“If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. If sovereign and subject are in accord, put division between them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected.”
― Sun Tzu, The Art of War

“Fosa común” es el nombre que el escultor zaragozano Jesús Gazol ha dado a esta obra que, en homenaje a los Héroes y Heroínas de los sitios, está ubicada en la arboleda de Macanaz, en la margen izquierda del Ebro, al lado del puente de Santiago.
La escultura recuerda el lugar donde yacen miles de zaragozanos que hace doscientos años defendieron la ciudad de la invasión francesa durante Los Sitios o murieron debido a la epidemia de tifus que asoló Zaragoza. La fotografía es un detalle de la obra.
”Se ven pobres mujeres que corren en las calles
como bultos o espanto entre la niebla.
Las casas contraídas,
las casas rotas, salpicadas de sangre:
las habitaciones donde un grito quedó temblando,
donde la nada estalló de repente,
polvo lívido de paredes flotantes,
asoman su fantasma pasado por la muerte.
Son las oscuras casas donde murieron niños.
Miradlas. Como gajos
se abrieron en la noche bajo la luz terrible.
Niños dormían, blancos en su oscuro.
Niños nacidos con rumor a vida.
Niños o blandos cuerpos ofrecidos
que, callados los vientos, descansaban”
Oda a los niños de Madrid muertos por la metralla (Fragmento) - Vicente Aleixandre

Chess is a war game when all is said and done. The aim is to capture the opposing King. Even if the Chinese did not actually invent the rudiments of chess, they certainly seized upon it as a way to strategise for war.
The most famous book on war was also written in China, and it is still studied prolifically today for its applications to situations that involve competition and struggle.
"The Art of War" by Sun Tzu is an enduring classic: “The Art of War (Chinese: 孫子兵法) is an ancient Chinese military treatise dating from the Late Spring and Autumn Period (roughly 5th century BC). The work, which is attributed to the ancient Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu ("Master Sun", also spelled Sunzi), is composed of 13 chapters. Each one is devoted to a different set of skills (or "art") related to warfare and how it applies to military strategy and tactics. For almost 1,500 years it was the lead text in an anthology that was formalized as the Seven Military Classics by Emperor Shenzong of Song in 1080. The Art of War remains the most influential strategy text in East Asian warfare and has influenced both Far Eastern and Western military thinking, business tactics, legal strategy, lifestyles and beyond." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Art_of_War

“All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.” -Sun tzu,

Every couple of years I dust off Sun-tzu's classic Art of War and read parts of the 2500-year-old essay on war strategy in classic Chinese. Some days it is more insightful than others but sadly, it never grows irrelevant.
There is power, discipline, nuance, and flow embedded in the handwritten Chinese calligraphy on the right, bingfa (兵法), the art of war. Can you see it?
This is a photo of the cover page calligraphy of R.L. Wing's bilingual book and translation of The Art of Strategy, published 1988.

Secret #13: A cup of tea can solve all of life's problems! ...but that's not really a secret.
Secret #13-ish: "Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak" is a lesson from Sun Tzu that has served me well in work, school and sport ...but that's got nothing to do with tea. Ha.

As I mentioned in a post earlier that we have a balcony garden and have started to put bird seeds out in our little plate feeder. Whenever I have the time, I get my D500 and the 70-200 f4 to fine-tuning my birding skills. Some of the first birds that came to our feeder were the common house finches. They are very pretty bids to look at and relaxes us with this constant songs and calls.
Recently I have noticed a change in behavior as the winter started to take its hold in southern California. The female finches start to fight off the males any time the male finches get near them while feeding. We often see up to three male finches near the feeder waiting for the females to finish feeding. And occasionally when one of the males get greedy there is a fight with spectacular areal acrobatics. This shot was taken during one of those occasions when a male tried to sneak in while a female finch was feeding, and she fiercely defended her territory.
I have been trying to take advantage of this and get a good shot of the birds in flight. So far, it's not easy as these birds are tiny and fly in a much more erratic manner than the bigger birds. And the most success I have managed is by using either single point or dynamic 25-point AF mode in AF-C servo mode using back button focus. Another trick that seems to help is to use the center point to acquire focus and then reframe the shot for a more pleasing composition.
Abbott Church in Lindon, Colorado
Lost in absence of any modern man-made creations is Abbott Church "near" Lindon, Colorado, whose population is equal to the number of sentences describing the area in Wikipedia (4). Also absent is a no trespassing sign, or a lock on the small but barbed wire fence gate leading up to the church.
The little devil on my right shoulder, named Curiosity, was tempting me to get closer, but I feared resurrecting souls from long ago who rest peacefully in the back of the property, as is evident from the family of tombstones neatly placed and well cared for. Or maybe I hadn't recalled visiting a church surrounded by barbed wire. Nope, I'm pretty sure it was the fear of contracting West Nile Virus from the coven of vampire mosquitoes feasting on a shorts and sandals wearing hairless beast they had never encountered before. Swatting was useless as each time I scored a kill, the bloody carcasses seemingly brought in more.
Realizing my enemy was well versed in Sun Tzu combat tactics, and after enduring 5 minutes of relentless savagery in 95F heat, I sought refuge between pictures in my vampire proof truck, or so I thought. A few determined buggers managed to sneak in, who met their death by either the -32F AC on full blast or the tip of my finger.
Within my mobile coffin I patiently waited for 2 hours until "magic hour" kicked in, only to have a bank of thick clouds and forest fire smoke completely block out the sun. So goes the luck of a photographer. Throughout the 2 hour scratch fest, I never saw one vehicle, and was actually thankful, for I'm quite certain had I been discovered, I would have been mistaken for an Ebola victim.
I shall return in the near future, though better prepared (pants, socks, boots, gloves, flamethrower) and will procrastinate on my departure time to limit interaction with the vampiric mosquitoes. Ironically, getting there was a challenge despite the incredibly remedial road names, such as "R" and "Q". Presumably, when they ran out of letters and creativity, they used numbers, some of which are non-integer. From what I gather, there are only two paved roads in Washington Country, and Abbott Church isn't near either one. You must bob and weave the farm equipment, lost cattle, and tumbleweeds on various dirt roads until you reach County Road 1/4.

A Rainbow Six inspired build, I'm not sure if I like the tiles but I was going for a concrete road/path in eastern Europe (keeping it dk tan just didn't look good either).
Anyway, BF1 just got here (xb1 YANKEE CO) so that's where I'll be once it downloads (I swear to God this better not be like Halo and take eight days ), and to all the 253rd guys out there mission 9.2 ends tomorrow.
As always, C&C is appreciated and TFVAHAGD!

"The traits of the true commander are: wisdom, humanity, respect, integrity, courage, and dignity. With his wisdom he humbles the enemy, with his humanity he draws the people near him, with his respect he recruits men of talent and character, with his integrity he makes good on his rewards, with his courage he raises the morale of his men, and with his dignity he unifies his command."
