Bogota faces empty streets with only delivery services and emergencies allowed to transit during the Coronavirus (Covid-19) outbreak in Colombia as the president Ivan Duque has declared a nation-wide quarantine until April 26. Colombia as of April 11, faces 23 days in quarantine with 2,473 confirmed cases and 80 deaths.
Offenburg the largest city and administrative capital the Baden-Württemberg region of Germany.
It was first mentioned in historical documents dating back to 1148 and Offenburg was declared a Free Imperial City in 1240. The city - except for two buildings - was destroyed by the French during the Nine Years War in 1689.
During the outbreak of the Revolutions of 1848 the "Offenburger Programm" was written and agreed to. It was the first known demand for democracy in Germany. Along with the Carlsbad Decrees, the Offenburger Program demanded basic and human rights as well as freedom of the press and a progressive tax.
During World War I Offenburg was one of the first cities to experience the effects of aerial bombardment, the operations against Offenburg railway sidings.
After the World War II begun members of the Jewish population that had not managed to emigrate were deported to Gurs concentration camp in October 1940 and from there to Auschwitz during 1942. It was only a primary target for many other bombing tactical attacks were flown during 1944 and 1945 against the railway installations.
French Forces entered Offenburg on the 15 April 1945 and from then on Offenburg became part of the French Zone of Occupation until the creation of the Federal Republic of Germany in 1949.
Since the creation of the Federal Republic, Offenburg has continually developed in size, inhabitants, and prosperity. Between 1971 and 1975 eleven adjacent villages were incorporated into the commune of Offenburg and are now an integral part of the city.

After searching the hospital for people, I decided it was enough. "I better go to the cops and tell them about this." I started walking out of the hospital when I heard the moaning sounds I had heard from the night where I had blacked out. The creature was back! I broke off into a sprint into downtown. As I exited the building, I directly noticed that the streets were empty and quiet, which was not normal. But first things first, let's get away from the creature. I kept thinking about those eyes, the mouth and the skin… Everything about it was scary. I turned left and realized it was a dead end. What was I gonna do. I turned around to start sprinting again but something stood in the way. Two of the awful creatures were standing in my path and were closing in on me. I looked around. Nothing except for a few boxes. Suddenly, I heard gunshots. It hit the creature in the head. Then the other creature. I quickly hid behind the boxes, hoping the bullets would not hit me. A few minutes had passed and no more gunshots. I got up and looked around. A man in a police uniform was walking towards me.

Vintage Dutch card. Ed. unknown, luminescent card. Revue Henri ter Hall, with (Johan) Buziau, Piet Köhler and Roosje Köhler. Card coll. J. Köhler, Rijswijk.
Johannes Franciscus Buziau aka Buziau (The Hague, 7 January 1877 - Rijswijk (Zuid-Holland), 3 February 1958) was a Dutch clownish comedian and revue artist. With the outbreak of World War I, he was forced to confine himself to the Netherlands, where from 1914 onwards, he became the crowd puller for Henri ter Hall's First Dutch Revue Company. The Ter Hall Revue was disbanded in 1928.
Pieter "Piet" Hendrik Köhler (Groningen, 28 August 1872 - Oldenzaal, 28 November 1951) was a Dutch comedian, singer and actor with a career that spanned fifty years. Köhler became very well known for his creation Droogkeeltje (Little Thirsty Throat) in the operetta De boemelbaron (Der Juxbaron by Walter Kollo), a role he played for many years with numerous companies. He started as a comedian at fairs and moved to Amsterdam in 1895, where he became a singer. In 1898, he became first comedian with Henri ter Hall's revue company. In 1908, he joined the Nederlandsche Opera en Operette, of which he also became co-director. Later in life, he devoted himself to directing. In 1917, he married the actress Sophie van Dijk (1892-1967). From 1916, Köhler acted in film too, first in the comedy Visschersavonturen (Angelers' Adventures, Johan Gildemeijer 1916), also with Louis Davids. In Op stap door Amsterdam (Theo Frenkel Sr., 1919), he was a country man on a spree in Amsterdam during the ELTA aviation show. In 1924 he was Adrienne Solser's co-actor in the comedy Kee en Janus naar Parijs by Alex Benno. Solser and Köhler had supporting parts as a couple in the dramas Amsterdam bij nacht (Alex Benno, 1924) and Cirque hollandais (Theo Frenkel Sr., 1924). During the sound era, Köhler acted in the remake of Amsterdam bij nacht (Alex Benno, 1937), as well as in the G.B. Shaw adaptation Pygmalion (Ludwig Berger, 1937), Veertig jaren (Edmond T. Gréville, 1938), Morgen gaat 't beter (Frederic Zelnik, 1939), Boefje (Douglas Sirk, 1939), and Ergens in Nederland (Ludwig Berger, 1940).
Roosje Köhler-van Gelder (Ghent, 9 November 1886 - Delft, 25 February 1962) was a Flemish-Dutch actress and revue star. She studied at the conservatory in Ghent. In 1912, she came to the Netherlands. In 1914, she joined Henri ter Hall's revue, where she worked with Johan Buziau. She married the director of the revue, Johan Köhler, in 1915. In 1930, she joined a theatre company with which she went on tour in the Dutch East Indies. This tour was not a success and she returned to the Netherlands in 1931 to join De Nationale Revue. In the 1930s, she was hardly on stage until she was asked by Willem Goossens in 1938 to join his folk theatre company. She worked with him intermittently until 1947. After that, she continued to be seen with a number of theatre companies in The Hague until her seventieth birthday. She also starred in silent films, including Er waren eens drie hoeden... (Willy Mullens, 1918) and Voorbeschikten (Tonny Stevens, 1920).

Its twittering and wheezing song, and flash of yellow and green as it flies, make this finch a truly colourful character.

Greenfinch populations declined during the late 1970s and early 1980s, but increased dramatically during the 1990s. A recent decline in numbers has been linked to an outbreak of trichomonosis, a parasite-induced disease which prevents the birds from feeding properly.

Nothing you see here is real, even though the conversion or the presented background story might be based on historical facts. BEWARE!
Some background:
The outbreak of the war in Europe in September 1939 did not immediately affect the status of the Armée de l'Air in French Indochina because it had the task of defending a wide area of Southeast Asia, including the future Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. And yet its array of airplanes seemed inadequate to perform any kind of real defense against any incursion by an enemy, because there were less than 100 airplanes available to it, all obsolescent or obsolete. In September 1931, Japan invaded and occupied Manchuria. This was an area of northeast China, which encompassed the provinces of Jilin, Liaoning and Heilongjiang. Nearly six whole years later, in July 1937, the Second Sino-Japanese War had begun. As yet, the French colonial authorities were hoping that the Japanese would not be brazen enough to take on the might of a European power. However, it became increasingly likely after the German invasion of Poland in September 1939, since Japan was part of the Axis alliance and thus Germany's ally.
On September 26, 1940, Japanese troops landed in Haiphong, violating a cease-fire which had been signed only the previous day. From the middle of the following month, the French became heavily involved in repelling Japanese army assaults. Following the Fall of France in 1940, Thais perceived a chance to regain the territories they had lost years earlier. The collapse of Metropolitan France made the French hold on Indochina tenuous. After the Japanese invasion of French Indochina in September 1940, the French were forced to allow the Japanese to set up military bases. This seemingly subservient behavior convinced the Thai regime that Vichy France would not seriously resist a confrontation with Thailand.
During the French-Thai War, the Thai Air Force achieved several air-to-air-victories in dogfights against the Vichy Armée de l'Air. During World War II, the Thai Air Force supported the Royal Thai Army in its occupation of the Shan States of Burma as somewhat reluctant allies of the Japanese and took part in the defense of Bangkok against allied air raids in the latter part of the war, achieving some successes against state-of-the-art aircraft like the P-51 Mustang and the B-29 Superfortress. During these times, the RTAF was actively supplied by the Japanese with Imperial Japanese Army Air Force aircraft such as the Ki-43 "Oscar," and the Ki-27 "Nate." Other RTAF personnel took an active part the anti-Japanese resistance movement.
French forces in Indochina consisted of an army of approximately fifty thousand men, The most obvious deficiency of the French army lay in its shortage of armor; however, the Armée de l'Air had in its inventory approximately a hundred aircraft, of which around sixty could be considered first line. These consisted of thirty Potez 25 TOEs, four Farman 221s, eight Loire 130 flying boats, six Potez 542s, nine Morane M.S.406s.
The M.S.406 was a French fighter aircraft developed and manufactured by Morane-Saulnier starting in 1938. In response to a requirement for a fighter issued by the French Air Force in 1934, Morane-Saulnier built a prototype, designated MS.405, of mixed materials. This had the distinction of being the company's first low-wing monoplane, as well as the first to feature an enclosed cockpit, and the first design with a retracting undercarriage. The entry to service of the M.S.406 to the French Air Force in early 1939 represented the first modern fighter aircraft to be adopted by the service, and the type was also used in the French overseas colonies. The M.S.406 was France's most numerous fighter during the Second World War and one of only two French designs to exceed 1,000 in number. At the beginning of the war, it was one of only two French-built aircraft capable of 400 km/h (250 mph) – the other being the Potez 630.
Although a sturdy and highly manoeuvrable fighter aircraft, the M.S.406 was considered underpowered and weakly armed when compared to its contemporaries, esp. over continental Europe. Most critically, the M.S.406 was outperformed by the Messerschmitt Bf 109E during the Battle of France and no serious threat to the German fighter. In less advanced theatres like Indochina, though, the M.S. 406 was a respectable contender, but its numbers were low.
When the French-Thai War broke out in Indochina, the Thai Army was a relatively well-equipped force, consisting of some sixty thousand men, with artillery and tanks. The Royal Thai Navy — consisting of several vessels, including two coastal defence ships, twelve torpedo boats and four submarines — was inferior to the French naval forces, though, but the Royal Thai Air Force held both a quantitative and qualitative edge over l'Armee de l'Air. Among the 140 aircraft that composed the air force's initial first-line strength were twenty-four Mitsubishi Ki-30 light bombers, nine Mitsubishi Ki-21 and six Martin B-10 twin-engine bombers, seventy Vought Corsair dive bombers, and twenty-five Curtiss Hawk 75 fighters.
While nationalistic demonstrations and anti-French rallies were held in Bangkok, border skirmishes erupted along the Mekong frontier. The superior Royal Thai Air Force conducted daytime bombing runs over Vientiane, Sisophon, and Battambang with impunity. The French retaliated with their own planes, but the damage caused was less than equal. The activities of the Thai air force, particularly in the field of dive-bombing, was such that Admiral Jean Decoux, the governor of French Indochina, grudgingly remarked that the Thai planes seemed to have been flown by men with plenty of war experience.
In early January 1941, the Thai Burapha and Isan Armies launched their offensive on Laos and Cambodia. French resistance was instantaneous, but many units were simply swept along by the better-equipped Thai forces, with some French equipment – including some aircraft – being captured and immediately pressed into Thai army service. The Thais swiftly took Laos, but Cambodia proved a much harder nut to crack.
On January 16, 1941 the French launched a large counterattack on the Thai-held villages of Yang Dang Khum and Phum Preav, initiating the fiercest battle of the war. Because of over-complicated orders and nonexistent intelligence, the French counterattacks were cut to pieces and fighting ended with a French withdrawal from the area. The Thais were unable to pursue the retreating French, as their forward tanks were kept in check by the gunnery of French Foreign Legion artillerists.
On January 24, the final air battle took place when Thai bombers raided the French airfield at Angkor near Siem Reap, which quickly fell. The last Thai mission commenced at 0710 hours on January 28, when the Martins of the 50th Bomber Squadron set out on a raid on Sisophon, escorted by three Hawk 75Ns of the 60th Fighter Squadron.
Although the French won an important naval victory over the Thais, Japan forced the French to accept Japanese mediation of a peace treaty that returned the disputed territory to Thai control. A general armistice was arranged by Japan to go into effect on January 28. On May 9 a peace treaty was signed in Tokyo, with the French being coerced by the Japanese into relinquishing their hold on the disputed territories. However, the French (now part of the Axis Forces’ Vichy regime) were left in place to administer the rump colony of Indochina until 9 March 1945, when the Japanese staged a coup d'état in French Indochina and took control, establishing their own colony, the Empire of Vietnam, as a puppet state controlled by Tokyo.
Until then, Japanese authorities heavily influenced the diminishing Vichy French presence in the region and handed over a lot of leftover military hardware to its own allies, primarily the Thai forces. However, there was not much left to be distributed: about 30% of the French aircraft were rendered unserviceable by the end of the French-Thai War in early 1941, some as a result of minor damage sustained in air raids that remained unrepaired. The Armée de l'Air admitted the loss of only one Farman F221 and two Morane M.S.406s destroyed on the ground, but, in reality, its losses were greater and the influence of Japan on the leftover stock was fogged in order to save face. However, even in 1944, single former Vichy French aircraft and tanks were still active in the region, primarily under Thai flag.

The kit and its assembly:
This quick build was created in the wake of the “Captured” group build at whatifmodellers.com and actually is a personal interpretation of someone else’s idea, namely of fellow modeler NARSES who came up with the idea of a captured French M.S. 406 in Indochina under a new Thai flag. I found the idea so weird, yet realistic, that I decided to build one, too.
The model is the very simple but quite acceptable M.S. 406 from Hobby Boss. Externally the model is nice, with recessed panel lines and a basic landing gear. Internally, it is rather bleak, even though it has a full cockpit with a floor, integrally molded seat and even some details behind the pilot’s armor bulkhead. The canopy is a single piece and very clear, but it comes with massive locator bars, so that I decided to keep the canopy closed and added a pilot figure to cover the minimal interior. I was lucky to find a Japanese (though pretty “flat”) WWII pilot in the donor bank, left over from a Hasegawa model. I also gave the figure some seat belts (made from adhesive tape), but the rest remained unchanged – even the original metal axis for the propeller was used. I just replaced the machine gun barrels with hollow steel needles and added a pitot on the wing, which is probably part of the kit but not indicated in the instructions. The same is true for the foldable ventral antenna.
The build was finished quickly, in the course of just a single evening, including the pilot and some overall PSR.
Painting and markings:
My interpretation of a French aircraft in Thai service after the French-Thai War stuck closely to the real world Vichy livery, which was the standard French camouflage in grey/green/brown with light blue-grey undersides (all from ModelMaster’s Authentic Color range), together with a yellow-and-red-striped cowling (a base with Humbrol 69 and red decal stripes added later) and a white cheatline long the fuselage. The tail of French aircraft in Indochina was painted all-red from early 1941 onwards upon Japanese command, because of friendly fire incidents. This was adopted for the model (with a mix of Humbrol 19 and some 73), which is supposed to belong into the 1942 time frame.
As a captured aircraft, the original French roundels were replaced/overpainted with red disks/hinomaru, and then Thai elephant markings added on top. That’s a personal idea, ordnance directly supplied to the Thai forces from Japan had the simple, square “elephant flag” emblem directly applied to the wings and the fin (but no fuselage roundel). The all-red tail was taken over, but I painted the rudder in a dark IJA green, since it would formerly carry a French fin flash. The same green was used to overpaint a serial number on the fin and a former squadron emblem under the cockpit.
The hinomaru come from a PrintScale Ki-46 sheet, and these markings are intentionally a bit oversized, so that they cover well the former French markings and are highly visible. The elephant markings some from a PrintScale Ki-27 sheet, so that the red tone on both sources are very close to each other. The Ki-27 sheet also provided the Thai ciphers “3” and “4”, combined into a “34”.
The interior was painted in medium grey, and the model externally received some signs of wear and tear in the form of dry-brushed leading edges and around the cockpit as well as some soot stains behind the exhaust stubs and the machine guns. Finally, the model was sealed with a coat of matt acrylic varnish (Italeri).
A quick build, and the easy-build Hobby Boss M.S. 406 is certainly not as crisp as a “real” model, but in this case the story behind the weird livery was more in the focus than the canvas underneath. However, an interesting result, and the hybrid paint scheme with heritage from three different operators make the aircraft an unusual, if not exotic sight.
She's waited for this day for many a year.
For this day, for this day.
Our hopes and our pride.
The bride is here.
Sever thunderstorm in eastern Texas Hill Country, April 26, 2011. This year the rains skipped us leading to record heat wave through the summer. In September, 2011, Bastrop, Texas and its famous 'Lost Pines' burned. But before our record drought and heatwave, this storm system developed overhead and raced eastward culminating in the tornado outbreak in which the Tuscaloosa, Alabama twister killed so many and cause so much damage. This was a nasty storm and perhaps our drought was a better fate than not.

Every time I photograph a California beach it's about 7 hours of lounging around and only one hour of work; But with a sight like this can you blame me? :D
This spot in particular is called Panther Beach, and it really was a tough one to find. While driving on the famous CA-1 there are dozens of beaches and most have to be hiked to because you can't see beyond the ocean-side cliffs. I guess even if I didn't make it to the correct beach it wouldn't have mattered because they are all just as gorgeous as the next.

One day when I was wondering what to build I thought I'd make something to put my Hazard suit guys on. I started with working on the creature that is now breaking out. He's one of my favorite little guys so far. I had also recently acquired some of the 9-volt Lego parts so I wanted to include them here as well. I think this took me about a week to build.
