In the twilight of their service, US Air Force Reserve Command's Lockheed C-141B Starlifter 66-0134 departs RAF Mildenhall just days before the outbreak of the 2nd Gulf War
In the background, an F-15 Eagle from the 48thFW at nearby RAF Lakenheath turns base leg to recover there
Quite often when on Easterly landings and when Mildenhall is less busy, F-15's will directly overfly on long finals for Lakenheath which is located only some 5 miles to the North
Intriguingly the main Runway headings conflict with Mildenhall on 11/29 and Lakenheath on 06/24
The 'Lifter' was with the 445th AW at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio

Sno Castle is a historic fortress located in the village of Sno, near Stepantsminda in the Kazbegi region of Georgia. Nestled in the impressive Caucasus Mountains, the castle is a symbol of the medieval architecture and history of the region. Sno Castle is estimated to have been built between the 16th and 17th centuries. It served as a defensive stronghold for the local nobility and was strategically positioned to guard the Sno Valley from raids by northern tribes and other threats. The architectural style reflects typical Georgian fortifications, with stone towers and thick defensive walls. The castle consists of a central tower also called koshki, surrounded by the remains of additional defensive structures. These towers were essential in the Caucasus and often served as residences, watchtowers and shelters during conflicts. From the castle, you have a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains and valleys, which further emphasizes its strategic location. In addition to its military role, Sno Castle also has cultural and spiritual value. Nearby is the famous Stone Head of Sno, a large stone carving believed to represent a local deity or historical figure. This mysterious carving attracts both tourists and historians.

Sno Kasteel is een historisch fort gelegen in het dorp Sno, vlakbij Stepantsminda in de regio Kazbegi, Georgië. Genesteld in de indrukwekkende Kaukasus, staat het kasteel symbool voor de middeleeuwse architectuur en geschiedenis van de regio. Het kasteel van Sno wordt geschat te zijn gebouwd tussen de 16e en 17e eeuw. Het diende als een verdedigingsbolwerk voor de lokale adel en was strategisch gepositioneerd om de Sno-vallei te bewaken tegen invallen van noordelijke stammen en andere dreigingen. De bouwstijl weerspiegelt typische Georgische fortificaties, met stenen torens en dikke verdedigingsmuren. Het kasteel bestaat uit een centrale toren ook wel koshki genoemd, omgeven door overblijfselen van extra verdedigingswerken. Deze torens waren essentieel in de Kaukasus en dienden vaak als woningen, uitkijktorens en schuilplaatsen tijdens conflicten. Vanaf het kasteel heb je een panoramisch uitzicht over de omliggende bergen en valleien, wat de strategische ligging nog eens benadrukt. Naast zijn militaire rol heeft Sno Kasteel ook culturele en spirituele waarde. In de nabijheid bevindt zich het beroemde Steenhoofd van Sno, een groot stenen beeldhouwwerk waarvan wordt aangenomen dat het een lokale godheid of historische figuur voorstelt. Deze mysterieuze gravure trekt zowel toeristen als historici aan.

"I'm a paradox. I want to be happy, but I think of things that make me sad. I'm lazy, yet ambitious. I don't generally like myself, but I also love who I am. I say I don't care, but I really do. I crave attention, but reject it when it comes my way. I'm a conflicted contradiction. If I can't figure myself out, there's no way anyone else has either." -Unknown.

I figured I'd switch it up today, and post some new imagery. I usually let stuff sit a bit before I post but today I felt like seeing some green since spring is amongst us.
What I find intersting about this particular scene is that you have a combination of vibrant spring greens, with snowy foothills/mountains in the background. It's like mother nature was confused at the time. The conditions make for a unique scene with special conditons.
Special thanks to my buddy JoJo B. for being my tour guide. Thanks man, much appreciated.
Day Seventy-One: February 21st, 2007.
Suffering from conflicting thoughts. I'm awakened by a dream at 4:00am. A dream about someone I shouldn't really be dreaming about. I don't know why I am. Especially now.
I guess I've been having conflicting thoughts about her lately but I haven't said anything. Because I know she's clear in her thinking. And I have the sneaky suspicion that the thoughts I'm having are more about me just being lonely than anything else. So it probably really isn't about her. Probably.
Conversations with friends later on cement it in my head. They are just passing thoughts and they'll go away. It's not worth pursuing or mentioning.
Good.
Potential mistake averted.
Roll over.
Go back to sleep.

One last F.U. to the teachers, students, and taxpayers before the lame duck, ousted, extremist, moms of liberty school board slithers into hell.
Excuse me sir, but does this sign mean I'm not allowed on your side of this fence.
I'm hearing what you're saying little buddy, but rest assured the grass is the same color on this side as it is on your side. And if you do cross over to this side i may have to take you home as a pet.
Interesting to see so much conflict when there seemed to be many salmon around. The social dynamic around the Bald Eagles at a Salmon run are hard to understand.
" Whether it is conflict or sorrow or grief or anxiety or self-pity, I cannot bury pain without mortgaging something else to keep it hidden. In the end, I live life "shunting back and forth between my pain and my defenses." -Merle Shain
Thanks for visiting, have a good week, be safe, healthy and hopeful.
An exhibition at the Tate Modern. Works by artists and photographers from mid 19th C to the present. Looking back at moments of conflict. Photos taken days, weeks, months, years after the conflict.
A good start for a new 2022 year! A bit nostalgic build, because it's actually an updated version of one MOC of mine originally builded for a Megabricks Festival (Moscow, Russia) back in 2015. Unfortunally I never had a chance to take a good shot of that model, so in the end of 2021 I decided to build a remake of it from scratch. So, here is a result!
