On my way to evening walk. Suddenly found the Eye catching colours of the Sky. Captured in my mobile.
Passing Killington lake this evening the lake was like a mirrow so I had to stop to see what I could capture. The sky was plain grey and the light was going fast but I had to try and with a little help from Lightroom this is what I got. The eye of the serpent is Killington services.

At The Tank Museum, Bovington, Dorset, England, United Kingdom, on Friday 23rd June 2023.
About the photograph.
On the left side of the photo, are two of the re-enactors dressed up as Second World War American soldiers, often nicknamed as GIs. There is also another re-enactor dressed as a GI, barely noticeable behind many of the guys seen on the right side of the photo.
The two on the left are seen carrying Thompson M1928A1 submachine guns, while the third one is almost hidden, therefore difficult to see what weapons he got.
The guys who are holding up their hands, are re-enactors dressed up as Second World War German soldiers. A common popular belief is that they’re called the Wehrmacht, but this is partial true.
Wehrmacht is a German word made up of wehren meaning “to defend” and Macht meaning “power or force” thus imply the meaning of “armed forces.”
Britische Wehrmacht mean British Armed Forces, therefore the German Wehrmacht would mean the whole of the German armed forces, therefore the whole of the German military.
They are correctly referred as the Heer, a German word meaning Army. A Heer soldier, or in German language (as far as I know) a Heer soldat.
The Wehrmacht is made up of the Heer (Army), the Kriegsmarine (navy), and the Luftwaffe (air force).
The action they are carrying out, is a re-enactment of the Americans capturing a group of German soldiers whom have surrendered.
In the far background, near the top of the photo, are what looked like three of the Tank Museum’s own staff, doing filming of the re-enactment action.
The photograph was shot in colour, but I converted it to black and white in Adobe Lightroom and cropped for a more dramatic action, and as homage to the WWII era where black and white photos are more common than colour photos.
About TANKFEST and The Tank Museum.
The Tank Museum is found next to the British Army military base, simply called Bovington Camp, and is used by various tank regiments.
The writer Rudyard Kipling once visited Bovington in 1923, and saw some damaged tanks left from the First World War. He recommended that a museum should be set up.
However the museum was simply a shed, and was not open to the public until about 1947, when the museum was finally set up.
By about 1982, the museum was expanded and modernized, it housed many various different tanks in the Exhibition halls, along with working tanks which are often show in the live action arena.
The museum also has the only working German Tiger I tank, known as Tiger 131.
TANKFEST is an annual live action re-enactment event showing off various working tanks in staged display, in the museum’s showground known as Kuwait Arena.

A pretty nice way to use up old glass bottle bottoms.
The ol' laptop is heading back to the shop—one of the libraries (my photo library, HURRAH!) decided to corrupt itself. Crossing my fingers that she'll come back improved and fully functioning. In the meantime...see you soon!

I'm captured and bound but I'm not complaining one bit....lol. I think i may enjoy it. A change of scenery is always good some days. Thanks to Cheeky, the accessories and shoes wasn't hard to find to fit the look. I went to the D23 Event and stopped by the Cheeky booth and found the exact items I was looking for. Cheeky released the Eye Mask! and Bound Legs! that are at D23 that I couldn't pass up. I knew I had to get them. Then I had to hit up Whore Courture Fair 8 before it ended to get the Jella Extreme High Heels! which brought the look to a whole new level. Ladies, If you're looking for THAT look, make sure you hit these events up and stop by the Cheeky booths!!!!!!!!!!! As always, happy shopping ladies☺

I recently saw a composite image where someone photoshopped the moon inside of a glass ball. The concept was very inspiring, I thought I might try it in a single capture. Started with 400mm lens on the moon, then mid-capture lens change to 24mm and on to tripod 2 for my hands holding the glass ball, lit with a quick flash of light through a beauty dish.

The glow of Canary Wharf sets the perfect backdrop for quiet street photography experiments. Testing a star 8 filter to add a little extra magic to the scene. ✨
