As a way to honor the Army Heritage Day celebration going on this weekend, I have changed my avatar to one of the last images of me taken during my military career. I realize I am wearing an old-style BDU with US Air Force insignia, but the thought is there.

I'll mail their choice of selected model kits from my printed model collection to the first person who can tell me what I am standing on and holding in my hands. To make it a bit easier, a larger version of the photo is attached.

Rick Steffers...you exempt from this competition. 8v)

Volcanic ash/ cataclysmic flow from Pinatubo, I think. I figure those are
probably part of the lahar that came down.

You never know
