The Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) at the Paul Wild Observatory is an array of six 22 metre antennas used for radio astronomy (No1 & No2 pictured). It is located about 25 km west of Narrabri in rural NSW.
It is operated by CSIRO's Astronomy and Space Science division, as are the Parkes Observatory and the Mopra Observatory near Coonabarabran.

Instructions for my custom models for the Death Star Escape & Compactor are now ready. You can buy downloads on my website
If there’s one company in Australia with heaps of dino compactors, that company will be Suez, or SITA as I wish they were still known. Maybe in the past the company had more dino work on a national scale, but the high majority is now subject to their Sydney operations, with most of their bulk bin trucks indeed dino roll-offs. I’m sure the company has a good couple hundred open top containers, compactor containers and integrated units in Sydney, a lot of which appear to be young or freshened up. However, a few years ago I came across one of their older pieces of equipment outside their Wetherill Park transfer station, just sitting on the road unattended while its transporter was somewhere else. I love seeing a compactor just sitting on the road out from a dock, especially at night in the Sydney CBD haha It’s not often you would find a compactor of this capacity being used for garbage, so I think it’s safe to say this is a dry waste container or more likely one for paper and cardboard. You can tell this one is an oldie, with very faded paint and signage, plenty of scratches and a decent amount of rust. You can see the front of the container has been punched inwards... a result of the many times this steel box has been pushed into its resting position by the bail hook and frame. I reckon the “No Parking Day Or Night” signs should feature an additional “Offending Vehicles Will Be Towed” - not hard to do with the truck!
► Instructions for the Gozanti are available at BrickVault!
Let's start 2025 with yet another Imperial ship! My ever-growing Nanofig-scale collection gets a new model: the very sleek Imperial Gozanti Cruiser from Rebels.
This build was painstakingly modeled to the most accurate reference material I could find. It features all the details of the original design: shield projectors, narrow viewport, symmetrical upper and ventral turrets, sensor array, tapered engines and wings...
The docking clamps on the underside can hold four TIE fighters I made for display, or two of my Midi AT-ATs, which are now updated and fully compatible with the Gozanti. All models are at the same Nanofigure scale.
The very organic shape of the whole upper section required a precise combination of angled panels in order to achieve a continuous, natural curve. This really felt like designing a fish, reproducing that "elongated teardrop" shape.
You'd think making a fish out of Lego was challenging enough... the wings of the ship had to not only be compact but also have a slight inwards taper. On top of that, they had to hold the weight of two AT-ATs. All these things were achieved thanks to a thin and sturdy technic structure.
This build also has detachable landing gear, and comes with two different stands: a short stand, ideal for displaying the Gozanti solely or with TIEs attached, and a beefier, taller stand to show it carrying two AT-ATs in mid-air. Badass.
At 55cm in length and made of about 3,000 parts, it's still a slim model that can fit pretty much anywhere in your Lego room. Once mounted on its tall stand with two AT-ATs though, it becomes a fairly impressive display piece, with more than 5,300 parts in total.

The Carolina Grasshopper, which is also known as the Black-winged Grasshopper, Road Duster Carolina Locust, and the Butterfly Grasshopper is a large grasshopper that is typically found in open areas with sand and gravel (such as gravel pits, railway beds and dirt or gravel roads). It is easily identified by its characteristic black wings with yellow rims. The wingspread of males measures 3 inches (7.6 cm) and that of the females 3 1/2 - 4 inches (8.9 - 10.1 cm). The body color ranges from tan to grey, even rose colored, and is dependent on the coloration of the substrate that the grasshopper lived on during its development. The general body color is also faintly speckled.
It ranges in all 48 contiguous United States and at the southern end of all the southern provinces of Canada. Blowouts, field margins, roadside strips, weedy fence rows, railway cuttings, and disturbed rangeland support moderate populations of this species. During the day when temperatures warm, the adults move from vegetated to bare areas such as dirt roads where they fly about and become highly conspicuous.
The Carolina grasshopper selects food plants from both grasses and forbs. An individual's diet depends largely upon the kinds of host plants present in its habitat. Because of its large size the Carolina grasshopper has been regarded as a voracious feeder capable of causing much damage at moderate densities. Observations suggest that the Carolina Grasshopper is a thrifty feeder because it appears to eat all of whatever it attacks.
Adults are good flyers and can hover above the ground. Their flight is similar to a butterfly's in its fluttery wavering nature. In voluntary or appetitive flights, adults fly a distance of 2 to 36 feet at heights of usually 1 to 2 feet. They undulate and may crepitate as they fly. Adults are wary and flush readily at the approach of a person. In flushed flight they may travel a distance of 4 to 70 feet or much farther in a strong wind.
Males are noted for their hovering flight. They rise almost vertically from the ground to heights of 3 to 6 feet, occasionally higher, and hover for 8 to 15 seconds. At the end they flutter down to the ground close to where they started. They may repeat this maneuver as many as five times. During the hovering flight they produce a soft, sibilant sound. The hovering behavior may be a part of courtship in that it attracts females. The display also attracts males so that a small aggregation of several males and a female may gather on the bare ground beneath the hovering male.
The female selects compact ground exposed to the sun in which to oviposit. The selected site is often the edge of a gravel or dirt road. She works her ovipositor to a depth of 1 1/2 inches (3.8 cm) and deposits a large clutch of eggs that she encloses in a sharply curved pod. After approximately 1 1/3 hours, she extracts her ovipositor and for one to three minutes brushes surface particles with her hind tarsi over the aperture of the hole. The pod, nearly 2 inches long, usually contains more than 40 eggs. The eggs are reddish brown and 4.8 - 5.8 mm long and incubation of the eggs is usually completed in 22 days.
There is one generation per year. Population explosions of this grasshopper are partially controlled by the fungus Entomophaga grylli. Economically the Carolina Grasshopper is not a significant pest, causing minor damage to tobacco, cereals, grasses and alfalfa crops.

Hey guys!!!! I'm back from Mexico! I have a lot of photos (8bit photos taken with a compact camera, but well, the quality is pretty decent I think). These days I will edit them and upload them, and maybe I'll take new ones with my D90, I really don't know, haha.
But really... Mexico is awesome. I was making trips to different mayan places, caverns, forests, beaches... one week traveling, and I've seen like 1% or less of the country. Very recommendable.
About this photo: It's me, doing a capoeira kick called "Armada", in the Paradise Beach, Cancún. The sand was white. The water was turquoise and warm, and I was totally amazed, haha
PD: I'm going to bed right now. Jet-lag is killing me from the inside

Hola chicos!!!! Estoy de vuelta de México! Tengo un montón de fotos (fotos de 8bit sacadas con una cámara compacta, pero bueno, la calidad es bastante decente, creo). Estos días estaré editándolas y subiéndolas, y quizás saque algunas nuevas con mi D90, la verdad es que no tengo nada planeado, jajaja.
Pero en serio... Mexico es impresionante. Estuve haciendo excursiones a diferentes sitios Mayas, cavernas, junglas, pirámides... una semana viajando, y he visto el 1% o menos del país. Muy recomendable.
Acerca de esta foto. Soy yo, haciendo una patada de capoeira llamada "Armada" en Playa Paraíso, Cancún. La arena era blanca. El agua era turquesa y caliente, y yo estaba totalmente absorto, jaja
PD: Voy a meterme en cama ahora mismo. El Jet-lag me está matando desde dentro

This the evolution of the Leica Minilux with most of the faults iron out. About 15.000 were produced, so no great interest was generated with this model. The size is similar to the Nikon 35 Ti, but opposite to the Minilux, the design is more serious, and to my eyes, more Leica. All the info was transferred to the back door, making the design more pure. Unlike the Minilux, there is full viewfinder info, shutter, aperture, manual focusing aids, ouff! The bad news is that the viewfinder is barely different, small and tunnel like.
The other difference is the all important Made in Germany, something that I seriously doubt.
Another familiar face is the Summarit 2,4/40 that people praise a lot.
I am not a great fan of Leica, but for the price of a entry level zoom compact digicam, I did not resist.
