A view of Lake Ontario from the sandy shore. In the foreground, rocks of various sizes and colour sit right at the shoreline and extend into the lake. The water is blue but looks rather cold on a cloudy day. Small waves are headed towards the shore and the wind pushes foamy whitecaps across the surface of the water in the shallowest area.
A walk on the sand last November. It was a cool morning but the winter freeze had not yet set in.

Two cats sitting on the landing of the stairs, looking up expectantly at the human coming downstairs...
I am feeding the cats early to make time to get work done before my evening plans.
This... Appears to be meeting expectations.

Pray this family's nightmare comes to a close swiftly. It's been 31 days since Nancy Guthrie was kidnapped out of her bed in the middle of the night. The uncertainty would be unbearable for the most hardened of men.πππ

Did you know Hitler was attacked in London in May 1933?!!
Well technically... it is the max model of him from Madame Tussauds that someone threw red paint at. ;)
I assume they put that sign on him as well, not Madame Tussauds.

#OTD in 1944 IS-2 tanks of the 29th Guards Heavy Tank Regiment began its trial by fire as a part of of the 1st Ukrainian Front. This was a difficult campaign, as the tanks constantly drove through heavy mud up to half a meter deep. #tanks #History #WW2 #WWII

Alexandra Samusenko is one of the best known female tank commanders in history. She started the war as an infantry private, but successfully petitioned to enroll in a tank school, reaching the rank of Guards Captain by the time she was killed #OTD in 1945. #tanks #History #WW2 #WWII

Medium Tank T26E1 photographed #OTD in 1944. The T26 was supposed to weigh 36 tons, but even the lightened T26E1 weighed 38 tons at the beginning and reached a weight of 42 tons by the end of the summer. The tank was reclassified as a heavy. #tanks #History #WW2 #WWII

Like the T-34, a 57 mm gun was developed for the KV-1. This project received the index 413. #OTD in 1941, the GAU informed Kirov factory that they had the permission to develop this gun, but on their own dime. As a result, the project was cancelled. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

Even though production ended in 1945, the IS-2 was still modernized for decades to come. #OTD in 1953 an order was given to develop underwater driving equipment for this tank. #tanks #History #ColdWar

One of the biggest problems with the French Char B1 bis tanks was how complex they were to produce. For example, the first tank was finished in April of 1937, but the last of the first 35 tank batch was only delivered #OTD in 1938. #tanks #History

Preliminary blueprints of the Medium Tank M4A3E2 were finished #OTD in 1944. The tank was visually similar to regular Shermans but highly resistant to German 75 and 88 mm guns. Only 254 were built, even though they were very positively received. #tanks #History #WW2 #WWII

The T-62 tank first went into battle #OTD in 1969, during the Sino-Soviet conflict at Damanskiy island. A T-62 tank was knocked out and later recovered by Chinese forces. Capture of this tank had a considerable influence on Chinese tank building. #tanks #History #ColdWar

#OTD in 1938 the fate of obsolete Soviet tanks was decided. T-24, MS-1, Vickers 12-tonners, and other tanks were to be stripped of engines and running gear to be dug in as static emplacements. Many tanks earmarked for this were never installed and left to rust. #tanks #history

Characteristics of the competitors for the Panther tender were finalized #OTD in 1942. The VK 30.02 MAN officially weighed 35 tons, but the first weight increase took place just two months later, and the final tank weighed a whopping 45 tons. #tanks #History #WW2 #WWII

#OTD in 1945 the Germans changed painting rules for the Jagdpanther. Dunkelgrun (dark green) was now used as the base colour instead of Dunkelgelb (dark yellow), giving vehicles used at the very end of the war a distinctive look. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

Pershing tank knocked out #OTD in 1945. Two direct hits with 150 mm HE shells knocked off the commander's cupola, killed the commander, and destroyed a drive sprocket. The damage looks serious, but the tank was back in action after a few weeks. #tanks #History #WW2 #WWII

New ammo racks for T-34 tanks were tested #OTD in 1941. Practical trials showed that the sustained rate of fire doubled compared to older T-34 tanks and the amount of time needed to refill them went from 2 hours to 10 minutes. #tanks #History #WW2 #WWII
