These are very difficult days, the arsonists have caused immense damage, thanks to the firefighters for their great work.
The building in the centre, of course. The Fire Brigade in my village is a voluntary organisation - and it really is in (!) the village, ready on shortest notice. Many other essential institutions are not. For example, the next police station is many miles away. So is the nearest bank etc. Somehow, we do manage nevertheless. This is a civilised place.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FAVES
ON THE REACTIONS I WILL TRY TO RESPOND BACK
De adelaar is ruim 9 meter hoog en is gemaakt van grof gehouwen stenen. Het is een ontwerp van architect en beeldhouwer Erwin Friedrich Baumann uit Faulensee.
Deze stenen adelaar (Simplon Adler) op de Simplonpass werd tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog ontworpen en gebouwd door Zwitserse soldaten. De adelaar kijkt richting Italië.
Als symbool van de waakzaamheid werd het beeld in het leven geroepen ter herdenking aan de "Wacht op de Simplon" tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog 1940-1945.
Op het monument staat de volgende tekst:
"In de vrijheid van de bergen staat het, een groot memorial van hard graniet:
een memorial van trouwe plichtvervoer, een blijvende herinnering om bereid te zijn en ontwaakt voor onze vrijheid"

The eagle is over 9 meters tall and is made of roughly hewn stone. It was designed by architect and sculptor Erwin Friedrich Baumann from Faulensee.
This stone eagle (Simplon Adler) on the Simplon Pass was designed and built by Swiss soldiers during World War II. The eagle looks towards Italy.
As a symbol of vigilance, the statue was created to commemorate the "Guard on the Simplon" during World War II (1940-1945).
The following text is inscribed on the monument:
"In the freedom of the mountains it stands, a large memorial of hard granite:
a memorial of faithful service, a lasting reminder to be prepared and awake for our freedom."
One of my favourite parts of photography is taking pictures of people out in the streets, I like to see how many people make eye contact, there are many, and this picture is no exception. This group of people appeared from nowhere and believe it or not I did not see them arrive, when the next train came along and went they had all disappeared, as if by magic. Taken on Baker Street underground station, London, on a Flickr meet up day with like-minded photographers....!
The fireman obvious came to check out the beach. We were standing on one side of the road looking at the yellow-tailed black cockatoos when the fire engine drove between us.
Red Rebel Brigade symbolises the common blood we share with all species,
That unifies us and makes us one.
As such we move as one, act as one and more importantly feel as one.
We are unity and we empathise with our surroundings, we are forgiving
We are sympathetic and humble, compassionate and understanding,
We divert, distract, delight and inspire the people who watch us,
We illuminate the magic realm beneath the surface of all things and we invite people to enter in, we make a bubble and calm the storm, we are peace in the midst of war.
We are who the people have forgotten to be!
Red Rebel Brigade was devised by Doug Francisco and Justine Squire from Bristol’s Invisible Circus for the Extinction Rebellion Spring uprising April 2019 in London

I have been chasing a screech owl around a certain park in Bucks County for over a week, and my pictures look like rorschach tests. Luckily, a month ago I took this shot in NJ as part of a photo workshop I'll be posting more about in the coming days. Saludos everyone!

The donkey brigade getting ready to go downhill. The commander-in-chief (our mother) giving final instructions. It was a hot summer day, which is why most of us were shirtless. This was around 1950.

A 1940 registered Leyland fire engine marked up as from the Blackpool Fire Brigade. This had been at a recent country show and happened to leave at the same time that I was. I 'raced' ahead, parked up and waited for it to pass and took a few photos of it running and not just sat in a field as I had earlier in the afternoon.

This is my photo of the day for my trip a run the sun
This is a Fallschirmjäger from the Ramcke Parachute Brigade. This brigade fought in North Africa alongside the rest of the Afrika Korps.
A new and improved version of my Sledger powersuit that I built a while ago. It now properly fits a minifig inside, but still has the excessive weight issues of the original, unfortunately.
Compared to my original attempt, this version of the Sledger is based off of the player variant, and is armed with a 30mm König gatling autocannon. The Sledger is arguably the most excessive powersuit in all of Brigador, and it remains one of my personal favorite mech designs of all time.
As always, reference images and other info for the Sledger can be found in the Brigador wiki.
This photo is dedicated to all the valiant men and women who fought and gave their lives on the battlegrounds of freedom. We are eternally grateful for them and the ultimate price they paid that we may enjoy the fruits of peace and live in this great, free country, the United States of America. May their souls rest in Heaven and God bless their families and loved ones left behind. Salute!

Haws brightening our bare November hedges.
Hawthorn has a host of uses, best is as wild bird food.
