82-1069 makes a 'down and dirty' fly-by during the 1996 Edwards AFB 'Open House'.
Due to budget cuts, that ex 'Hawkeye' AEW APS-125 radar dish modification on the C-130H Hercules, never made it in to production as the USCG terminated the program but here the USAF were evaluating the system which eventually passed onto the US Navy at Patuxent River for the Grumman Hawkeye 2000 program evaluation.

That time of the day when it's simply too hot to guard. So he had a little lie down at this gift stall in Petra :)
My first photo to reach 1000 views (July '07).
A lone guard in front of the huge picture of Mao at Tiananmen.
I like how the straight lines complement the guard's posture.
This is the fourth photo of him I have uploaded. The others are here, here and here.
What a odd job to stand there for hours at a time. Just like the guards at Buckingham Palace.

The Guàrdia Urbana (English: Urban Guard) is the municipal police force for the city of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.
Originally it was formed in November 1843 as the "Municipal Guard". Although in 1907 it became the "Urban Guard".
Originally their police officers were armed with a sabre, pistol, and a rifle. Following Tragic Week events in 1909 the force was demilitarized, and officers are now armed with sidearms for personal defence.
During the early 20th century the force based their uniform types around that of the British Police uniform. The emergency contact number is 092.

Considering the "pick-pocket" problem these guys were a reassuring site.
a father hugs his son as mom looks on Monday morning as the 505th national Guard Unit prepares to depart from a small town in North Carolina toward the war zones in iraq....
As if the lock itself wasn't enough to discourage opening the rusty fence of the old rock quarry, a guard wasp was posted as well...
Stand down photo 1944 of home guard does anyone know who they are? Could be Cornwall due to light infantry bugle on cap badges, picture badges on upper arms. After late 1942 proficiency badge and bar on lower arm.

The Royal Life Guards is a mechanized infantry regiment of the Danish Army, founded in 1658 by King Frederik III. The primary task is to provide a number of soldiers from the Guard Company to serve as a guard/ceremonial unit to the Danish monarchy, while training the Royal Guards for various functions in the mobilisation force.
“Old Guards”
Image from last month when I was doing a morning hike in the Biesbosch. Searching for some old trees I found this spot with some trees and spend some time to make this shot.

During one of the 'touristy' trips in Delhi, I met up with some fellow photographers and we went to Tughlaqabad Fort among a number of other places. In retrospect, going there around noon probably wasn't one of my brightest ideas. Delhi can be cruelly hot during summer and inconceivably bad during that time of the day. This one poor man was left there by himself to guard the vast 6.5sqkm area since it wasn't a tourist season and not many people were expected. Torture can take many forms for those without options.
As for the shot, the light was abhorrently flat. I tried to make a nice HDR out of this particular image with multiple EVs, but its a disaster.
