The Panzerkampfwagen 38(t) was originally a Czechoslovak tank of pre-World War II design. After Czechoslovakia was taken over by Germany, it was adopted by the German Army, seeing service in the invasions of Poland, France and the USSR. Production ended in 1942, when its main armament was deemed inadequate. In all, over 1,400 Pz. 38(t)s were manufactured. The chassis of the Pz. 38(t) continued to be produced for the Marder III (1942–1944) with some of its components used in the later Jagdpanzer 38 (1944–1945) tank destroyers and its derivative vehicles.
The Meisho Maru 38, ran aground between Suiderstrand and Cape L'Agulhas on 16 November 1982. The ship had 240 tons of frozen tuna aboard. During a storm on 31 August 2008 the ship was turned around in heavy seas.

I made it! A whole week of considered colour :)
The last day is Scarlet Sunday!
Looking back at the week, I think this is my strongest shot which probably shows growth.
I have a bit of a thing for red shoes, my mum calls it a fetish :p I didn't realise how many I had until I pulled them all out to do a bigger photo with them all in, I decided there was more punch in just the one shoe photographed from the back- for the allure :)
I watched two films back to back with mum tonight.
Before Sunrise and Before Sunset. They were more girl films, but some really great themes and ideas. Mostly about love and our perception of love in life. Seems pretty apt with Valentines Day coming up.
And so to bed

Day 38, Febuary 7, 2012
After one good day, allergies are back in full force. Apparently, everything is blooming early because of the extremely warm winter we've been having. Lucky me!!!
I spent most of the day re-organizing my work room. I recently got a new, floor-to-ceiling wood shelf with cubbies to replace the plastic, four shelf unit that was in the room. I have gotten almost everything put into it's new home, I should have it completely finished some time tomorrow. I also worked on a memory blanket that I'm making for a friend of mine. I have a total of 12 pictures for the blanket and I have gotten half of them on. If all goes well tomorrow, that will be another item checked off my to-do list.
Hope your Tuesday was great!

Room 29
York Beach, ME
Look, I'm as sick of this project as you are. Let's just get this onslaught of my face over with, shall we? We've got a lot of other stuff to talk about.
On the 23rd of September, I participated in my first group show with 20 other artists at an old beachside motel in York, Maine. I have many more photos and stories from that weekend to share with you, and share them I will. (I swear, Tara. I'm not lying.) It was an amazing and inspiring night, and I was so grateful to be a part of it.
But what I remember the most from this week was the amount of love and support I felt...the friends and family that drove long distances in the fog and drove home in the rain to come see my room. The flowers and car-lending and the million other generosities that amounted to the best first show a girl could have. That's what I remember.
2012 is the 100th anniversary of bus route 38, and on Sunday 17th June Arriva marked the occasion by running three Routemasters from its Heritage Fleet as 'extras'. These were also joined by an RTL and RTW from the London Bus Company. No fares were charged on these buses, but passengers were invited to make a donation to Maggie's Cancer Charity. A vintage K-type bus dating from 1921 also traversed the route, carrying invited guests. As three of the 'New Bus 4 London' were also operating, the route attracted a lot of attention.
LT4, the fourth of the 'New Bus 4 London' prototypes, is seen apulling away from the stop at Islington Angel on its way to Hackney Central - at the moment these buses do not operate to Clapton. The front and centre doors are firmly shut, but the rear platform remains open; it is being supervised by a second crew member. He/she does not collect fares, so is not a conductor in the traditional sense of the word. If this person is not present the rear platform is closed off.

The Lockheed P-38 Lightning was a World War II American fighter aircraft built by Lockheed. Developed to a United States Army Air Corps requirement, the P-38 had distinctive twin booms and a single, central nacelle containing the cockpit and armament. Named "fork-tailed devil" by the Luftwaffe and "two planes, one pilot" by the Japanese, this unique [5] aircraft was used in a number of different roles including dive bombing, level bombing, ground strafing, photo reconnaissance missions,[6] and extensively as a long-range escort fighter when equipped with drop tanks under its wings.
The P-38 was used most successfully in the Pacific Theater of Operations and the China-Burma-India Theater of Operations as the mount of America's top aces, Richard Bong (40 victories) and Thomas McGuire (38 victories). In the South West Pacific theater, the P-38 was the primary long-range fighter of United States Army Air Forces until the appearance of large numbers of P-51D Mustangs toward the end of the war.[7][8]
The P-38 was the only American fighter aircraft in active production throughout the duration of American involvement in the war, from Pearl Harbor to VJ Day.

NASA's X-38 Crew Rescue Vehicle. Te spacecraft was to serve as a lifeboat for the International Space Station. It could carry seven passengers to safety. As it approached Earth, it would paraglide to the surface.

Josh was one of several members of the Canadian military attending the commemoration of the Bicentennial of the Battle of York (the War of 1812) in downtown Toronto.
Josh's full military gear and his intense look made me feel I would not want to face him in battle! He and a number of other members of the Canadian Forces were at this event to represent the modern military. As you might imagine, their battle gear made them a popular feature, especially with the younger generation.
Our interaction was brief but friendly. Josh told me he is 28. I told him that I liked the name because I have a son with the same name.
Thank you, Josh, for helping me out by posing for this photo. I hope you email me to get a copy since you liked the photo on my camera display.
You have become Stranger #38 for my project.

38/52: Be Wary of the Cassowary
December 16 - December 22
I'm in total love with this creature. One of the closest remaining relatives to our prehistoric predecessors. They're phenomenally coloured, and extremely well equipped with aggressive talons and beaks. A beautiful bird, to whom getting too close to would not be a great idea!

The Northrop T-38 Talon is an American supersonic jet trainer. It was the world's first supersonic trainer and to date, is also the most produced. It remains in service as of 2009 in air forces throughout the world including the United States Air Force (USAF), which remains its largest user.
The basic airframe was used for the light combat aircraft F-5 Freedom Fighter family. In addition to USAF pilots, T-38s are also used by NASA astronauts, the U.S. Naval Test Pilot School (other T-38s were previously used as USN aggressor aircraft), other NATO pilots under a joint training program, and some under civilian ownership.

Lockheed P-38J Lightning
In the P-38, Lockheed engineer Clarence “Kelly” Johnson and his team of designers created one of the most successful twin-engine fighters ever flown by any nation. From 1942 to 1945, U.S. Army Air Forces pilots flew P-38s over Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Pacific and from the frozen Aleutian Islands to the sun-baked deserts of North Africa. Lightning pilots in the Pacific theater downed more Japanese aircraft than pilots flying any other Allied warplane.
Maj. Richard I. Bong, America’s leading fighter ace, flew this P-38J-10-LO on April 16, 1945, at Wright Field, Ohio, to evaluate an experimental method on interconnecting the movement of the throttle and propeller control levers. His right engine exploded in flight before he could conduct the experiment.
