A spectacular mural that appears on Carlisle’s City West Walls depicting a Celtic god bearing down on a Roman soldier.
The giant deity is known as Belatucadros and was worshipped in Celtic northern Britain from around 750 BC to 12 BC, particularly in Cumberland and Westmorland.
In the Roman period between 388 AD – 400 AD, he was identified with Mars and appears to have been worshipped by lower-ranked Roman soldiers as well as by Britons.
The magnificent painting took a fortnight to complete by internationally renowned Australian, now Glasgow based artist Sam Bates aka Smug One
This is a genuine Russian cannon from the Crimean War (1853-1856). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimean_War
Today Mr Putin is deploying far deadlier weapons against Ukrainian civilians. Illegal weapons such as Thermobaric and Cluster bombs. All in the name of an illegal war to steal another country.
Mr Putin if you want to save the world from disaster, STOP THIS WAR! Muzzle your weapons like this cannon from the Tsarist era.

This honorary cemetery contains the burials of 1,754 British, Polish and Dutch soldiers who died during the Battle of Arnhem (September 1944 to April 1945). The Battle was part of the allied operation 'Market Garden'.
During the war, many residents were driven from their homes. When they returned home in June 1945, an area full of field graves awaited them. With united forces all the graves were merged into one large cemetery: the Airborne Cemetery.
Omaha, commonly known as Omaha Beach, was the code name for one of the five sectors of the Allied invasion of German-occupied France in the Normandy landings on June 6, 1944, during World War II. 'Omaha' refers to a section of the coast of Normandy, France, facing the English Channel 8 kilometers (5 mi) long, from east of Sainte-Honorine-des-Pertes to west of Vierville-sur-Mer on the right bank of the Douve River estuary and an estimated 150-foot (45 m) tall cliffs. Landings here were necessary to link the British landings to the east at Gold with the American landing to the west at Utah, thus providing a continuous lodgement on the Normandy coast of the Bay of the Seine. Taking Omaha was to be the responsibility of United States Army troops, with sea transport, mine sweeping, and a naval bombardment force provided predominantly by the United States Navy and Coast Guard, with contributions from the British, Canadian, and Free French navies.
The primary objective at Omaha was to secure a beachhead of eight kilometres (5.0 miles) depth, between Port-en-Bessin and the Vire River, linking with the British landings at Gold to the east, and reaching the area of Isigny to the west to link up with VII Corps landing at Utah. Opposing the landings was the German 352nd Infantry Division. Of the 12,020 men of the division, 6,800 were experienced combat troops, detailed to defend a 53-kilometer (33 mi) front. The German strategy was based on defeating any seaborne assault at the water line, and the defenses were mainly deployed in strongpoints along the coast. The untested American 29th Infantry Division, along with nine companies of U.S. Army Rangers redirected from Pointe du Hoc, assaulted the western half of the beach. The battle-hardened 1st Infantry Division was given the eastern half. The initial assault waves, consisting of tanks, infantry, and combat engineer forces, were carefully planned to reduce the coastal defenses and allow the larger ships of the follow-up waves to land.
Very little went as planned during the landing at Omaha. Difficulties in navigation caused the majority of landing craft to miss their targets throughout the day. The defenses were unexpectedly strong, and inflicted heavy casualties on landing U.S. troops. Under heavy fire, the engineers struggled to clear the beach obstacles; later landings bunched up around the few channels that were cleared. Weakened by the casualties taken just in landing, the surviving assault troops could not clear the heavily defended exits off the beach. This caused further problems and consequent delays for later landings. Small penetrations were eventually achieved by groups of survivors making improvised assaults, scaling the bluffs between the most heavily defended points. By the end of the day, two small isolated footholds had been won, which were subsequently exploited against weaker defenses further inland, thus achieving the original D-Day objectives over the following days.

Above the lathe, you can see a child operating rather complex machinery. In fact, children were doing the work of grown men. Children of that time grew up quickly — and just as quickly, they aged and wore out

I wasn't planning on building anything for May 4th but after seeing all the amazing art people where posting for Star Wars day, I couldn’t help myself.
This droid has been on my to-do list for quite some time. They appear in the video game Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order as enemy hired by the imperial inquisitor to hunt down Jedi Kal Kestis (it also appeared in The Force Awakens outside Maz Kanata's Castle).
They are originally used for loading cargo but these units have been reprogrammed and modified by the Haxion Brood crime syndicate for bounty hunting work.
Going way back before even the 2003 animated series, the first appearance of Durge and Asajj Ventress was the comic Star Wars: Republic, and it fuckin rocked. I made some figures (inspired by lego. psycho. figures on IG) based on the versions from the comics.

My entry to Wimbes Scenes of War contest, category is obviously Past ;)
sottotitolo: "A Nettuno 70 anni fa sbarcò anche il baseball......."
Era la notte di un sabato, quella del 22 gennaio 1944, quando il VI corpo d'armata delle truppe alleate, agli ordini del generale statunitense John Porter Lucas, diede vita a quella che venne
chiamata l'Operazione Shingle.....
Nelle retrovie, nei momenti di calma, le truppe si cimentavano in qualcosa di assolutamente sconosciuto. Ovviamente le gesta dei grandi campioni d'oltreoceano del baseball ancora non erano
arrivate in Italia.....
A forza di vederli giocare, i ragazzi del posto però cominciarono ad essere attratti prima, e ad innamorarsi poi di questo sport. Gli americani avevano rappresentato la liberazione da un incubo,
ogni cosa che i giovani di quell'epoca gli vedevano fare appariva ai loro occhi come straordinaria..........

This interesting macro image was captured recently in Keynsham Woods, near to Bristol, England.
The stinging nettle the ant is walking up looks a little like a CND sign! "Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament"

HMM everyone!
Thank you! to everyone who, viewed, commented or favoured my photograph! Cheers!
Peace to all !

2nd print in the bath. Moderate fogging of paper base, hence PS borders.
Pre-dev washing in warm water was a tip from my US Flickr friend Robin, since I previously have had problems with artifacts in homogeneous areas like skies (se below) with this paper, probably due to aged developing agents in the paper emulsion which will be washed away during this process. And I must say that I think it works! Thanks Robin (and Alfred!).
Sweden was "neutral" in WWII. However, we were preparing for the worst. Several "War Airfields" were built and this one (close to where I live) is kept for historical purposes.
It’s been a while since I posted a real moc but here it is, this was built for the Dark Times Group which I highly suggest you check out if you haven’t already. I am happy to say that this is the moc I am most proud of so far! I would love to hear your thoughts on it!
Story:
Arkus Noraga received word from one of his underworld intelligence sources of a possible store of Jedi artifacts on Batuu. The contact provided Noraga with the coordinates of a small insurgent cell located in the hills a short journey from Black Spire outpost. In hopes that the locals that formed the insurgent cell would have more specific information on the whereabouts of Jedi artifacts and the imperial occupation of Batuu, Noraga payed a visit to these rebels. Noraga smuggled with him highly valued weaponry through the imperial forces surrounding Batuu to bring the insurgent group in hopes it would encourage them to hand him the information he needed to have a more than successful business trip on Batuu.
Noraga landed 3 clicks south of the insurgent base and moved in on foot so as not to startle the rebels into any unfavorable decision making. The journey on foot took the smuggler through one of Batuu’s many jungles. As he journeyed north towards the rebel base he noticed several looming petrified grey trees, the ancient giants referred to by the locals as spires. The rest of the vegetation in the jungle consisted primarily of green trees that clung to the rocks and grew up wherever possible, almost encasing everything they could.
After a little under an hour of walking Noraga reached the rebel hideout, after lugging the crate of weaponry onto their platform he noticed that the platform appeared to be constructed from some clone wars era ship or machinery, it was old but sturdy and some of the components were still visible. The rebel base was set back in a rock face, it had the green foliage growing up around and threatening to swallow it, from above it wasn’t surprising that the base was so hidden.
The insurgents seemingly appeared on the platform from around the sides of the outpost, clearly having another secret entryway. Upon their seeing the weaponry and hearing the explanation the smuggler had to give they were more than accepting of his terms, they honestly seemed on board with anything that would cause the empire trouble.
