (Illustration. Rows are marked in yellow.) In 1,000,000 shuffles, no shuffled cipher text had at least 9 rows with no repeated symbols (plot of distribution) (raw data)
If you split the cipher in half with a horizontal cut in the middle, the top and bottom halves each start with 3 lines that have no repeated symbols. This symmetry is discussed in Dan Olson's analysis.
Every column contains at least one repeated symbol.

Kasiski Examination
A Kasiski examination performed on unigrams in Z340 reveals a spike at shift of 78 (Source: Bart Wenmeckers).
The pivot patterns turn into repeating bigrams at period 39. The number 39 is exactly half of 78. And half of 39 is tantalizingly close to 19, which is the period that produces the peak number of repeating bigrams.
Application of Z408's key to Z340 results in a "plaintext" that still retains a Kasiski examination spike at shift of 78.
Among 1,000,000 random shuffles, only 0.28% of them had a spike as good or better as the one observed in Z340.
For shift values of 2 through 6, the number of repeats is unusually low (1 or 2).
Visualization of peak at shift 78 by viewing as doubles in untransposed period 78 (with pivots highlighted)
The doubles are easier to see when Z340 is transcribed to width 26
When calculating column IoC at different column widths, spikes are observed at widths 39 and 78. (Source: Bart Wenmeckers)
The "Pivots"
The 340 contains a pair of intersecting repeating trigrams. We refer to each repeating trigram as a "pivot". Illustration and analysis
The pivot patterns become repeating bigrams if you rewrite the cipher text at period 39.
When calculating column IoC at different column widths, spikes are observed at widths 39 and 78 (see Kasiski examination section above)
When numbering the cipher text from 1 to 340, the intersections of the pivot patterns fall on positions 195 and 234, which are 39 positions apart. Interestingly, 195 and 234 are both evenly divisible by 39.
Similarly, the pivot patterns become repeating bigrams if you mirror the cipher text horizontally and rewrite it at period 29.
Period 29 is the 2nd highest periodic bigram peak for the mirrored 340 (see the Periodic ngram bias section above)
In an experiment, the 340 was randomly shuffled over 41 million times. A pair of pivots that point in the same direction was only observed in about 1 in 237,000 shuffles.
In this study the 340 was shuffled and the number of repeating bigrams was fixed at a set number. Transposition was performed and pivot pairs were counted. The results show that higher bigram counts cause pivot pairs to be created more often, but they are still rare.
Other observations
Some symbols in the 340 were not in the 408's alphabet
The paper the cipher is written on contains several Fifth Avenue watermarks (here's glurk's animation to help you spot where they appear).
The first 3 symbols of the 340 do not reappear soon. It starts with "HER", and H only appears 3 other times, E only appears 2 other times. (From Duman)
In the third column, the 3 occurrences of the "R" symbol are evenly spaced, each separated by four rows. (From Wrench)
The author of the cipher does not use the forward-facing letter Q as a cipher symbol, but uses a backwards-facing Q instead. Similarly, he does not use the forward-facing letter C as a cipher symbol in the 408-character cipher, but uses a backwards-facing C instead. Why doesn't he use up all the normal alphabetic symbols before resorting to additional symbols and variations? (one possible explanation)
The first repeated symbol occurs at the 19th position. Thus the first 18 symbols contain no repeats. Coincidentally, the last 18 symbols of the 408 cipher do not form a legible solution. (From traveller1st)
The most frequently occurring symbol, +, occurs 24 times. Only once does it fall on a prime-numbered position in the cipher text (counting from 1 to 340), against expectations. Also both occurrences of the X symbol fall on prime positions against expectations. (From Dan Johnson) (TODO: Prime phobia distribution study for all symbols)
Possible schemes that increase probability of natural appearance of this phenomenon
The second most frequently occurring symbol, B, occurs 12 times. Only once does it fall on a prime-numbered position in the cipher text (counting from 1 to 340), against expectations. (From Dan Johnson)
The upper loop of the "B" symbol on line 19 column 9 is larger than the lower loop, making the symbol look disproportional and distinct from the other "B" symbols. (From Doc. Doc also speculates the symbol was original a "P" and the author corrected it by adding the bottom loop.)
The last occurrence of the "+" symbol is wider than the others. (From Doc. Doc speculates that the author "hesitated" on this symbol.)
Cipher symbols seem to get larger as the cipher goes on. Row 20 seems larger than Row 1. (From Doc. Doc speculates the author wrote the cipher from top to bottom, and was tiring.)
The backwards D at the end of the first line appears to have a dot in it.
The symbols that represent "R" in the 408 are Br.jpg and Backslash.jpg. Both symbols are missing from the 340 cipher. (Source: Wier)
The symbol '+' is frequently adjacent (in all directions, not just left/right) to the symbol 'R'. (Source: www.zodiackillersite.com/viewtopic.php?p=39791#p39791). 'B' is the 2nd most common symbol in the cipher (12 appearances), but for some reason it is adjacent to only one of the 24 '+' symbols.
The average of the position numbers for all occurrences of the '+' symbol is 171, which is only one position from the midpoint of the cipher. This suggests the + symbols are very uniformly distributed throughout the ciphertext. (Source: Jarlve)
The '+' symbol does not seem to cycle well with other symbols.
A tiny 'R' is written at the bottom right corner of the page. Similarly, information is written at the bottom right corner of a section of the 408, and the bottom right corner of the letter containing the map code.
Cycles of length 2 are biased towards odd-numbered positions in the cipher text
The 340 has 9 rows that each have no repeated symbols. By comparison, the 408 has 6. Moreover, in the 340, there are two triplets of rows that show symmetry about the vertical midpoint of the cipher text. (Image of row repeat comparisons)
A forward-K appears to be scratched out, and corrected with a backwards K symbol.
From Scott Akin: All occurrences of the "H" symbol are involved with this observation: Consider the rectangular regions formed by the corners highlighted in this illustration. Each region is exactly 80 characters in size (4x20 and 5x16), and there is symmetry to the corner symbols.
Largo's test finds that this often occurs by chance, even with random text.
From "Hayley25": Zodiac's "bus bomb letter" contains a section he highlighted which, when punctuation and spaces are removed, contains exactly 340 letters.

There are not many green areas within the Inner City or the Old City of Peshawar so this place is a welcome relief for the inhabitants living nearby. This is one of the very few open breathing spaces here.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gor_Khuttree
History
Gor Khuttree (or Gor Khatri) in the ancient city of Peshawar was identified by Sir Alexander Cunningham with Kanishka Vihara (the Great Stupa of King Kanishka) while Professor Dr Ahmad Hasan Dani identified it with the place where the famous tower of the Buddha bowl once stood.
Prof. S.M. Jaffar, in his monumental book "Peshawar: Past and Present", identified it with the place of Hindu pilgrimage where they performed the Sardukahr ritual (shaving off heads).
The celebrated Chinese pilgrim, Hiuen Tsang, who visited Gandhara in the early 7th Century CE, had paid glowing tribute to the city and the Great Stupa of Kanishka in his memoirs. He also talked about a site, which many historians argue refers to Gor Khuttree where "Buddah's giant bowl was kept".
Mughal Emperor Babar, who recorded its importance in his autobiography, visited the place.
We had heard stories about Gor Khatri, a holy place of the yogis and Hindus who came from long distances for pilgrimage and got their head and beards shaved there. At once I headed for Bigram (or present day Peshawar, saw its famed, ancient tree and surrounding countryside.
But much as we enquired about Gor Khatri, our guide Kamari said nothing about it. However when we were almost back in our camp, he told Khwaja Muhammad Amin that Gor Khatri was in Bigram and that he had said nothing because of its confined cells and narrow passages. Khwaja Amin repeated his words to us. But we could not go back because the road was long and the day was spent.[1]
Jehan Ara Begum, the daughter of Mughal Emperor Shah Jehan, converted Gor Khuttree into a caravanserai and named it Sarai Jahanabad. She also constructed a Jama Masjid, a sauna bath and two wells inside Sarai Jahanabad for the convenience of travellers.
The Sikhs converted the site into the residence and official headquarters of their mercenary general Paolo Avitabile who was governor of Peshawar from 1838-1842. They constructed a Hindu temple for Shiva there.
Gor Khuttree is a typical Mughal-era serai and is located on one of the highest points of Peshawar City. It is a fortified compound consisting of an area of 160 x 160 sq meters. It has two prominent gateways: one in the east and one in the west. The Gorakshanath Temple is situated in the centre, a network of cells and buildings in the southern and western side of the complex and a fire brigade building, which was built in 1917.
Dr. Farzand Ali Durrani initiated the first vertical excavations at Gor Guthrree in 1992-93 but his excavation work could not be completed due to lack of funds. However, he confirmed the city foundation went back to at least the 3rd Century BC.
The second round of excavations carried on until 2007 in the north eastern aspect of Gor Khuttree pushed Peshawar's age by another couple of centuries, officially making it the oldest living city in South Asia.
Excavation work on the site is currently suspended owing to shortage of funds.

Jehan Ara Begum, the daughter of Mughal Emperor Shah Jehan, converted Gor Khuttree into a caravanserai and named it Sarai Jahanabad. She also constructed a Jama Masjid, a sauna bath and two wells inside Sarai Jahanabad for the convenience of travellers.
The Sikhs converted the site into the residence and official headquarters of their mercenary general Paolo Avitabile who was governor of Peshawar from 1838-1842. They constructed a Hindu temple for Shiva there.
Gor Khuttree is a typical Mughal-era serai and is located on one of the highest points of Peshawar City. It is a fortified compound consisting of an area of 160 x 160 sq meters. It has two prominent gateways: one in the east and one in the west. The Gorakshanath Temple is situated in the centre, a network of cells and buildings in the southern and western side of the complex and a fire brigade building, which was built in 1917.
Dr. Farzand Ali Durrani initiated the first vertical excavations at Gor Guthrree in 1992-93 but his excavation work could not be completed due to lack of funds. However, he confirmed the city foundation went back to at least the 3rd Century BC.
The second round of excavations carried on until 2007 in the north eastern aspect of Gor Khuttree pushed Peshawar's age by another couple of centuries, officially making it the oldest living city in South Asia.
Excavation work on the site is currently suspended owing to shortage of funds.

History
Gor Khuttree (or Gor Khatri) in the ancient city of Peshawar was identified by Sir Alexander Cunningham with Kanishka Vihara (the Great Stupa of King Kanishka) while Professor Dr Ahmad Hasan Dani identified it with the place where the famous tower of the Buddha bowl once stood.
Prof. S.M. Jaffar, in his monumental book "Peshawar: Past and Present", identified it with the place of Hindu pilgrimage where they performed the Sardukahr ritual (shaving off heads).
The celebrated Chinese pilgrim, Hiuen Tsang, who visited Gandhara in the early 7th Century CE, had paid glowing tribute to the city and the Great Stupa of Kanishka in his memoirs. He also talked about a site, which many historians argue refers to Gor Khuttree where "Buddah's giant bowl was kept".
Mughal Emperor Babar, who recorded its importance in his autobiography, visited the place.
We had heard stories about Gor Khatri, a holy place of the yogis and Hindus who came from long distances for pilgrimage and got their head and beards shaved there. At once I headed for Bigram (or present day Peshawar, saw its famed, ancient tree and surrounding countryside.
But much as we enquired about Gor Khatri, our guide Kamari said nothing about it. However when we were almost back in our camp, he told Khwaja Muhammad Amin that Gor Khatri was in Bigram and that he had said nothing because of its confined cells and narrow passages. Khwaja Amin repeated his words to us. But we could not go back because the road was long and the day was spent.[1]

**************************
HISTORICAL INFO
- From Wikipedia:-
"The Big Merino is a 15.2 metres (50 ft) tall concrete merino ram, located in Goulburn, New South Wales, Australia. Nicknamed "Rambo" by locals, the Big Merino contains a gift shop on the ground floor and a wool display on the second floor. Visitors can climb to the top and look out through the Merino's eyes to view the local area.
The Big Merino was officially opened on 20 September 1985. In 1992, the Hume Highway bypassed Goulburn, which resulted in a loss of 40 busloads of tourists to the Big Merino complex per day. On 26 May 2007, the Big Merino was moved to a location closer to the Hume Highway to increase visitor numbers, and is now located near the freeway interchange at a service station."

A reimagining of an old character I had built way back in 2015. Since the moment I lay eyes on the kanohi Iden I've always pictured it belonging to an elegant, gentlemanly-looking character. wanted to make this redcoat aesthetic work. Safe to say I managed to pull this off? I'll let you all be the judge of that!

Written originally in Chaghatay Turkish and later translated into Persian, Bāburnāmah is the story of a Timurid ruler of Fergana (Central Asia), Ẓahīr al-Dīn Muḥammad Bābur (866 AH /1483 CE - 937 AH / 1530 CE), who conquered northern India and established the Mughal Empire. The present codex, being a fragment of a dispersed copy, was executed most probably in the late 10th AH /16th CE century. It contains 30 mostly full-page miniatures in fine Mughal style by at least two different artists. Another major fragment of this work (57 folios) is in the State Museum of Eastern Cultures, Moscow.

This big Barbary sheep ram is making his way on the herd's daily route from one place to another place. At first, I thought that the some of the ewes might be ram, but then I saw this guy and there was no doubt. He looks around 300+ pounds to me.
Look at the long hair on the nape and legs. Looks like he's got Ugg boots.
