Best Viewed ~ L A R G E . . . . . Port of Los Angeles, California - - (See map) We are in the main LA Harbor channel, heading North. The 128-foot tugboat 'Mikiona' is pushing this 4 million + gallon petroleum barge to a refinery ahead; we must cross under the Vincent Thomas bridge first, then slowly maneuver to port (left), in order to line-up with the channel leading to the refinery.
These huge cranes are the maritime equivalent of an assembly line. Tens of thousands of shipping containers are loaded onto and off of container ships from all over the world. On land, trucks transport the containers. The cargo ranges from appliances to zippers, valued in the tens of billions of dollars in a single year.
These are older cranes; the new, high-tech cranes (blue/yellow) are coming up on the far side of the bridge. This photo was taken on a normal working weekday. The absence of shipping says something about the economy. The side-by-side Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach seem to have taken the reins with many programs to improve the environmental impact. This is also a major cruise liner terminal.
The man with the big responsibility is Capt. Dave Miner. He has to anticipate hazards -- including boats, ships, etc. -- so avoidance takes in the slow reaction time of the 100,000 barrel petroleum barge. Tuggerdave will help me correct any errors appearing here..... mistakes are punished by dancing the hempen jig.

To view more of my images, of Ripon Cathedral, please click "here"
Ripon Cathedral is a seat of the Bishop of Leeds and one of three co-equal mother churches of the Diocese of Leeds, situated in the small North Yorkshire city of Ripon, England.
There has been a stone church on the site since 672 when Saint Wilfrid replaced the previous timber church of the monastery at Ripon (a daughter house of Aiden's monastery at Melrose) with one in the Roman style. This is one of the earliest stone buildings erected in the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Northumbria. The crypt dates from this period.
People have been coming to worship and pray at Ripon for more than 1,350 years. The Cathedral building itself is part of this continuing act of worship, begun in the 7th century when Saint Wilfrid built one of England's first stone churches on this site, and still renewed every day. Within the nave and choir, you can see the evidence of 800 years in which master craftsmen have expressed their faith in wood and stone.
Today's church is the fourth to have stood on this site. Saint Wilfrid brought stonemasons, plasterers and glaziers from France and Italy to build his great basilica in AD 672. A contemporary account by Eddius Stephanus tells us:
"In Ripon, Saint Wilfrid built and completed from the foundations to the roof a church of dressed stone, supported by various columns and side-aisles to a great height and many windows, arched vaults and a winding cloister."
Saint Wilfrid was buried in this church near the high altar. Devastated by the English king in AD 948 as a warning to the Archbishop of York, only the crypt of Wilfrid's church survived but today this tiny 7th-century chapel rests complete beneath the later grandeur of Archbishop Roger de Pont l’Evêque’s 12th century minster. A second minster soon arose at Ripon, but it too perished – this time in 1069 at the hands of William the Conqueror. Thomas of Bayeux, first Norman Archbishop of York, then instigated the construction of a third church, traces of which were incorporated into the later chapter house of Roger's minster.
The Early English west front was added in 1220, its twin towers originally crowned with wooden spires and lead. Major rebuilding had to be postponed due to the outbreak of the Wars of the Roses but resumed after the accession of Henry VII and the restoration of peace in 1485. The nave was widened and the central tower partially rebuilt. The church's thirty five misericords were carved between 1489 and 1494. It is worth noting that the same (Ripon) school of carvers also carved the misericords at Beverley Minster and Manchester Cathedral. But in 1547, before this work was finished, Edward VI dissolved Ripon's college of canons. All revenues were appropriated by the Crown and the tower never received its last Perpendicular arches. It was not until 1604 that James I issued his Charter of Restoration.
The cathedral has a fine organ by Harrison and Harrison dating from 1926. The organ is on the screen and has casework by Gilbert Scott. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register. The organ was refurbished in 2013. These works included a thorough cleaning and repair of all pipe work; selective re-leathering of reservoirs and drawstop motors; reconstruction/rationalisation of the wind distribution system; refurbishment and updating of the screen console and cleaning of the case. The only minor tonal changes during these works were the replacement of Great Larigot 1 1/3 (1972) by a Flûte harmonique 8 (in Lewis style) and the recasting of Choir Cimbel III at a lower pitch.
A ring of 12 bells with an additional 'flat sixth' bell is hung in the south-west tower. A diatonic ring of ten bells was cast in 1932, and three additional bells were installed in 2008 with two new trebles being added to give a diatonic ring of twelve, and an additional 'flat sixth' bell to give a light ring of eight.

And here are the Russians, all unnamed. Bottom left we have a soldier launching a 40mm grenade from a GP25 mounded on an AK47/74/12. By the burnt out Smart Car a Russian soldier fires his generic AR. The guy with the RPG is easily visible, it tough to see, but he took a .50 round to the chest and fired his rocket way off target. And lastly there is the handy work of Clement's AA12. The Russian gunner got his left arm shot off before he could fire his AT gun.

PERSONAL FUN FACT: It's probably hard to tell from this photo, but this is in fact Bitty Bear's hat. I found it, along with a few other Bitty Baby scraps, in a bin of Barbie stuff I got at a flea market in 2012. I haven't used it on display yet for one of my bears, since I don't have any appropriate outfits to use this with. I would absolutely love to find the rest of this set. I have such fond memories of seeing it in the American Girl catalogue when I was younger. I hope one day I can find Bitty's outfit...Bitty Bear's hat would be the harder thing to find in the wild, due to its tiny size.

The 1994 set "Saucer Scout" was one of those simplistic sets I remember as an 11 year old that caught my eye, even though it wasn't the bid robot, or the even bigger robot, or the big saucer thingy.
Lego Space in 1994 was in an odd transition from the "Classic" era to the weird Insectoids, UFO, and Exploriens stuff. Spyrius/Unitron was the last real hurrah before the weirder stuff, and I lost interest (until Star wars.)
The Mk 5 Saucer Scout was a project that largely built itself quickly as a tribute to what was, and what could be with new bricks available today. I sought to honor the original while giving it new life and elegance with our modern bricks. Enjoy!
