She is a true fighter, she was not born strong, she was made strong. She was sculpted to be her own hero when the world lets her down.

The campanula is originally a mountain plant. It is therefore not surprising that this plant does well between the stones. The flowers are also called bellflowers. They owe this name to the bell shape. The flowers bloom in many different colors, including white, pink, purple and blue. The campanula brightens up the stones completely with its flowers in these beautiful colors and therefore also works well as a filler between stones and pavement.

Around 4:55 AM, FEC 103 wakes up the town of Saint Augustine with the ambience of EMD 645's screaming throughout the marsh. With the chance of 103 having EMD leaders being very common at the time, little did I know with GE's starting to take over the 103/204 trains. I took my opportunity to shoot 103 twice in the span of a week, with both times having Champion schemed SD40's leading.
Both times of chasing 103 would consist of chasing all the way from Northend Bayard down to New Smyrna Beach, having either minutes or seconds to setup at spots along the way.
FEC 109 passes the searchlights guarding the south end of Port Sewall on a warm March morning. The searchlight's in this photo are on borrowed time as they could be gone within the next few months or a year from now.
With all that is happening in the world right now, It seemed important to share this photograph of this tree, located along a Humboldt County backroad, it is the largest single Bigleaf Maple I've ever seen, yet I've never been able to take a photograph that engages with this fact: like giant trees in general, the sense of scale remains difficult to portray.
So let us just wonder at this tree, in place for a dozen decades in the same soil hollow on this well-watered ridge, giving shelter to cows and other animals and the occasional human that ends up under there, enjoying the smell of soil and the shadows on their face. Not a bad thing. Long may you live. And you too.

Last night Burnley beat Sheffield United 2-0 at Turf Moor, Burnley.
We were already promoted to the Premier league with 7 games to go, now itâs a case of becoming champions.
I put a ÂŁ10 bet on at the beginning of the season that Burnley would win the league. The odds were 9:1 .
Iâve been watching the cashout since the start of the season. It currently stands at ÂŁ93.20; of course Iâll wait for the full ÂŁ100 đ

Congratulations to Paris for winning the World Cup! I have never experienced such energy before in my life and, what I love most about it is how it brings people together. I've been thinking quite a lot about the politics between the two countries. Neither is perfect but I don't think France would have ever allowed for the horror of Trump to take place and when our talented athletes protest like Colin Kaepernick did, there is a backlash instead of a celebration. I don't think that would happen in France because, at least from what I experienced, people of all races are seen with more respect. I loved seeing how diverse the French team was and the energy of the streets. It was one of those surreal events that I will probably always remember...like are there actually people on top of the Arc de Triomphe?!? Yes, there were.
I am finally back from what was the most bipolar energetic vacation I ever went on. I had to fly back to Paris from Lisbon for my return trip to Chicago and on Sunday in the midst of all of this energy, I find out my flight through Air France has been cancelled. I spend 20 hours between airports between connecting flights, delays, lust luggage-you name it. Everything that could have gone wrong did go wrong when Air France cancelled our flight with less than 10 hours notice and without a replacement flight until Thursday.
So, I hope that in a few years, I remember these moments of extreme joy and happiness and maybe not so much the last 24 hours of traveling hell. Oh, and I just found out that the airline for the connecting flight found my bag so...things are looking up.

Félicitations à Paris pour avoir remporté la Coupe du Monde! Je n'ai jamais expérimenté une telle énergie auparavant dans ma vie et, ce que j'aime le plus, c'est comment elle rassemble les gens. J'ai beaucoup réfléchi à la politique entre les deux pays. Ni l'un ni l'autre n'est parfait, mais je ne pense pas que la France aurait jamais permis à l'horreur de Trump de se produire et quand nos athlÚtes talentueux protestent comme Colin Kaepernick, il y a une réaction au lieu d'une célébration. Je ne pense pas que cela se produirait en France parce que, du moins d'aprÚs ce que j'ai vécu, les gens de toutes les races sont vus avec plus de respect. J'ai aimé voir à quel point l'équipe française était diversifiée et l'énergie des rues. C'était un de ces événements surréalistes dont je me souviendrai toujours ... comme s'il y avait des gens au sommet de l'Arc de Triomphe?!? Oui il y en avait.
Je suis enfin de retour de ce qui a été le plus énergique des vacances bipolaires. J'ai dû retourner à Paris de Lisbonne pour mon voyage de retour à Chicago et dimanche au milieu de toute cette énergie, je découvre que mon vol à travers Air France a été annulé. Je passe 20 heures entre les aéroports entre les vols de correspondance, les retards, les bagages de luxure, vous le nommez. Tout ce qui aurait pu mal se passer a mal tourné quand Air France a annulé son vol avec moins de 10 heures de préavis et sans un vol de remplacement jusqu'à jeudi.
Donc, j'espĂšre que dans quelques annĂ©es, je me souviendrai de ces moments de joie et de bonheur extrĂȘmes et peut-ĂȘtre pas tellement les derniĂšres 24 heures de voyage en enfer. Oh, et je viens de dĂ©couvrir que la compagnie aĂ©rienne pour le vol de correspondance a trouvĂ© mon sac alors ... les choses se lĂšvent.

A replica of the Borghese Warrior sculpture is one of many sculptures that is on display in the Saint Armands Circle area of Sarasota, Florida. I thought that this PoV captured a compelling pose of a champion. I'll be posting a few other shots, with more traditional composition, in the future.
The Borghese Gladiator is a Hellenistic lifesize marble sculpture actually portraying a swordsman, created at Ephesus about 100 BCE. It is signed on the pedestal by Agasias, son of Dositheus.
It was found circa 1611, at Nettuno south of Rome, among the ruins of a seaside palace of Nero on the site of the ancient Antium. From the attitude of the figure it is clear that the statue represents not a gladiator, but a warrior contendÂing with a mounted combatant.
The sculpture was added to the Borghese collection in Rome. Camillo Borghese was pressured to sell it to his brother-in-law, Napoleon Bonaparte, in 1807; it was taken to Paris when the Borghese collection was acquired for the Louvre, where it now resides. [wiki]

The man who appears soldering in this image is a Syrian discus champion !!! He dreamed of the Rio Olympics and had the level to go to ... Instead he ended up in a Refugee camp in Northern Greece, with no rights or freedom ... The continuous solidarity of the people who have flocked to these refugee camps have made possible some small miracles. One of them was building a gym for all ... Qusai started soldering an iron, then another, then another ... And he got it.

This build was heavily inspired by The Champions Retreat from "Forge of Empires". I took lots of artistic freedom to make it fit my aesthetic.
Sorry for the huge break between MOCs. Work and University have been taking up a great deal of my time.

Burnley FC won the league title last night đ
Weâd won promotion back to the Premier league on 7th April; but winning this game gave us the title last night.
Extra special too because the game was at our bitter local rivals stadium, Ewood Park, the home of Blackburn Rovers.
Vincent Kompany (Burnley head coach) said:
"There's two awards you win this season which is promotion and the league, then there's two more trophies to win which are your derbies, and we've won all four this season. I know what it means and I don't know if the players realise it yet but I know what those games have meant for me in my career."
The fans know what all four mean!!
Itâs been a brilliant season, two games to go as well.
Blackburn gave Burnley just 2000 tickets for a stand that holds over 7000. Theyâre very bitter.
The tickets for Burnley fans were therefore by ballot⊠I wasnât lucky. So I didnât go to the game. This is a photo of the celebrations after the game from our TV.
Super Burnley!
