    Royal Navy in the Raj Set !!!!

    This is a really beautiful set. The unusual idea of the elephant disappearing beneath the 'muddy waters' is interesting. I love it.

    Assault on Hougoumont

    Wonderful photos. It gives the impression of a moon lit evening. And Michael Miller will not be claiming your cupboard's empty anymore. Then again, maybe these are you neighbour's army. :D Thanks for getting the camera out.

    What are the Forum members reading

    This spring I was stuck in a far and distant land without TV, the internet, libraries and bookstores but this book was sitting on a shelf: Distant Mirror: The Calamitous Fourteenth Century by Barbara Wertheim Tuchman. I really wanted a detective novel, an easy read, but it was this or...

    Tanks

    I’ve been reading a book about the development of the tank. Years ago I wondered why these armoured vehicles were called tanks. But then my attention shifted to something else, probably a cool beer, and the tank question sank into the mire of my unconscious. Then I got a book titled ‘Tanks from...

    South Africa 2010

    Spain vs Germany Germany never looked like they could win. Spain owned the ball. I was also happy to see relatively little acting/diving from the players on both sides. There are so many cameras now that the fans see it all once, twice, three times with replays, slow motion and different...

    "The Summit, Mt. Washington 1884"

    Hello Randy and all the rest of you. I haven't posted in a long time, but your Mount Washington backdrop made me curious and so I had a look at Wikipedia. I enjoy walking the trails of New England but have never been to Mount Washington. I'm closer to the Adirondaks of New York State. It looks...

    Woodland Village

    Ken and Ericka, these scenes are beautiful. It's hard to believe that the forest isn't real. I'm enjoying seeing your work; here and on other threads. I look at these photos and wonder what did they do when it rained with the hole in the middle of the roof, and more amazingly, how did they...

    Power of the Crown

    Beautiful work Ken and thank you for giving us the pleasure of looking. The possible story lines, with these soldiers in the deep forest, somehow remind me of the movie Avatar. In our movie we don't get sent back home.

    I have a lot of fun on this forum and many of you have become electronic friends with whom I feel lots of good will. Wishing all my American friends a joyous Thanksgiving in whatever form it might take: the traditional turkey, maybe a new veggie version :eek:, children back home from...
