The Inveraray War Memorial is to be found on Cross Green, Front Street, Inverray on the harbourside south of the A83. Quoted from the 'Roll of Honour' website.
The War of The War of 1812 was a conflict fought between the United States of America and the British Empire, from June 1812 to February 1815.
In 1812, Britain's Royal Navy was the world's largest with over 600 cruisers in commission and some smaller vessels. Most of these were involved in blockading the French navy and their allies and protecting British trade against French privateers. The Royal Navy still had 85 vessels in American waters, counting all North American and Caribbean waters.
Located at Mill Pond Meadow in the outskirts of Featherstone is a different war memorial. 353 simple crosses, each representing a member of the local community who didn't return home after the First World War make for a permanent memorial. Each cross has a tree that has been planted at its side. Watching over these memorials is a huge steel War Horse.
The site provides a lovely place to visit, reflect and hope for peace.
The first thing that catches your eye here is the absence of lively groups of students running from one building of the institute to another or sitting on benches between lectures and noisily discussing something... War changes everything...

Designed by local architect John Ellis, Stonehaven’s landmark War Memorial was unveiled in 1923. It has the deliberate appearance of an ancient ruin, to signify the many shortened and ruined lives caused by the First World War.
Have been concious that I've been neglecting my pinhole work recently so here's one from nearly a year ago.

A selection of photos from a trip to Torridon in the North West Highlands of Scotland in early Spring 2023.
Having somewhat exerted myself the previous day, humping ‘the big camera’ around the Loch Maree Mountain Trail, I decided, since it was such a beautiful day, to have a nice gentle stroll down by Loch Coullin.
I, unintentionally, ended up doing a full circuit with the Canon gear again. Ah well, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, right?
Can you spot the young person swinging from a branch?
With the very late Kiddy to Bridgnorth service 4498 heads along Tenbury wall with a matching rake of teaks, I've never seen many grown men jump up and down having bagged this one in full sun. April 2022.
... als E10 228 auf ihrer Schwarzwaldrundfahrt unterwegs war.
Am 13. Januar 2024 unternahm die Eurovapor einen Ausflug ins benachbarte Ausland. Von Zürich kommend kam man mit Re 4/4 bis Konstanz, ab dort übernahm E10 228 den Zug, über Donaueschingen und Titisee ging es nach Freiburg. Nach einem Aufenthalt ging es über Offenburg und die Schwarzwaldbahn zurück nach Konstanz, wo wieder die Re 4/4 den Zug nach Zürich übernahm.
Auf der Hinfahrt konnten eine handvoll Fotografen diesen frostigen Anblick auf den Chip brennen als DPE 74310 (Konstanz - Freiburg Hbf) bei Gutmadingen soeben den Wartenberg passiert hatte.
This building was a little luckier. It remained standing, but all of its windows were blown out. The shattered windows are often boarded up with plywood as a temporary measure. If residents cannot afford to replace them with new double-glazed windows, they may have to continue living like that—in apartments with little or no natural light. And when winter comes, those apartments will be unbearably cold as well.
Note: The location of the building has been indicated approximately.
After the stress of yet another round of confrontation between my country and Iran, I just had to escape — to those places I love, where I can be alone with the universe, in peaceful silence, and admire and photograph the eternal beauty of the night sky.
I set myself a goal: to capture a panorama of the Milky Way over the desert. And maybe, if I’m lucky, catch a bright meteor — a cosmic traveler racing for millions of years through deep space, only to burn in Earth’s atmosphere and leave a glowing trail in my photo.
And it seems I succeeded — if you look closely at the image, you can spot that very trail.
But… it’s not a meteor.
It’s a ballistic missile, launched at Israel from Yemen. Fortunately, it was intercepted and fell outside the country.
While processing the image, I considered removing it.
But I decided to leave it in — because, sadly, it’s part of our Israeli landscape too.
I truly hope that one day, these missiles will stop falling. On Israel. On Ukraine. Anywhere.
Peace for all — not war!

You probably have come across this term. Wikipedia would give you a variety of definitions and explanations. From the perspective of the UK and, important to clarify, from my own point of view, I would say that what is being talked about is a struggle for power over public opinion and the control of the media. Political interest groups use "hot-button" issues (racism, gender roles, Brexit, immigration, the interpretation of colonial history etc.) as a technique to polarise society and distinguish between "us" and "them". This is not a debate in the interest of truth. It is all about bullying and pushing certain agendas through. In other words, culture wars have intentional consequences. When a public TV channel with critical news reporting is being "privatised" or when the public BBC is threatened with a redrafting of its charter, you know that very likely culture wars are involved.

"We must move quickly. The Jedi are relentless. If they are not all destroyed, it will be civil war without end."

Honestly Order 66 is the saddest part of Star Wars. There was a special bond between the Clone Troopers and their Jedi Generals and they were forced to unwillingly slaughter their brothers in arms.
I was feeling a Star Wars build and this just kinda happened. I wanted to explore new color combos, and I really like the olive green foliage and the dark orange soil. And while I was at it I decided to make this my application to Dark Times.
As previously stated, this is my final build of 2019; my final build of the decade!
Operation Shingle (January 22, 1944), during the Italian Campaign of World War II, was an Allied amphibious landing against Axis forces in the area of Anzio and Nettuno, Italy. The operation was commanded by Major General John P. Lucas and was intended to outflank German forces of the Winter Line and enable an attack on Rome. The resulting combat is commonly called the Battle of Anzio. (Read the article on wikipedia).
Unfortunately, this is only a very small part of the cemetery.

On a whim I went back to Gerty and grabbed a telephoto to 'see what I could see'. This stopped me in my tracks, I felt like a film director in that this scene needed to be put to film so to speak. This shot is of the awesome bridge of the USS Independence and her neighbor the USS Kitty Hawk.
I love this, hope ya'll do too.
