Known as the memorial to an unknown sailor. This image was taken in 2006 when all was quiet & peaceful there , in this lovely city. Now this image has very unpleasant overtones ,as this nation is fighting for its very existence.

I am not the author of this picture. This picture made a war correspondent covering the event on the front during the Russian aggression against Ukraine. This photo is placed on the stand, who talks about fighting in eastern Ukraine.
The war against Ukraine organized by the Russian leadership to seize its territories.

And Kratos, cast himself from the highest mountain in all of Greece…. and found himself face to face with a woolly Minotaur. Let’s be honest we all feel bad for the Minotaur, but hey, plenty of green orbs! A little MOC I built in anticipation for the new God of War on PS4. Enjoy!
Aftermarket parts are from Brick Forge, Brick Warriors, and Cape Madness (Swoop Skirt on Kratos, though I modified the skirt to give it a torn look). Also, I used faux fur to give the Minotaur a more realistic appearance.
War-huh
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
War-huh
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Yeah
War-I despise
'Cos it means destruction
Of innocent lives
War means tears
To thousands of mothers how
When their sons go off to fight
And lose their lives...

When there was a lull in the fighting on the front in the war between Finland and the Soviet Union, soldiers made this kind of wooden boxes.

Translation:
Ukrainians are pawns on the geopolitical chessboard - and Germany is a war party.
War strategists are driving Europe to war!
When I was invited to contribute a MOC to the Comic Bricks art show at DesignerCon 2014, I knew instantly what comic I'd use. I read this ravenously as a kid, and holding it again was a genuine pleasure. Took three days, but it's finally done!
I pretentiously blogged myself too, what an egomaniac bricknerd.com/home/star-wars-1-6-2014
UPDATE: Someone actually purchased this at the show. It was mine for only a day. I have mixed feelings.
So many men were slaughtered in Civil War battles that their remains are still being found on battlefields over a century and a half later. Even when battlefields are not now recognizable as such. (I have mentioned previously that the house I grew up in sits atop what was a Union battery, and its bones, during the battle of Corinth. That's Mississippi, not Greece, though the latter saw its carnage as well. Almost exactly two millennia previously.)
Tourists at Gettysburg recently discovered a young soldier, after heavy rains had washed back the little bit of earth then covering his shallow grave. The remains were examined by the Smithsonian, and found to belong to a man about 5 foot 8 inches tall, in his early 20s, who had been shot in the back of the head.
These tragically, foolishly dead are with us, "the devil's own planting... a harvest of death", wrote a superintendent at one battlefield, and they sometimes make us aware.
The devil would have it so.
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!
-Rudyard Kipling

War Memorial in Bowral. Some might find the sun glare annoying & understandably so, but I wanted to try to get the long shadow in the shot as well. Taken with a Hoya Infrared R72 filter.

Great day in the studio....high winds this afternoon so a good day to get creative in the studio! I have been using the Fotodiox 11mm extension tube typically paired with the 80mm f1.7 for most of my watches and tabletop photography. But, I needed to get a little closer and then I would need to move over to my Sony 50mm macro. So, today I received the 20mm extension tube and good golly miss molly this is the sweet spot! I had ordered a bunch of these Star Wars figures off of AliExpress and low expectations but they are actually fantastic!
I framed this particular photo as my cover shot for my company holiday card that I send out...I lay down some text on top and my mockup looks fantastic!
