During the height of the Galactic War, the Trade Federation has spread Republic forces thin. When the Jedi depended most on their clone army to support them during their conquest, they turned on them.
Man was it fun to build again. I'm spending so much time at my laptop either doing school work or games my eyes start to hurt a lot. I've found that building was just a very therapeutic way to have something fun to do without straining my eyes at a screen all the time. Because of this, I may be back building more sets and scenes :) Also this is my application for Dark Times 2.0, which you guys should totally check out. Custom clones may be a thing from me in the future, as well as I want to make more Purge stuff, so stay tuned!
I saw max's build and felt like trying it out. It came out okay but I don't feel like I did it enough I'm probably going to try for a larger build over fall break in a few weeks.
Is this any better Mark?
Well, the photographs of this series are probably nothing special, certainly not in terms of composition, or execution and accuracy. Yet I think or hope, there also is a place for this kind of thing in life (and on Flickr).
I feel these images have a subtleness, some kind of gentle in-the-moment-ness that I find very relaxing.
The halation and the thin DOF that comes with the wide aperture diverts the eye from too much detail, it simplifies and brings the muted vintage color palette in the foreground, which has some painterly quality to it.
I don't really get tired of looking at them, just enjoying the colors; but maybe it's just me, having the memories of taking them that provoke this type of emotional response?
Either way, perhaps some of you like staring at them too for a bit :)

Trying to hide that the German Luffwaffe once called this their own? Maybe a less amateurish execution of the paintjob would have helped.

Execution Rocks Lighthouse. A lighthouse dating back to 1867. It is located in the middle of Long Island Sound on the border between New Rochelle and Sands Point, New York. It stands 55 feet tall, with a white light flashing every 10 seconds. It has an attached stone keeper’s house which has not been inhabited since the light was automated in 1979. In the muddy waters low tide reveals a group of menacing and jagged rocks. Known as Execution Rocks. Legend has it condemned Revolutionary War prisoners and Colonials faced death in these unforgiving waters at the hands of British soldiers. Chained here at low tide, fated prisoners slowly drowned as the tide rose.
And that’s how the lighthouse got its name.
Die von den venezianischen Gerichten Verurteilten wurden über diese Brücke zur Exekution geführt.
Viele ähnliche Brücken wurden nach dem italienischen Vorbild ebenfalls Seufzerbrücke genannt.
Bekanntere unter ihnen sind die an der Universität Cambridge, an der Universität Oxford und in Bremen.

Those convicted by the Venetian courts were led to the execution by way of this bridge over the Rio di Palazzo.
Many similar bridges were also called Bridge of Sighs after the Italian model.
More well-known among them are those at the University of Cambridge, at the University of Oxford and in Bremen.

Dawn breaks the morning after yet another announcement to confirm the delay of the introduction of the new Mk5 stock on the Caledonian Sleeper Highlander service. With the Mk5s on that route now not likely to be introduced until the Autumn, the 35-40 year old Mk2s (pictured) and Mk3s will be kept running in full passenger service for another few months.
Likewise, the Class 90s which have worked Sleeper trains for three decades will perform one last stint before they are no longer able to work the trains anymore (due to ETS and coupling incompatibility).
Freightliner Class 90, 90049 - on hire to GB Railfreight for use on the sleeper services - works the Up Highlander (1M16) south through Winsford.
I wanted to share it tomorrow, but I couldn't wait.
I had the idea for months, but for some reason I never took the photo until now. This was taken at 6AM and I was actually dying from sleep. Usually I don't mind getting up early (it's more, I always get up early, even on weekends, which can be quiet annoying) but precisely that day I stayed until 2AM reading.
This is my street. Cunit doeesn't have a lot of inhabitants, but it's pretty big because they are almost all houses and not blocks of flats. So it has lots of streets too. But this is the most beautiful I've seen so far. You can't see it in the photo, but at the end there are three or four very tall pines that creates a natural arch. It's like passing through some kind of gate.
I don't know if some of neighbours saw me, but I prefer not to know. It would have been funny to see me in pyjamas, barefoot, holding a pillow and standing in the middle of the street.
I hope they won't start treating me like a mentally ill person....
The idea is far from original, but I wanted to contribute with mine too. Sopranosflight recent blue hour photos probably pushed me to finally take the picture.
Another costume I wanted badly for my Lord John Doll. I sent her the pics attached, and Robyn of Period Threads executed it flawlessly

The Steilneset Memorial is a monument in Vardø, Norway, commemorating the trial and execution in the seventeenth century, a 410-foot-long wooden structure framing a fabric cocoon that contains Zumthor's installation; and a square smoked glass room, its roof 39 feet on each side, that contains the work of Bourgeois. Zumthor's structure is made from wooden frames, fabricated off-site and assembled to create sixty bays in a long line within which, suspended by cable-stays, is a coated fibreglass membrane that tapers at each end. Inside is a timber walkway, 328 feet long but just five feet wide, and along the narrow corridor are 91 randomly placed small windows representing those executed, each one accompanied by an explanatory text based on original sources. Through each window can be seen a single lightbulb, intended to evoke "the lamps in the small curtainless windows of the houses" of the region.century of 91 people for witchcraft. The memorial was designed by artist Louise Bourgeois and architect Peter Zumthor and was opened in 2011.
The execution is kinda poor....Don't like how the "white" doesn't wrap all the way up the marbles reflection.....Need to pay more attention next time. Do like the pattern though.

I bought a set of six vintage dolls to hang on my Christmas tree some years ago. I decided to name them after the six wives of Henry VIII. This one is Anne Boleyn.
"Anne Boleyn was Queen of England from 1533 to 1536, as the second wife of King Henry VIII. The circumstances of her marriage and execution, by beheading for treason, made her a key figure in the political and religious upheaval that marked the start of the English Reformation."
This poor queen ant was killed before even being able to start a colony. Still pretty rewarding to photograph!

The Victory I Class Star Destroyer Gallant short after the execution from Order 66 in orbit about Murkhana.
Hello there!
I finally finished the first edited picture of my Victory 1 Class Star Destroyer. It's named the Gallant like the Victory Star Destroyer in the book Dark Lord rise of Darth Vader. The shot is inspired by this comic scene who also appeared in the novel Dark Lord. The star destroyer is flying above Murkhana.
I put a lot of time and work into creating this moc/image. Please tell me your opinion about the edit and the moc, more pictures from the Star Destroyer will be online soon!

Beginning in 1942, the Natzweiler Struthof concentration camp also became a discreet execution site for many of those condemned to death. The firing squad was made up of the camps SS guards.
More than 460 people were known to habe been executed today, including at the crematorium. But the exact figure is difficult to establish. Men and women murdered at Natzweiler were not all registered in the camp and for the most part were murdered without a trace.
Some of the executions were carried out in the sand quarry. One of the most striking of these executions was that of thirteen young Alsatians from Ballersdorf. On the night of 12 to 13 February 1943, they had tried to pass into Switzerland to escape forced inscription into the German army. Arrested and sentenced to death after a summary trial, they were shot in the Natzweiler sand quarry on 17 February.

La sablière, lieu d’exécution
A partir de 1942, le camp de concentration de Natzweiler-Struthof devient aussi un lieu discret d’exécution pour de nombreux condamnés à mort. Ce sont les gardes SS du camp qui forment le peloton d’exécution.
Plus de 460 exécutions ont été recensées à ce jour, y compris au crématoire. Mais le chiffre exact reste difficile à établir. Les hommes et les femmes assassinés à Natzweiler n’étaient pas tous immatriculés au camp et sont pour la plupart été assassinés sans laisser de traces.
Une partie des exécutions a lieu dans cette sablière. L’une des plus marquantes est celle de treize jeunes Alsaciens de Ballersdorf. Dans la nuit du 12 au 13 février 1943, ils avaient tenté de passer en Suisse pour échapper à l’incorporation de force dans l‘armée allemande. Arrêtés et condamnés à mort après un jugement sommaire, ils ont été fusillés le 17 février à la sablière de Natzweiler.
--------------------------
Exekutionsort Sandgrube
Ab 1942 wird das KZ Natzweiler-Struthof in aller Diskretion auch zu einem Ort, an dem zahlreiche zum Tode Verurteilten hingerichtet werden. Die Hinrichtungskommandos bestehen aus den SS-Wachen im Lager. Bis heute weiß man von über
460 Exekutionen, die auch im Krematorium stattfanden. Doch die genaue Zahl ist schwer zu ermitteln, denn die Männer und Frauen, die in Natzweiler ermordet wurden, waren nicht immer als Lagerinsassen erfasst, und die meisten von ihnen wurden in aller Heimlichkeit ermordet.
Ein Teil der Exekutionen fand in dieser Sandgrube statt.Traurige Berühmtheit erlangte die Hinrichtung von 13 jungen Elsässern aus Ballersdorf, die in der Nacht vom 12. auf den 13 Februar 1943 versucht hatten, sich der Zwangsrekrutierung durch die Deutschen durch Flucht in die Schweiz zu entziehen. Sie wurden gefasst und in einem Schnellverfahren zum Tode verurteilt und am 17. Februar in der Sandgrube in Natzweiler erschossen.
Ronda is a municipality of Spain belonging to the province of Málaga, within the autonomous community of Andalusia.
Its population is about 35,000. Ronda is known for its cliffside location and a deep canyon that carries the Guadalevín River and divides the town. It is one of the towns and villages that are included in the Sierra de las Nieves National Park.
In the fifth century AD, Ronda was conquered by the Suebi, led by Rechila, being reconquered in the following century by the Eastern Roman Empire, under whose rule Acinipo was abandoned. Later, the Visigothic king Liuvigild captured the city. Ronda was part of the Visigoth realm until 713, when it fell to the Umayyad troops, who named it Hisn al-Rundah ("Castle of Rundah") and made it the capital of the Takurunna province.
After the disintegration of the caliphate of Córdoba, Ronda became the capital of a small kingdom ruled by the Berber Banu Ifran, the taifa of Ronda. During this period, Ronda gained most of its Islamic architectural heritage. In 1065, Ronda was conquered by the taifa of Seville led by Abbad II al-Mu'tadid. Both the poet Abu al-Baqa ar-Rundi (1204–1285) and the Sufi scholar Ibn Abbad al-Rundi (1333–1390) were born in Ronda.
The Islamic domination of Ronda ended in 1485, when it was conquered by Rodrigo Ponce de León, Duke of Cádiz after a brief siege. Subsequently, most of the city's old edifices were renewed or adapted to Christian roles, while numerous others were built in newly created quarters such as Mercadillo and San Francisco. The Plaza de Toros de Ronda was founded in the town in 1572.
The Spanish Inquisition affected the Muslims living in Spain greatly. Shortly after 1492, when the last outpost of Muslim presence in the Iberian Peninsula, Granada, was conquered, the Spanish decreed that all Muslims must either vacate the peninsula without their belongings or convert. Many people overtly converted to keep their possessions while secretly practicing their religion. Muslims who converted were called Moriscos. They were required to wear upon their caps and turbans a blue crescent. Traveling without a permit meant a death sentence. This systematic suppression forced the Muslims to seek refuge in mountainous regions of southern Andalusia; Ronda was one such refuge.
On May 25, 1566, Philip II decreed the use of the Arabic language (written or spoken) illegal, required that doors to homes remain open on Fridays to verify that no Muslim Friday prayers were conducted, and levied heavy taxes on Morisco trades. This led to several rebellions, one of them in Ronda under the leadership of Al-Fihrey. Al-Fihrey's soldiers defeated the Spanish army sent to suppress them under the leadership of Alfonso de Aguilar. The massacre of the Spaniards prompted Phillip II to order the expulsion of all Moriscos in Ronda.
In the early 19th century, the Napoleonic invasion and the subsequent Peninsular War caused much suffering in Ronda, whose inhabitants were reduced from 15,600 to 5,000 in three years. Ronda's area became the base first of guerrilla warriors, then of numerous bandits, whose deeds inspired artists such as Washington Irving, Prosper Mérimée, and Gustave Doré. In the 19th century, the economy of Ronda was mainly based on agricultural activities. In 1918, the city was the seat of the Assembly of Ronda, in which the Andalusian flag, coat of arms, and anthem were designed.
Ronda's Romero family—from Francisco, born in 1698, to his son Juan, to his famous grandson Pedro, who died in 1839—played a principal role in the development of modern Spanish bullfighting. In a family responsible for such innovations as the use of the cape, or muleta, and a sword especially designed for the kill, Pedro in particular transformed bullfighting into "an art and a skill in its own right, and not simply ... a clownishly macho preamble to the bull's slaughter".
Ronda was heavily affected by the Spanish Civil War, which led to emigration and depopulation.[citation needed] The scene in chapter 10 of Hemingway's For Whom the Bell Tolls, describing the 1936 execution of Fascist sympathisers in a (fictional) village who are thrown off a cliff, is considered to be modeled on actual events of the time in Ronda.
Ronda is situated in a mountainous area about 750 m (2,460 ft) above mean sea level. The inner relief is gentle and includes areas of pastureland and vegetable and cereal growing areas. The Guadalevín River runs through the city, dividing it in two and carving out the steep, 100-plus-meter-deep El Tajo canyon above which the city perches. The Spanish fir is endemic to the mountains surrounding Ronda.
Three bridges span the Tajo canyon: Puente Romano "Roman Bridge" (also known as the Puente Arabe "Arabic Bridge", as the foundation is Roman and it was rebuilt above in the Arabic Period); Puente Viejo "Old Bridge" (also known as the Puente San Miguel "St. Michael's Bridge"); and Puente Nuevo "New Bridge". The term nuevo is something of a misnomer, as the building of this bridge commenced in 1751 and took until 1793 to complete. The Puente Nuevo is the tallest of the bridges, towering 120 m (390 ft) above the canyon floor. The former town hall, which stands next to the Puente Nuevo, is the site of a Parador and has a view of the Tajo canyon.
Outside the Ronda Bullring
The Corrida Goyesca is a bullfight that takes place once a year in Ronda in the Plaza de Toros de Ronda, the oldest bullfighting ring in Spain. It was built in 1784 in the Neoclassical style by the architect José Martin de Aldehuela, who also designed the Puente Nuevo.
Inside the Arabic baths
The partially intact Baños Arabe ("Arabic baths") are found below the city, beside the Puente Arabe (also known as the Puente Romano) and date back to the 13th and 14th centuries. They can be visited, but are no longer in use as baths. The Arab Baths used to fulfil the function of purifying the visitors who came to the city of Ronda. They are the best preserved Arabic baths.
Plaza del Socorro
The Plaza del Socorro is the modern political centre of Ronda. It was here that Blas Infante showed the Andalusian flag and coat of arms for the first time in 1918. The parish church of Socorro (Parroquia de Nuestra Señora del Socorro) was only built in 1956. The building known as the Casino and Circulo de Artistas (Artists' Society) is located on the north side of Ronda's Plaza del Socorro.
Palace of the Marqués de Salvatierra
The Palace (palacio) of the Marqués de Salvatierra opens irregularly as a small museum of Renaissance art and artefacts. The palace is an 18th-century renovation of an earlier 16th century building gifted to the family of Don Vasco Martín de Salvatierra by the Catholic Monarchs when they redistributed the spoils of the Reconquest. In 1994, Madonna obtained a permit to shoot inside the palace for the music video of "Take a Bow".
Casa del Rey Moro
Despite the name, the Casa del Rey Moro was never the home of a Moorish king. It was built in the 18th century, when Moorish Spain was already a distant memory. Its apparently Moorish gardens are even more recent, having been designed by the French landscape gardener Jean Claude Forestier in 1912. The house does incorporate one genuine and important relic of Ronda's Moorish era: the so-called Water Mine, a set of steps down to the river carved into the cliff wall.
Serranía de Ronda is filled with pueblos blancos which are approachable by car. The position of the town of Ronda provides views over the mountains of Serranía de Ronda.

Interregnum
In office 16 December 1653 – 3 September 1658
With the execution of Charles I in 1649, England became a Commonwealth (Republic) run by the Rump Parliament. The Royalists regrouped in Ireland and Cromwell was chosen to lead a campaign against them. His campaign was brief and effective lasting nine months. On his return he found parliament was divided and there was infighting. In an attempt to unite the three Kingdoms (England, Scotland and Ireland) he wanted new elections to take place. The Rump Parliament was however dissolved by Cromwell, supported by 40 musketeers, when he became angry with how they were acting. Power temporarily passed to a council, who proposed an assembly, known as Barebones Parliament. The assembly was dissolved in December 1653 and Cromwell was made Lord Protector.
His Power as Lord Protector allowed him to call and dissolve Parliament, whilst he had to gain the Council of States majority in any votes. His power was reinforced down to his popularity with the army. During his time as Lord Protector he had two aims. First, he wanted to set up a form of government which would heal and settle the nation after the chaos of the Civil Wars. Secondly he wanted to bring in moral and spiritual reform to the country.
In 1655 there was a Royalist rebellion and afterwards Cromwell divided the country into military districts, ruled by Army Major Generals. He also encouraged Jews to return, some 350 years after Edward I had banished them. It was hoped that their return would help the economy recover after the Civil War. In 1657 He was offered the Crown which he declined as he did not believe that the office was God’s providence. The following year he caught malaria and experienced an illness symptomatic of a urinary or kidney complaint, which he is thought to have eventually died off. His son Richard was succeeded as Lord Protector but having no power base in Parliament or the Army he was forced to resign in May 1659.

Turns out, he's HUGE, and impossibly designed for execution in LEGO form. But I like a challenge. Come see the result this weekend at Brickworld Chicago if you're around!
