I took this photo on the streets of Copenhagen and after some internet research it turns out the piece is the work of Danish artist Marianne Jørgensen. It was created after she requested that knitters from all over the world send her knitted pink squares. She then filmed the process of stitching these squares together over the top of a WW1 tank as an artistic criticism of the Danes involvement in Iraq. It's very striking I'm sure you'll agree and it's certainly generated a lot of interest.
Thanks especailly to flickr user gillicious who picked up on the picture first and posted it to boing boing. The end result of this has been that it is to be printed in the Australian craft magazine Yarn! Link here
Adjusting to urban warfare, the Imperial Assault Tank lent a hand for the clearing of buildings and troop support. The tank features an opening compartment for the driver, hatches for the engine and power cell, and a side-mounted rocket.
This tank is not mentioned anywhere in Star Wars, rather it is a variant I have produced based off of the Rogue One trailer.
Feedback is highly encouraged!
Later mines often used cyanide to leach gold from crushed ore. When the cyanide was used up, they just dumped it on the ground, often creating mounds and rivers of it. The light colored dirt in the center right is used cyanide. After some time, it become inert.

Special:
- Cadillac was formed from the remnants of the Henry Ford Company when Henry Ford departed along with several of his key partners and the company was dissolved. With the intent of liquidating the firm's assets, Ford's financial backers, William Murphy and Lemuel Bowen called in engineer Henry M. Leland to appraise the plant and equipment prior to selling them. Instead, Leland persuaded them to continue the automobile business using Leland's proven 1-cylinder engine. Henry Ford's departure required a new name, and on August 22, 1902, the company reformed as the Cadillac Automobile Company.
- The Cadillac automobile was named after the 17th century French explorer Antoine Laumet de La Mothe, sieur de Cadillac, who founded Detroit in 1701.
- Cadillac was purchased by the General Motors conglomerate in 1909. Cadillac became General Motors' prestige division, devoted to the production of large luxury vehicles. In the United States, the name became a synonym for "high quality", used in such phrases as "the Cadillac of watches," referring to a Rolex. In English usage outside North America, other brands are used in such phrases - usually Rolls-Royce.
- The Cadillac line was also GM's default marque for "commercial chassis" institutional vehicles, such as limousines, ambulances, hearses, and funeral home flower cars. The latter three of which were custom built by aftermarket manufacturers: Cadillac does not produce any such vehicles in factory.
- The original Series 62 was designed by Harley Earl, inspired by the space program and the era of jet engines. For the ’55 models, he introduced its unique rear-deck styling and outrageous new “Shark Fin” tail fins usually called “Rocket-Ship” tail fins.
- The name "DeVille" is from the French "de la ville" or "de ville" meaning "of the town".
- It came standard with knobby, P-38 inspired tail fins, radio, electric windshield washers, heater, leather interior, full carpeting (also in the trunk area), power seats and power windows.
- This Cadillac was built for comfort and not for speed: it’s a real cruiser and could carry six individuals comfortably.
- The 1956 Cadillac Series 62, with its new gadgets like the head lights would turn on at dusk and were also capable of switching from high beam to low beam when they sensed oncoming traffic, was available as this 56-6237 2-door Sport Coupé, as 56-6239DX 4-door Sedan DeVillle (41,732 units built), as 56-6219 4-door Sedan (26,222 units built), as 56-6237DX 2-door Coupé DeVille (24,086 units built), as 56-6267SX 2-door Eldorado Seville Coupé (3,900 units built), as 56-6267S 2-door Eldorado Biarritz Convertible (2,150 units built) and as 56-6267X 2-door Convertible (8,300 units built).

During the last minutes of sunlight yesterday, this interesting consist appeared at Ft. Mudge. The train is headed towards Waycross with six engines and a string of tanks in tow, here seen shortly before Braganza siding.
Purple hosta glows,
Sun-kissed leaves in summer's light,
Friendship's warmth abounds,
Nature's hues in harmony,
Shared under the sunny sky.
Found an old abandoned tank near my home town :D Nature takes it back! Taken with a6300 and my cheap but great vintage lens Vivitar 28mm f2.5.

This was a still-life set-up that I took a close-up of and then processed in Topaz Software to make it appear authentic. It involved two plastic model tanks set up inside a lightbox.

With all those treads I got I figured it'd be a real shame if I never built a tank, so I built a futuristic-e tank.
Heavily inspired by Erik.
I defiantly plan on revisiting this tank and giving it other features, perhaps making another tank altogether...I do have enough treads.
Just over 6,100 feet worth of empty ethanol tanks are handled in CP's 687 train just west of Reeseville, Wisconsin. Love this late December low sun.
I should point out that I'm using a Sigma 150-600mm Contemprary lens, hand held. This is amazing glass.
