What would a chameleon say if you ask it what color it is? If it knows what it's talking about, it might just say, "Yes."
In a similar way, many people seem to base their identity primarily on what everybody around displays. Which has more in common with camouflage than with identity. It's a safety precaution just like a chameleon changing its color, but it's still just a mask they wear. They've put it on at one point, probably because they had to, and then forgot it's there. It's not that they could take it off anyway, so they figured they might as well get used to it. And try not to think of it too much, because that way only leads to anguish and isolation.
Or a case of identity theft perhaps? My user 'avatar' for logging onto my computer seems to have changed by itself to this, part of a windows update perhaps. Whatever the reason, another 'squared circle' added to the project.

One that would make some people scratch their heads as to what railroad is actually in front of them can be easily explained. A run through CSX powered express grain train rolls slowly through downtown Howell on the Great Lakes Central as they prepare to pass the former Ann Arbor depot that recently acquired and restored a former Grand Trunk Western caboose. A couple miles ahead, the train will cross the diamond at Ann Pere where Great Lakes Central crosses the CSX Plymouth Sub. Too much to follow? We are on the GLC. The express train is the second GLC has received from CSX this year and like the first one, was loaded in Oakley on the former NYC St. Charles Branch at the Anderson's Elevator complex north of town. The train will be handed off to the Ann Arbor and will eventually be taken by CSX for export.
So, betcha didn't think I'd come back to this, huh. Ngl, I didn't think I would either, but, well, here we are. Switched over to mecabricks for these, just cos I seem to have the teensiest bit of an addiction to it. So, the Clone war continues, now entering its fifth year. The Galaxy is more divided than ever, and this year is a turning point. The Republic is changing, becoming more like an Empire. With each passing day, the Supreme Chancellor becomes more powerful, tightening his grasp on the galaxy. So, let's delve into the forces at play (L to R):
Senate guards - They don't really impact the story too much, just needed something to edge the main figs. Really happy with how they came out, really like the helmets. They do have faces, so I imagine they would play a role, if only minor. They serve the Supreme Chancellor as body guards, though they are slowly being phased out, replaced by new guards with crimson robes.
Aayla Secura - Won't lie, she doesn't really need to be here. She remained with the jedi faction still loyal to the Republic, leading its troops into battle. Maybe she felt obligated due to her loyalty to her troops, or perhaps her respect for Master Skywalker, who also remained.
The first Sister - A dark and mysterious new player in the war, the first sister moves covertly, like a shadow in the night. Her identity is a mystery, though there are rumours. Most likely, she is a fallen jedi, though which one is disputed. On an unrelated note, Barriss Offee's cell is empty, the former Jedi knight transfered to a more secure prison, though which one is unknown.
Anakin Skywalker - An attempted assassination of the Supreme chancellor by the rebellion (I'll come back to this) left Skywalker grievously wounded. Luckily, thanks to cutting edge Republic medicine and technology, he is rebuilt, stronger than ever, even if it came at a price. with burns covering almost his entire body, he is almost permanently encased in a dark suit, reflecting his inner self more and more. He's angrier too, often brutal in battle. there are rumours among the clones that his eyes turn yellow in battle, and a shadow seems to envelope him as he fights. The war has changed Skywalker, most likely for the worse.
Supreme Chancellor Palpatine -
Though the attempt on his life has left him scarred, his loyalty to the Republic is unwavering. Public support only rose after he survived his brush with death, and he continues to be a very popular leader. He holds all the strings, and has no intention of letting them go, as long as he draws breath.
Admiral Thrawn - After his encounter with Skywalker on Batuu, Thrawn decided to accompany him back to coruscant, even if only to assess the state of the Republic for potential alliance with the Chiss ascendancy. Although he found it in an unacceptable state of corruption and greed, he saw potential. Its military showed promise, the clone army was enticing to say the least. He was entered into the Republic naval academy, and fast tracked to admiralty in just three years. Given his own fleet and flagship, The Chimaera, Thrawn is determined to reforge the Republic Navy, becoming its leader. Some say he even has machinations on the seat of Supreme Chancellor. Though these are just rumours, Palpatine has still taken precautions.
Captain [Blank] - You'd think I'd have come up with a decent name by now, huh. Anywho, this is the same guy from Year four, just with a slightly new look and rank. Not an admiral anymore, just a captain. Still blind though, and with a beard this time.
Commander Cody - Still fiercely loyal to the Republic, Cody remains in charge of the 212th attack battalion, leading them into battle, or commanding them from afar. He's getting older though, and is soon to be commanded, returned to Kamino to train the next generation of clones. Quick not about the armour, Mecabricks doesn't have stormtrooper helmets (weird right), so any PhIII's in the future will most likely be helmetless, unless absolutely necessary.
Commander Appo - After Rex's desertion, Appo took command of the 501st, continuing to fight alongside General Skywalker.
So, that's year five done and dusted. I'll be doing this for all the factions, and maybe one more depending on if I can make it work. As always, please lemme know what you think, and if you'd like to see more. Oh, and also if you can think of any other Jedi that would have remained loyal to the Republic, as I honestly couldn't think of any :D
This building always fascinates me. It seems to be many things at the same time while also being a dwelling.
Happy Window Wednesday.

Today there is nothing more precious than seeing my daughters with their passports in hand. A year ago we began the process of registering them as British citizens. These arrived an hour ago... Let the celebrations begin!
Detail from a public art installation by Hadley+Maxwell in Toronto's West Don Lands. This photo isolates part of the bronze sculpture garden titled "Garden of Future Follies."
47812 seems to have a bit of an identity crisis carrying Freightliner decals and Virgin colours whilst working a Rug-ex special for the Wales v Scotland game in February 2004.
Identity is always looking forward to inovate and release itens that will add to your style!

Abellio London "8175" (SN17MVX) is seen sitting inside Twickenham garage awaiting commissioning before use on routes R68 and R70. Length-wise, this is a 10.9m vehicle, and therefore should be carrying the fleetnumber 8900.
NOTE: This photo was taken on the main road. I did not enter the garage.
After finding the slime mould in my previous uploaded picture and speculating it’s likely identity as Comatrichia nigra work meant it was a week before I could return to the site and the mature mould had developed to confirm the identity.
These tiny 2-3mm long spores would be invisible to a casual passer by on the rotting beech. It was only with seeing the pale lemon immature form that I knew they were there and even then it took me a while to pick them out, and even longer to get a photo given how the colour blends in on the wood, the sun coming out eventually aiding.
The first of four E400s to be painted out of the redundant "Gold" livery and into the "Lakes" X4/X5 Workington - Penrith branding is seen on a diverted Carlisle - Workington 300 service at Moota Hill.
A five day road closure of the A596 in the centre of Aspatria requires the time-consuming rigmarole of driving from Aspatria to Wigton via the B5301 to Moota, the A595 to Red Dial & the B5306. The reverse also applies.
D&H GP39-2 7409 was assigned to local service out of Fort Edward, NY on this day. This "mixed image" unit rests between runs adjacent to the classic D&H signal bridge. It was once painted in the D&H blue-dip with yellow nose scheme, but most of the blue paint has completely worn off revealing a fairly clean coat of Reading green below.

D&H 7409 GP39-2
This was the only MILW unit I even seen lettered like this. Someone decided to just stencil a SOO on the nose, sure beat the "Bandit" treatment most MILW units received. June 1987 train 11 calls at Trout Lake with 138, 2553 and 957.
Sometimes I wish myself a new head. Especially if the hair does not sit or that brain is sleeping again *lol*... but the shoes on the shelf, that would be something for me, because I can never decide whether I should wear barefoot or boots ...
The idea long whirred in my "head". Sometimes one has the desire to take on a new identity ..... So must some heads roll from my photo archive for this montage. No fear ... everyone involved still enjoying the best of health!
Halloween is approaching .. so comes every day a picture on this topic.
Montage with photo and rendering (mixed medium)
Is it Galatea, Alberta or Sierra Leone? Different numbers on the smokebox door and cab side and not the nameplate of this Jubilee, the layman can easily be confused.
Not quite the conditions that the assembled gallery were hoping for, loco in the shade and a sunlit hillside behind as "The Dalesman" enters Dentdale. The lucky photters down by the tunnel mouth got it in full sun.
The loco is actually Galatea but motion parts did come from Alberta and the Sierra Leone nameplate is original.
