I believe that a long walk and a calm conversation is an incredible
combination if you want to build a bridge to a successful relationship.

So for anyone who hasn't heard yet MELO 2017 is happening at the end of this month! :D
I'm pretty excited because I wasn't able to enter any of the previous Middle Earth Lego Olympics. So I decided I would do a bit of practice and make a really small little build. Might make some more at some point before the contest.
Part of the reason I made this was to try getting better at building, so if any of you want I'm looking for comments about what I could improve and what I did well. (Not just "Nice build" comments).
I'm also curious to know who else is entering MELO this year? :)
this fogged in morning.
if my sleepy saturday winter brain had a scan, i suspect it could look like this.... and the barns would build walls around the thoughts, and the mist would be a barrier to any demands from an external world.
peace :)
South Lake Rd. turns off of Highway 168 out of Bishop, CA. I had been exploring the Sabrina and North Lake areas earlier and wanted to explore this lake also. The aspens along the drive were much better than when I got to the lake. I pulled off the side of the road to capture the grove and had quite a few people join me as I was shooting.
There was a waterfall just to the left of where I framed this picture, but I couldn't get the whole view in one picture. Someone was able to build their vacation home right next to the waterfall and had this amazing view. I was just a little jealous.
I just like this house set against a blue sky. It's a new build in Burns beach area. Overlooking the sea. Perth, Western Australia
This is a trend apparently and I figured why not?
But yeesh, I gotta build more! This is more or less a collection of everything I've built for the past year, specifically the things I think are worth showing again. Largely, this is my Forms of Gotham collection, which has rather put me off building brick figures for a while honestly...all that said, the experience of building them and seeing people's reactions towards them at Brickworld Chicago were worth all the tens of hours I spend on them.
And All the Powers of Hell was another highlight, although to be honest it did fall to the back of my mind--despite winning the Vignette award I've been hunting for years. Still, it has a place in my heart and as such is still constructed and boxed away for BW '17. Aside from the figures Batman, Catwoman, and Penguin, its the only thing that remains of my '16 Convention tour builds.
My Alien and Predators builds are something I'm proud of, even though they totally point out how I can change focus on a dime whenever anyone mentions Predators or posts a Xenomorph. To wit, I've been secretly hive building for the past half year; building another queen, gathering eggs, makin' drones, hunting down those elusive black minifigure binoculars, all for the inevitable time when I'll need them. At the moment I'm planning on building Alien something for BW '17, although that might just be the amazing Covenant trailer speaking! So no promises yet!
Before I get into the future, I first want to note the wonderful experiences I had this year with my friends at Eurobricks, both online and especially in person, as we constructed our group collab for Brickworld, Ready Set Escargot!. We put tons of hours into a truly collaborative effort and finally getting the win was icing on the cake. As we look forward to next year's build, I hope that we can continue that awesome tradition! Incidentally, I don't have any pictures of my Snail, but I made the sand blue viking one, if anyone is wondering.

Onto the future, one of the reasons I've not appeared to be building much (specifically in the later half) of 2016, is because I'm building for 2017! Right now I'm finishing some colorful magazine builds, but I've also locked down my convention layout concept for next year, one that'll use a lot of colors I normally wouldn't touch with a ten foot poll-- yellow, red, and orange. Brick figures will be minimal, at least until 2018, and I'm also planning two separate series of builds of the superhero variety. Either way, I can't wait to get started!
And finally, thank you to everyone for your support!
At the southern end of the Earth, a NASA plane carrying a team of scientists and a sophisticated instrument suite to study ice is returning to surveying Antarctica. For the past eight years, Operation IceBridge has been on a mission to build a record of how polar ice is evolving in a changing environment.
The information IceBridge has gathered in the Antarctic, which includes data on the thickness and shape of snow and ice, as well as the topography of the land and ocean floor beneath the ocean and the ice, has allowed scientists to determine that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet may be in irreversible decline. Researchers have also used IceBridge data to evaluate climate models of Antarctica and map the bedrock underneath Antarctic ice.

I was taking photos of the Boston skyline when I rotated my camera to this Arlington hillside. That's a famous watertower, build to mimic a Doric temple in Greece.
Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike
≠======================≠
The Black-faced Cuckoo Shrike builds a small nest in "Y" on a branch. Tiny sticks and cobweb are the major elements.
No fancy sides or adornments. The young sit down in the nest and generally are unseen.
View of Cebu city from the SM Seaside mall. I didn't notice all the cranes on top of the buildings until I started processing the photo.
It's finished. I seem to have forgotten to order the blue 6x6 dish that will go on those studs on the top, but otherwise it's all done bar the stickers. Sorry these photos are crap, but I don't know when I will get to take decent ones.
The Derwent River at Bridgewater-Granton has traditionally been traversed by an iron bridge and a causeway (from where I am taking this photograph). Currently the largest infrastructure program in Tasmania is taking place to build a huge bridge that will sweep in a giant curve from the Bridgewater side to Granton on the southern bank at a length of over one kilometre.

Pop tart and her kitties thinking about how they should paint their monsters - hmmmm a little poodle is sneaking a peek too!
Because the settlement expands quickly, roads need to be build.
Another Build for "9 Kingdoms" at Rogue Bricks.
A modernization of the Adventurers: Dino Island set 5920 "Island Racer", my very first Lego car set. Adventurers has long been one of my favorite themes for its period setting, and Sam Sinister’s "Island Racer" is one of my favorite sets in the theme. In this design homage, the form has been normalized to be closer to real-world styling of the era, with the inclusion of details such as bumpers, front cycle fenders, and a hood ornament.
More photos available in the build album. Many thanks to the Lego Car Blog for their post about this build!

10th build in my Iron Builder round against Duncan, using the Technic Rotor Blade part in Red.
I've used the part 14 times.
Isolated storm cells as viewed to the northwest from Katherine, Northern Territory. The cell in front was some 95 km away near Pine Creek and the one on the right and the back was a further 100 km just east of Adelaide River township.
