What enemy?
The one hidden in Lassie’s fur!
I found some wounds in her skin…and the vet told me it was the grass!
Those horrible golden things….
They go inside, deeper and deeper in the fur and they go even forward in the skin!
Ah! Malefic vegetal enemy!
Even worse than an animal one !
And I always groom Las but I found those by chance!
Candy seems safe…still…
But how can I avoid the fields?
Where should I go then?
No beach, no country…
I’ll do a better grooming… but…the fields call!
Have a good day my friends!
This build have been long in the making, a very kind fellow LUG member gave me all these octupuses. I made the wings in the begining of the pandemic and then this spring started to build the dragon.
The story in the build is that the dragon turns into a woman called Lunentia every full moon. She met and fell in love with the village blacksmith, Arnt and the villagers is not happy about this. They have hired outside help who have promised to exterminate the dragon. Behind the dragon there is a temple, some women have started to worship Lunentia. There is also som theives who are trying to steal the dragon´s treasure.
Many thanks to my husband who have helped me with getting the wings to move.
“The greatest challenge for me is to keep improving every aspect of the compositions and arrangements,” says ARCH ENEMY founder/guitarist Michael Amott about new album, War Eternal. “I’m always searching for ‘the perfect ARCH ENEMY song.’ When I started the band in 1995 I had the idea to create the most heavy melodic band of all time.”
And he did. Over the course of 19 years, ARCH ENEMY, under Amott’s guidance, crafted 10 acclaimed full-lengths, dominated sales charts, and toured the globe. If Amott were a smart man, he’d retire now to some tropical island with his favorite Michael Schenker records in tow and the setting sun on his face. But neither he nor ARCH ENEMY are done. Not by a long shot.
With vocalist Alissa White-Gluz replacing long-time frontwoman Angela Gossow in 2014 respectively, War Eternal is ARCH ENEMY reborn. “Changes in the band lineup are hardly ever looked upon favorably by the fans,” Amott acknowledges, “which I completely understand. Nonetheless, it does happen and the changes that have been made in the ARCH ENEMY camp were necessary in order for the band to survive and keep going. I love the energy of working with new people and Alissa has certainly brought a lot of talent and enthusiasm to the band!”
When Amott recruited Angela Gossow to front ARCH ENEMY for the Wages of Sin effort, he changed extreme metal forever. With White-Gluz, he has a new weapon. She’s a veritable firebrand on War Eternal, her unrelenting roar, cruel rasp and unique looks are the mark of a woman ready to conquer the world. “My goal is to keep ARCH ENEMY alive and thriving!” White-Gluz exclaims. “I want to open a whole new chapter for ARCH ENEMY, powerful and diverse, all the while respecting the legions of fans that love traditional ARCH ENEMY. Fans can expect loads of pure fucking metal.”
At 13 tracks, War Eternal is the quintessential ARCH ENEMY album. It’s both a nostalgic nod to the band’s past (“Never Forgive, Never Forget”, “No More Regrets”) and stunning example of what’s possible in the future (“Down to Nothing”, “Time is Black”). But if there’s a standout track—a spearhead—it’s the title song. Unveiled to the world on Youtube, “War Eternal” marches defiantly against the mundane, two raised fists to the constraints of society and the cage it desperately tries to put on us all. In it, White-Gluz proves she’s the next generation of great, while Amott and the rest of ARCH ENEMY play as if ”War Eternal” is their last song. That ”War Eternal” amassed an astonishing 1.5 million views the first 10 days is telling of its conviction and power. “There are a lot of details in this album that excite me as a songwriter and guitarist,” Amott grins. “Personally, I’ve pushed myself harder as player on War Eternal and feel I’ve gone to another level this time, which is very rewarding. I actually think the whole band has kicked everything up a notch or two.”
Produced by the band and mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren (Opeth, Paradise Lost) at Fascination Street Studio, the Swedes’ 10th full-length is unrelentingly brutal yet remarkably polished. “We could afford any big name producer at this stage in the game,” says Amott. “Having the band produce the album was a natural and logical way of working for us at this point. It was critical that we bring out the true ARCH ENEMY sound, the essence of the band on this record and who knows that better than us? Jens Bogren did an outstanding mixing and mastering the album. It was my first time working with him and I am more than impressed with his talent.”
The album was hailed as “Album Of The Month” in Terrorizer (UK), Powerplay (UK), Metal Hammer (Germany), Rock Hard (France), Metallian (France), Scream (Norway), Sweden Rock (Sweden) and got more than positive reviews all over the world; additionally, War Eternal achieved career-best chart positions for the band in the USA (#44), Germany (#9), Finland (#5), France (#56), and The Netherlands (#36), plus the best UK chart entry (#85) since Doomsday Machine (#81). ARCH ENEMY were also honored to appear on the front covers of Revolver (USA), Legacy (Germany), Rock Hard (France), Inferno (Finland), Up (Netherlands), Aardschok (Netherlands), Metal Maniac (Italy),Pro Rock (Bulgaria), Into The Pit (Thailand) and many more magazines.
Right after the release of War Eternal, the band kicked off their eternal touring with sublime festival shows at Wacken, Sweden Rock and many more, followed by a world tour with Kreator (with whom they released a split 7” single later in October 2014).
During the USA headline tour with Kreator, the band decided to part ways with guitarist Nick Cordle.
Christopher Amott (the brother of ARCH ENEMY founder/bandleader Michael Amott) joined the band for the remainder of their American headlining tour and Jeff Loomis (ex-Nevermore) stepped in for the following European dates with Kreator. Jeff will continue for another busy year in 2015 and beyond.
Jeff Loomis states: "I'm very excited to be playing with ARCH ENEMY. Michael Amott and I have stayed in contact over the years since we toured together when I was playing in Nevermore. Not only do I admire his guitar playing and songwriting, but I also consider him a close friend. To be able to share the stage with Michael, Sharlee, Daniel and Alissa is something I'm really looking forward to. 2015 is going to be a great year... See you all on tour!"
Michael Amott (guitars) comments: "The prospect of working with Jeff Loomis moving forward is truly awesome! Jeff Loomis is one of the best guitar players in the metal world in my opinion, as well as being a long time friend. I look forward to tearing it up on stages around the world together as we continue on the ‘War Eternal' touring cycle throughout all next year and beyond!"
There is no doubt that ARCH ENEMY are stronger than ever before. And the war is not over yet.

Detail from the Narmer Palette (recto side), one of the most important artifacts from early Egyptian history. This ceremonial palette commemorates the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt. On one side, the king is depicted with the bulbed White Crown of Upper (southern) Egypt, and the other side depicts the king wearing the level Red Crown of Lower (northern) Egypt. The name of Narmer is between two human-faced bovine heads, thought to represent the patron cow goddess Bat. On this side of the palette, the king wears the white crown, and smites an enemy. Before him, a Horus falcon holds a rope around the defeated enemy, as a human-headed papyrus marsh representing the Delta. On the left of the king is a man bearing the king's sandals, once again flanked by a rosette symbol. In the register below, is depicted two naked, bearded men. They are either running or are meant to be seen as sprawling dead upon the ground.

Taken in Haarlem.These cicades have some sort of defense , they shoot a substance towards there enemy.Little yellow drops.
When I get to close I see those drops everywhere.
According to "Theory of colors" I learned from school for long time ago. The "red" and the "green" are the "enemy colors". They must not be put together. You may not get a good result if you try to make them harmony. I post it here because I love the bokeh light behind. It is pleasure to look at.

Although this looks like fly-tipping in the 21st century, the photograph comes from August 15, 1940, and shows the wreckage of a German seaplane based at Stavanger in Norway. The crash happened near Arbirlot. The plane had made an unsuccessful attack on a searchlight battery in the area.

As there was a lot of fighting in the eastern Slovakia during the WW2, there are quite a few memorials there. This one is right next to the city Svidnik.

The George Armstrong Custer Equestrian Monument, also known as Sighting the Enemy is an equestrian statue of George Armstrong Custer located in Monroe, Michigan. The statue was unveiled on June 4, 1910. It was designated a Michigan Historic Site on June 15, 1992 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 9, 1994.
While Custer was not born in Monroe, he lived much of his early childhood living with relatives and going to school in Monroe. During his youth, he met his future wife Elizabeth Bacon, whom he returned to marry in 1864. Custer eventually left Monroe to attend the United States Military Academy and fight in the Civil War. Because of his hard work and success during the war — as well as the Union's need for officers — he was promoted to the rank of Major General and was a very well known military figure. After the Civil War, he partook in the Indian Wars. His previous accomplishments in the Civil War, however, were overshadowed by his catastrophic defeat and death at the Battle of the Little Big Horn on June 25, 1876.
To honor him, a $24,000, 14-foot (4.27 m) bronze equestrian statue, sculpted by Edward Clark Potter, was unveiled in Monroe in 1910 by then-President William Howard Taft and Elizabeth Bacon Custer. The statue commemorates his successful actions during the Civil War and not his more well known failure during the Indian Wars.

I am going to need a bit of time to master the setting on this particular camera! The switch is being made from Sony to Nikon and it’s a completely different menu setup and making the proper adjustments will take some time and familiarization! These are the first test shots with the new Nikon D7100 and the 80-400 lens! The day was quite overcast and so the colors and details are not what I was expecting! Hopefully I’ll get the hang of the beast which is a bit more complex than the Sony!
I want to thank my wife who offered me an early Christmas present that I couldn’t refuse! Hope my Flickr friends will bear with me while this slow learner picks up on the new system! The Red Tailed Hawk was buried deep in the branches of a tree and would have never seen him if the Jays had not been pitching a fit! Still not the best shot!
