Actually, a jet plane - airliner - that will land at LAX (Los Angeles International Airport) in less than 10 minutes.
"Leaving on a Jet Plane" was written in 1966 by John Denver (published in 1969). It's most remembered sung by Peter, Paul and Mary.

"Je ne crois pas à l'immatériel : cela n'existe pas. (...) J'appelle hypermatière, un complexe d'énergie et d'information où il n'est plus possible de distinguer la matière de sa forme. Il faut dépasser ce que Simondon appelle le schème hylémorphique qui consiste à penser la forme (morphè) et la matière (hylè) en les opposant. Et j'appelle hypermatériel le processus où l'information - qui se présente comme une forme immatérielle - est en réalité le résultat d'un train "d'états de matières" produits par des dispositifs techno-logiques où la séparation de la forme et de la matière est totalement dénuée de sens."
"I do not believe in the immaterial: this doesn't exist. (...) I name hypermatter, a complex of energy and information where it is no more possible to distinguish the matter of its form. We must go beyond what Simondon called the hylemorphic scheme which is to think the form (morph) and the matter (hylè) opposing each other. And I name hypermaterial the process where information - which presents itself as immaterial - is actually the result of a series of "statements of materials" produced by techno-logical devices where separation of form and matter is totally devoid of sense."

Actually, this was one of two freighters to pass through during this particular race, making for a choppy one, and generally making conditions more unpredictable. Shawn got 2nd, finishing behind his brother Jesse.
Actually it was named Doleman Street Junction at the time this was taken. 5M44 11.38 Willesden Railnet - Tonbridge is seen crossing over from the Atlantic Lines to the main Chatham tracks just before Brixton as the morning's sun is threatened with immediate extinction by the rapidly building cloud. The dual voltage mail units haven't worked on the Southern for quite a long time now!
Well... it actually wasn't as we are getting the last hot, wet and humid vestiges of Summer. But my Bubble cut in her gorgeous (vintage!) 'Red Flare' outfit that I just got and Tammi-Lynn (visiting again, along with her boy Dean Reen! ... and now a sultry brunette, looking a bit more Mod with those lace-up boots accessorizing her vintage 'It's Cold Outside' coat!) don't care as they want to flaunt their favourite coats. I guess they were inspired by the Sear's catalogue shot you see here.
I think he's about 10 feet from him what do you think?
For all you haters THIS IS A REAL TRAIN ALMOST HITTING A CAR! NOT STAGED OR PHOTOSHOPPED!!!
At the same crossing this happened in September.

Dane: “There’s a whole album, actually. I found it at the vinyl shop a few blocks over from the flat. They had another copy, if you want a physical one for your collection. Otherwise, I’ll just rip mine for you.”
Charley: *lowers the headphones* “I would love to drop by and grab a copy, but I’m going to be slammed this week.”
Dane: “The bake sale. I haven’t forgotten.”
Charley: *groans, covering her face* “I wish I could forget. I know it was my idea to go to Yuri, and I don’t regret it, but she is intense.”
Dane: “That’s one word for it.”
Charley: “I’m just glad we waited until the end of the school year. At least I don’t have actual classes to teach on top of everything else. But I need to start planning my lessons for next year, and there’s a new curriculum to learn for the high school kids. Also, I have tutoring for the school’s summer program as well as outreach at the community center. Danny wants to add another practice per week, and I still haven’t finished the required reading for book club, and the meeting is tomorrow night...” *starts to twist hair aggressively around her finger*
Dane: *squeezes her knee* “Breathe, Chuck, and tell me what I can do to help—other than pick you up a copy of Joey in the Hole, because that’s a done deal.”
Charley: *removes the headphones and sits up, curling her legs underneath* “Really? You don’t mind checking to see if the shop still has a copy for me?”
Dane: *tucks Charley’s hair behind her ear, gives her an ‘obviously-I-don’t-mind-at-all-I’d-do-anything-for-you-duh-you’re-really-dense’ look*
Charley: *faint smile* “Thanks.”
Dane: “You’re going to start the baking on Wednesday, yeah?”
Charley: *nods* “We’re using my kitchen and Yuri’s, primarily, but Kumi, Candy, and Emma have offered theirs to us, too. Yuri’s already visited each kitchen to assure they meet her cleanliness standards. She missed her calling. She’d make a great health inspector.”
Dane: *begins rifling through Danny’s vinyl collection* “I expect Yuri would make a great anything and everything, if she were so inclined.”
Charley: “She’s amazing. She got all the permits required for the event. She managed to secure so many donations that we hardly needed to pony-up any cash at all, and the stuff we did have to buy, Yuri used her own money. I’m just nervous I won’t live up to her expectations once we start baking.”
Dane: “You were upfront with her that you didn’t bake much. Besides, you’ve got Molly in your corner, and she can definitely bake. She sent something called hummingbird cake back to our place with Caid, and we inhaled it in about thirty seconds flat. She even impressed Dillon, and you know he’s picky.”
Charley: “Yeah, I’m really lucky to have both Molly and Dillon helping out. Molly can outbake just about anyone, and Dillon’s pastries are incredible. I don’t even like sweets, and I’ll eat his stuff. The way he mixes flavors is crazy. It shouldn’t work, but it always does…” *shakes head, mystified*
Dane: “Well, you certainly get enough chances to sample. He bakes at your place more than ours.”
Charley: “That’s because the stove at you guys’ place only has two working burners and an oven that won’t preheat past three-fifty. *grabs Dane’s phone, turns off music, expression agitated* I just feel like I started this whole bake sale thing, so I should be pulling my own weight, not depending on everyone else.”
Dane (patiently): “Charley, you always pull your own weight, and then some. The trick with you is getting you to ask for and/or accept help in the first place. Molly and Dillon seem dead chuffed to help, and so does Yuri.”
Charley: *noncommittal noise*
Dane: “Candy’s already cleared her schedule this week, and the guys and I are at your disposal. Caid often helped his grandmother bake, and Dillon’s a pastry savant, so they’ll probably be the most useful. Dan and I can fold boxes or wash pans. We all want to help. It’s for a good cause…and it’s for you.”
Charley: *looks at Dane, appreciation palpable* “Thanks. I’ll probably need a few more talk downs before this whole thing is finished. It is really getting to me. It makes me feel useless and out of control…and I’m not good with either.”
Dane: “I’m here for you. Anything you need.” *reaches up, brushes Charley’s cheek with his thumb*
Charley: *presses her cheek into his hand*

Actually found something old in Japan. Had to go up into the hills to find it though. There is actually a lot of old stuff around, just none in the city that is readily shootable.
Actually, I'm not a huge fan of candy canes. That's the reason these ones still have the wrappers on -- they will be added to my nephew's Christmas stockings! In any case, Christmas is almost here, and candy cane shots and hearts are very cliche. Happy Cliche Saturday!
Actually it started with several years of darn hard work but now there is the kiss ...

The Port of Maryborough.
The town actually began with a wharf as once prospective settlers learned that the River Mary was navigable white pastoralist and cotton and maize farmers moved into the districts upstream from around 1848. Then in 1859 as the colony of Queensland was created from New South Wales a new international port was created at Maryborough. The town had moved from West Maryborough to the present site. Consequently the first Customs House was erected in 1861. In 1860 the first vessels arrived at the port of Maryborough direct from Europe with a load of immigrants. By 1869 nearly 7,000 immigrants had landed in Maryborough and by 1878 nearly 16,000 had landed here. In fact between 1860 and 1900 around 22,000 immigrants arrived directly in Maryborough from England and Europe. Maryborough also had a coastal steamer service to Brisbane and Rockhampton. From 1867 it also handled all the goods going into, and the gold coming out of, the goldfields at Gympie. In the last quarter of the 19th century the port of Maryborough handled sawn timber, sugar, wool, meat, gold, maize, etc. Before the end of the 19th century when river ports like Maryborough were about to be forgotten because they could not handle larger steamers its imports and exports were roughly in balance in terms of value. The most valuable exports were: gold, silver, copper, fruit, hides and skins, sugar and wool. Of these the most valuable were sugar £50,000, raw and refined, followed by silver/lead £33,000, gold/silver £9,000 and skin/hides £8,000.
Among the early immigrants were shiploads of German settlers from 1860. As the numbers grew the first Lutheran pastor arrived in 1864 followed by a second in 1867. These and later pastors came from Germany or Denmark, mainly the Schleswig district, which was occupied by Germany from 1864 after it defeated the Danes. Between 1860 and 1891 around 180,000 immigrants arrived in Queensland with an assisted government passage and some rights to lease land. Around 16,000 were non British mainly Germans, Danes, Norwegians and Swedes. Other Australian colonies only gave assisted passages to British immigrants except for Tasmania and Queensland. Most of the non-British immigrants were German but the QLD government’s agent in Germany also recruited Scandinavians, Swiss etc. Queensland became the colony with the greatest number of Danes and it had almost as many Norwegians and Swedes as NSW. Some of these non-British immigrant’s landed in Maryborough with the first ship load arriving in March 1871 on the Reichstag from Hamburg. The Scandinavians especially settled at Tiaro and Tinana near Maryborough, around Bundaberg, Pialba at Hervey Bay and in other places like Kingaroy where Sir Jo Bjelke-Petersen lived. The town of Eidsvold, near Gayndah is a Norwegian name and it was established by the Archer brothers from Larvik in Norway. As most of the Scandinavians were Lutheran (but some were Catholic), Danish, Norwegian and Swedish names are often linked to the Lutheran churches of the Maryborough district. Some Scandinavian names (mainly Danish) of Maryborough early settlers include the Jocumsen, Claussen,Madsen, Kehlet, Weinberg, Okeden, Boge, Möller, etc. Many Danish and other Scandinavian names can also be found in the Polson cemetery at Pialba Hervey Bay such as Christensen, Hansen, Mortensen, Nielsen, Petersen, Thomsen etc.
A stroll down Kent Street from Pallas Street.
1. On the left is Queen Elizabeth rose garden.
2. The Dominion Milling Company factory site. Now derelict. The Maryborough flour mill when erected in 1890 was the furthest north in Australia. It was acquired by the Dominion Milling Company around 1910. The distinctive entrance arch was erected in 1915. All operations ceased in 1977. In more recent years it has been a saw mill and an antiques centre.
3. The old power house from the 1920s when cities like Maryborough had their own electricity generator.
4. The Freemasons Centre.
5. On the right Maryborough High School. Its original grand buildings were opened in 1881 as Maryborough Girls Grammar School.
6. On the left beyond the school oval is Maryborough Boys Grammar School erected in 1881 and the gates erected in 1909. It is now the TAFE campus.
7. The Maryborough Central School. The first school was established in 1862. The grand two storey building was erected at the height of the European immigration period in 1875. More wooden classrooms were built in 1882 as the infant’s school.
8. On right is the City Hall. Built 1906 in American colonial style in red brick. Australia’s only pneumonic plaque outbreak occurred in Maryborough in 1905. Eight people died and a plaque commemorates that sad event.
9. On the left the School of Arts. 427 Kent St. This grand classical building was designed by Adelaide architect John Grainger. It was completed in 1888 replacing a former wooden school of arts building. In 1972 it was purchased by the City of Maryborough for use as a library. The rounded windows above oblong windows is unusual. Cost £3,500.
10. On the right. Finney Isles and Co store 1908. The building was designed by the prominent Bundaberg architect, F. H. Faircloth. Alterations were undertaken to the building in 1918 due to the expansion of Finney, Isles & Co business. The building was purchased by Fritz Kinne in 1923 and their name is in the central pediment. This German background businessman was an alderman and twice Mayor of Maryborough. 384 Kent St
11. On the left before the next intersection. This was the Stupart’s Emporium built in 1883. No 373 Kent St.
12. On the right. The Royal Hotel. Built in 1868 and given its “royal patronage” authority by Governor Bowen of Queensland in that year. Established in 1856 and totally rebuilt in this classical style in 1902.
13. On left at 331 Kent St. The former Australian Joint Stock Bank built in 1882. Great classical features but the windows are too narrow and spoil the effect. Main facade is on the side street. Its proportions are much better. The author of the Mary Poppins book P L Travers was born in the building in 1899. Her father Travers Goff was the bank manager at the time. She was born as Helen Goff. Her statue is next to the building. Look for the street crossing lights showing Mary Poppins.
14. On the left at 327 Kent St. Built in 1915 as the Queensland National bank. Now known as Woodstock House. Good height, grand pilasters up the sides of the building, fine pediment, Corinthian columns with acanthus leaves at the top, both triangular and rounded pediments above windows, good symmetry. A great classical style building.
15.On right at 310 Kent St is the former Francis Hotel. This was the site of the first hotel in Maryborough around 1852. A second storey was added in 1919 with lots of Edwardian woodwork on the balcony. It closed as a hotel in 1992.
16. On the right next to the hotel is the former stores of Douglas Helsham. Construction began in 1874 and was completed in 1875. Helsham employed a Brisbane architect James Cowlishaw.
17. On left at 297 Kent St. The former Royal Bank built in 1888 with almost some Art Nouveau curves. The architect was Italian Victor Caradini. The roof line pediment is “broken” and now includes the name Monsour. Fred Monsour was a Middle Eastern silk and fabric importer. With his brother they had several stores and warehouses but he name in the cartouche these days refers to Dr Monsour a local medical practitioner.
18. At the very end of Kent Street and to the right is the former Engineer’s Arms Hotel. This strange very narrow hotel between two streets was built in 1889 and is Maryborough’s answer to the Flatiron building of New York.
I had a sudden adventure on Wednesday- I actually turned around and went back to shoot this little decaying church because I thought the adventure would have been a perfect gift for my "Secret Santa" person. I would take my "person" exploring ALL over North Alabama as a treat!
While I'm a loner by nature, I don't like doing "loner" things in remote places, so it would have been extra nice with my "person" along for a fun adventure. My "person" is someone who jumps in and shoots anywhere they may travel, often capturing great scenes, graffiti, and meeting cool people- I DO admire that!
***
This month we are doing a Secret Santa type challenge. You all will be assigned someone that you have to gift. They were randomly selected using a very scientific method-the names were pulled out of a hat! : )
I will send each of you the name of the person that you got via flickrmail that way no one will know who got them until the post is made. :)
As for the actual challenge, your gift will be the photo you post. You must post at least one photo, but you may post as many as 4. (Collages are fine this time around, too) You can take a picture of an actual gift you would purchase for your person, or a meal you would make, how you would spend a day with them, or even make it a sort of tribute to them....entirely up to you.
All photos must be posted no later than Christmas Day!
Actually it was after a major storm last winter on the east coast of England, but the colours in the sunset were amazing.
Introduction To Your 6 Pack
Six pack abs are the holy grail of physical fitness when you ask anyone about the male or female physic. The opposite sex will like us more and people of the same sex will be envious of our perfect torso. The truth is, and many won’t tell you this is that it’s actually not that hard to get those killer abs that you crave so much. Unfortunately for men it’s much easier if you’re female to get those perfect abs.
Although women are genetically wired to carry more fat than men, because there body is naturally preparing to nourish a baby, and obviously fat helps to achieve this. The healthy BMI of a women is between 18% and 20% where as it is 10% to 15% for men.
Women also store fat in different places to men. Women tend to store their fat in Hips, Buttocks and thighs. In fact gluteofemoral fat which is stored in the butt and tops of the legs is often thought to be a sign of strong metabolic health. This is why women find it easier to get to the end goal of an amazing six pack.
Unfortunately for men. The main place they store fat is around the abdomen area which is a bit of a bummer if your goal is killer abs. The dreaded beer belly has dashed many a dream of the glorious six pack, but not to worry. It may not be as easy to get abs if you are a man but it’s certainly not that difficult if you follow the right plan of attack. Plan Your 6 Pack Here For FREE
Firstly for both men and women you need to get down to that healthy BMI we spoke about earlier. Men at 10% to 15% and women at 18% and 20%. You might be very surprised when you get here to see that your abs are already pronounced so you have already fought half the battle. The way to get to this point is to eat a healthy, well balanced diet. You need to be sure you keep your body well-nourished with the essential vitamins and minerals while lowering your BMI at the same time.
Phase 1
What Foods To Eat
Protein drinks for example are a great way to lower your BMI while still making sure you stay healthy and always feel full. This is because protein has a high thermic effect which basically means it’s difficult for your body to digest. As a result of this you spend more energy breaking it down when digesting it. To work out how many grams of protein you would need each day, you need to multiply your weight in lbs by 0.8, so for a 170lb person that’s 136 grams of protein a day.
You should also try and opt for lean meats such as turkey and chicken breast without the skin. Tuna and salmon help to keep Omega3 up and also try and keep snacks to just nuts seeds and beans. To bulk out your diet you need to stick to healthy whole grain foods which help provide carbohydrates that keep you energised, fruit and vegetables provide you with vitamins, minerals and fibre, and plenty of dairy foods which give you calcium and natural protein.
Accelerate your weight loss…
To help speed up the weight loss and get to your BMI goal you need to carry out some aerobic activities. These help to speed up the burning of unwanted calories and together with eating healthily will speed up your advance towards your killer abs goal. If you are new to cardio you must start off gradually with something easy such as a brisk walk once per day.
As we are trying to target our abdominal muscles it’s a good idea to try using what is called a sweat belt or Ab belt to help target the stomach area. The reason these are so successful is because of what they target. See how to get hold of a free sweat belt here…
Sweat Belt/Ab Belt
The simple answer to this is yes. Let me explain how. Firstly let me dispel the myth that only overweight unhealthy people sweat. The actual truth is that the healthier you are the more likely you are to sweat. So if you are determined to get to your ideal BMI you better be prepared to sweat…a lot! The reason you sweat more as you get fitter is your body needs to work harder to keep you cool.
Another more direct reason that sweating helps you lose weight is detoxification, which is directly related to weight loss. As our bodies are overloaded with toxins from pollution, poor diet, pesticides, food additives, caffeine and alcohol. Any number of health problems can occur including headaches, bloating and fatigue, but the main problems are often weight gain and cellulite. Your body holds these toxins in your fat store so it keeps them away from the body’s main organs. As sweating is the best way to release these toxins from the body then it stands to reason that excessively sweating in any given area will release massive amounts of unwanted toxins, therefore breaking down that targeted fat store while also ridding the area off access water which further helps to loose inches. As these sweat belts are designed to be inconspicuous they are really easy to wear when going about your normal daily chores. This has the added benefit that whether you are just starting on your road to fitness, or you are already an avid fitness nut you can still benefit from wearing a sweat belt as it just enhances the exercise you are already doing.
Tracking Your Progress
It’s often a great idea to keep a close track of your body measurements. Some people may go a bit too far while losing weight and this can be dangerous. To keep track of your vital statistics you can use something like a body tracking software, this allows you to measure any part of the body that you want to track and plot it in the program. As you regularly plot your measurements you see a graph developing, this allows you to easily see if you’re losing weight too fast or it gives you a massive boost as you can see in black and white how great you are progressing.
This is what we call stage one of operation killer abs. As we have already said, in order for you to see your abs developing you first need to be able to see your abs. Getting your free sweat belt/Ab belt is the ideal way to do this.
Phase 2
Now you are getting nearer to your ideal BMI you can move on to stage 2. In this section we need to start targeting our core fitness. There is no point just working on your abs without working the whole core as this can lead to a back injury. The way we make sure this does not happen is to use something designed specifically for this job.
The Ab Wheel/Ab Roller
At first glance this can look like a very simple piece of equipment. But don’t let that fool you. The Ab roller is actually an amazing piece of home gym equipment, which when used as directed can build muscle in not only your Abs but also your back which helps to build the solid core that we need.
Balancing Your Core
The Ab Roller actually works a number of muscle groups when used correctly. The major muscles worked with the Ab Roller are obviously the abdominal muscles, including the rectus abdominis (the so-called six-pack), the underlying transversus abdominis and the oblique’s which are situated down your sides. What many people don’t realise is that your lat’s, triceps, hip flexors, pectorals, trapezius muscles and glutes also will be worked with the exercise wheel, not to the extent that your core does but as your body tries to balance these muscles are used. It’s a great idea to use the sweat belt in conjuction with the ab roller to maximise results. Get them both for free here.
This is where the differences are between using the ab wheel and doing more regular exercises such as crunches and sit ups. Don’t be fooled into thinking that because the exercise wheel hits many more muscle groups, you get less of a work out on your abs. This isn’t the case. The ab wheel will target your abs and your back while also hitting other smaller muscle groups which get a work out trying to keep your weight distributed correctly.
Ab Wheel Exercises
The traditional way of using the ab wheel is to grasp it in both hands and while on your knees you roll out forward until you reach the plank position. You then reverse that and roll back to your start position without arching your spine. If you want to target a different muscle like your oblique’s then you can roll out at a slight angle. When you have been using it for a while you might want to up the intensity by starting from a standing position. You reach down and grab the ab roller and roll forward from there all the way out to the plank position. You then reverse this as before till you are back in your original pose. Again please regulate the amount of sets you do when you first get started. You will be amazed at how good this works and over doing it at the start may slow down your overall progress.
Phase 3
Ok so now you are at your ideal BMI and you have been ripping it up for a month or so with the ab wheel. You can now see some great definition in your abs and your body generally. Don’t forget the ab wheel hits lots of muscle groups so you WILL notice that lots of your body is getting much more defined. Hopefully you have remembered to keep a track of your progress using the body tracker software we spoke of earlier. Not only will this keep you going when you sometimes feel like you don’t want to work out. Also when people start noticing how good your new killer abs look they WILL be coming over asking how you got so ripped in such a short space of time. Having the data to show people how quickly you progressed might just give them the incentive they need to start and do the same. What better way to top of your new body than helping someone else also achieve theirs.
But were not quite done yet…
Electronic Muscle Toning Belts/Electronic Ab Belts (EAB)
Let’s start by explaining what the electronic ab belt does. Many people think that the electronic ab belt does the same job as the normal sweat belt/ab belt we spoke of in phase1. This is definitely not the case. While the normal ab belt is designed to help you lose the fat around the waist by causing a sauna effect that is concentrated around your tummy while working out, and has the effect off stripping back the unwanted fat so you can actually see the abdominal muscle.
There are certain people that will tell you that the electronic ab belt will get you killer abs in no time by sitting on your backside while eating cakes and sweets. Unfortunately this is not the truth. In fact it’s rubbish. I won’t insult your intelligence by telling you there is a miracle way to acquire your killer abs without any hard work what so ever. There is however a free way to aquire an Electronic Ab Belt, see here.
What I can tell you is this, electronic ab belts do work for the purpose in which they were made. They were designed to target the muscles which other ab exercises find difficult to reach. Firstly the EAB will stimulate the rectus abdominis (6 pack) and the oblique’s on the side of the body which are notoriously hard to work and help shape your waist, it also hits your transversus abdominis which are deep within the abdomen. The EAB is is used to polish all the hard work that you have already put in when using your normal ab belt and working through the phases using your ab wheel as well.
The EAB is an entirely different piece of equipment. Although it is used to get to the same end goal as the normal ab belt, the EAB has been designed to reach certain muscles which are ordinarily really difficult to work and it does this by using electronic impulses. Although we can use the ab wheel to target the muscle groups in general the EAB can laser target the muscles what want to be most pronounced.
Benefits of Using Muscle Toning Belts
So what are the benefits of using the EAB? Firstly let me emphasize that the EAB is not a substitute for healthy eating and plenty of exercise. However in today’s modern world finding the time to fit everything in is very hard and unfortunately looking after our bodies often comes bottom of our to do lists. The EAB allows you to still work those abs while doing other more mundane tasks such as cooking or shopping. You can even wear it at work so you can still put some overtime in or wear it at home while watching television. So as you can see the EAB is a fantastic way for busy people to still commit to their health and fitness while keeping up with whatever today can throw at them.
I hope the above article has been of help to you in your quest for the perfect abs. Please remember that although using the equipment we have recommended will get you your perfect killer abs, it does require some hard work on your part too. Remember to keep track of your progress using the free body tracker software so you can remind yourself how well you are doing if you ever feel like giving up.
Most important: Please read and adhere to all the instructions that you receive with your ab equipment. Saving 5 minutes at the beginning and not reading instructions could end up with you getting hurt and having to postpone showing off your killer abs…
Want A Shortcut To Killer Abs?
We appreciate that you’re dying to get those killer Abs to show off to everyone. Or maybe you just arn’t happy with your body and would love to do something about it.
I suppose it is easier to get talking to that fit guy/girl at the gym if you already have a toned body. You already have something in common to break the ice.
It’s quite an expense for all this equipment maybe you just can’t afford it at the moment?
Maybe you just don’t have time to get those killer Abs you always wanted.
What if I told you there may be an answer!
What if I told you that you could get your hands on a Sweat Belt an Ab Roller and a Muscle Toning Belt and they were all FREE!
Do you think you could find the time to create perfect Abs if all this equipment was for nothing?
Great! I thought so.

Actually a very funny, over-the-top story about Lobo stumbling onto Santa Claus' lair in the North Pole. Lobo learns that Santa rules his realm like a dictator, treating all his subjects (the elves) with little or no respect. Lobo gets caught up in a battle going toe-to-toe with the madman Santa Claus and much violence ensues.

Actually, the Bellaire (Ohio) Railroad Viaduct and Elevated Railway. In the movie, UNSTOPPABLE, Denzel Washington works to stop a speeding runnaway train with several cars of toxic chemicals from hitting this curve and derailing, thus releasing it's toxic load on the public of "Stanton, Pa." The climax of the movie was filmed right here in Bellaire, Ohio.
On a side note, I did not know about the movie being filmed here and was really surprised when I saw this in the movie. I know Bellaire very well. It is the birthplace and home of my father before he and my mother married and they moved to the Youngstown Ohio area. As a child, we would take family trips here to visit with my grandparents who had a farm not far from here (where my father grew up). I can remember seeing Steam locomotives pulling trains across this bridge!
I still have family living in this area.

I admit to not quite knowing just what to do with this camera, or well... I know what to do with the camera, just not necessarily the images it creates. I do know for certain that those pictures will most likely never get me a job as an architect. ;-) Or maybe I shouldn't say I know what to do... I do a little, just not completely. Every camera has a purpose, something it does really well, it is a key that unlocks different perspectives of the world, so that is what I am still working on with the Omniscope. My camera still has training wheels in other words. But we are coming along well, and the difference between what I imagine the shot will look like before it is taken, and what it actually turns out to be is getting smaller and smaller with each roll.
Anyway, this is the Ira Keller Fountain and the Portland Plaza building behind it. Gotta love diverging verticals.
Actually, we were heading out and looking back... those are my Jeep tracks. A long drive back to pavement and hoping to make most of it with a little light left. It didn't help that I felt compelled to stop every 2 seconds to take another picture in the late afternoon light. If you look closely, you can see Cadiz Dunes on the horizon. Converted to b&w, a little texture added, and some additional toning for Sliders Sunday.
Actually he has already arrived to his new home but that is how he was going to start his long journey to USA =)
actually he was surrounded by family, but all other juveniles were away in groups of their own whilst this one was young enough still to be suckling... must have been the last to be born but i am surprised to see Such a baby at Christmas time
Actually I prefer this picture to the previously posted one. This one has a City Circle tram at the stop. Some work with levels here and i've cropped to 2x3.
From Wikipedia:
Southern Cross (formerly and still colloquially known, as Spencer Street) is a major railway station in Docklands, Melbourne. It is on Spencer Street, between Collins and La Trobe Streets, at the western edge of the central business district. The Etihad Stadium sports arena is 500 metres north-west of the station.
The station is the terminus of the state's regional railway network operated by V/Line, The Overland rail service to Adelaide, and NSW TrainLink XPT services to Sydney. It is also served by suburban rail services operated by Metro Trains, being one of five stations on the City Loop, a mostly underground railway that encircles the Central Business District. It is the second busiest railway station in Melbourne's metropolitan network, with 16.8 million passenger movements recorded in 2011/12. These figures exclude V/Line passengers who use the station.
Southern Cross also has a coach terminal underneath the Spencer Outlet shopping complex. Skybus Super Shuttle services to Melbourne Airport and Sunbus Shuttle services to Avalon Airport operate from there, as well as Firefly Express and Greyhound Australia interstate coach services, and V/Line coach services to Mildura, Yarram, Mansfield, and other parts of Victoria not served by rail.
Opened as Spencer Street Station in 1859, five years after the other major Melbourne rail terminus at Flinders Street, the station was a dead-end terminus, running parallel to Spencer Street,[4] comprised of a single main platform with a dock platform at the north end. It was not until 1874 that an extra platform was provided. The two major city stations were not linked until 1879, when a single-track ground-level line was opened. It operated only at night, and only for freight trains. In the 1880s, it was proposed that Spencer Street station be removed in order to facilitate the westward expansion of the city, but the plan was subsequently rejected.
Southern Cross was redeveloped by the Civic Nexus consortium, following an innovative design by Grimshaw Architects which features an undulating roof. Construction began in October 2002 and was completed in late 2006, with the majority of the transport facilities finished in time for the 2006 Commonwealth Games. The central features of the design include a wave-shaped roof, a new entrance and concourse on Collins Street, a new coach interchange, a new food court, a bar/restaurant, separate retail outlets inside the station and a separate shopping complex between Bourke and La Trobe Streets. This new shopping complex originally comprised a Direct Factory Outlets centre, a Virgin Megastore, along with food courts. This opened on 30 November 2006, although not all tenancies were occupied, and stage 2 was opened in March 2007. In 2009 the DFO relocated to a new site at South Wharf, the shopping centre being refitted by owner Austexx and rebranded simply as "Spencer Street fashion station". In 2013 the shopping complex was rebranded as "Spencer Outlet Centre". In addition to the physical modifications, the station was renamed from Spencer Street to Southern Cross on 13 December 2005.
In May 2014, the historic Water Tower Clock was installed in the concourse of the station.[26] The clock had originally been erected in 1882 at Flinders Street station, opposite the end of Elizabeth Street, atop a lattice tower about 60 feet (18 m) high. In 1902 the clock was moved to Princes Bridge station, and in 1910 it was relocated again, to Spencer Street station, where it remained until it was removed as part of the station's redevelopment in the mid-1960s. The clock mechanism was given to Museum Victoria, but the characteristic turret that housed the clock was sold to a scrap metal merchant. It was later rescued by private collectors, and the clock was returned to public ownership, being put on display in 1999 at the Scienceworks Museum, Spotswood. The clock was extensively restored before its return to Southern Cross, but the original mechanism remains in the collection of Museum Victoria.

It was requested I take some photos showing the differences between my resin Kinoko Juice Kiki (Frozen Milk skin) and my Azone Hello Kikipop ABS/PVC Kiki who was released as a peachy normal skin. My resin Kiki has suede only in her neck, and so poses as she would "right out of the box."
Both can raise their arms palms up and down, however the resin Kiki's shoulders have more free range of motion. It is advised on Kikipop's paperwork to not push her shoulders beyond a comfortable range. Instead, rotate the arm so that it can be moved further.
Resin Kiki's biggest advantage over Kikipop is her thigh rotation range. Kikipop is only able to move her thighs forward and back.
Kikipop might have slightly better neck range. It looks much superior because she actually HOLDS it better. My resin Kiki came with sueding in her neck, but perhaps with hot glue sueding she'd be able to keep her head the same way Kikipop does. Resin Kiki's neck is the same as most BJDs, Kikipop is a ball peg similar to what I've seen on Nendoroids.
Both came with flat and grasped hands. Resin Kiki's attach by magnet, Kikipop by peg.
I actually think the previous pack is just a little bit too small as a doll carrier. The boxy shape of this pack fits more than the classic series.
Comparing this to some other similar packs, i choose it because the laptop compartment doesnt take too much inner space, and seems that this is the only one not exceeds the carry-on size limit of LCCs. But I dont know if this pack fits the under-seat space of an A320.
It really took a while before this model was done. Actually I wanted to present it at LEGO World 2013 but didn't manage to get it ready. It was shown at LEGO World 2014 in Copenhagen but afterwards I still had to do some minor changes.
Anyhow; the model. In July 2011 I was visiting the UK for my job and I had the opportunity to do some sightseeing. Just before heading for the UK I saw a couple of pictures of NYR's immaculate Kenworth K100E Aerodyne in "B.J. & the Bear: outfit. A couple of months before they imported one for the States and converted it into a heavy recovery vehicle by fitting a Century Rotator 1140. I took a lot of pictures at their yard (and of course I was very please it was there!). Back home I started to find more details about the K100 and Century Rotator and start building a chassis and cab.
I didn't use chrome before and had to start a collection of chrome pieces. I discovered it's rather expensive and I was hesitating whether I should continue the project or not. Mid 2011 I still had the old Scania 141 with Holmes and when I removed the cab of that one and placed the K100 cab onto the chassis I thought it might be better to start with a smaller truck with some chrome parts. And that's how I start building the K100 with Holmes twin boom; www.flickr.com/photos/51102529@N07/sets/72157631712541786/
But I had to continue with the NYR truck. The other K100 did turn out very well and the Aerodyne would be even better (red, white and black are always good to combine). So I continued early 2013. In a meanwhile Brickonwheels started to build his Pete 379 with Century Rotator 1750; www.flickr.com/photos/bricksonwheels/sets/721576345065103...
From a truck photographer I received some very useful pictures of the century rotator, even a few production pictures. He I really could see all details which enabled me to build quite an exact replica. At a heavy recovery show in Belgium in June 2013 I had a closer look to a few examples of Century Rotators which where there.
The model has a full detailed chassis with drive shafts, air suspension, axle stabilizers, etc. etc. When I was building the chassis I recon it would become long, very long. Without the body should say there wouldn't come an end to the chassis … Nice challenge to get it straight without bending. The cab is tilted with an accurate Cummins 6 cylinder in line engine underneath. This one has some chrome touches. The cab interior differs a bit from the old K100; this one is from a later generation, on of the last produced in 2003.
The body work I had to align with the cab (especially with the striping). As I wouldn't change anything to the design of it (it was perfect) I had to modify the body work quite some times. I think I rebuilt it seven of eight times. The body work consist of one center part at the front and two mirrored sections on each side. These are merged to the chassis with traverse beams. On the truck chassis there's a heavy subframe for the crane. I used a classic turn table to attach the crane base. The crane base also was quite a challenge to build; I wanted to have the shapes correctly. While there aren't any blueprints available of the rotator I really had to study all pictures I took. When building the crane I discovered the truck chassis was a bit too short; I disassembled the chassis and stretched it with three studs. It really was a lot of work but otherwise it wouldn't be right.
The boom has three stages and I chose to use panels, brackets and tiles to make these section. In reality there's a little space between the boom and crane base. The outer section is just less than six studs wide, the middle section four studs and inner section a little more than three studs. I was quite expensive to collect all these pieces but I thought it would fit better.
The truck has three winches; two on top of the crane base and one in the body work.
I spent a lot of time on detailing, like the fuel tanks, air compressor, light bar, support legs, storage cabinets etc. etc.
It's my largest solo vehicle so far, apart from the huge Liebherr cranes I built many years ago. In a time span of two and a half years I spent many hours on it. Mostly it really was fun and exciting to build but sometimes quite frustrating. Patience is the magic word!
Actually a male Green Sweat Bee approaching the female on the flower. These are not aggressive bees and are great pollinators. The males have no stinger at all.
It kind of literally is, as my oldest son and his wife own 18 acres of forest land looking over the McKenzie River of Oregon.
My four year old (she actually pushed the shutter button so technically this is her shot!) and two year old granddaughters hiked up a hill to help me take this shot.
I actually really like the coloring in this. I can't believe that tomorrow is my last day of the photography challenge.
I got 300 subscribers on YouTube last night, so that's really nice.
I've been obsessed with the Myers-Briggs personality test lately for some reason. I guess I just like having a better understanding of the way people think and act. My personality type is INTJ (Introverted, Intuition, Thinking, Judging), and it suits me absolutely perfectly.
I don't want to go back to school tomorrow. Really.
Think I was actually out of photos? I did! Until I remembered that I saved a few fireworks shots to post later on. Enjoy!
Thanks for viewing and have a magical day!

Actually in this case there is 4 sides.
This angel has 4 faces, getting on the other side is a bit risky ! ..
You can see behind the angel it is 100 or 2oo feet straight down.
You have seen these angels before so you must know we are at the "Monkey Temple"...;-0
Speaking of which they are zipping all around my legs right now.
Some curious, some hungry, some pissed off, and some just to lazy to move in this high heat.
