As spring breaks in Mitgardia, a shepherd sets out to lead his flock to summer pastures higher in the mountains.
I recently acquired some Brick Forge sheep and wanted to show them off in a MoC - so this is the result! I'm really pleased with them and will be using them again soon in something a bit bigger(hopefully!). Tree design is from Carson Hart here.
As daylight gently fades, the enchanting city of Paris takes on a captivating allure. The soft hues of twilight embrace the iconic landmark of the Eiffel Tower, casting a mesmerizing glow upon the city's romantic streets and buildings.
As night falls, Class 172/1 Turbostar No. 172103 prepares to depart Stratford-upon-Avon with the 17:36 Chiltern Railways service to London Marylebone on 29th November 2019.
As UP 4014 was backing their train into the station an empty coal train fronted by KCS 4828 rolled through the area.
Alvin and the Chipmunks (Harris's antelope squirrel ) are Kung Fu fighting and moving fast as lightning in Golden Valley, Arizona,
Everybody was kung-fu fighting
Those kicks were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightening
But they fought with expert timing
For any of you that are unfamiliar with Alvin and the Chipmunks here are the chipmunks singing Kung Fu Fighting and a few cute pictures of their movies. My favorite pictures are the first one and the last one.

I can’t hear your voice, do I have a choice?
you’re sinking below, i’m using my force
I’m hoping with chance, you might take this dance
You’re my number one guy
Today was one of days where it was so beautifully warm and sunny outside that being inside felt oppressive. By the time I made it out from work the clouds had collected and I felt tired and robbed. Still, grey clouds do give that lovely empty sky look so it wasn't all bad!
Hope everyone else had a good day : )
Update! Omgosh mine got even better.. thank you so much *TruthHurts for your lovely testimonial!!! x

As always this light painting was created within one single exposure and was not digitally manipulated afterwards.
Shot in Beelitz-Heilstätten - one of the most famous abandoned places troughout
As I was leaving, I noticed the shadows on the ground from the pier. I did need to crop out the people under the pier.
"As long as autumn lasts, I shall not have hands, canvas and colors enough to paint the beautiful things I see."
--Vincent van Gogh
A trip to Minnesota in October to visit my niece and her little ones provided me an opportunity to experience autumn in the Midwest. Whereas California's fall delights us with gorgeous golden foliage, I was treated to a dazzling display of vibrant reds, glorious golds and lovely orange and yellow hues. A feast for the eyes!
I would like to wish all my dear Flickr friends and their loved ones a beautiful and joyous holiday season! I am so grateful for your encouragement, support and friendship! Thank you! :-)
As always, a huge thanks to those who stop by to view, fave and or comment! It is truly appreciated...
As I was closing the bookshop and putting it to bed for the night, I had turned off most of the lights, but hadn't turned off the neon sign with our motto ("we read after our bedtimes"). I liked the way it looked, but I didn't have the tripod with me, so I sat the camera on tables and books to steady it and crossed my fingers.
My cat on the only surface he's allowed on in the kitchen, my camera is always in his face, he normally doesn't bat an eye :)

I know as the night goes on
You might end up with someone
So why do I bite my tongue?
Oh, I wanna know ya
I'm lookin' around the room
Is one of those strangers you?
And do you notice me too?
Oh, I wanna know ya . . .

Honestly this image was inspired by this choreography, the way it was done and way it brought out the song’s emotions. I thought it was absolutely beautiful.
Obviously the picture is nothing close to that video, but meh - the feelings I hope were somehow captured.
As the military space vessel, IRC Agatha Christie leaves Stonehenge Spacefort in pursuit of the Frigus Iustitia, that ship is dropping out of tach speed near a distant IRC outpost, Septem Caelum.
Septem Caelum Comm Tech: (his image appears on the forward holoscreen) Frigus Iustitia, welcome to Outpost Septem Caelum.
MSS: (on the bridge, in the command chair) Thank you. This is Major Sky. We are rendezvousing with another ship -- soon.
SCCT: Understood. Which ship are you meeting?
MSS: I don't know, but Captain Jetsam will be aboard.
SCCT: Do you plan to vee over?
MSS: No. We're on a tight schedule.
SCCT: Understood. Let us know if you need anything. (his image is replaced by one of the outpost)
MSS: (leans back in the command chair) Now, we wait.
Aboard the IRC Agatha Christie, Cpt Jetsam is leaning back in the command seat, appearing calm. A low tone from the Pilot's station draws her eyes.
Pilot: Captain Jetsam, that signal you had me scanning for; it just appeared at Outpost Septem Caelum.
CDL: (leans forward in the chair with a small smile) Take us there. Tach five.
CMOLB: (moves to stand by CDL's seat) I hope we make it in time.
Cpt Jetsam says nothing to this vocalized concern she shares, she simply gazes at the holo projection of stars and planets they pass until the screen glows purple as they drop out of tach speed, replaced by an image of the Frigus Iustitia orbiting Outpost Septem Caelum.
QDPN: Assume orbit.
Pilot: Aye, sir.
QDPN: Comm Officer, contact the Frigus Iustitia.
CommO: Aye, sir. IRC Agatha Christie to Frigus Iustitia, please respond.
MSS: (her holo image fills the forward screen) Frigus Iustitia, welcome to Outpost Septem Caelum.
CDJ: Major Sky, you have my ship.
MSS: On the contrary, Captain Jetsam. I have your ship, and I have Major Sky.
CDJ: You have? Who are you?
MSS: First, please allow me to apologize for what has happened, but the circumstances are dire, and there was no time to explain.
CDJ: Oh, then apology accepted. Give me back my friend, and my ship.
MSS: (smiles) Scrummy's told me about your sense of humor.
CDJ: You may call her, Major Sky. Has she told you about my overdeveloped protective instincts?
MSS: She has, which is why the two of you were chosen, actually.
CDJ: Chosen? Look, who the red nova are you?
MSS: My name is, Koe Ghitatio, Tech Mentalist to her Highness Princess Bhonumm Durus of the planet, Vhipernhal.
CDJ: Vhipernhal? (looks around the bridge) Anyone know the name? (the entire bridge crew shakes their heads, no) Never heard of it.
MSS-KG: Our planet lies beyond your current exploration.
CDJ: Why have you attacked Major Sky? Why did you kill Dr. Litefful? And why did you steal my ship?
MSS-KG: You misunderstand, Pips.
CDJ: (raises a hand) No. Oh, no, no no.
MSS-KG: Apologies, Captain. I did not kill Dr. Litefful. I was unable to properly express myself to her. My mentalist tech is experimental. She assumed I was trying to seize control of her mind. She killed herself.
CDJ: It appears she was correct. You HAVE seized control of Major Sky, AND my SHIP.
CMOLB: (quietly, to CDJ) Careful, Captain.
MSS-KG: This merging with Scr--Major Sky was consensual. We took your ship, knowing you would follow. Captain Jetsam, the people of Vhipernhal, all of us, are dying! We desperately need your help!
CDJ: Consensual? Then let me talk to Major Sky.
MSS-KG: I'm sorry, Captain. If I sever the connection, I might not be able to reconnect. I barely managed to communicate with her after Dr. Litefful killed herself.
CDJ: I just call that, convenient.
MSS-KG: Captain, we don't have time for this verbal sparring. The people of my planet are dying. That is why our king took your scientists--
CDJ: (interrupts) YOU kidnapped the scientists?
MSS-KG: No, King Durus did. He's desperate to save our people, but his desperation verges on madness. He will do anything to save us, even risk going to war.
CMOLB: What are your people dying from?
MSS-KG: You are the chief medical officer of this ship. Good, I'm glad you chose to accompany the Captain. We don't know what is killing us, but we do know the source. A great, stellar cloud of unknown properties is slowly engulfing our world. There is nowhere for our people to hide. As our world rotates, all points ultimately come into contact with the phenomenon.
CDJ: How are the scientists supposed to help you with that? They aren't medical scientists.
MSS-KG: Plicare.
CDJ: (tenses, pretty sure this crew didn't know the secret of Plicare) You clearly have ships that can traverse space, if you need to move your people.
MSS-KG: King Durus doesn't want to move ships, Captain. He wants to move the world.

As a week well spent in the greater Twin Cities area drew to a close, I got a text that my flight home was being delayed by 5 or so hours. So after gathering ourselves and extending the rental by a couple hours, we were just getting our bearings back when this guy lit up the radio..."KCS 3903 East" with 63 Herzog empties out of CP's Humboldt Yard for loading at Ortonville on the TC&W. We made a beeline for Hopkins with time to spare and anxiously awaited one of my trademarked cloudf**ks, but as luck would have it a big hole broke open in the clouds as they rounded the corner. Here's the pair of endangered Southern Belle SD70MACs bringing 63 Herzog empties west down the TC&W in some sweet evening light. Sure it may suck typing this out in the airport as I wait on my flight, but this was a nice little consolation prize that we wouldn't have seen otherwise.

Taking Flight | Red-tailed Hawk
Have a look at this sequence of images showing a perched Red-tailed Hawk, seemingly a juvenile, lifting and taking to the air with its broad wings. Red-tailed Hawks are one of the most common raptors of our region. It is a robust bird also known as “chickenhawk” south of the border, although it rarely preys on standard-size chickens. Kingston, Ontario, Canada.
As some of you know, I had a carotid endarterectomy at the end of May. Today the last of the (very persistent) steri-strips came off, and I can show off my rather elegant scar!!
Svalbard rock ptarmigan.
The only landbound bird species that overwinters in Svalbard and the only food for the Arctic fox, besides the reindeer carcasses.
As you can see, I pushed my camera to the limit of what it can do in low light... maybe even crossed the line? But I do like this shot.
we look back at the major events it contained
some we wish had never happened, some
we would do again right now... as we do this
we try to make peace with what has happened
as we prepare to leave it behind.
I wish you all a wonderful New Years!
As soon as I saw the banana, my initial though was... 'bull'. After making the animal I discovered that it looked fairly plane all alone, therefore I decided to place it in front of a bull fighter. Despite the matador's outfit not being accurate (it being red and yellow, when they are usually black and gold), I decided to make it the colours of the Spanish Flag, to reinforce the image of it being a key part of Spanish culture. I also tried hard to add in a forced perspective, this, I feel, is the best part of the model.
This is my first entry to the second round of the 2021 Iron Forge (Top 20) , a competition that unites LEGO lovers, ran by Markus Rollbühler and Simon Liu. Every year they contest, named the Iron Forge, is held, to decide who the next Iron Builder is. They decide to have a 'seed' part that every entry has to include. This time around is the banana. In this model, I have used the seed part 5 times. Twice for the horns and for the microscale gates as well as for a small heap of sand where the bull has kicked back his foot, as they do naturally before they charge. Bull fighting is a mildly controversial matter, therefore I am incredibly sorry if I have caused any offence or inconvenience. This model is a mutual recreation of the event.
