Happy Truck Thursday!
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.
Architecture is a way of translating dreams into the real world.

Clambering men in big bad boots
Dug up my den, dug up my roots.
Treated us like plasticine town
They built us up and knocked us down.
From Meccano to Legoland,
Here they come with a brick in their hand,
Men with heads filled up with sand,
Let's build.

Das American Museum of Natural History in Central Park West Ecke 79. Straße in New York, gegründet 1869, ist eines der größten Naturkundemuseen der Welt. Im Mai 2023 wurde das Richard Gilder Center for Science, Education and Innovation eröffnet. Es war fast 10 Jahre in Planung und Bau und kostete circa 465 Mio. USD. Sowohl die Exponate als auch die Architektur des Gebäudes sind spektakulär.

The American Museum of Natural History in Central Park West at 79th Street in New York, founded in 1869, is one of the largest natural history museums in the world. The Richard Gilder Center for Science, Education and Innovation opened in May 2023. It took almost 10 years to plan and build and cost around USD 465 million. Both the exhibits and the architecture of the building are spectacular.
A pair of Union Pacific SD70M's work a local as they pull out of Peach Yard in Fort Worth, Texas and build their outbound train. The train is on the Duncan Subdivision, passing on the lowest level of a triple crossing of sorts with the UP Choctaw Subdivision and the TEXRail tracks passing overhead.

Took several years for a skilled craft man to build and decorate this wooden Romany Gypsy caravan. Now on it's way to a client in New York. Old habits die hard. Once upon a time I would contribute photo-features just like this one to glossy regional magazines,. Sadly they are no more, but still come across pictures and stories of interest which at least i can keep on file together with a chance to snap a picture or two.
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? :)

The Brighton Eye
Brighton used to have a Brighton Eye the same as this one but it had to go when Brighton and Hove City Council agreed a deal with British Airways to build the i360 on the site of the old West Pier. The attraction cost £46 million, with £36 million being funded by a Public Works Loan Board (PWLB) loan through B&H City Council.
Formerly known as the "Brighton i360", the project aimed to attract up to 800,000 paying customers every year. The owner of the site, the West Pier Trust, hoped in 2014 that a successful i360 would lead to the rebuilding of the historic West Pier.
In June 2018, disappointing visitor numbers forced the owners to ask B&H City Council and the LEP for better loan repayment terms. The local paper reported that "in the first full year, from August 2016, the i360 had just over 500,000 visitors, significantly fewer than the 800,000 predicted." The shortfall in visitors was blamed on “poor weather and the unreliable train service to and from London”.
The i360 made a loss of more than £5 million last year, the latest financial reports have revealed. B&H City Council are now owed almost £48 million as the attraction suffered another successive year in the red.
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!
Photographing landscapes around sunrise and sunset is often filled with anticipation. Wondering whether the light will be "epic" or will you get skunked.
Join me in Palouse June 13-16 and we'll chase light and find scenes like this! Link: jimpatterson.photo/palouse
The Humble Administrator's Garden has an entire section full of bonsai trees.
The Humble Administrator's Garden is one of the prized gardens in Suzhou (it's a UNESCO World Heritage Site) and was originally completed in 1526 and took 16 years to build. In ancient times, prominent Chinese men would retire and build huge gardens as a symbol of their wealth and taste. This garden was originally commissioned by Wang Xiancheng and was designed by Wen Zhengming.

🎶[Sultans of Swing (Dire Straits)] 🎶
🎶[Sultans of Swing (Mark Knopfler)] 🎶
You get a shiver in the dark
It's raining in the park, but meantime
South of the river, you stop, and you hold everything
A band is blowing Dixie, double-four time
You feel alright when you hear the music ring
Well, now you step inside
But you don't see too many faces
Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down
Competition in other places
Ah, but the horns, they're blowing that sound
Way on down south
Way on down south, London town
Check out guitar George
He knows all the chords
Mind, it's strictly rhythm
He doesn't wanna make it cry or sing
Yes and an old guitar is all he can afford
When he gets up under the lights to play his thing
And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene
He's got a daytime job, he's doing alright
He can play the honky tonk like anything
Saving it up for Friday night
With the Sultans
With the Sultans of Swing
Yeah
And a crowd of young boys
They're fooling around in the corner
Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies
And their platform soles
They don't give a damn
About any trumpet-playing band
It ain't what they call "Rock and Roll"
And the Sultans
Yeah, the Sultans, they play Creole
Creole
And then the man, he steps right up to the microphone
And says at last, just as the time bell rings
"Goodnight, now it's time to go home"
Then he makes it fast with one more thing
"We are the Sultans—
We are the Sultans of Swing"
- Mark Knopfler

Built for the Stairway Tales category in the 2024 Summer Joust
This was quite the challenge to build, but super fun and I am quite happy with the results.
European Greenfinch / carduelis chloris. Calke Park, Derbyshire. 02/10/19.
'A SCARCE TREAT.'
I'm usually guaranteed views of Greenfinch whenever I go to Calke Park, which is a great pleasure.. They are a scarce treat for me these days, due to their huge population decline.
Gone are the Spring mornings filled with their monotonous, 'ripped material' singing ... and the days when my seed feeders were literally covered with jostling olive-green feathers and bright yellow wing flashes! Sad times.
I built this little pig initially for a different category, but I liked the thing so much I decided to use it on a vignette. So this is my entry for the 12x12 Vignette category in this year's Summer Joust.
