Technicals played an important role in the 1990s Somali Civil War and the War in Somalia (2006–2009). After the fall of the Siad Barre regime and the collapse of the Somali National Army (SNA), it was rare for any Somali force to field heavy armored fighting vehicles. However, technicals were very common. -Wikipedia

The common warthog is found in much of Africa, below the Sahara desert. They are abundant in East Africa and Southern Africa, with their favourite habitat being grassland, savanna and woodlands. The name ‘warthog’ comes from their large wart-like protuberances found on its face. Technically they are not warts, but rather they are made of bone and cartilage. The male (boar) has two pairs of these ‘warts’ and the female (sow) one pair. Warthogs like to live in abandoned burrows that were dug out by other animals, such as aardvarks or porcupines. These burrows are used for a number of reasons, such as for sleeping, where they raise their young, and a safe place to escape from predators. In order to ensure their safety, and when protecting themselves from pursuing predators, they will slide into a burrow backwards, tail first, so that they can use their formidable tusks to defend themselves against unwanted guests. When startled or threatened, warthogs can be surprisingly fast, running at speeds of up to 50 km per hour!

Bangor City Forest parking area. I walked the trail to the bog's boardwalk in the dark, which was easy enough given the amount of light reflected by the snow. The flashlight was unnecessary. Upon reaching the boardwalk, where I really wanted to shoot the snowy bog landscape, I found it guarded by several gates and signs claiming recording. Unfortunate, but even the parking area yielded a few nice, moody photos.
"The Bangor City Forest, also known as the Rolland F. Perry City Forest, is a large recreation area in Bangor, Maine. The park consists of approximately 650 acres (2.6 km2) and features close to 10 miles (16 km) of hiking, cycling, and cross-country skiing trails. The trail system is well maintained and most trails are packed gravel. Although primarily a recreational area, it is technically a "working forest."
The park has a large parking and picnic area located at the end of Tripp Drive. Additional parking is available at the end of Kittredge Road.
The entrance to the Orono Bog Boardwalk, a one-mile (1.6 km) boardwalk over the Orono Bog, is located on East Trail approximately 0.25 miles (0.4 km) from the parking area. The boardwalk is handicapped accessible." (Wikipedia)

Advance-Design was a truck series by Chevrolet. First available on Saturday June 28, 1947, these trucks were sold with various minor changes over the years until March 25, 1955. From 1947 until 1955, Chevrolet trucks were number one in sales in the United States. (Wikipedia)
Another film shot -- this one from my Mamiya medium format camera. This was taken a few weeks ago. I did manage to take a couple shots with my D300 this past week. The only problem is that I dumped a cup of coffee onto my MacBook Pro on Tuesday (four weeks before my first final). So I'm currently without a hard drive to download my photos onto (and without Photoshop).
Keep your fingers crossed for my laptop.
Always nice to discover some old photos. To be honest, these have been sat on a dodgy disc that has some sort of technical issue and has taken some patience to get "at them". The quality is a bit iffy (think camera was on the way out), but will try to post some of them.
Taken from the entrance of one of the Carlton bus breakers on 20 Mar 2006 are a pair of former Western National/First Devon and Cornwall Mercedes 709s with Plaxton bodies.
Both were allocated to Plymouth depot and their number blinds testify to that. 50908 K608ORL and 50920 K620ORL are wearing variants of the Barbie 2 scheme with the former having the pink vinyl "fades" but the latter wearing the version (common with FDC) without any pink at all.

This Is the start of a series arising from my daily dog walks and seeing how people are reacting and making changes in my suburb due to the distancing and isolation laws and making stories of things I see.
Been really busy these past couple of weeks but just had the time to finish this up. All credit goes to me except for parts of the turret. Inspiration from [Zach B] from his technical.
Hope you guys like it, comments and favorites are appreciated!
What's my biggest fear as an artist? That was a challenge presented the Toy Photographers G+ community for the month of March, so I wrote a whole piece about it! You can read it here!

The last of the 'tool-not-weapon' Toa, this is making use of the fact the Kiril looks like it's another version of Gali's Kaukau. The underlying story is that she's my take on the Toa Helryx character: an ancient Toa leading the fight against the Makuta. Only, my version has a crook rather than a mace. The design is a riff on my Takanuva model.

You might have heard about the Tachikoma project. 10.000 votes and Lego will consider releasing it as a set. Or it would, if the Tachikoma wasn't from a series that features guns and other adult stuff.
Since I'm not going to get this project canceled with 5000 votes already under the belt, here's a rework of the model, so it has no connection to the GitS franchise. (Four-legged robots aren't exactly original to the GitS franchise, ever since mechanicows were invented by Nikola Tesla. But I digress.) This is still a work in progress, but I'd like your input on what should or shouldn't be included in the new model.
TLDR:
Let me know if this is to your taste, and how it can be improved.
