A female White-breasted Nuthatch. A compact bird that clings to tree bark moving down, up and around the trees. Females look like males but have a grayer cap.
My kids have remote control helicopters that look kind of like this, with much shorter, wider rotor blades than a typical full-size helicopter. It allows for a smaller overall size for the aircraft, which makes it easier to maneuver and land. I don't know if it's a practical design for a full-size chopper, but I wanted to make one in Lego anyway.
Also on display is a bunch of stuff I picked up at Brickfair. I think the minifig cat miniguns I got from MBW work great with Chris' drones because of their larger size relative to minifigs. I also love the eclipseGrafx torsos and Brickarms pulse rifles I got from contributing to the Cyberpocalypse collaboration. Thanks Vic and Will!
This is actually from 9/23, but never came through from Instagram. Two mirrors actually. These were my mother’s. Small compact and larger 2-sided clutch with built-in makeup compartments, places for bills and coins, and in the other side cigarettes and missing matching lighter.
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory have teamed up to identify a new possible example of a rare class of black holes. Called NGC 6099 HLX-1, this bright X-ray source seems to reside in a compact star cluster in a giant elliptical galaxy.
Just a few years after its 1990 launch, Hubble discovered that galaxies throughout the universe can contain supermassive black holes at their centers weighing millions or billions of times the mass of our Sun. In addition, galaxies also contain as many as millions of small black holes weighing less than 100 times the mass of the Sun. These form when massive stars reach the end of their lives.
Far more elusive are intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs), weighing between a few hundred to a few 100,000 times the mass of our Sun. This not-too-big, not-too-small category of black holes is often invisible to us because IMBHs don’t gobble as much gas and stars as the supermassive ones, which would emit powerful radiation. They have to be caught in the act of foraging in order to be found. When they occasionally devour a hapless bypassing star — in what astronomers call a tidal disruption event— they pour out a gusher of radiation.
The newest probable IMBH, caught snacking in telescope data, is located on the galaxy NGC 6099’s outskirts at approximately 40,000 light-years from the galaxy’s center, as described in a new study in the Astrophysical Journal. The galaxy is located about 450 million light-years away in the constellation Hercules.

The Alfasud was a compact car built by Alfa Romeo from 1971 to 1989. For this car a new plant was built in the southern part of Italy as a part of labour policy of the government. Poor materials used and low build quality ruined the image of the Alfasud in that era.
This shot is back from my trip to Ireland. Somehow I forgot to post it... shame on me! :)
An awesome early-morning scene, the enchanted thick-fog pond, just painted by the sunrise show.
Straight out of camera, a canon D10 compact , handheld (but standing still on a tree branch)
Hope this will not cause any overdose of anti-blues :D
Stagno incantato, la prima luce
Questa foto risale al mio viaggio in Irlanda. Per qualche motivo, mi ero scordato di pubblicarla.... Vergogna su di me :) Una splendida scena di primo mattino, lo stagno incantato da una densa foschia, appena dipinta dallo spettacolo dell'alba.
Postata così come uscita dalla macchinetta, una compattina Canon D10, tenuta a mano (ma appoggiata bene su un ramo)
Je voulais juste tester le rendu de ce petit objectif, et j’ai tourné la zappette vers le jardin……j'ai bien aimé!

My newest sketch gear. The bag takes 7x10 inch paper or books. The two front pockets take my pens, a quarter pan watercolor set, water brush, and a spray unit. Compact with little wasted space. Love it.
Würzburg is een stad met overzichtelijke afmetingen en de trams die er tijdens mijn eerste bezoek in 1977 dienst deden, waren compact. Ook de grootte van het in 1954 opgeleverde stationsgebouw is afgestemd op de behoefte van een provinciestad. Het voor de jaren vijftig karakteristieke stationsgebouw is ontworpen door architect Hans Kern. De kraam met worstjes voor de uitgang van het station ontbreekt uiteraard niet.
De enkelgelede Düwag-tram heeft ook deuren aan de linker zijde. Op het achterbalkon is een hulpstuurstand aangebracht. De wagens konden zodoende bij behoefte in tweerichtingbedrijf gebruikt worden. Primair zijn de wagens echter voor eenrichtingbedrijf ingericht. Men sprak in dit geval ook wel van anderhalfrichtingwagens. Op de kopwand zien we de verschillende contactdozen voor bijwagenbedrijf. Destijds werd er op werkdagen nog met kleine tweeassige bijwagens achter deze gelede trams gereden.
Tram 233 maakt deel uit van een serie van tien enkelgelde zesassers die in 1967 en 1968 door Düwag werden geleverd. Vanwege het krappe profiel van vrij ruimte zijn de koppen sterk afgeschuind. In 1982 werden de wagens door het invoegen van een nieuwe tussenbak verlengd tot dubbelgelede achtassers.

The final to my future-auto exploration. This time, based on several retro-future compact-car designs (including by Syd Mead of course). Ironically, this is the only of the three that actually fits a full figure.
The purpose of the three cars was to look at what I consider the three main areas of consumer-cars in futuristic media: Luxury, Show, and Utility. I am disregarding Industrial and Military as I have made a ton of the former already and I don't really like the latter.
Hi!
I made a remake of an old photo, but this time, with a stop motion clip: www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5d9783-Ib4
Enjoy!
"Elige la vida. Elige un empleo. Elige una carrera. Elige una familia. Elige un televisor grande que te cagas. Elige lavadoras, coches, equipos de compact disc y abrelatas eléctricos. Elige la salud, colesterol bajo y seguros dentales. Elige pagar hipotecas a interés fijo. Elige un piso piloto. Elige a tus amigos. Elige ropa deportiva y maletas a juego. Elige pagar a plazos un traje de marca en una amplia gama de putos digitos. Elige bricolaje y preguntate quién coño eres los domingos por la mañana. Elige sentarte en el sofá a ver tele-concursos que embotan la mente y aplastan el espíritu mientras llenas tu boca de puta comida basura. Elige pudrirte de viejo cagándote y meándote encima en un asilo miserable, siendo una carga para los niñatos egoístas y hechos polvo que has engendrado para reemplazarte. Elige tu futuro. Elige la vida... ¿pero por qué iba yo a querer hacer algo así? Yo elegí no elegir la vida: elegí otra cosa. ¿Y las razones? No hay razones. ¿Quién necesita razones cuando tienes heroína?"

From The CSIRO website
The Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA), at the Paul Wild Observatory, is an array of six 22-m antennas used for radio astronomy. It is located about 25 km west of the town of Narrabri in rural NSW (about 500 km north-west of Sydney). It is operated by CSIRO's Astronomy and Space Science division...
The "Compact Array'' is the premier instrument of its kind in the southern hemisphere. It operates 365-days per year, 24-hours per day. Its business is pure science. It is not used for any military activities.
This antennas work together using a technique called "interferometry'' which allows the antennas to mimic a much larger antenna. This gives the telescope the ability to see very fine detail. Effectively "radio interferometry'' works by replacing the lens of a conventional imaging system with sophisticated electronics, supercomputer-like hardware and complex software. Using this technique, a image of a small section of the sky can be formed in a 12-hour period. Whereas the Array uses six antennas spread over 6km, the same interferometry principles can be applied to antennas spread over a continent. For example, several times a year, the Array is used together with other radio telescopes spread across Australia (such as the Parkes antenna) to make images with extremely fine detail.

To me, it would seem that a dandelion bloom would be somehow different than this. I think that it's because a dandelion's fibers are all so scattered, at first glance, that it seems unlikely that they start out so orderly. Then the reasoning kicks in that dandelions use air dispersal to get their offspring away from the parent plant. Of course, then, there isn't a random combination of structures. They must be grown specifically to take advantage of being both light and fluffy.
Still with me? Gone to take a snooze?

Церковь Рождества Богородицы (konakov-2.cerkov.ru/) — православный храм Конаковского благочинного округа Тверской епархии Русской православной церкви, расположенный в селе Городня Конаковского района Тверской области.
Основана в 1290-х годах (в крепости Городня).
Строительство дошедшего до нашего времени храма (в существующем ныне виде) - начало XIV века (до 1318 г.).
В советское время церковь Рождества Богородицы оставалась действующей.
В годы Великой Отечественной войны храм был сильно повреждён и начал разрушаться. В 1966 году начата тщательная реставрация церкви. В 1980 году работы окончились и храм был торжественно освящён.
The Church of the Nativity of the Virgin is an Orthodox church of the Konakovsky Deanery District of the Tver Diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church, located in the village of Gorodnya, Konakovo District, Tver Region.
Founded in the 1290s (in the fortress Gorodnya).
The construction of the temple that has reached our time (in its present form) is the beginning of the XIV century (before 1318).
In Soviet times, the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin remained active.
During the Great Patriotic War, the temple was badly damaged and began to collapse. In 1966, a thorough restoration of the church began. In 1980, the work ended and the temple was solemnly consecrated.
Been working on making a more compact version of my "Trail Blazer" design. Shortened by 2 studs I think, and narrower in width.
Critiques welcome.
