Picture a bleak, remote copse. A young girl lowered into a shallow, informal grave to rest in perpetuity. In future times poets would solemnise this ritual burial.
Excerpt from Cdr. Bannon’s log: Since I was already in the system, high command tasked me with a covert operation on the planet Gorse. The mission was to infiltrate a New Republic thorilide refinery, and plant a transmitter spike for future operations. This was usually a mission for a small crew like Reaper Squad, but ever since Nadiri, and Rae Sloane’s strike on Gorse, New Republic security has tightened. This meant I was to spearhead a diversion, disguised as a diplomatic mediator between Zeltron suppliers and the refinery boss, while Reaper Squad and a stormtrooper platoon from the 88th infiltrated the installation.
Cdr. Bannon: Greetings Dr. Sihlbar. I’m here to deliver a message from Minister Freyi An’zeli.
The two New Republic security officers flinched as Cdr. Bannon held out a small holoprojector, and a beautiful (by humanoid standards) flickering figure came to life mid-air…
Minister Freyi: Dr.! I will dispense of the pleasantries and get straight to business. For too long have you and your new government exploited the hospitality of Zeltron. We will block all baradium shipments rerouted from the Zel system until you agree to Cdr. Bannon’s terms…
The Zeltron paused for a moment...
Minister Freyi: Should you choose not to agree, Zeltron will turn to the aid of the Imperial Triumvirate!
The Mon Calamari Dr. looked from side to side, blinking a few times before muttering…
Dr. Sihlbar: Tshis es non negoseable? Tshe New Rebublic does not answer to imperial threatsh.
A transmission crackled through to Cdr. Bannon’s hidden ear-pierce…
Lt. Sin Veruna: Commander. I’m in position. Ready to take out the scum on your signal!
Cdr. Bannon turned his attention to the Mon Calamari...
Cdr. Bannon: You can kiss your Baradium supply goodbye.
Lt. Delp Wep: Not s-so hasty. A renegotiation of the agreement with Zeltron sh-should take place with the Gorse refinery administration, not with the refineries directly. I suggest you make an appointment with the board. We can escort you to the administration building.
Cdr. Bannon: That won’t be necessary!
The Commander nodded, and the low muffled sound of two silent sniper bolts - PZZHAM - BZZHAMM - is drowned out by the mechanical hum of the refinery...

Another entry for the Factions RPG (www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/forum/188-fact...)
For this one i did a lot of small experiments. Some things I hope to incorporate in future builds... Let me know what you think!
A herd of moo-cows mooching about on the South Downs in the evening sunshine. Rumour is the local dairy herd is about to be disbanded due to falling milk prices so might not see cattle like this on the Downs in future.
This is my first time travel to Uji city and this is a such nice place to visit and I love a lot this place.
No tourism so crowded and have a nice river view and sunset directions.
In future I could like to come again this place.
Going through some older shots while I have to be quiet as I recover from a bout of pneumonia. I have decided that in future I must make more of an effort to get rid of unwanted shots as I take them. My delete box is filling up!
The chalk cliffs of the south-west coast of the Isle of Wight reach their highest point on what is now known as Tennyson Down, but was previously known as High Down - 147 metres above the waters of the English Channel.
After Tennyson's death in 1892 a local committee was formed to decide on an appropriate memorial to the poet who had made the island his home for 40 years.
The memorial - an Iona cross of Cornish granite - was almost certainly designed by Frank Loughborough Pearson, R.A., son of the well-known architect John Loughborough Pearson.
The site already had a beacon, a tarred wooden structure erected by Trinity House in 1893 and known as Nodes Beacon. Trinity House had to be approached for agreement to build a more permanent structure, and change the name to Tennyson Beacon.
As Douglas Freshfield, a Freshwater member of the committee, wrote to The Times:
The beacon cross should form a conspicuous and fitting memorial to one of England's greatest poets.
The beacon is 32 feet high and the cross itself is 24 feet high.
In 1895 the Board of Trade and Trinity House agreed to accept the memorial, that it should be known as 'The Tennyson Beacon' and that they would maintain it in future.
The cost of the memorial was estimated at £1,000 raised through subscription. The American poet Oliver Wendell Holmes formed a committee and raised £200 towards the cost.
By 1897 it had been completed and at 3pm on Friday 6th August the Archbishop of Canterbury performed the dedication ceremony. It was - intentionally - the 88th anniversary of the poet's birth.
The weather, as in this photograph - was glorious with sun and a cooling breeze.
The inscription reads:
In memory of Alfred, Lord Tennyson, this cross is raised as a beacon to sailors, by the people of Freshwater, and other friends in Europe and America.
I feel quite sure, said the second Lord Tennyson, after the dedication, that it is the memorial my father would have liked the best.
That is the positive side of the event. There was another, however, recorded in the pages of The Times a few days later:
that ill-organised, flat affair the other day, the unveiling of the Tennyson Beacon.
Whatever happened on that day, the cross stands almost unaffected by over one hundred years exposure to wind and weather.

I thought an area of urban parkland called The Level would be a good place to photograph the snow, avoiding all the usual familiar Brighton landmarks. The wet snow caused my camera to cease functioning, but after 48 hours of drying out, it now works. I will use special camera rain sleeves in future.
This was from an older MOC that was just made as an experiment with landscape and a few other things, but I really liked this crab Droid, so here's a picture focusing on him :)
Might post some more photos of him, and some instructions in future if there is interest :)
'Reflective moment'. Passage migrant, just passing by...the not so often seen Wood Sandpiper caught here taking a moment on one leg. Cley Marshes, Norfolk, UK.
Many thanks for visiting my Flickr pages ...Your visits, interest, comments and kindness to 'fave' my photos is very much appreciated, Steve.
Wood Sandpiper Key information...
The wood sandpiper is a medium-sized wading bird, with a fine straight bill, yellowish legs and a conspicuous long white stripe from the bill over the eye to the back of the neck. In flight, it shows no wing-stripes and a square white rump.
Is is a passage migrant in spring and autumn, breeding in Northern Europe and wintering in Africa. A few pairs breed in the Scottish Highlands. The flooding of some previously drained traditional marshes in Scotland may help this species in future. Wood sandpipers are listed as a Schedule 1 species.
What they eat:
Insects, worms, spiders, shellfish, small fish and small aquatic invertebrates.
Measurements:
Length:19-21cm
Wingspan:36-40cm
Weight:50-90gPopulation:
UK breeding:28 pairs

No he wasn't a rare Gacha price but I can't help it to see this guy come home proudly to announce loud and proud at his lover that he just won the rare gacha price and no..no it's not going to fit the house!
In fact the dragon was a Manticore pet..I'm a dragon lover and hope to work more with dragon looks in future..So here comes my first try!
The universe of Warhammer Fantasy not so popular among the LEGO comunity, like, for example, Middle-Earth, but it gives a lot of inspiration for me. Everyone knows Erebor, and I want to show you my vision of equally famous Dwarf fortress.
Karak Kadrin, known also as Slayers Keep is a Dwarf stronghold which guards Peak Pass, an important trading route which runs through the Worlds Edge Mountains from the distant east to the Old World. A mighty and well-known kingdom, Karak Kadrin benefits from its position, having become both a wealthy trading center and the largest, most populous and most powerful Dwarf kingdom in the Pass. Despite being besieged countless times, Karak Kadrin has never fallen. Its impregnability is probably due to the fact it has become the home of the feared Dwarven Slayers, who are naturally attracted to such a contested place. On account of this, Karak Kadrin is commonly known as "Slayer Keep", and is an important centre for the worship of Grimnir, the Dwarf Ancestor God epitomizing fearlessness and fighting spirit.
You may think that this MOC is formulaic, and may be you will be right, but I think such type of fortress fits the best for the Dwarves.
Once I've built Dwarvish Gates ( www.flickr.com/photos/dwalinforkbeard/26148441875/in/date... ), and since that times I got a little more parts but still not enough. When I was on the half of the way, I realized that I have no parts at all to finish it. So I borrowed parts all over the country. Anyway, the result is not the same, I've had in my mind. I know about weaknesses of this MOC and maybe in future I can show better version. May be it will be Karaz-a-Karak, who knows?
Hope you like it.

Forgive me when I post too many photos of the grouse!
On April 9th 3 friends and I drove south of the city to a Sharp-tailed Grouse lek. I hadn't thought about the degree of difficulty that might challenge me in climbing over the stile with a knee replacement. I really struggled so I do not think I will be returning to see the grouse in future years.
Thanks for your visits, comments and faves! They are all appreciated!
Shown heading down the Clyde on route to Falmouth. The Australis spent five or six years as a storage tanker at Finnart. Her departure is the result of the imminent closure of the Grangemouth refinery. Whilst the Grangemouth refinery is privately owned, it will mean Scotland will in future have to rely on imports because politicians - in both Holyrood and Westminster - failed to act to save the last oil refinery facility in Scotland. Yet another example of politicians stupidity and short-sightedness!

Observing birds and wildlife provides information that can help us in future shoots. I have noticed that when swans climb up on a bog or area where they can stand and preen themselves, the often finish by flapping their wings. Knowing this helped me prepare to capture this image. What I didn't see until I processed this image was the bird that was close by in the foreground.

I continue to experiment with Drone Photography and I will be the first to admit that the results are a little hit and miss. Probably a lot more miss than hit but I suppose practice makes perfect and all that.
This shot was taken of Eilean Donan Castle at 23:30, long after the sun had set and in almost complete darkness. I used the built-in HDR mode to try and get something useful from what was certainly far from optimal conditions. Away from the building and the lights the image is oddly ghostly and the noise level is pretty dire. If that was the quality of the whole image it would be discarded without hesitation. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how well the detail on buildings came out. I’ve applied a fair but of post processing to the raw image to bring out the detail but at least the detail was there to recover.
In future I’ll be limiting use of the drone to times where light is more abundant. The quality of the DJI devices may be impressive, relatively speaking, but they really do not stack up against a decent DSLR.
Sandhill Cranes used to be in the same genus (Grus) as European Cranes, but genetic studies in 2010 resulted in Sandhills and four other crane species being placed in a separate genus Antigone. Antigone by the way, was the daughter of King Laomedon of Troy who was metamorphosed into a Stork for presuming to compare herself to the goddess Hera. Now more recent genetic studies have shown that the population of Pacific coastal Sandhill Cranes are very different genetically and ecologically from those inland birds breeding east of the Rockies, and may even be a separate species, though more work would be needed to establish that: www.rarebirdalert.co.uk/v2/Content/Dividing_Lines_in_the_...
They are called Sandhill Cranes after one of their most important migration stopover sites at the Platte River in Nebraska, which is a habitat of inland sand hills. Being migratory they are prone to occasional vagrancy and a handful of birds have reached Britain. I was fortunate enough to see one of these vagrants while visiting Shetland in September 1991. So if the species is split in future, my Scottish sighting might be my only bird of the interior (eastern) population.
These were a coastal breeding pair at the George C Reifel reserve near the mouth of the Fraser River in British Columbia. There is a difference in size of the red head patch but this is just natural variation among adults (young birds lack the red head patch) as the sexes are similar, though males are a bit larger. So the left bird here looks like the male.
Messier 51 is the famous "Whirlpool" galaxy in Canes Venatici. It is one of the most conspicuous and best-known spiral galaxies in the sky. M 51 is interacting with its much smaller neighbour, NGC 5195
A lot of frames were tossed out over the two nights this target was acquired. I have had trouble getting proper guiding on my CGX using a MacBook for image acquisition. I have recently adjusted my RA and DEC axis on the mount and will try to refine PHD2 settings so I can hopefully calm down my auto-guiding. A new mount might have to be considered in future if I plan to do more work on my EdgeHD 11.
I have upgraded my mono camera to the new ASI294MM for narrowband work on my RASA 8 but plan on using it on the C11 for broadband targets. This will be my final image captured using the famous ASI1600mm.

Pose: Jess Poses - Couple Bento #30 (Coming April 15 to the Virtual Design Event)
Model: My dearest Cykes Silver. He's one of those people I can just instantly connect with and I was so thrilled he was available to shoot with me. Cuddle Piles with Cykes are the best, even when he falls asleep on me.
Pants: These are a group gift by Blueberry and available at the Main Store.
A word about the pose ... when my model and I sat on our pose balls, we assumed the pose and it alligned well and we both felt it was adorable. However, the balls themselves did not disappear. I was able to right click > Edit, then increase the transparency to 100% to make them go away. Just a note to the creator that she will want to fix that in future efforts.

My dad sent me a couple of cameras, a Pentax Super Program and a Minolta Maxxum 4; both tested and working, but this Minolta appears to be overexposing, which was easy to correct in post, although I may just rate the film a stop faster in future rolls.
Vicino a Melbourne abbiamo percorso la Great Ocean Road per ben 2 volte nel nostro viaggio in Australia… luoghi magnifici (anche se, per noi amanti della tranquillità, un pò troppo affollati) si susseguono lungo questa strada costiera di 200km circa… Questa immagine è dei famosissimi 12 Apostoli, sulla costa del Port Campbell National Park..in realtà grazie all’erosione marina ne sono rimasti solo 8 ma,probabilmente, col tempo altri se ne genereranno altri…
Panorama creato dall’unione di 3 scatti
Close to Melbourne we drove the Great Ocean Road 2 times in our australian trip… amazing places (even if, for us who love quiet, a bit too crowded) are all near each-other on this 200 kilometers coastal road… This image shows the famous 12 apostles , on the Port Campbell National park shores… in reality there are just 8 stacks thanks to the erosion of the ocean but, probably, in future more stacks will be created from the waves…

The East Terran Trading Company is finally ready to begin large scale exportation of vanilla from Jameston. The first stage of processing the 'Queen of Spices' is to sort the beans. A very manual process, workers sort the beans as they arrive from the plantations in the shade of a large warehouse painted in the typical citrus hues of Jameston. They are looking for beans between 10-25cm and discard any that are woody or brown. After sorting, further processing can begin (to be shown in future MOCs).

Couple of Lego Mandalorian-related figs and builds. Also, yellow background because the white background was too small to fit everything :/ From left to right:
Mini Razorcrest: Pretty happy with how this turned out. I didn't want to make a huge Razorcrest because I knew I wouldn't have all the pieces, so I decided to scale it down a lot. The scale's kinda inspired by the mini Slave 1 from the Cloud City set, and the ship can seat the Mandalorian at the cockpit and Cara Dune and Baby Yoda at the back. Hoping to show more angles of this in future Mandalorian-related posts.
The figures are pretty straight forward, Mando has Firestartoys arms and a Brickarms pistol, and rubber glovetops cut from a hose piece. Cara Dune's the official Lego figure with no changes at all.
I did the best I could with Baby Yoda lol, I thought the head from Lego's OG yoda would fit him best because the color's decently accurate, and the head doesn't have that gray hair print on the back.
Blurrg: My absolute favorite "thing" to come out of the Mandalorian. Yeah, I know the Blurrgs were featured in TCW and Rebels, but seeing them in live-action was something else. Really love their design, and I thought I'd make it in Lego form. Getting it to scale was the primary goal, and I think it fits in pretty well with minifigs. Only thing I would change are the eyes if I had more Lego printed eye parts, but these were the best thing I could find.
What do you guys think? Comments are, as always, very much appreciated!
Sorry my dear friends, I haven't been on Flickr for a while as I have been a bit busy and si I needed to take a rest. Hope to find more time for Flickr in future again.

I realised today that although I do take a pic every day -usually several without fail it is moving me on too speedily to other images. Today and in future I have decided not to always post the ones I took that day but to include those that I have edited that day too. This one is from a few days ago. I have reduced the highlights on this so have carried out some editing this morning. It's my personal challenge so it's up to me to decide the rules!! :-)
Pikes Peak is the highest summit of the southern Front Range of the Rocky Mountains, in North America. The ultra-prominent 14,115-foot (4,302.31 m) fourteener is located in Pike National Forest, 12.0 miles (19.3 km) west by south (bearing 263°) of downtown Colorado Springs, Colorado. The mountain is named in honor of American explorer Zebulon Pike, who was unable to reach the summit. The summit is higher than any point in the United States east of its longitude.
Yes I drove up to it. I been to the Cedars of Lebanon and the Pyrenees in France and Spain, but by far at this peak, I was at the highest elevation I have been ever. The Air was thin an I was breathing short rapid breath. I felt light headed and stayed atop for 10 minutes and then knew I had to go to a lower elevation. The views from the top are breath taking and some of these will be posted in future posts.

Expédition Antarctique 1966 are a collection of snowmobiles that were used in 3rd Belgo-Dutch scientific expedition to Antarctica in 1966. It was hoped that these vehicles would be used in future expeditions, but have instead been left to gather dust in a cramped barn in Belgium.
Lighting up the 1927 Dodge Graham and the Standard Mill during a night photography workshop in the historic mining town of Bodie, California. My intention was to light up this old Dodge flatbed truck, but someone was capturing a photo of the Standard Mill in the background, so we had the bonus of a background subject about 1/3 mile away.
If you'd like to join us this year, very few nights in our 2016 schedule have remaining space!

In future years I may switch to embedding Bodie access in our longer workshops, instead of conducting single nights. I've tried to keep Bodie access as reasonable as possible, but that's just not sustainable given the very high, and increasing, access fees.
The secret world of the STS
This is the last episode of the current series of STS: Who Dares Shoots, unless Flickr commission another series or they decide to film a celebrity version or a Christmas special. So far, we have seen the recruits cope with barren living conditions, strength sapping yomps to locations on their doorstep, marmite and whiskey initiation ceremonies and shooting conditions to push them to their very limits of tolerance and sanity.
However, they must prove themselves and pass the most hideous task of all... a task so brutal and torturous that most military organisations have outlawed it. To this day only the STS and the SAS (a more humane version than the STS it must be said) employ the skills of the “Umpire”.
It is the Umpire’s sole purpose to utilise tactics that have been outlawed by the Geneva convention since the end of the Second World War. However, at the highest level, they are still permitted solely for training purposes in case the STS are ever called into action behind enemy lines or for domestic crises. Each recruit must recognise these tactics and handle the situation without retaliation. To this day all active Umpires within the STS are not known publicly and only the recruits from each intake have seen their faces. Their word is final and overrules all DT commands such is the responsibility of their role.
Unbeknown to the recruits, the Umpire had been planted within this intake from the very outset – watching, listening, observing! From the very start, subtle tactics were being employed – on day one, up on the glen overlooking Buachaille Etive Mòr the first signs were visible, but not to the uninitiated. Only when the recruits congregated around a feature such as a pond or a rock for foreground interest did the Umpire come into play, strategically placing tripod legs in the way of the recruit’s compositions. Later in the day the recruits travelled the road that winds down the glen to Loch Etive, bypassing the cliché shot that is James Bond and Skyfall - it’s only for the tourists now, although C4 couldn’t resist and bagged a couple of frames.
At the end of the glen is a lone tree framed by a classical glacial-formed u-shaped valley. Few know of this location and even fewer have ventured this far down, but C6 had recced the location in advance... could he be a DT or more importantly the Umpire? Many shots were taken at this location by all the recruits but equally, many were ruined by a tog wandering across their compositions and setting up a tripod mid-shoot. It wasn’t C6!
Maybe, in future uploads some of the recruits will share with us the number of canned images spoilt by the Umpire. I have it on good authority that C4 canned 137! If you find this Dick Dastardly technique of sabotage too unpalatable to cope with, rest assured it’s all in the name of training.
In most locations the recruits coped admirable, jostling for key positions, but keeping their cool about elbows and tripods in confined spaces. All except C7 who tended to wander off on his own at locations. The DTs will have to bring him in for a chat to see if the tactics of the Umpire from day one has psychologically affected the youngest member of the intake.
The climax came at Elgol and a location generally known in togging circles as Joe Cornish’s boulder or JCB... some of the wittier recruits renamed the ‘B’ with an anatomical part, but after all this is a family series so we’ll leave that up to your own imagination.
Such is the choice of locations and compositions in this area that the recruits split up in order to mitigate the effect of the Umpire – could they have worked it out? Where they all on the way to completing and passing the course... the next few hours would tell. C4 and C8 headed straight for JCB and bagged a few early bankers while the others spread themselves out leaving the Umpire to revert back to normal togging. It was only with the setting sun did the recruits congregate at JCB, but the Umpire had anticipated this and had encamped there first. It was a massacre... big tripod legs came out, spread wide and low. No gorilla pods, beanbag or handheld shooting here. The recruits were flummoxed – this was meant to be one of the holy grails of Skye for togs!
C8 had already proved to be nimble out in the wild and opted for the lowest position on the right where most of the other togs, including the Umpire couldn’t get into. The ever so enthusiastic and highly competitive C5 took his chance and encamped on the left - right under the nose of the Umpire... brave man! C2 arrived next but was forced to wait until the slightest of gaps opened... fair play to the recruit, he took his chance and was in like Flynn. Four down... three to go!
C4 arrived next but had to wait, so took the opportunity to polish his equipment as no chance of gate-crashing that spot. Eventually C2 gave way, presumably suffering from cramp, and allowed C4 to grab a few desperate shots as the last sun rays retracted from the JCB. Five down... two to go!
Alas, this is as good as it got. C6 never made it to the JCB, but to his credit opted for other, less shot compositions (that will count well with the DTs in the final selections – originality counts big!) It is not clear if C7 was ever aware of JCB, but true to his unique skills-set went in search of other gems (which will also count well with the DTs).
But readers do not be disheartened with this outcome, the objective of this STS course is to find the very limits of togging endurance, tenacity, team building and comradeship... and to push beyond. The important thing is, not one recruit went VW.
If you have a location, if no one else will go with you and if you can find them, maybe you can join the Tog-Team!
But remember – the first rule of STS is: You do not talk about STS.
And finally, if you’re out shooting and a man wearing a red cap walks into your shot or sets up a tripod too close for comfort, just remember he may be a member of the STS. Just don’t mess with the best!

Squeaking in at the last minute for our joint monthly project but the fact I managed to take this photo earlier today makes me so happy. A month ago, I really wasn't certain Flynn & Barney would ever be able to go outside for any kind of "walk" together.
We got Barney a buggy last week because although it's very important he moves & tries to practice walking as much as possible... there's a limit to how long I can hold his back end up, before my arms & back give up! I wasn't sure how he'd take to it but he actually seemed to immediately understand what - & who - the buggy was for, he asks to go in it & settles nicely (although we do have to zip the front up once we're moving, or he'll occasionally try to jump out - regardless of currently only having 2 working legs!).
Today was the first time Flynn's come out with Barney in the buggy. I had been rather nervous about if Flynn would worry about the weirdness of his "brother" being inside, or that he'd dislike the noise of the wheels etc. It turns out, Flynn was so overjoyed to be finally going OUT for a "walk" with Barney again, he didn't care! It was quite sweet - these two don't seem overly affectionate but Flynn was clearly delighted when he saw Barney would be accompanying us. They were both barking about how much fun it was as we went down the road! We didn't go far at all today but hopefully we can go a little further in future.
For those in the 52 WfDs group - my dear old Barney, who was in the group for a few years, before Flynn joined us, suffered from a spinal stroke at the end of May. It was a huge shock - the poor lad suddenly became paralysed in both his back legs. It's painless & he should hopefully regain some/most of his former mobility (the degree of recovery varies a lot between dogs) but it usually takes many weeks, or months to see significant improvement. Esp considering Barney's age (14.5yrs), he's doing so well. Initially both back legs were completely limp, unable to support any weight at all & lacking all feeling. A little over a month later, Barney's very, very nearly able to stand up unassisted & is getting close to doing a hobbled-y "walk" on grass - albeit with me supporting his back end. He's trying very hard!

Small Arms Limited, Long Branch Arsenal
Adjacent to the west side of Marie Curtis Park (now Marie Curtis Park West) in Toronto Township is the former site of the Small Arms Limited Long Branch Arsenal. The Federal Government had owned the lands south of Lake Shore Road, between the Etobicoke River to just west of Cawthra Road, from the late 1800s into the early 20th-Century.
The Ordnance Branch of the Department of National Defence authorized the construction of the factory in 1940. After transfer to the Department of Munitions and Supply, a Crown Corporation, Small Arms Ltd. was formed to operate the facility. By June 1941, the first five rifles had been produced. Huge quantities of British-pattern military small arms were manufactured there during the Second World War, including the No.4 MkI* Lee–Enfield bolt-action rifle, and the Sten submachine-gun (or machine-carbine). Small Arms Ltd. ceased operations at the end of December 1945. Beginning January 1, 1946, operations continued as the Small Arms Division, Canadian Arsenals Limited. The factory was closed June 30, 1976. The property was later used by Canada Post as a distribution centre.
The factory complex was demolished and the "Arsenal Lands" are now being used for the stockpiling of landfill for use in future aquatic park development. The lands are slated to be eventually become part of Marie Curtis Park West. The buildings of the office complex at the foot of Dixie Road were saved for public use, while only the water tower remains from the factory complex.

“It isn’t easy being a super star, you know Bertie?” Said Sky.
“I didn’t know you were a super star Sky, anyway, what is a super star?”
“Well, it is a star that is super, I suppose. Plus, as not many bears are super stars, it isn’t a familiar identity problem.”
“Who else do I know who is a super star, Sky?”
“Well, there is… I don’t think there is anyone else Bertie.”
“What about Posh Bear or Wellington? They must be super stars too.”
“I don’t think so Bertie, they are clever and very old, but I don’t think they have super star material about them. It is something that one either has or hasn’t got, and I’ve got it.”
“Hello chaps, what are you chatting about?” Asked Posh Bear as he sat down beside his two friends.
“We were talking about super stars Posh, I didn’t realise that little Sky here is a super star.” Said Bertie.
“No, I am not surprised Bertie, for I didn’t know that either. When did you find out about this status, Sky?”
“It was you Posh, you told me that I was a super star. I’m surprised you don’t remember, but then you are getting quite old I suppose.” Said Sky smiling. “Us, super stars must make allowances.”
“Refresh my old memory for me Sky, I can’t recall the occasion.”
Sky gave a long, drawn-out sigh before he spoke.
“Well, if you remember, when I told you that I had managed to find more jars of that very nice local honey on the man’s picture thingy yesterday, I seem to remember you saying, super, what a star. I assumed that you had got the words in the wrong order and what you meant to say was, what a super star. That seems pretty clear to me.” Explained Sky.
“That makes sense to me too Sky, and if Posh says that you are a super star then you must be for, he is ever so old and very knowledgeable.” Agreed Bertie.
“Yes, and very forgetful too. I doubt he recalls saying that I could have two jars of his honey for ordering this special honey for him too.” Said Sky looking at Posh.
“I didn’t say that, Sky?”
“There, I told you Bertie. It’s old age you know. Posh, I think you need to begin writing things down in future. Take the word of a super star, old chap.” Sky said, while patting his friend on the arm with his paw.
“Why don’t we go and find that honey Posh, after all, it is only fair if you offered it to Sky, and while you are finding it for him, any chance you have a jar or two for me?” Asked Bertie smiling nicely.
“I just don’t understand why you two never have any honey of your own?” Asked Posh.
“That’s simple Posh, it is because we eat it. Now about that honey you owe us…” Sky said smiling.

This will be appearing at the The Affordable Art Fair New York City,
The Altman Building / Metropolitan Pavilion, 135 West 18th Street, NYC , June 12-15, 2008.
It’s for sale, and yes I’m aware that “affordable” is a relative term.

Sorry it's a bit hard to read all the tiny random nonsense even in the big size. I'll try and write BIGGER in future.
Sold, now.
The Hawker-Siddeley 4,000hp prototype had a very chequered history largely thanks to exceeding the 20 ton axleload limit for nose suspended traction motor fitted locomotives decreed by BR. Despite a reduction of the axeload from 23 to 21 tonnes by dint of fitting a pair of modified class 47 bogies at Brush Works in early 1969 its use as a high speed passenger loco only lasted for two months on ECML services before being banished back to freight duties. A complete lack of interest by BR who had decided they no longer wanted a mixed traffic loco as they foresaw the future as lightweight high speed passenger trains and dedicated low geared freight locos saw the unwanted loco sold to the Russians initially for show at the Moscow Rolling Stock Exhibition in July 1971. The early use of a 3 phase AC alternator instead of a DC main generator was of particular interest to the Russians when they came to reverse engineer parts of it to incorporate in future designs.

I absolutely adore churches and chapels. I find them immensely elegant and peaceful. Often set in a green area with trees, they are a little pocket of wild in an increasingly urbanised world.
I have scouted many churches and chapels recently, and attempted to take photos on many occasions, but I'm never happy with the composition...
I wasn't going to post this photo to Flickr just because I think it's very mediocre, but having it up here will pave the way to me posting more photos of churches in future. In fact, I have a roll of HP5 in my Hasselblad at the moment which *should* have a photo of my favourite chapel that I saw during my trip to wales. Let's wait and see how it turns out!

Veluwezoom National Park is a part of the forest and heaths between Arnhem and Dieren (Gelderland, Netherlands). It is one of the oldest national parks of The Netherlands. Many animals feel at home here due to the large area (5000 hectares) and the varied landscape. In this area the herbivorous animals are common: Scottish Highlanders, Icelandic horses, deers. The largest mammal of the Netherlands is elk. But smaller animals also find home here such as boars, hares, foxes and squirrels. In future Veluwezoom will be connected to the Oostvaardersplassen area in Flevoland, Netherlands and wild nature areas in Germany.

I am posting this for my friend Emily in Indiana, PA who is the Project Manager & Conservation Planner for Working Lands for Wildlife. Her specific tasks are to work with the landowners in PA to create wildlife habitat conducive for the breeding of Golden-winged Warblers.
These birds are very close to Endangered status and need all of our help...same goes for the Cerulean Warbler as well.
Both birds are species of special concern to the American Bird Conservancy who has been supporting Emily's work and the work of Dr. Jeffrey Larkin of the University of Indiana Pennsylvania for the past 4 or 5 years .
Dr. Larkin and his students and graduate students have been woking in the field for years studying the GWWA regarding habit preferences for nesting, nesting materials, preferred altitude above sea level, types of trees and shrubs in areas they prefer, what they like to eat, etc.
Their research and findings have been most valuable to the scientific community.
I encourage everyone to join and support the American Bird Conservancy----
This photo may also appear in future ABC publications.
Four times a year, at the end of each quarter, the notebooks are collected and graded. Of course I want to see everthing --- class notes, vocabulary sheets, cultural info, verb info, tape recorded practice sheets --- everthing completed and in the specified order. Now is that asking too much?
It takes a while to grade the notebooks, but it is worth the time and effort, and I feel good knowing that, when the students leave me, they have a great "resource of information" to use in future Spanish classes.
A second night of trying to shoot star trails for the first time in several years. A few critical points to look into overcoming in future: though I cannot improve the interval period between each picture (minimum 1s on my X-E3), I hope to find some way to avoid the stipling evident in these trails; once I have a telephoto lens, I hope to avoid the distracting leaves which contain artefacts of the stacking process; I shot the scene a little too early, so there is some variation of light between the first stacked image and the last - in future I must wait until the afterglow of the sun is totally gone; I need to purchase a decent lens hood, as a lamp adjacent to the antenna causes the lens glare in both the upper right and lower left of the image; and finally I will need to finalise my work-flow - for example do I colour edit the RAW files, or the JPG/TIFF output file from the stacking software (as I did here, though it seems to reduce the integrity of the image)?
So, some more to learn, but I place it here as an imperfect example of what I hope to achieve in future.

So many layers of history and legend piled on top of each other it will be hard to know where to begin when I start to explain White Horse Hill in future postings. Luckily the weather and cloud cover played ball and gave me some wonderful, if hazy low level light.
A view over the Vale of the White Horse, a shallow wide valley drained by the gentle River Ock that enters the Thames at Abingdon hidden by the rising land on the right.
In the centre of the image, somewhere in the distance, hidden by a roll in the landscape must be Oxford.
The flat topped hill in the distance is Dragon Hill, a rare free-standing chalk knoll, its flat top created in the Iron Age and the site of where St George slayed the dragon. There's still a patch on the summit where grass will never grow, poisoned by the dragon's blood.
Just leaving the NT car park here, and my other half and driver paying and finding a bench to enjoy the view whilst I belt around.
If you're out there all alone
And you don't know where to go to

With a heart that's full of joy
You'll say the word "tomorrow" without fear

Cause we all live in Future World
A world that's full of love
Our future life will be glorious
Come with me… Future World

We feel touched by nostalgia through this photo, having had Cousin Duke with us for many fun walks that are getting rarer as time passes.
He is still a happy sweet fellow, though limited now in his mobility, and is with us for a couple of days, so we should have a photo or two more to show in future of his visit.

I built this when lockdown first started in 2020. I was deep in university work at the time and wanted to make something that would bring me a lot of joy as well as something that would act as a great stress reliever. This project ended up being exactly that. Star Wars bases are cool, they are something I love seeing in a variety of Star Wars video games. I think from the games I played in my youth there is an element of that really etched into my love of Star Wars. So this MOC doubles as being a fun and cool thing, but also a symbol for an aesthetic aspect of Star Wars that I've always loved.
I also built this to be used in a homebrew Star Wars TTRPG I have made that my friends and I are playing currently, but the narrative changed from early drafts of the story and this was unfortunately written out... but it will for sure be used in future games ;)
Enjoy!
