Powerfully emotive bronze sculpture positioned at the front of the National Art Gallery of NSW in Sydney.
It is one of a pair, the other being The Offerings of Peace. Both by British sculptor Gilbert Bayes (1872 – 1953).
In 1915, after the outbreak of World War I, Bayes submitted to the National Art Gallery a pair of 18 inch bronzed plaster figures entitled Offerings of Peace and Offerings of War and the following year he received the commission to produce large bronze versions to flank the museum's main entrance. They were finished in 1923 and installed in 1926.
Both are allegorical sculptures. War holds a staff, a bundle of swords and broken spear shafts.
This statue stands 4. 2 m in height and weights 6 tonnes.

On the side of a huge square rock on Breakwater falls is this rock cap fern just clinging to life. It's only a couple inches wide. Check out that all the fronds are producing spores - I guess when under pressure, life goes all out!

I haven't been really active these days, I'm sorry!!!
This is my first attempt with infrared and sea. It gives an effect similar to the 10 stops ND, plus some nice tonal shifts if you include greens, such as I did in this one.
Thanx a lot for the great appreciation comments for my previous upload!
The shot
This was shot one the little promontory you can see on my last upload.

Another squirrel that fled from me. At a safe height, however, it paused to look down at me and scold loudly
Corfe Castle occupies a key strategic position on a chalk mound in the Purbeck hills, just inland from the Dorset coastline.
There has been a castle on the site since 900AD, but the oldest surviving parts of the current structure date back the 11th century when a stone hall and inner bailey wall were built just after 1066, but the castle was captured and destroyed by explosives after a siege during the English Civil War in 1645.
Following the destruction of the castle, the owners chose not to rebuild it but instead built a new house at their other nearby estate in Kingston Lacy, leaving the castle abandoned. The locals took advantage of all the unwanted masonry, windows, doors and other items to build houses of their own in the village!

I was seriously late the game on this storm. But I was never out of the game. I had missed a few of the other tornados that afternoon in Northern Yuma County. Coming from south to north I had to position myself correctly. Chaser Convergence was also in full swing so there were not may open areas to choose from.
For best pics of a Tornado and to be safe about it a storm such as this was moving North by Northeast... strategically, you want to be to the south east, southwest for the best light... Behind the RFD (Rear Flank Downdraft) It's all about timing, and I honestly didn't think it would produce a tornado til it was well west of my location. That was going to be the wrong guess... Though when I went due north of Wray I had a good viewing point but not in the safest location as you see.
I got lucky this day as...In my opinion, I found a perfect view, looking due south southeast. I ended up on the northwest side of the rotation. Dangerous yes...but this will eventually give me one excellent view of this tornado and all her glory.
Staying as safe as I could I wouldn't bail till it was about a mile away then I would head north again to a safer / better viewing position.

Greetings Everyone, I haven't posted many new pics since last chase season and the 2020 Severe Weather Season is upon us. Looking for our first set of storms in the coming weeks and I'll be streaming live and of course some of the best storm photography one could ask for.
2020 Update...I've been revamping how I do things. One of those things is to go back and correct how I did my post processing of images. Several Years of over Colorizing over Saturation Adding color... etc. Yes I'm guilty of doing so and I have been going back and replacing thousands of images in hundreds of sets over these past few months here on Flickr my Fine Arts America Site.
The May 7, 2016 Colorado Tornado Event was by far one of my favorite chase days to date. I was able to capture the full genesis of a tornado. From birth to death. It was a quest of mine to do this in a photography medium. Epic severe weather structure, like once in a lifetime structure to capture. But post processing was a nightmare. The images came out well ... Defined but over colored over saturated etc.
Instead of replacing the images this will be a whole new set with a few hundred new images that I didn't post on the original set back in 2016. I've thought about re-editing these images for a long time and they are finally done. No Altercations what so ever. No Added Light, Color, Contrast.
I've brought them directly from RAW. Simply the way I should have done it in the first place!

The Afsluitdijk provides a road link between the provinces of Friesland and North Holland. Since North Holland was part of Vesting Holland ("Fortress Holland"), the national redoubt of the Netherlands at the time, and control of the sluices in the Afsluitdijk was necessary for planned defensive inundations in case of a military invasion, Kornwerderzand was considered strategically important by the Dutch government. From 1931 onwards, fortifications consisting of seventeen casemates and three bunkers were constructed. The position was manned with approximately 220 troops in 1939.
During the German invasion of the Netherlands in World War II, the Kornwerderzand position was defended by Dutch troops. On May 13 and May 14, 1940, the fortifications were attacked by the German first Cavalry Division, while the Luftwaffe attacked supporting Dutch naval units. The German troops, initially lacking support by heavy artillery, were unable to take the position. The fortifications also withstood attacks by dive bombers. The next day the Dutch military in the Netherlands (except for the province of Zealand) surrendered, and the battle ended with the surrender of the position.
In 1943, the occupying German military improved the defenses by building three additional bunkers.
Nowadays, some of the fortifications can be visited as part of the Kazemattenmuseum ("casemate museum").

New Years Day 2009 at False Kiva in Utah's Canyonlands. As I imagine is usual at this spot, we had the place entirely to ourselves.
For fear of breaking our necks in the dark on the climb back up, we left just as the sun dipped below the horizon. It developed into one of the most spectacular sunsets I've seen. However, I don't regret not getting the False Kiva in the sunset so much, as really this is about the ancestral Puebloan structure, not the sunset - probably best not to get the two mixed up too much.
I'll be posting more shots from this trip over at my web-site.

So many photos of this place, but at different times of day and at different times of the year, this place blooms new opportunity...
Yarramundi is a suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Yarramundi is located 69 kilometres west of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the City of Hawkesbury.
The suburb is named after Yarramundi, an Indigenous Australian of the Boorooberongal clan of the Darug people. He was a garadyi or 'doctor' and was called by Europeans 'the chief of the Richmond Tribe'.
This area was previously known as Kearns Retreat.
Tempers flare at nature’s trough as many birds vie for prime positions when food becomes available. A female Passerini’s Tanager barks fiercely at a Palm Tanager, warning it to stave off and wait its turn. These skirmishes are short lived and the birds rapidly give way to the next in line after gobbling up a few bites of the plentiful plantains. The delicate but closest living relatives of dinosaurs still possess attitudes that I imagine were plentiful in millennia past, and angry birds are the dinosaurs of the modern day. #AngryBirds

Parrots are one of the most colorful members of the entire bird kingdom. They can be cute and cuddly, and sometimes, simply awe you with their majesty and elegance. Parrots have many sub-species. Macaws, cockatoos, cockatiels and budgies are some examples. They are often referred to as winged rainbows...
Thank you for your views, comments and faves...
