Mastertons' Pouwhenua.
Pouwhenua or pou whenua (land post), are carved wooden posts used by Māori, the indigenous peoples of New Zealand to mark territorial boundaries or places of significance. They are generally artistically and elaborately carved and can be found throughout New Zealand.
These controversial 20th century interpretations were installed at the northern and southern approaches to Masterton around 2015. The bill for pou came in at just under $92,000, or nearly three times the initial budget. Stage two of the project has never been started.

This robot was created with spare parts by Steve Jobs in his off time with an Apple 2 display, powered completely by the citric juices of green apples! What a feat of engineering!
Notes Well, this was an annoying little guy to build. I had this play of words floating around in my mind for some time, but just got to building it. Although it is fragile, it stand on its own, at about the height of 3 minifigs. I used a few new techniques for myself here, including:
-studs in every direction possible
-a mech
-and incorporating minifig parts into a build
I hope you like it!

TSR-2 Displayed outside at Cosford Airshow.
The British Aircraft Corporation TSR-2 was a cancelled Cold War strike and reconnaissance aircraft developed by the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC) for the Royal Air Force (RAF) in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The TSR-2 was designed to penetrate a well-defended forward battle area at low altitudes and very high speeds, and then attack high-value targets in the rear with nuclear or conventional weapons. Another intended combat role was to provide high-altitude, high-speed stand-off, side-looking, radar and photo imagery and signals intelligence, reconnaissance. Some of the most advanced aviation technology of the period was incorporated in order to make it the highest-performing aircraft in the world in its projected missions. Only one airframe flew and test flights and weight rise during design indicated that the aircraft would be unable[1] to meet its original stringent[2] design specifications.[3][4][5][N 1] The design specifications had been reduced as the results of flight testing.

Open Day at Generalfeldmarschal Rommel-Kaserne in Augustdorf. It's the home base of Panzerbrigade 21 "Lipperland". A lot of tanks and support units were shown to the visitors. It was interesting and worth a visit!
She is not finished, but I started working on her face-up a little bit and am happy so far with how it is turning out :) Looking forward to having more time so I can finish her!
#JacketChallenge - Day 2 (for me)
A fashion tag game for the week started by Bringing Dolls to Life (www.flickr.com/photos/fashionroyaltylj/) I was tagged by the lovely Bogostick/Leslie, thank you! I tagged just a few people, so if you see this and want to play along, please do!
Rules: Pick a jacket from your doll's wardrobe to use from Sunday to Saturday and style it with different looks for each day. Use as many dolls as you'd like - just be sure the jacket stays the same! Use the hashtag #jacketchallenge on your photo.
This photo: I am playing along a little late, but here's A Touch of Frost Eugenia in my second look for the jacket challenge.

Those who inhabit the boundaries of the earth are awed by Your signs, strong and subtle hints of Your indelible presence. Even the dawn and dusk respond to You with Joy. Psalm 65:8
