These are the actual stations from which the very first Tomohawk missiles were fired at the beginning of the first Gulf War. They were fired at Iraqi targets at 01:40 am on 17 January 1991, followed by 27 additional missiles over the next five days.
Seaham war memorial, North Terrace, Seaham, County Durham, North East England. . . Tommy 1101. A sculpture by Ray Lonsdale.. .
A war-weary Tommy sits thoughtfully, head bowed, rifle in hand, as he reflects upon the sheer horror of World War One during the first minute after peace was declared in 1918.
This imposing metal sculpture, entitled 1101, owing to the fact the armistice went into effect at 11am on November 11, 1918, stands 9ft 5ins tall and weighs 1.2 tonnes.
Built out of special corteen steel, it has been installed on Seaham seafront in Country Durham to mark the centenary of the start of the Great War and will remain in place for three months.
Created by local artist Ray Lonsdale, the sculpture is also intended to represent Post Traumatic Stress Disorder which many of the returning soldiers endured. Mr Lonsdale got his idea for the piece after hearing a story about a soldier from nearby Murton who won a war medal.

World War III (abbreviated WWIII), or the Third World War, is a term used to describe a hypothetical conflict on the scale of World War I and World War II, or even larger, such as a nuclear holocaust. Most usages of the term assume the use of weapons of mass destruction such as nuclear, biological or chemical weapons. On rare occasions, actual events, such as the Cold War or the War on Terror, are referred to as World War III.
The term "World War" has only been officially used once during a conflict, and that was World War II. The first World War was known as the "Great War" rather than the "World War"; in the aftermath it was called the "World War" (although the Germans called it a Weltkrieg, or "World War", throughout). Therefore, it may take years before another major time of tension, such as the Cold War or the current War on Terror could be officially recognized as a World War III (or if both are the case, World War III and World War IV). It should also be noted that serious wars, before and after 1914 and 1918 are not included as part of World War I despite international attention, such as the Balkan Wars from 1912 to 1913 and the Polish-Soviet War from 1919 to 1921. The same is the case for World War II, as previous serious conflicts in the world were occurring from 1931 to 1939 such as the Japanese invasion of Manchuria and later China, the Spanish Civil War, the German annexation of Austria (Anschluss), and the occupation of Czechoslovakia, but these events are not considered part of World War II, but only a prelude, despite the severe political instability. Therefore, determining a specific point of where a world war begins is difficult, but usually occurs when a conflict affects large areas of the world, especially through alliances.
During a press conference soon after the start of the 1991 Gulf War, King Hussein of Jordan directly referred to the conflict between the United States and its coalition of allies against Iraq as "the Third World War" but there was no indication of any other world leaders accepting the definition.
Also, the first two World Wars were characteristically total wars involving war economy, massive mobilization, food rationing and tremendous casualties on both sides. World War III might thus be expected to follow that pattern. If so, this would rule out the Cold War and the War on Terror as candidates for the "distinction".

In the centre of a mainly unkempt Ford Park Cemetery Plymouth lie graves of some of the Royal Naval men and boys who lost their lives in the World War 1 conflict. This oasis is beautifully presented and kept. It is a credit to those who look after and maintain it in memory of those who served and perished.

"We Aren’t Regular, We Are Revolutionary."
The swallow harbour depicts the story of the young pilots that flew to Bremen on 4 and 5 September 1942 to bomb aircraft factories there. 251 aircraft left England, but not everyone made the crossing back home during this last flight. The aircraft are represented in the design by 251 nesting holes in a semi-circular stone wall in which swallows can breed. Of these nesting holes, 12 remain closed, which symbolise the number of aircraft that did not return. Sand martins are ‘weather forecasters’ and ‘bringers home’.
Some interesting details. The monument is constructed from English bricks, which fits perfectly into the natural environment of the Alde Feanen National Park. The nest holes are filled with metal capsules with a message. And the material of the capsules consists of the melted down parts of the excavated aircraft. Even the size of the English Lancaster was an inspiration for Nynke Rixt Jukema. The 32-meter wide swallow harbour has the same wingspan as the crashed bomber.
Golondrinas is a living history museum just outside Santa Fe. Each year they hold Civil War reenactments of battles that took place in New Mexico in the 1860s.

The Bulawayo War Memorial was erected after the First World War although I can find few other construction details; I have seen photographs of it online from 1930. After Zimbabwean independence in 1980 and the later decline of the country’s white population, many war memorials were torn down, perhaps rather less so in Matabeleland, but even here this memorial was apparently strewn with refuse and used both by homeless people to sleep in, and as a midden and latrine.
In the last few years it has been beautifully restored with the help of Bulawayo City Council and is a popular, pleasant, and shady place for local shop and office workers to take a break. It stands on Joshua Nkomo Avenue, formerly Main Street, in the heart of the city.

I think this is supposed to be either War Machine or some sort of prototype of him.. I haven't seen this design before. If you have, help me out!
War! As the galaxy reels form the tremendous loss of Jedi warriors on the planet Geonosis, thousands of clone soldiers are deployed on the Republic front to stop the Separatist advance.
Can you spot the mistake? Enjoy :)
On the 15th Day of Lego Star Wars Advent Calendar Boba Fett has a gift for Leia.
To celebrate the old times he gives her a remote controllable scale replica of the Tantive IV.
You may ask why the two of them seem intimate. Well, apparently there is a niche of fan fiction involving the two characters (you never stop to learn new things) and so I had the idea of this image.
After all if we consider how things went maybe Leia should have chosen the Bounty Hunter over the Smuggler lol.
Now that I think about it, that would mean no Kylo! Yes! I love that alternate timeline lol :)
May the Brick be with You :)
I'm sorry but today I cannot continue posting as if nothing is happening. Putin's war in Ukraine is getting very bloody with civilians being targeted. Meanwhile in my own country people in two states are enduring the worst floods in living memory two years after the terrible bushfires. And after enduring the awful frustration of a pandemic. Are we cursed?
And let us spare a thought for the forgotten refugees from the Taliban in Afghanistan. Human rights abuses in Saudi Arabia (they still have public beheadings of infidel - many of them women - in Riyadh every Friday), but Western corporations continue to do business. And where do we start with China's human rights abuses: Tibet, the genocide of the Uyghurs and like in Putin's Russia the "disappearing" of any political opposition.
We weep for the world. It is time for 7 billion people to stand up and say, "No more!" Make these corrupt political leaders quake in their boots. Remember the inspiring revolution against that evil tyrant Nicolae Ceaușescu in Romania in 1989 - the year Eastern Europe was freed from the yoke of Communism. We must not allow it to return. It is time for PEOPLE POWER.
Yesterday I posted this image on my other Flickr page, and I have decided to let people see it here too.
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. Now he threatens nuclear war!
Mr Putin if you want to save the world from disaster, STOP THIS WAR! Muzzle your weapons like this cannon from the Tsarist era.
***BOYCOTT THIS GROUP!**********
I have been banned from a little group called "Worldwide Photography" for posting my opposition to Putin's War in Ukraine. This was just a summary decision announced in this thread.

According to this Admin speaking out against an unjust war is "hate speech". This Admin Putin-lover has even said he will report us to Flickr. If this idiot (Stalin called Western fellow travellers "useful idiots") can't distinguish between a just and unjust cause it shows how deeply flawed and ready for total collapse our Western civilization is. I strongly suggest you boycott this group.
When you check out the Admin's own page you will see it is full of pro-Russian images. www.flickr.com/photos/-eu
I've blocked him as well.
