Feeling a little Squirrely at the moment, so a shot of Squirrel will do.
Not going to say much here. Started with BW photography many years back (Petri 35mm range-finder). Read a magazine article that said: Shoot! Film is cheap! Took that to heart. With digital photography one can recyle the film ad nauseum.
Interests vary greatly. Generally attracted to large, noisy machinery. Especially older stuff. Very fond of travel shots; particularly new aspects of familiar places and things.
PW is usually done with Corel 9 DCE. Seems to have the power of much more expensive software suites at a fraction of the price.

Beautiful Weese... What are glacis? And where are we going next?

Glacis is the clear field leading up from cannon-range to the edge of the ditch. It's like a big ramp (field-sized) that leads to the walls except for that nasty drop into what must have been pure HECK for troops trying to take a fortress. There are all sorts of fancy terms for fortification features. I believe this is essentially a Vauban-type fort. Lots of intersecting lines of fire so the walls and bastions can protect each other. Nice bit of engineering. Another thing the glacis does, not obvious though, is protects the walls from enemy cannon fire. If all the cannon have a shot at is the very top of the wall (because the ground is sloping upwards), they will have to shoot through their own troops (never a good idea) at a small target. If they aim too high, their shots go way way over the target and probably fall on their own troops attacking from the other side. The concept of a glacis is simple. It is very effective however. Next stop? Hmmmmmm. Not really sure yet. Probably somewhere in the San Antonio area to be sure.
