Lacking creativity and motivation? Need a photo of the day? Oooh Socko!
My not so always willing model; he's mastered sit and today he was trying to get past me to get to the cat toys that sit up above his reach but just close enough that he can sniff.
I held my ground and managed a shot of him. Whew, photo done!
Hope everyone has had a good day.

This monument is located in Gettysburg National Park (U.S.), and is dedicated to the Pennsylvania Cavalry.
The Columbian Land Corps has a rich history of using elephants in warfare, to the point that when other countries started to toss around such big words as "modernization" and "practicality," Columbia took the shiny new technology and strapped it to the back of an elephant. To be fair, though, elephants are much better suited than any vehicle for the thick jungles of Columbia.

I don't often upload my astrophotography images, mainly because I'm a bit of a beginner and I've only been doing it for the last couple of years. In reality, that's probably less than 6 months due to the Northern Irish weather! Every now and again, I'll try and upload something space-related if you want. This shot was just under 3 hours of exposure time.
If anyone needs some online lessons in deep space photography, I can give them. I know the learning curve is pretty steep!

Title is such because I immediately envisioned a charging horse is this image... hope I'm not the only one!
“Our officers of cavalry have acquired a trick of galloping at everything. They never consider the situation, never think of manoeuvring before an enemy, and never keep back or provide a reserve.”
—Arthur Wellesley, the Duke of Wellington
The Charge of the Scots Greys at the Battle of Waterloo (as part of the greater charge of the British Heavy cavalry) on June 18, 1815, is one of the most famous in history. Initially in reserve for the battle, commanding officer Lt-Colonel James Hamilton ordered their charge on his own responsibility when he observed British infantry units beginning to fall back under the weight of the attacking French D'Erlon's Corps. Overall, the attack helped turn the tide in favor of the British and caused D’Erlon's attack to fail, but in what followed was a tragedy as the entire British calvary then charged forward towards the main French line. Having taken casualties, disorganized and their horses blown out, the Scots Greys and the rest of the Heavy Cavalry found themselves before the main French lines, were then raked by artillery and then surprised by a French counter-attack by their Polish lancers. The remnants retreated to the British lines, harried by the lancers. They eventually reformed, supporting the rest of the British line as best they could with carbine fire. In all, the Scots Greys suffered 104 dead, 97 wounded and 228 of their 416 horses killed. When they were finally reformed, the Scots Greys could only field two weakened squadrons, rather than the three complete ones with which they had begun the day.

My first MOC of 2015, and one of several for the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo, 1815.
This is as close to the original painting, (done in 1881 by Lady Butler), as I think you can get, if I do say so myself. This is the full MOC. Hope you all like it! :)
Desert Chariots:
During the height of the reign of the ancient empire of man, the tactics that they employed in battle were unsurpassed, allowing them to sweep over their enemies like the shifting sands over desert bones. One of these tactics was the use of the chariot. Never before seen, the chariot was a revolutionary way to wage war on a destructive scale. The rare and highly valued horses were hitched to wheeled platforms that could traverse the battlefield at unimaginable speeds, outflanking and out fighting the enemy at every point on the field of battle.
When the Pharaohs awoke from their dark tombs and towering pyramids, the first units they employed to retake their old domains were chariots. Now pulled by daunting skeletal steeds and driven by elite veterans of the skeletal legions, the chariots are one of the most crucial aspects of the Desert Ancients battlefield prowess.
Able to outmatch regular cavalry in head to head combat and able to scythe through even the most elite infantry like a knife through sand, the chariots are a terror on the hot desert plains. Two skeleton veterans operate the structures of death, each one a towering visage of their impressive physical size and battlefield skill in life, now in undeath.
They wield ancient and impressive spears that are able to reach out and impale the foe on the razor sharp edges. One of the most impressive creations of man, the chariot is still feared among foes to this day.
I was fortunate to be a part of a gun crew firing a 6lb cannon at the Waterloo 2015 Bicentenary battle re-enactments in Belgium.........and managed to fill many SD cards!

During the Roman Kingdom and early Republic the Roman cavalry were made up of the absolute richest citizens, the equities. They owned and trained their own horse and bought their equipment. They had helmets, round shield, greaves and cuirass. By 150 BC they were supposed the wear mail.
With the decreasing wealth amongst the Romans the Marian reform came. Sources state that each legion had 120 Roman cavalry.
By the time of Caesar it seems to only have been allied cavalry, he never mentions Roman cavalry.
Augustus introduced the system with Auxiliaries. Now non-roman citizens could join the army, be paid 80% of the legionnaires salary and after a certain time receive citizenship and land.
With the expense of cavalry it was a duty given to auxiliaries. The cavalry received 20% more than the legionnaires, however they provided their own horse.
Just like the legionnaires the auxiliary received equipment and training from the Roman army.
The best cavalry came from Numibia, Germania, Gaul, Thracia and Iberia.

Here's my Germanian Auxiliary cavalry. They have Lorica Squamata, attic helmets, spear or Spathas (longer galdius) and round shields.
The commander has a Lorica musculata and a Gallic helmet with a facial mask like the one found at Kalkriese (Teutoberg). He also has a blue mantle, Spatha and a Parma shield.
Ready to protect the Roman flank!

Hope you'll like them!
