The Ultaran, being the decendants of Makaan, are firm believers that superiority over 'inferior races' is achieved through the construction of giant, powerfull war machines. The Ultaran Dreadnoughts are feared in every corner of the galaxy because their sniping power is immense. They deliver fantastic damage over great distances. However these ships lack the electronics to deliver that pain so far on their own. They require a couple scouts (housed within the ships docking bay) to 'target-paint' coordinates. Therefore, ironically, the immense power of these ships rely on the very fragile nature of the scouts.

It's finally finished! This one is a bit bigger and more complex than what im used to, and required a couple BL orders of light grey bricks. Its inner structure is quite sturdy and the armor pannels are angled using many different techniques.
I will detail and compare the evolution of the ship through sketches and pictures at a later time. Inspired at first by Vaygr Battleships, i realize that it has more of a Sajuuk shape.

The New City Hall or New Town Hall in Hanover, Germany at night, is a city hall and was opened on July 20th, 1913, after having been under construction for 12 years.
It is a magnificent, castle-like building of the era of William II in eclectic style at the southern edge of the inner city (outside of the historic city center of Hanover).
The building is embedded in the 10 hectare Maschpark. The Old City Hall is no longer used as the main seat of administration, but houses businesses and the registry office.

Paesaggi di primavera nelle Marche - In fondo i monti Sibillini -
Marche region Italy - on Explore #13 - 6/05
Ruta de Bustelos a Ventín, dentro de la etapa 4 del sendero das Greas o GR-58, por tierras de Fornelos de Montes en O Suido......con paraguas, que es como se anduvo por nuestros montes toda la vida.
La estampa típica de un paisano gallego siempre fué con un paraguas colgado de la chaqueta a la altura de la nuca, asunto tremendamente práctico que también solucionaba la reprimenda al ganado.

...e così, ci siam messi alle spalle anche le medie!!
(mammamia, se ci penso...)
ieri sera, la tua prima notte prima degli esami.
ed eri magnifico, nel non saper ancora nuotare bene nell'inevitabile ansia, ma nello stesso tempo, nel tenere a tranquillizzare tutti sul fatto che sapevi che era normale, e che sarebbe passata, sai?
beh, da oggi pomeriggio, giustamente, tu te la godrai, leggero e spensierato, per almeno 3 mesi, e poi, con calma, in bocca al lupo...
che t'aspetta la vita (ma quella sempre) e t'aspetta il liceo (e lì, scoprirai cos'è studiare sul serio, vecchio mio :)

Snow can wait, I forgot my mittens.
Wipe my nose, get my new boots on.
I get a little warm in my heart when I think of winter.
I put my hand in my father's glove.
I run off where the drifts get deeper.
Sleeping Beauty trips me with a frown. I hear a voice,
"You must learn to stand up for yourself 'cause I can't always be around."
He says, when you gonna make up your mind?
When you gonna love you as much as I do?
When you gonna make up your mind?
'Cause things are gonna change so fast.
All the white horses are still in bed.
I tell you that I'll always want you near.
You say that things change
my dear.

"Under my feet, over my head " : www.flickr.com/photos/nespyxel/sets/72157625936479545/
Photo created with my favorite all around lens at the moment at my favorite spot at Gastown. If you have some time visit my blog to see more pictures and read about lenses :-), thanks!
HBM!
Btw, what's wrong with flickr. It's so F***ing slow! Sorry I cannot help it.
This beautiful spring landscape is taken on the pathway leading out of my neighborhood and into Fish Creek, facing south and east.
When snapping this photo, I was about two steps beyond where the fence line ends and from here it is just pure, gorgeous nature pathways and trails for just about as long as you care to explore!
One of my favorite spots to start nature journeys from, and only about 5 minutes from our house!
«Una volta, nel bel mezzo di una partita di tennis, la racchetta le cade di mano, rimase immobile in mezzo al campo, guardando con occhi sognanti verso il cielo; un'altra volta lasciò cadere il cucchiaio nella minestra mentre tutti erano a tavola; mia madre si mise a gridare, lamentandosi delle macchie sulla tovaglia e sul vestito. Henriette non la sentiva nemmeno, tolse soltanto il cucchiaio dal piatto, lo asciugò nel tovagliolo e riprese a mangiare. Quando cadde per la terza volta in quello stato, mentre stavamo giocando a carte davanti al camino, mia madre si arrabbiò veramente. "Questo maledetto sognare a occhi aperti" gridò, e Henriette la guardò tutta tranquilla: "Che cosa c'è? Non ho più voglia ecco tutto" e gettò le carte che aveva ancora in mano nel fuoco del caminetto.»

The tomb of Shah Rukn-e-Alam was built between 1320 and 1324, is an unmatched pre-Moghul masterpiece. The Mausoleum of Rukn-i-Alam could possibly be considered as the glory of Multan.
From whichever side the city is approached, the most prominent thing that can be seen from miles all around is a huge dome. This dome is the Shrine of the saint. The tomb is located on the southwest side of the Fort premises. This elegant building is an octagon, 51 feet 9 inches in diameter internally, with walls 41 feet 4 inches high and 13 feet 3 inches thick, supported at the angles by sloping towers. Over this is a smaller octagon 25 feet 8 inches, on the exterior side, and 26 feet 10 inches high, leaving a narrow passage all round the top of the lower storey for the Moazzan, or public caller to prayers. The whole is surmounted by a hemispherical dome of 58 feet external diameter. The total height of the building, including a plinth of 3 feet, is 100 feet. As it stands on the high ground, the total height above the road level is 150 feet.[4]
Besides its religious importance, the mausoleum is also of considerable archaeological value as its dome is reputed to be the second largest in the world. The mausoleum is built entirely of red brick, bounded with beams of shisham wood, which have now turned black after so many centuries. The whole of the exterior is elaborately ornamented with glazed tile panels, string-courses and battlements. Colors used are dark blue, azure, and white, contrasted with the deep red of the finely polished bricks.

Cotton-top tamarins are one of three Amazonian species of tamarin and are found in a small area of northwest Colombia in a range bound by the Cauca and Magdalena Rivers and the Atlantic coast (Snowdon & Soini 1988; Groves 2001). Though the overall area bound to the north by the Magdalena River and the west by the Cauca River has historically been suitable habitat for cotton-top tamarins, they are now only found in fragmented parks and reserves throughout this area. One of the strongholds of the remaining cotton-top tamarins is in Paramillo National Park, a 540 km² (208 mi²) park containing primary and secondary forest (Mast et al. 1993).
One of the only long-term studies of wild cotton-top tamarins was started in the mid-1970s by primatologist Patricia Neyman. Not only did she habituate wild groups but she also live-trapped and marked them, allowing for qualitative research on group membership changes and life history characteristics of individual animals (Neyman 1977). More recently, Anne Savage and her colleagues began working on a long-term research and conservation project in La Reserva Forestal Protectora Serranía de Coraza-Montes de Marìa in Colombia, another principal refuge for cotton-top tamarins (Savage et al. 1996a).
It is estimated that there are between 300 and 1000 cotton-top tamarins left in Colombia (Savage 1990). There are 1800 cotton-top tamarins in captivity and of those, 64% are found in research laboratories (Savage et al. 1997a).

My youngest grandchild Wilm one year old walked his first steps without taking someones hand during I was in Bielefeld. He simply still loves crawling on the ground and it doesn't matter whether on foliage in the forest or on the street ;-)).
This photo was taken on a rainy day ... Wilm was happy to crawl on the ground despite the wet grass.
Love it Large On Black
(In my next uploads I will share some other photos of Wilm with you.)

Y espero,aunque los años pesan,seguir visitando y disfrutando de más ruinas romanas mientras pueda sostenerme.
I wish, althoug the years keep going .., to continue visiting more roman ruins...
El teatro romano de Cartagena fue construido entre los años 5 y 1 a. C. en la ciudad de Carthago Nova, actual Cartagena. Tenía capacidad para unos seis mil espectadores, y estuvo en uso hasta el siglo III, a partir del cual se superpusieron varias edificaciones.
En 1988 fue descubierto y después de algunos años de abandono,se emprendió un ambicioso proyecto de reconstrucción y restauración del monumento.El teatro se había mantenido en muy buen estado de conservación y hasta un 60% de los materiales originales se conservaban enterrados.
En el borde superior del graderío del teatro romano, en la parte más alta de la colina en que está excavado,se construyó en el s.XIII la Catedral de Cartagena. Muchos de los muros de la catedral contienen restos de diferentes épocas...romana,bizantina, árabe....

The Pannonian Plain is a large plain in Central Europe that remained when the Pliocene Pannonian Sea dried out. It is a geomorphological subsystem of the Alps-Himalaya system.
The river Danube divides the plain roughly in half.
The plain is divided among Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia and Ukraine.
The plain is roughly bounded by the Carpathian mountains, the Alps, the Dinaric Alps and the Balkan mountains.
Although rain is not plentiful, it usually falls when necessary and the plain is a major agricultural area; it is sometimes said that these fields of rich loamy loess soil could feed the whole of Europe. For its early settlers, the plain offered few sources of metals or stone. Thus when archaeologists come upon objects of obsidian or chert, copper or gold, they have almost unparalleled opportunities to interpret ancient pathways of trade.
The precursor to the present plain was a shallow sea that reached its greatest extent during the Pliocene, when three to four kilometres of sediments were deposited.
The plain was named after the Pannonians, a northern Illyrian tribe. Various different peoples inhabited the plain during its history. In the first century BC, the eastern parts of the plain belonged to the Dacian state, and in the first century AD its western parts were subsumed into the Roman Empire. The Roman province named Pannonia was established in the area, and the city of Sirmium, today Sremska Mitrovica, Serbia, became one of the four capital cities of the Roman Empire in the 3rd century.

Calahorra Tower
The tower was built during the late 12th century by the Almohads to protect the nearby Roman Bridge on the Guadalquivir. The tower, standing on the left bank of the river, originally consisted of an arched gate between two square towers.
The building was restored in 1369 by king Henry II of Castile. A third tower was added to the existing ones, in the shape of two cylinder connecting them.
The tower was declared a national historical monument in 1931.
The late lamented Theatre Royal on Hawkins Street in Dublin.
Thanks to swordscookie for this information on the monument in the foreground:
"Monument to Constable Jeremiah Sheehan, 6' 4" tall of the DMP who went down into a drain at this point to rescue some council workmen who had been overcome with sewer gas and lost his own life!"
Niall McAuley contributed this brilliant link outlining the long history of the Theatre Royal "including the programme of the final show, the "Royale Finale", which was on Saturday 30th of June at 8pm, just three months after this photo."

I started off the month of April by walking to the border of Mexico. I was sent out to the grocery store ... and took a detour. I was standing on the border when I received a phone call. "Where are you mom? What is taking you so long!!" :-)
There weren't many folk about ... a few surfers, some dog-walkers, a lone fisherman ... and some horseback riders on the Mexican side of the shore. When I saw this beach umbrella, I couldn't resist!

It was another nice day out today so making the most of it and trying to stay outside as much as possible! was just me and the dog at home today so I took out the camera for a muck about. I really wanted to have a go at capturing motion here's my attempt, this is Cassie (my dog) chasing after a tennis ball haha. This is the sort of thing I wouldn't normally post on Flickr but the sheer determination in her face I just had to share!

Sotos de la Albolafia (Córdoba )
Único Monumento Natural de Europa enclavado dentro de una ciudad. Tramo del Guadalquivir comprendido entre el Puente Romano y el de San Rafael, con zonas inundables, pequeños afloramientos, barras e islotes, producto de las diferentes fluctuaciones históricas en el nivel del agua del río a su paso por la ciudad. Incluye antiguas edificaciones relacionadas con el uso del agua. Albergan una importante avifauna, con importantes poblaciones de garcilla bueyera, calamón y morito.
Tan sólo seis kilómetros conforman los llamados Sotos de la Albolafia. El material de arrastre que el río deposita en este tramo, ha configurado un paisaje de lo más peculiar, donde gran variedad de aves y plantas han encontrado su lugar perfecto. Tanto es así, que el dos de octubre de 2001, fue declarado Monumento Natural, creando, de esta forma, en medio de la ciudad, una verdadera reserva de flora y fauna.

Uno de los glaciares que avanza en el Campo de Hielo Sur. Este avance fue constatado por el estanciero Finn Samsing, quien entre los años 1925-1926, fundó su estancia frente al glaciar, pero debido al avance de éste, tuvo que evacuar la zona. Es considerado el glaciar más grande del hemisferio sur, con 1263 kms. cuadrados y un largo de 62 kms. (año 1995). Lo que se ve en la foto es menos de la mitad del glaciar.
