Também usei o Connect the Dots com o Graphite da Chanel. Ficou mais discreto que o normal né? E os brilhinhos do Graphite espalharam por cima dos pedaços do Connect the Dots.

Voronezh is a city and the administrative centre of Voronezh Oblast in southwestern Russia straddling the Voronezh River, located 12 kilometers (7.5 mi) from where it flows into the Don River. The city sits on the Southeastern Railway, which connects western Russia with the Urals and Siberia, the Caucasus and Ukraine, and the M4 highway (Moscow–Voronezh–Rostov-on-Don–Novorossiysk). In recent years the city has experienced rapid population growth, rising in 2021 to 1,057,681, up from 889,680 recorded in the 2010 Census, making it the 14th-most populous city in the country.
For many years, the hypothesis of the Soviet historian Vladimir Zagorovsky dominated: he produced the toponym "Voronezh" from the hypothetical Slavic personal name Voroneg. This man allegedly gave the name of a small town in the Chernigov Principality (now the village of Voronizh in Ukraine). Later, in the 11th or 12th century, the settlers were able to "transfer" this name to the Don region, where they named the second city Voronezh, and the river got its name from the city. However, now many researchers criticize the hypothesis, since in reality neither the name of Voroneg nor the second city was revealed, and usually the names of Russian cities repeated the names of the rivers, but not vice versa.
A comprehensive scientific analysis was conducted in 2015–2016 by the historian Pavel Popov. His conclusion: "Voronezh" is a probable Slavic macrotoponym associated with outstanding signs of nature, has a root voron- (from the proto-Slavic vorn) in the meaning of "black, dark" and the suffix -ezh (-azh, -ozh). It was not “transferred” and in the 8th - 9th centuries it marked a vast territory covered with black forests (oak forests) - from the mouth of the Voronezh river to the Voronozhsky annalistic forests in the middle and upper reaches of the river, and in the west to the Don (many forests were cut down). The historian believes that the main "city" of the early town-planning complex could repeat the name of the region – Voronezh. Now the hillfort is located in the administrative part of the modern city, in the Voronezh upland oak forest. This is one of Europe's largest ancient Slavic hillforts, the area of which – more than 9 hectares – 13 times the area of the main settlement in Kyiv before the baptism of Rus.
In it is assumed that the word "Voronezh" means bluing - a technique to increase the corrosion resistance of iron products. This explanation fits well with the proximity to the ancient city of Voronezh of a large iron deposit and the city of Stary Oskol. As well as the name of Voroneț Monastery known for its blue shade.
Folk etymology claims the name comes from combining the Russian words for raven (ворон) and hedgehog (еж) into Воронеж. According to this explanation two Slavic tribes named after the animals used this combination to name the river which later in turn provided the name for a settlement. There is not believed to be any scientific support for this explanation.
In the 16th century, the Middle Don basin, including the Voronezh river, was gradually conquered by Muscovy from the Nogai Horde (a successor state of the Golden Horde), and the current city of Voronezh was established in 1585 by Feodor I as a fort protecting the Muravsky Trail trade route against the slave raids of the Nogai and Crimean Tatars. The city was named after the river.
17th to 19th centuries
In the 17th century, Voronezh gradually evolved into a sizable town. Weronecz is shown on the Worona river in Resania in Joan Blaeu's map of 1645. Peter the Great built a dockyard in Voronezh where the Azov Flotilla was constructed for the Azov campaigns in 1695 and 1696. This fleet, the first ever built in Russia, included the first Russian ship of the line, Goto Predestinatsia. The Orthodox diocese of Voronezh was instituted in 1682 and its first bishop, Mitrofan of Voronezh, was later proclaimed the town's patron saint.
Owing to the Voronezh Admiralty Wharf, for a short time, Voronezh became the largest city of South Russia and the economic center of a large and fertile region. In 1711, it was made the seat of the Azov Governorate, which eventually morphed into the Voronezh Governorate.
In the 19th century, Voronezh was a center of the Central Black Earth Region. Manufacturing industry (mills, tallow-melting, butter-making, soap, leather, and other works) as well as bread, cattle, suet, and the hair trade developed in the town. A railway connected Voronezh with Moscow in 1868 and Rostov-on-Don in 1871.
I feel the thin mood of what's about to happen. Spring starts out in the open, then slowly winds its way into the forest. Everywhere past the treeline is a little bit behind, still some scattered snow where the pines crowd close, and everything down on the bottom wants warmth and light. Soon, there'll be ladyslippers blooming, bugs buzzing along the swamps and puddles that only dry in the drought of midsummer. These roads explain exactly what keeps me going, a little question of the curve I'm trying to answer. If I don't know what's around the bend, the pull of finding out will push me that one kilometer further. If my knees are aching, or my mood is dark, there's no better cure than connecting two somewheres by a beautiful middle of nowhere. If I'm all caught up in the twisting and turning, I never feel my muscles burning. There's a high to hiking history, out of the muddy lowlands with all my worries intact. All that changes is my mind.

Nearly four miles northeast of Washington Pass lies a massive peak with a vengeance. Silver Star Mountain, connected by the Vasiliki Ridge and Wine Spires, and separated by a 300 foot deep col, has two summits: the eastern and western. The former [of the two summits] rises at 8,876 feet and the latter rises at slightly over 8,840 feet. At the mountain's west peak's northern ridge is where the marvelous Wine Spires are found. Running south, the Vasiliki Ridge runs from about 7,600 feet to a little over 8,000 feet above sea-level!!

Sitting on the Iowa Southern Connector at Albia was BNSF 512 looking very fresh. Once on hot shot Santa Fe pig trains, it will be given new life as a remote control unit in some yard on the BNSF system.
Eight years ago a group started in Milton with the goal to provide a space for those in Milton who were single or couples without kids and it grew friendships. And the group had a huge impact on my life and the lives of others over the course of its life. But now with things changing it came time to dissolve the formal aspects of the group with one final BBQ where it all started in Dempsey Park.

I know, it could be better, especially the ghosting around the fine lines. I have to use more time for retouching.
But it'll be okay in the future .
This is the fourth Ford Transit Connect to join my collection and is a canine support unit with the fire brigade, carrying their fire investigation sniffer dogs. It is of course the Cork City version from Oxford Diecast with the brigade names removed and a change of identity, a very simple addition to the fleet.
