I made this Captain Cold fig, just a few days ago, and when I came across, Leo Vizzutti contest, I knew I had to build a vignette for him.
The fig itself is my old Star-Lord V2 custom, with an entire repaint and new details and bits glued on.
The Vig is a little ice Cave scene. I considered adding a penguin, but he didn't make it into the final build.
Thanks!

Took a hike today & ended up by a lake.
We skipped stones and hit rocks with sticks as if baseballs and basebats.
I'm just warning you guys there's going to be a ton more couple-y pictures from this weekend. My camera got a lot of use. aha.
Wow. My photostream got 7,250 views yesterday. That is so many views. I've never had so many views. The closest I've come to that was about 4,500. Thank you guys so much. You have no idea how much that means to me. Really. Thank you!
Oh and thank you so much to Adriane for my 2nd testimonial! :)
Since the weather was reasonnably nice, I decided to walk from the the Exhibition by Manfred Menzel and Christoph Schrief (www.flickr.com/photos/herrsharif/49457357587/in/dateposted/) in Offenbach back to Frankfurt along the river.

Comment fonctionne un four à goémon ?
L’incinération des laminaires sèchées s’effectue vers le début de l’automne, en plein air, à proximité des lieux de récolte, dans des fours de type assez primitif. Un four est une rigole de 10 à 15 mètres de long et de 60 centimètres de large pour 40 centimètres de profondeur environ. Des dalles de pierre tapissent le fond et les parois de la fosse. Le feu y est allumé avec des genêts et des ajoncs.
Quand le four est chaud, on répartit les laminaires sèches en couches minces et le feu s’entretient ainsi, en partie étouffé en rajoutant de temps à autre du goémon frais. La température atteint 800°. Peu à peu se forme une bouillie grise que l’on doit remuer avec de gros bâtons ferrés. Dans cet état pâteux, on sépare la masse en blocs de 50 centimètres environ avec des laminaires fraîches. On obtient ainsi lors du refroidissement, des blocs ou ‘pains’ de soude.
Cinq à six tonnes de goémon frais donnent une tonne de goémon sec avec lequel on prépare environ 200 kg de soude, et plus tard près de 10 kilos d’iode...

Une industrie chimique en Bretagne
La Bretagne, n’est pas particulièrement réputée pour son industrie chimique. Pourtant, depuis les premières décennies du 18e siècle, c’est à dire depuis le début de la chimie "moderne", une activité chimique y est menée, sans interruption, autour des algues. (Voir)
L’industrie de la "soude" (carbonate de sodium) se développe d’abord. On extrait ce produit des cendres de goémons séchés. Il est indispensable à la fabrication du verre. Cette activité s’arrête à la fin du 18e siècle quand de nouveaux procédés sont découverts.
Elle reprend en 1829 après que le chimiste Bernard Courtois ait découvert, en 1812, un nouveau et utile produit dans les cendres d’algues : l’iode. L’iode est utilisée, en particulier, en photographie et en médecine. Sa production en Bretagne s’arrête en 1952 à cause de la concurrence de l’iode extrait des nitrates du Chili.
Aujourd’hui le relais est pris par l’extraction des alginates contenus dans les grandes laminaires. En 1883 Edward Stanford isole l’algine des algues, plus tard le norvégien Axel Kefting en extrait l’acide alginique. La production à grande échelle commence en 1930. La Bretagne en produit environ 2000 tonnes dans les usines de Lannilis et Landerneau. Les alginates sont des agents épaississants et stabilisateurs qui interviennent aussi bien dans l’industrie pharmaceutique que dans l’industrie alimentaire ou celle du papier, des colorants ou des produits de moulage.
Plus confidentiels mais tout aussi riches d’intérêt sont les usages alimentaires, pharmaceutiques et cosmétiques des algues.De nombreux laboratoires, dans le Finistère, travaillent dans ces domaines pour des produits " haut de gamme " souvent destinés à l’exportation.

____________________________
A chemical industry in Brittany, in the past and today
Northern Finistère, in Brittany, is not really welknown for its chemical industry. Yet, since the 17th century, that is to say when chemistry started to develop, a chemical industry was carried out, non stop, around seaweed.
In the past
The industry of « soda » (sodium carbonate) first developed. This product is extracted from ashes of dried seaweed. It is necessary to make glass and soap. That activity came to an end at the end of the 18th century when new ways were discovered.
It resumed in 1829 after Bernard Courtois, the chemist, had discovered in 1812 a new an useful product in seaweed ashes : iode. It is mainly used in photo-making and medecine. Its production in Brittany stopped in 1952, because of the competition of iodine, extracted from nitrates in Chili.
Today
Today, the extraction of alginates contained in big laminaria has taken over. In 1883, Edward Stanford isolated the algine of seaweed, later Axel Kefting, a Norvegian, extracted algine acid. Its production on a large scale started in 1930. Brittany produces about 2000 tons in its factories in Lannilis and Landerneau. Alginates are thickening and stabilying agents, that are used both in the pharmaceutical industry and food industry, or in that of paper, colouring or moulding products.
The use of seaweed in food, pharmacy or cosmetics is less known., though worthy of interest. Many laboratories in Finistere work in that field for « top quality » products, often meant for export.
The burning of seaweed
Each year, the museum of seaweed gatherers, in Plouguerneau, on the Northern coast of Finistère organises the burning of seaweed in its old furnaces so as to get ashes with a large amount of soda. We went on the spot, to extract a « soda loaf », in a compact shape. The hot cinders seem to be melting, and are cast in the cells of the furnace, while they are cooling.
The mechanical processing of the ashes :
We first roughly broke the « soda loaf » with a hammer. We, then, crushed the ashes in a mortar with a pestel. Then, we sifted them, to obtain a thin powder.
The washing of the ashes
We left to boil 20g of the ashes in 100 cm3 of water for about 5 min. We filtered it. A solid deposit of about 9g was left (weighed after drying). The solution contains soluble substances, mainly carbonate and iodur ions.
Your comments and faves are greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
Masked Lapwing
Scientific Name: Vanellus miles
Description: Masked Lapwings are large, ground-dwelling birds that are closely related to the waders. The Masked Lapwing is mainly white below, with brown wings and back and a black crown. Birds have large yellow wattles covering the face, and are equipped with a thorny spur that projects from the wrist on each wing. The spur is yellow with a black tip. The Masked Lapwing has two subspecies resident in Australia. The southern subspecies has black on the hind neck and sides of breast, and has smaller facial wattles. Northern birds are smaller, without the partial black collar, but have a much larger wattle, which covers most of the side of the face. The sexes are similar in both subspecies, although the male tends to have a larger spur. Young Masked Lapwings are similar to the adult birds, but may have a darker back. The wing spur and facial wattles are either absent or smaller in size. The southern subspecies is also known as the Spur-winged Plover.
Similar species: The Banded Lapwing, V. tricolor, is much smaller (25 cm to 29 cm). It has a mostly black head and upper breast, with a distinct white eyestripe and bib. It also has a distinctive red patch at the base of the bill.
Distribution: The Masked Lapwing is common throughout northern, central and eastern Australia. Masked Lapwings are also found in Indonesia, New Guinea, New Caledonia and New Zealand. The New Zealand and New Caledonian populations have been formed from birds that have flown there from Australia.
Habitat: The Masked Lapwing inhabits marshes, mudflats, beaches and grasslands. It is often seen in urban areas. Where this bird is used to human presence, it may tolerate close proximity; otherwise it is very wary of people, and seldom allows close approach.
Feeding: Masked Lapwings feed on insects and their larvae, and earthworms. Most food is obtained from just below the surface of the ground, but some may also be taken above the surface. Birds are normally seen feeding alone, in pairs or in small groups.
Breeding: Masked Lapwings may breed when conditions are suitable. Both sexes share the building of the nest, which is a simple scrape in the ground away from ground cover. This nest is often placed in inappropriate locations, such as school playing fields or the roofs of buildings. Both sexes also incubate the eggs and care for the young birds. The young birds are born with a full covering of down and are able to leave the nest and feed themselves a few hours after hatching.
The Masked Lapwing is notorious for its defence of its nesting site. This is particularly the case after the chicks have hatched. Adults will dive on intruders, or act as though they have a broken wing in an attempt to lure the intruder away from the nest.
Minimum Size: 33cm
Maximum Size: 38cm
Average size: 36cm
Breeding season: At any time of the year
Clutch Size: 3 to 5

Last week's self portrait.
I had a hard time choosing between this photo and the first on in the comments. I wanted an SP that showed me in Ilocos (where I went for my fieldwork). Both shots were taken there, but this one doesn't really scream "Ilocos", unlike the one below. In the end, I chose this shot anyway because I liked the mood. Besides, I've already uploaded a shot of the windmills yesterday.
Thanks Amie for this shot (and for all the ones in the comments too). This was taken at a tiny view deck somewhere near the Ilocos border. I don't really know what the place was called. The view was amazing though.
comments off (apart from Hannah had already commented before i changed the settings)
thank you Hannah x
Any comments and faves are much appreciated!! Thank you!

'I'm the mighty one'. The powerful Male Greenfinch in prime breeding plumage, West Yorkshire. So Sad to see the Greenfinch added to our UK RED LIST of our most endangered bird species December 1st 2021.
Many thanks for visiting my Flickr pages...Your visits, interest, comments and kindness to 'fave' my photos is very much appreciated, Steve.
Greenfinch Notes:-
The greenfinch is one of Europe’s most widely distributed birds, breeding from the Mediterranean to the arctic, but absent from Iceland.
Since the 1950s it has become increasingly common in towns and villages, nesting in parks and gardens.
It has spread north in Scandinavia in recent years, a move thought to be due to the increasing popularity of garden bird feeding.
Few birds show as much enthusiasm for feeders as this finch, and peanuts, sunflowers and other seeds readily attract it.
Though it generally feeds in groups or small flocks, large autumn gatherings of several hundred birds are not uncommon.
Ringing has shown that individual birds will move 2000km, but British breeding birds seldom move more than 20km from their birthplace.
Ringing has also proved that numbers of greenfinch from the Norwegian population move to British in the winter.
Greenfinches are sociable birds, and often feed in company with other ground-foraging species, including tree sparrows, linnets, yellowhammers and reed buntings.
The song flight of the cock is distinctive: he flies with slow deep wing beats, singing continuously.
British birds generally start breeding in early April, with their first clutches complete by the end of the month.
The clutch consists of four to six eggs, and incubation takes 11-15 days, with fledging taking place 14-18 days later.
Two broods are usually attempted by each pair.
Young greenfinches can be confusing to identify as they lack the distinctive yellow on their primaries and tail that the adults show.
The plumage of adult male greenfinches from northern Europe is olive-green and yellow, and only looks bright in sunlight. Birds from south-eastern Europe tends to be distinctively brighter.
In Victorian times considerable numbers used to be caught for the cage-bird trade by trappers using clap nets, but they were never as popular as goldfinches or linnets.
These finches have been widely introduced to other countries, and today they are well established in south-east Australia, including Tasmania, both the North and South Islands of New Zealand and in Uruguay and Argentina.
There has been a marked decline in the British population since 2006 due to Trichomonosis. This is the name given to a disease caused by the protozoan parasite Trichomonas gallinae.
Birds suffering from Trichomonosis appear lethargic and puffed-up and have difficulty swallowing food. Death can take days, but sometimes weeks.
Trichomonosis is spread by birds sharing dirty feeders or drinking water; strict hygiene, including regular cleaning of feeders and disinfecting the ground under feeders, will help prevent outbreaks of the disease.
There are four closely related species of greenfinch found in south-east Asia: the oriental, Himalayan, Vietnamese and black-headed.
Nearly all the local names for the greenfinch refer to its colour. They include green linnet and green grosbeak. Living with birds notes.
