WE177A was a family of UK parachute retarded/free fall nuclear weapons with three distinct variants, designated A, B, C, each of which had a number of delivery and fusing options.
The system was developed to provide tactical low level delivery capability to UK strike aircraft such as the RAF TSR2 and RN Buccaneer, but the B variant was deployed initially, during 1966, on Vulcan aircraft of the RAF V-bomber force, as part of the UK strategic nuclear deterrent. WE177 variants eventually replaced Yellow Sun Mark 2 and Red Beard weapons in the UK inventory. Most UK strike aircraft of the period 1966 to 1998 could deliver all WE177 variants.
WE177A, in its role as a depth bomb, could also be delivered by most UK naval helicopters of the period 1971 to 1991, when that capability was withdrawn. The WE177 weapon system was withdrawn from RAF service at the end of March 1998, and all weapons have been dismantled.
[Orford Ness]
In the Information Centre on Orford Ness.
Orford Ness is a vegetated shingle spit, approximately 10 miles long; it is separated from the medieval port of Orford by the River Alde.
Prior to the C20 Orford Ness was a rarely visited place; the main economic activity was animal grazing on reclaimed marsh land. In 1915 the Armament and Experimental Flight of the Royal Flying Corps (later known formally as the Aircraft Armament and Gunnery Experimental Establishment) established a flying field on King’s Marshes to the west of the ditch, now known as the Airfield Marshes, serviced by a range of ancillary buildings arranged along a single track known since 1993 as ‘The Street’, on which ran a narrow-gauge light railway which led back to the jetty. Its main areas of investigation were the evaluation and suitability of aircraft, machine guns and gun sights, bomb sights, night flying and navigation, and a huge range of research projects to solve technical difficulties encountered in action. From 1924 the airfield was re-occupied as a satellite station of the Airplane and Armament Experimental Establishment based at Martlesham Heath. During their tenure, a number of structures were constructed on Orford Beach. Due to its remoteness one of the main activities at Orford Ness was the investigation of bomb ballistics; the study of the flight of objects moving under their own momentum and the force of gravity. Other experimental work continued into the inter-war period on Orford Ness. In 1935, a small experimental radar team arrived and conducted experiments that were critical in proving the value of this technology, turning the theory into a practical air defence system. Between 1953 and 1971, the spit was occupied by the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment. Its primary task was environmental testing to simulate the conditions that nuclear weapons and their components might experience during trials and in service use. Here science and high politics merged, with investigations that were crucial to the credibility of the United Kingdom’s nuclear deterrent forces, the cornerstone of Cold War defence policy...
...With the introduction of the WE177 and the Polaris system, there was relatively little new work in prospect and in April 1969 the decision was announced to close Orford Ness and to move many of its functions to Aldermaston. The last trial took place on 9 June 1971and the establishment closed on Friday 1 October 1971. On 24 July 1972 Orford Ness formally passed from AWRE to No.2 Explosive Ordnance Disposal Unit of the RAF. In the following decades they worked to clear the range of unexploded munitions and brought other munitions on to the spit for destruction. This work ceased about 1986, although many unexploded munitions still remain on Orford Ness, and some limited work may have carried on here until the early 1990s. Following negotiations with the Ministry of Defence, the National Trust acquired Orford Ness in 1993.

Poole.
Further down Thames Street we reach the Mansion House Hotel, one of several buildings within th old town which illustrate Poole's 'Golden Age'. The house was built in th late 1770's for Isaac and Benjamin Lester, heads of an important merchant family that raded with Newfoundland. The dining room fireplace is decorated with marble fillets of cod as a proud reminder of the source of the family's fortunes. Today the Mansion House is a dining club and Hotel.

CEA were employed by CATERPILLAR Thailand to unload and transfer welding machines & other equipment at their UGM plant in Chonburi.
Assistant Yard Manager Virasak Sriboon began the project by holding a toolbox talk and joint hazard analysis (JHA) meeting with his teams.
Trucks and their cargo formed a queue and one by one pulled alongside a CEA 55 ton crane to begin unloading. The CEA team removed all lashing straps and attached the crane slings to the cargoes. The crane lifted the cargoes on to an awaiting 25 & 15 T forklifts. The forklifts transported the cargo to the Caterpillar storage area, a CEA banksman supervised all movements.
Day 2
CEA teams unloaded cargo crates from 40ft Containers at their respective cargo docks, a 3 ton forklift was used to place the crates on wooden pallets for easier storage, once again the cargo was transported to the storage area.
All scrap material left over from the project was cleared for disposal. Flat rack containers used in the operation were stacked on to one lowboy trailer. General housekeeping was carried out in the working areas.
All CEA equipment was demobilized and readied for transport back to the operations base in Laem Chabang.
The Eden Project is a visitor attraction in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. Inside the artificial biodomes are plants that are collected from all around the world.
The project is located in a reclaimed Kaolinite pit, the complex is dominated by two huge enclosures consisting of adjoining domes that house thousands of plant species. The domes consist of hundreds of hexagonal and pentagonal, inflated, plastic cells supported by steel frames. The first dome simulates a tropical environment, and the second a Mediterranean environment.
Aiden is still firmly attached to Ellie and Blankie. We're not ready to take them away from him yet, but maybe after he's completely potty trained.
My submission for the Utata Iron Photographer 132 project.
Required elements:
a mirror
a toy
cross-processing
Strobist Info:
SB-600 to right at 1/100 with diffuser cap to light up border of the mirror
SB-600 in mini-softbox to left at 1//32 to light up puppets.
I shot one shot with the white puppet, then a second shot focused on the black puppet's reflection and cloned the black puppet's reflection into the white puppet's mirror. I used two different cross-processing techniques in Nik Color Efex Pro 3.0. One was C04 and I don't remember what the other was. The cross-processing filters dropped the blacks too much in the black puppet's clothing. I should have it that area up more.
obviously cheated a bit.... but i have been wanting to work this one (and too busy, ok lazy, to shoot this week.) So shoot me!

A piece from my new project: Skin
The project is meant to capture both the flaws and damages of human skin along with the ability of it to spring back to life and keep moving forward. Hopefully this provides a more in-depth look at the flaws and wonders of human beings as a whole.
My husband's grandmother gave me this beautiful pink sweater for Christmas several years ago. This is not a color I normally wear but I adored this sweater, it is so soft and feminine. Unfortunately, tiny little holes have ruined it but paired with a vintage pillow case and some embroidery this sweater will continue to be loved. I decided to include my girly girl in this project to make it a multi-generational heirloom.
For this project I used the following mediums: Photography, Illustrator, Drawing, and Photoshop. To start off I created the flowers by hand using color pencils and uploaded them to Photoshop and made modifications to them. Along with that I uploaded a colorless sketch of leaves that I made. The chameleon was done within Illustrator. The leaves were found around Milwaukee and also were some pictures that my roommate took at a garden show which I asked for permission to use. The hand within the photo is my hand. To start off I believe a chameleon is a signifier of color it adapts to its environment based on mood, temperature, and or surroundings. I wanted to make the chameleon blend in to its environment which is green while making it different thus why it was done in Illustrator to signify that it’s not supposed to be part of the environment. Next I wanted to make some color pop out within the environment that looked different so I colored in flowers and then modified it a bit within Photoshop to give it a little more character and also stay with the theme of collaboration. For the bottom I added my hand along with a blank sketch to represent construction of the piece along with curiosity of what is to come. Along with that I added drop shadows to most of the things presented to give more of stance that it is popping out and actually there.
When it came to the 4 themes I incorporated collaboration by the use of different mediums (digital and physical) with follows they were drawn then modified (erased/morphed/color changed) within Photoshop. Curiosity would be incorporated with the idea that there is an animal within in the scene that sort of blends in the environment. Community with the sake that its incorporating different mediums the hand can be a signifier of community. Contrast by the use of drop shadow and stokes to distinguish each medium and object. Discovery by the environment that is portrayed within the Illustration, there is a lot to discover within a jungle.
VISUAL LIBRARIES - Leave your Mark.
A collaborative, visual project which encourages you to sign out a Visual Library Book and ‘Leave Your Mark’.
A Visual Library Book is whatever you want it to be, a sketchbook, a journal, a diary, a notepad.
You can ‘Leave Your Mark’ in whatever way you want, ranging from drawing, writing, sewing, adding photographs, markings, printing and sticking. How you make your marks is entirely up to you. All we ask is that you have fun with the different themes. Just borrow it on your library card with other books and materials. If you are not already a member, just ask the staff to help you.
45 Visual Library Books have been placed in Portsmouth Central Library and each has its own theme ranging from; Portsmouth, My City, When I Open My Eyes, Whilst I Was Waiting, Love, What’s in My Pocket and Memories. The intention is for you to feel free to explore the Visual Library Books and choose a theme that you like.

Talked into working the dreaded night shift, everything had played out pretty much the way I'd expected it to. If it could go wrong. It went wrong. An hour after closing, the place was emptied out, but I was still stuck there dealing with a broken down car in my third bay.
Anybody wanna guess who's car it was? Cough, cough, Calamity.

Memoria Project
Veterans Park, Highland, New Jersey
Stephen Shaheen's Memoria Project features two figures carved from granite, a design inspired by Roman architecture and the Twin Towers.
A decade in the making, this past autumn, Shaheen's labor of love, titled the "Memoria Project"-13-foot marble sculptures surrounded by granite blocks engraved with all 2,987 names of those who lost their lives to the Evils of Islam in the tragedy-was dedicated in a waterside park in Highlands, NJ, 10 minutes from the small town of Rumson, where Shaheen grew up.
Took some photos of my beautiful friend Sarah today. Thought I’d start branching out from street photography and into portraiture. I used a verity of cameras today, but sadly haven’t developed all the film yet, I’m not god sorry. So here are just two images that I’ve taken of that shot. so check them out here abwatson.com/project-1001-sez/
Thanks again Sarah.
I've wanted to start a 366 day project for a while now , so I've decided to do it as a new year resolution. I've started a little late , but I'll just finish a few days later than everyone else.
I'm going to try and post a picture every day for a year , I hope I can do this.
I got these cute little bear candles as a present for Christmas and I didn't think i'd ever use them , but I decided to get some pictures of them.
