Description
I'm "S-n-i-p-i-n-g"! Defined as "shoot from a hidden place" geddit!... The tent and all the other "accoutrements" are merely a subterfuge to lull opponents into a false sense of security.
As I mentioned to NICELabs a few months ago, I've been "World of Tanks" for my son (who's no longer interested in it
). I honestly had no idea there was so much virulent hate among young people ----------------> who lose! Haters gonna Hate!

I suppose this is better camouflage than the usual, as no one would be looking out for a tank in a holiday tent.
Someone one told me that during a military exercise the Belgian army camouflaged a tank by putting a tree on top of the turret. There was some incredulity when a soldier on the other side in the exercise came with a report of a tree that was rotating this way and that.

Many thanks.
I think the other people at the campsite don't like it very much, but no-one ever complains!

that is definitely one comfortable sniper's nest...all that's missing are the cup holders...

Were the resolution bigger you'd see the cup holders on the arms of the chairs!

Ah such an idyllic kampf site 
Yah, camping would make so many people all twitchy. Playing WWII Online camping a town or forward base was par for the course. Still made the lesser players frustrated and overly angry. In the WWII fighter plane online game my friends and I played a similar term was "Vulture" Hovering over the enemy airfield and shooting planes trying to take off. People would yell foul or call it illegal. I considered it a challenge. They don't play nice in combat and if you can avoid that you're the better flier. Haven't played either for years, but I can remember how angry people would get. So, what can I say...
Tanks for the memories

I'm still struggling with the first pun.

Well... Camp site, Kampf site... the tank is WWII era and looked German to me and Kampf is a German word most notably used as part of the title of Hitler's book "Mein Kamf" (my struggle).

I is astounded 
Never been one for playing video games, especially mutliplayer - I'm pure left-handed in a right-handed world (that's a good excuse, right?), so all the hate was a revelation to me...What amazes me the most is how the haters can type such long insults in basically the time it takes for their tank to explode. I'm often tempted to message back to congratulate them on their superhuman typing skills but I fear the compliment may be misconstrued

hehe well, it has a few distinctive features that makes it a bit easier to find in the search engines 
In my experience, some of these guys are so petty that on some occasions their insults are saved as macros, so it's tirades on hotkey. Still, most of the time they sit there and whine long after the fact, so they've got plenty of time to type.
Of course, since they keep spewing hate-speak from their tank being destroyed, does that mean they have Turrets Syndrome?

Man - I love all the detail. I just zoom way in and scroll around a while.

Don't often use the "physical sky": this one is Bilbao, 21st June 2014 at 3pm, ... I know it rained that day, so computers aren't that clever!
(There's quite a bit more "stuff" behind the tent, all out of view, don't ask me why )

takes ones eyes and does not let go.

May be a little too small to see everything 
As I tolds Blades-123 yesterday, I've been rendering things inside my imagination these past few months - only picturing things I'm 100% sure I could do. My brain has much better "zoom" functions than the software I normally use but I think the my brain's "save" function needs a bit of work

It's definitely the only way I'd consider camping for real nowadays!

I may not get all humorous details as I'm not a fan of such weapons, but this is your usually high-quality type of picture that I do love so much... so rarely devoid of funny details. Awesome work,m Pete
I just wish that humankind could have invested the same energy in creating non-polluting vehicles as they did in creating those shitty masses of useless metal...

So true Y-Phil, so true! Unfortunately humankind and senseless killing are eternally inseparable, however, as the devil's advocate I reluctantly admit that we have greatly benefited from "Extreme Diplomacy": Virtually everything that makes our lives "civilised" has its origins in military R+D, even computers and the internet .... Sadly, no war, no Deviantart! Nonetheless it's a terrible price to pay.
The pic refers to this

R + D can always be done. The military aspect is just one of the worst reason, but don't worry I am what we call in French a kind of UFO, sometimes deeply lost somewhere in my dreams...
Anyway: I am so happy to see your awesome artwork again. I hope that you feel better now

I agree mostly - but one example, the internet, is a direct descendent of the arpa-net/darpa-net - a DoD creation: a network designed to literally survive a nuclear war. If it had simply been created to fill a perceived need - no one in their right mind would design it to survive a nuclear war - but without that feature - it's doubtful it would have come so far so fast - it would have been taken down many times - and who knows how people would have reacted to it.
Still - one likes to think we can aim that same passion and ability without the need to involve war. Maybe like going to the moon.

I'm still convinced that if the apra-net and its descendant would have been correctly thought to, correctly developed and not what we called in French "developed on the corner of the kitchen's table, between coffee and dessert", but better protected and not only based on a too simple too narrowly thought military point of view, thor, viruses and all the spam infections would never have so deeply encrusted in our society.
What I am trying to say (and I hope that I am using the right words): a military conception is a biased one, it serves one purpose: kill (or to be able to) before the other can. And philosophically, I can't help but think that a purpose that is more widely thought (developed) should be able to benefit to the humankind with a far more efficiency.
Once again, I hope that I hurt nobody and that I'm using the right words...

Good points, all. Though I think the virsuses and such are not so much the network's fault, as badly designed operating systems and mail readers (as I say, way too often: I blame Bill Gates). But, I do think the internet may yet help us to lift ourselves up to at least a higher level where we have less need of oppressive governments and maybe we can find a way with, at least, less war.
One can hope.

In fact, the network structure by itself, as well as the one used for emails doesn't have any protection. This how dangerous threats can spread.
And yes, this is one aspect of the electronic war, the other one being the operating systems. As Windows is the most frequently used, it is the most frequently attacked but the other ones are not always better protected, they are simply less frequently a target. Except for Android and iOS based mobiles and tablets which are becoming very interesting targets for the pirates and their employers.

The reason Windows suffered so mightily from virus was not just because it was a bigger target. I was a badly designed OS. It's better now.
