One of the cooler projects I've been working on lately is an article on C-97s in the Biafran Airlift in 1969. I've interviewed several surviving aircrew and maintainers from the US and Israel and who served with either the Red Cross out of Cotonou, Dahomey or Joint Church Aid out of Sao Tome. The stories these guys have told are some of the craziest flying stories I've ever heard.
HB-ILY, the C-97G on display at the Pima Air and Space Museum, was one of four Stratofreighters operated by Balair on behalf of the Red Cross during the airlift, making two or sometimes three flights a night from Cotonou to Uli, Biafra, delivering food and medical supplies on a long stretch of highway in the middle of the jungle.
I shot this using green and red gels on the lights I used, which combined with the blackness of the night, comprise the three colors of the Biafran flag.
Article due out in The Aviation Historian magazine sometime in 2023.
Not sure when I'll come across such awesome "God rays" again, so here is a B&W print from my photo shoot on Christmas Eve, 2014.

DIA 11. SALVADORES. Represente a cada globo como si fueran esas personas, que a diario me ayudan a sentirme mejor, ya sea con una palabra o un abrazo, una sonrisa, hacen que cuando me caiga, me levante otra vez.
DAY 11. SAVIORS. Represent each balloon as if they were those people, who daily help me feel better, either with a word or a hug, a smile, make me fall when I get up again.

Merry Christmas!! I build the story book about Jesus Birth for children whom like Christmas. :D
"Once upon a time, about 2000 years, a young woman from Nazareth named Mary was visited by an angel named Gabriel. Angel told her that she would have a son named Jesus and that he would be the Son of God. Angel visited her husband Jospeh and told him that Mary would be pregnant from the Lord.
Mary and Joseph arrived in Bethlehem but there were no places to stay. They settled down on the hay in a stable with animals sleeping.
Mary gave birth to Jesus, the Son of God.
The angel told shepherds the good news of the birth of the Savior and Messiah, Jesus Christ. The shepherds immediately went to find baby Jesus lying in a manger.
When Jesus was born, a brand new bright star appeared in sky. Three Wise Men from a far far away countries saw the star to find the new king.
Herod the king of Judah met with the wise men and told them to come back and let him know where the baby king was so that he could go worship him as well. Acutally he had an evil plan to kill the baby.
The wise men followed the star towards Bethlehem and found baby Jesus with Mary. They knelt and worshipped the Savior and gave him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. They then returned home to their countries by a different way."

The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood is one of the main sights of Saint Petersburg. Other names include the Church on Spilled Blood the Temple of the Savior on Spilled Blood and the Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ.
Erected on the site where political nihilists fatally wounded Emperor Alexander II in March 1881, the church was constructed between 1883 and 1907, funded by the imperial family.
Construction began in 1883 during the reign of Alexander III, two years after the assassination of his father Alexander II. The church was dedicated to be a memorial to his father. Estimates suggest that the construction cost 4.5 million rubles. The construction was completed during the reign of Nicholas II in 1907. Funding was provided by the Imperial family with the support of many private donors.
The church is prominently situated along the Griboedov Canal; paved roads run along both sides of the canal. On March 13, 1881 (Julian date: March 1), as Alexander II's carriage passed along the embankment, a grenade thrown by an anarchist conspirator exploded. The tsar, shaken but unhurt, got out of the carriage and started to remonstrate with the presumed culprit. A second conspirator took the chance to throw another bomb, killing himself and mortally wounding the tsar. The tsar, bleeding heavily, was taken back to the Winter Palace, where he died a few hours later.

IN THE YEAR 6527...
There was a battle for dominance between the Lyn-Don Coportation and FlameStorm4000. In the chaos of this new war, Mankind was forced to evolve to a higher mental state just to keep from dying the very INSTANT they were born.
It was in this war that a new AI achieved consciousness after receiving the DNA of MILLIONS of avatars from locations dubbed "AFK Sex Sims." These new beings quickly disposed of both sides of the conflict and began to streamline human evolution to best fit their concept of what avatars were most 'used' in the AFK stimulation houses.
The result is the technological perfection you see before you. A sleek latex dress, perfect for all tasks that involve stimulation of the genital area or changing the code of the global simulation matrix to suit your needs. This suit, in an ironic twist of fate, gave human kind the power necessary to overthrow their Artificial Overlords and reclaim their freedom, but the cost... was too damn high.

To any downed pilot or other friendly caught in a bad place, this would probably be one of the most beautiful sights imaginable. This one's for all those that really do need to see it, not just me.
On this picture from the Solovetsky Monastery you can see the Church of Saint Nicholas to the left and the Cathedral of the Transfiguration of the Savior to the right. Solovetsky Monastery is located on the Great Solovetsky Island in the White Sea, Russia.
The establishment of a monastery on Solovetsky Island began in 1429 when Savvaty and Herman, two monks from Kirillo-Belozersky Monastery, built a hermitage on the almost uninhabited Great Solovetsky Island. In 1436, a year after Savvatys death, Herman was joined by another monk, Zosima, and they founded the Solovetsky Transfiguration Monastery. The monastery quickly grew, extended its producing, commercial activity and become an economic and political center of the White Sea region.
The great flourishing of the monastery occurred in the 1500’s under the direction of Philip Kolychev. Philip was a Moscovite monk of noble origins who left his privileged existence in 1537 to join the Solovetsky monastic community, and in 1547 became its spiritual leader. Under his guidance an ambitious program of construction that transformed the monastery and created several monumental buildings of brick and stone, for example the Cathedral of the Transfiguration of the Savior built in 1558-1566. In the summer of 1566 Philip was called back to Moscow by Ivan the Terrible and was appointed as metropolitan. Philip's resistance to Ivan's misrule led to his exile and execution in 1569. Nonetheless, construction at the monastery continued after Philip’s death, the Church of Saint Nicholas was built in 1577 (razed and rebuilt in 1830-1834).
After the end of the Russian civil war in 1921, the Bolsheviks expropriated the monastery. Two years later, a fire of mysterious origins spread throughout the central stone churches and reduced their interiors to ashes. The monastery was closed down and turned into one of the earliest forced-labor camps of the GULAG during the 1920’s and 1930’s. The Solovetsky camp closed in 1939 and a sea cadet school was opened on the island.
In the 1960s, some restoration work began when the islands were formed into a reserve museum. In the late 1980s, the Church of Russia was allowed to reestablish itself on the islands. The first exhibit concerning the Gulag was opened in 1988 in the Solovetsky Islands, and in 1992, the Solovetsky Monastery was placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. For the Orthodox, the islands are now a place for pilgrimages. A small brotherhood of monks appeared in the monastery again and now it has about ten monks and regular church services are conducted in church and cathedral.

The temple "Savior on Waters" was built in 1911 in memory of the sailors who died in the Tsushima battle of the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905. This battle, which took place on May 14-15, 1905, during the Russo-Japanese War, became the most tragic page in the history of the Russian fleet. The white-stone church stood at the end of the Promenade des Anglais, not far from the shipyards where the Russian fleet ships were born. Over time, the temple became a monument to all sailors who died at sea for Russia.
Unfortunately, in 1932, the Savior on Waters was barbarously blown up. The entire bottom of the Novo-Admiralty Canal in the place where the temple stood was littered with fragments of the mosaics of the temple.
Now the committee for the restoration of the temple "Savior on Waters" is working hard to revive it. The matter is, unfortunately, not close - now the production building of the Admiralty Shipyards is on the part of the foundation of the temple. Therefore, although at one time the church did not have a chapel, the committee decided first, as a forerunner of the revival of the temple, to build a chapel, which will later be organically combined with the revived temple.
