The Iron sights on my Lego G36c. I Did make a Acog sight for it, but the gun looks hilarious with it equiped! Speaking of which, I should get a pic of that....
Anyway, I'm making more sights and other tactical equipment presently.
Chase Thomas, a local citizen from the Farmville, Va., area, looks down the barrel of an M-240 Medium Machine Gun that was mounted on a UH-1 Huey helicopter as part of a static display during the Marine Corps Community Day at Farmville Municipal Airport Jan. 14, 2012. The 24th MEU organized the event as part of their Realistic Urban Training exercise (RUT) to thank the community and highlight the capabilities of the Marine Air Ground Task Force. The RUT exercise is scheduled from Jan. 5-20, and is meant to allow the Marines to conduct off-base training near the town of Farmville to prepare for their upcoming deployment.

Shooting through Longbridge, Rail Operations Group Class 37s 800 and 884 race towards the Camp Hill Line, working the return leg of the "Class 37/8 Thrash Bash" railtour (down on TOPS as 1Z38 Worcester Shrub Hill-Derby, via the Camp Hill Line, the Sutton Park Line, Soho Jct, Birmingham New Street, Nuneaton and Leicester). What a fantastic sight!
These six photos are an attempt to capture and analyze The Lady and the Unicorn tapestries that can be found in the Musée national du Moyen Âge (aka Musée de Cluny) in Paris, France.
The Lady and the Unicorn (French: La Dame à la licorne) is the modern title given to this series of six tapestries woven from wool and silk in the style of mille-fleurs (thousand flowers) around the year 1500 in Flanders and woven from designs ("cartoons") drawn in Paris. Perhaps there was another title back in the Middle Ages but the tapestries were lost for many years and then rediscovered in 1841.
Each of the six tapestries depict a noble lady with the unicorn on her left and a lion on her right; some include a monkey in the scene. Among other things, the tapestries represent the five senses. Each tapestry is usually referred to by the sense it depicts (Taste, Touch, Smell, Sound, Sight), while the sixth tapestry, which either introduces or concludes the series, is known as À Mon Seul Désir (To My One Desire) because of the words woven into it.
The tapestries can be interpreted several ways. The most popular goes back to an old folklore that the unicorn was so wild it could only be tamed by a virgin. There was a medieval belief that if a virgin sat in the woods, then a unicorn would happen by and be seduced by the virgin. Once the unicorn had surrendered to the virgin the animal would lay its head in her lap.
There are many more interpretations. One that is also fascinating and a bit less abstract than finding the unicorn seduction theory in these tapestries is that they are about the relationship between the Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ. This theory is based on the fact that throughout the Middle Ages Unicorns have been identified as a symbol of Christ by Christian writers. That “Unicorn as Christ” interpretation is far more obvious when viewing “The Hunt of the Unicorn” tapestries at the Cloisters in New York City because the association with the Passions of Christ is easy to see.
But one interpretation that can be heard both in Paris and New York is that the tapestries are about “a woman renouncing the physical world of the senses for the spiritual world.” Speculation is that both might have been wedding presents and perhaps the storyline is all about a girl going from childhood toys to raising a family.
As dawn breaks over northern Norway on 12 November 1944 RAF Avro Lancasters in a loose 'gaggle', each carrying a 12,000lb 'Tallboy' bomb, sight their target from 20 miles out: the German battleship Admiral von Tirpitz in Tromso fjord. The aircraft, from 617 Squadron and 9 Squadron, had been modified with their mid-upper gun turrets removed to save weight, and extra fuel tanks installed, to make the long trip from Scotland. Three bombs hit the ship and others exploded nearby: it rolled over and settled in the shallow water, drowning almost 1,000 men.
Note: those familiar with the mountain topography of northern Norway will not recognise the exact location, which owes more than a little to artistic licence.

What a special sighting. Australia's Pied or Banded Monarch, Arses kaupi, is also known as Pied, Black-breasted or Kaup's flycatcher. This adult male was part of a small family group with chicks just out of the nest in a nature refuge forest near Wondecla, Atherton Tablelands, Queensland.

This is such a rural image - what more could you ask for beautiful weather and some perfect models :D
Since 2008, and started by students, Pepperdine University in Malibu, California has staged the Waves of Flags display for Patriot Day. Each flag represents one of the lives lost in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The sight of nearly 3,000 flags perched on their lawn is at turns inspiring yet heart wrenching.
As with most, I vividly remember how I found out about 9/11 and the shock I felt as it unfolded. While driving in to work, I listened intently to what was ordinarily a goofy early morning comedy show on a rock station. They weren't very goofy this morning. It was a whirlwind of panic, confusion, shock, and more as they reported on things that they heard, some true, some rumor.
When I heard that an airplane had crashed into the World Trade Center, I initially assumed it was something like a small Cessna, and that it had been an accident. But of course, as it unfolded, I realized this was not what had happened.
My friends and family in New York were gobsmacked. Panic, confusion, shock, defiance, fear. Their emotions swung wildly in the weeks that followed. Many of us also felt patriotism, anger, sadness, and/or xenophobia as well.
The attacks have left an indelible mark on our nation's psyche. As with most Americans, I subconsciously divide our country's timeline into before and after 9/11.
I had this idea. I would wake up early, drive to Pepperdine University in Malibu, and photograph the flags in the glorious morning light.
The fog had other ideas.
Still, I figured I would try to make lemonade out of lemons. I needed to be flexible. I decided to photograph using some of my more unusual lenses, including the Lensbaby Sweet 35 and my Rokinon 12mm fisheye. And given the fog, I decided that it might look better in black and white.
