The world's largest open-air contemporary art museum, and greater Belo Horizonte's standout attraction, this sprawling, world-class complex of gardens dotted with 23 modern art galleries and numerous outdoor sculptures lies 50km west of the city, near Brumadinho. Much of the international artwork on view is monumental in size, with galleries custom-built to display it. The constantly expanding gardens has over 4000 different species of plants (including one of the world's most extensive collections of palm trees) and lakes with swans.
You can wander at will, or attend daily scheduled programs led by guides trained in visual arts and natural science. Ten on-site eateries serve everything from hot dogs to gourmet international fare. Wednesday's a great day to visit, as the museum is free; weekends can get crowded, but offer a wider range of guided tours.
From Tuesday through Sunday Saritur runs direct buses (R$74 round trip, 1½ hours each way) from Belo Horizonte to Inhotim at 8:15am, returning at 4:30pm weekdays, 5:30pm Saturday and Sunday.

Everyone of Flickr has to have a swirly staircase shot, right?
Biltmore House, Asheville, North Carolina, USA
I see we've returned to this crappy layout in my absence!
Kings Lynn was once one of England's most important ports & is home to some gorgeous buildings which reflect its rich maritime history.
One of the best of these is the Custom House which dates back to 1683.
Now one wouldn't expect Walter P. Chrysler's wife Della to drive to the Club or to the polo match by herself, now would we? Of course not. That's what common people would do even if they were members of the Club, which, obviously, would be impossible. And, for those occasions, why not get chauffeured to your destinations, and do so in the style that you so much deserve and have earned! And when you said "I do" you then moved up to that grand status and position. And, I might add, what better way would it be to do that then in a one-off custom bodied Imperial by LeBaron? (well, maybe in a Bugatti Type 41 Royale, but that changes the story completely!)
And from that day forth, her finely manicured hands never touched a steering wheel again!
And now the rest of the story penned by Angelo Van Bogart:
With Chrysler as her last name — Mrs. Walter P. Chrysler, to be exact — Della Chrysler’s automotive choices weren’t as limited as one might expect.
Certainly, Mrs. Chrysler drove a Chrysler automobile, but in 1937, she chose not to be carried in one of the dizzying number of production sedans and limousines in the Custom Imperial Eight or Royal Six line. Nor did Mrs. Chrysler order one of the semi-custom Derham town cars also carried in the 1937 Chrysler catalog. Instead, Mrs. Chrysler had a one-of-a-kind town car built on a Custom Imperial chassis of an art deco form that rivaled the wildest town cars built on Duesenberg and Rolls-Royce chassis.
The teardrop-shaped town car body on her 1937 Custom Imperial built by coachbuilder LeBaron dripped elegance and was perfectly mated to the new streamlined styling of the 1937 Chrysler line. The bulbous aluminum LeBaron passenger compartment was painted black and mimicked the production Chrysler pontoon front fenders. The period-perfect Chrysler streamlining began at the “ship’s prow” front-end, which was striped with horizontal grille bars and matching chrome speed lines along the hood sides. The horizontal theme was picked up by LeBaron with speed lines behind the rear door at the sail panel and with horizontally ribbed aluminum trim that circled the body from the back of one front fender to the rear of the opposite front fender. The subtle trim piece literally brought the whole car together — production chassis and front-end styling with unique town car coachwork — as it streaked from the front fender, across the running boards and unique rear fender skirts, around the back of the car and all the way to the rear of the opposite front fender.
Inside, this special town car continued the art deco theme, from the production three-spoke steering wheel with ribbed bars and elegant gauges to the unique console built into the division window. Carpet as thick as a mink coat covered the floor, and seats as plush as the softest bed cradled rear seat passengers.
his slice of wheeled heaven wasn’t available to everyone, but was made available to those such as Mrs. Walter P. Chrysler, who could afford the craftsmanship of a hand-built LeBaron body fitted with the utmost of luxury by that Detroit concern. At the time, LeBaron was not yet absorbed by the Chrysler Corp., which later relegated the LeBaron name to a model. Rather, at this time, it was an independent subsidiary of the Briggs Body Co. that built bodies for Packard, Lincoln, Duesenberg and Pierce-Arrow, among others.
Mrs. Chrysler’s 1937 town car was not the first LeBaron-built body for Chrysler family, but it was probably the last. Just five years earlier, LeBaron had built a pair of custom 1932 Imperials for the Walter P. Chrysler family: a unique close-coupled sedan for Walter P. and a speedster for his son, Walter P. Chrysler Jr. Shortly after the 1937 LeBaron town car was built, in May 1938, Walter P. suffered a stroke. In August of that year, Della Chrysler passed away. Walter P. followed her to eternal rest two years later, in 1940.
Sometime after Della Chrysler passed away, her 1937 LeBaron town car passed on to her daughter, Bernice Chrysler Garbisch. Her initials “BCG” were added with cast letters to each rear door. However, neither she or her chauffeur drove the car much and today the odometer has registered just 25,501 miles. Very few of those were added after the car left Garbisch’s garage and went into the collection of Long Island car collector Harry Gilbert in the 1950s.
Made this and thought why not post it since i'm still not ready to get a good photo of my civil war spiderman custom
Custom built from - I don't know what. All the normal "give aways" were missing - logos, engine castings frame. I don't know for certain but that engine looks like a small Kawasaki.
Nice to see it being used even when the weather was inclement.

Thanks for views, comments and favs :)
Custom built by the owner. Even the dashboard is custom built to his own taste. An interview: przykrawezniku.pl/when-standard-lagonda-is-too-ordinary-a... .
I boarded a custom built safari vessel at Auke Bay in Juneau, going on a search for the sighting of whales and other wildlife in Stephens Passage. While on our way, I saw this magnificent glacier, but I forgot its name.

Custom built by Grordbort's Industries.
This is based on the Dr. Grordbort books by Greg Broadmore (Weta Workshop NZ). I thoroughly recommend checking these books out, they are a great mix of art, humour, sci-fi and steampunky goodness :)
These are custom built and modified Sofue and Max Gray o Scale brass models I’ve painted and weathered and photographed. I hope some of my viewers enjoy some images of my Model Railroad endeavors in O Scale Model Railroading. A friend and I have built a sectional portable o scale model railroad that is roughly 60’ x 30’ that we exhibit. The trains are all 1/48 scale or a quarter inch is one foot. Unlike o gauge toy trains we build and model in 2 rail scale much like smaller scales we strive for the most authentic miniatures.
Custom built Master Chief HALO minifigure.
I bought this customized armor & helmet from a local supplier in Australia, though he does not leave any info regarding who makes these. Can anyone recognize these pieces & maybe let me know who made this cast?
Anyhow, I built the rest of him, added details & painted it.
Thelonis was custom built in 1953. Ed Monk, Sr modified one of his 1920’s plans and it was built by Admiral Marine Works (Earle Wakefield) on Lake Union in Seattle. Although Thelonius looks very 1920’s, several features are more ‘modern’, such as glue-wedge hull (rather than caulked seams), V-drive engine under the cockpit (rather than below the wheelhouse), greater beam and headroom. Thelonius was cruised as far as Juneau, Alaska in 1915.
Here she is cruising by the 48 ft Gray Wolf sloop, the 2023 Race To Alaska winner, Gray Wolf is a cold molded cedar boat with a free standing rig, and water ballast. She was built in 1998 for ocean racing in Camden, ME by Lyman Morse. Owned by the Goussevs for 10 years, she frequents the Seattle racing circuit.

In the chaotic battlegrounds of the Shattersea, staying mobile is key—but sometimes, you need to stand your ground and bite back. That’s where “Ripjaw” comes in—a custom-built Close-In Weapon System (CIWS) designed by Tola to provide rapid-response firepower against Protocol swarms, raiders, and anything else that gets too close to The Last Laugh.
While most Bastion-grade CIWS units are high-tech, automated, and bristling with sensors, Tola’s version is pure, rugged ingenuity—salvaged, reinforced, and rebuilt for wasteland survival.
⸻
Specifications & Features:
•Ammunition Type: Hybrid-fed
•Fire Rate: 1,500 rounds per minute
•Cooling System: Custom-built external heat dispersion vents to prevent overheat
•Power Source: Direct-feed from The Last Laugh’s reactor & auxiliary battery bank
•Tracking System: Hybrid optical & infrared targeting, with manual override
•Armour shielding on sensitive components
⸻
Design Features:
•Brutal & Compact – While most CIWS systems are designed for naval vessels or heavy emplacements, Ripjaw is a downsized, reinforced version, mounted directly to The Last Laugh’s defensive hardpoints.
•Industrial Salvage Build – Unlike factory-built models, Ripjaw is a mix of scavenged military-grade parts, repurposed industrial machinery, and Tola’s own innovations—resulting in a battered but extremely reliable weapon.
•High-Impact Targeting System – Uses a multi-spectral scanner to track incoming threats, but isn’t fully automated—Tola hates trusting pure AI defense systems and prefers a manual override for precision shots.
•Muzzle-Stabilisation Bracing – The quad-barrel design reduces recoil drift, allowing for sustained suppression fire while The Last Laugh is on the move.
⸻
Operational History:
•First Test Fire: Conducted after Tola retrofitted salvaged Bastion defense components, resulting in several minor explosions and a near-total system lockdown before it was fully calibrated.
•Proven in Combat: Successfully repelled a rogue Protocol swarm attack near a collapsing gravity well—ripping through thirty-seven hostiles in under sixty seconds.
•Infamous for Sound: Known for its distinctive, guttural growl when firing, leading to the name “Ripjaw”—because “it chews through anything dumb enough to get close.”
⸻
Tola’s Notes:
“Yeah, she overheats if you push her too hard. Yeah, she eats more ammo than she should. But let me tell you—when you’re staring down a Protocol swarm or some raider rig with too much attitude? Ripjaw’ll make ‘em think twice before getting any closer.”
custom built, cost the city over $1/2 million. We need to "enforce the river". Maybe grammar lessons would have been more appropriate.
Recently met up with the builder of this bike to help him showcase his work. More of my work can be found on my website, Instagram, and Facebook pages.
Four custom built flashes, firing at around 28,000th second, giving a blue cast and being warmed up with 81b warm up filter. One flash attached by sync lead and others fired by slaves.All flashes facing away from subject to light what is the reflections in the water droplets. Canon RT small zoom lens. Shutter speed at max 250th and aperture at f16. Separate images were later scanned in and merged in photoshop.
Custom built BrickForge/SDT/BigKidBrix/LEGO Star Wars Captain Rex minifigure. Custom torso armor designed by Breakthrough Army.
Time for another Star Wars themed character. I`ve had this Custom Rex I bought from Ebay for a while now & thought it was time to re-customize him some more. I`ve got some unpainted Breakthrough Army armor pieces recently & they are great casts. Nice fit & easy to paint. I tried to mimic the dirty, battle-worn gear that Rex always seems to have on as he just looked too white for the rest of my collection.
Custom-built for Disney by Paris-based company Aérophile S.A., the Aéro30 is filled with 210,000 cubic feet of helium. The balloon’s 19-foot-diameter basket holds up to 29 people, plus one Aérophile-certified pilot. Ticket prices: $25 for adults (ages 10 and older), $20 for children (ages 3 to 9).
Used custom built sliding table and high speed photography setup to capture splash effect. Colored water was added for for an interesting contrast.
I know its a little early for Christmas, but I liked this color combination.

The June 1, 2019 Grand Classic of the CCCA Museum on the Gilmore Car Museum campus in Hickory Corners, Michigan. The Grand Classic is a smaller show on the Saturday preceding the Sunday Grand Experience.
This incredible Imperial Convertible was in spectator parking and pretty much stole the show even before we got to the museum grounds.

The second of the Knights I`m currently building. This is the Grey Knight. Keeping with the similar style of the Red Knight but gave this one a slight "battle wash" after painting. One more Knight to come in a different colour scheme & some Viking Warriors on the way too.

Another Apoc style character but I found a practicle use for the annoying SDT ammo pack. I could use armor with it & even the impossible ammo belt is behaving itself. I quite like how the riot shield came out with it`s battle worn look & parts of the armor & helmet were treated this way but is hard to notice in these shots. Lots of removable parts on this one.

I dont really use yellow a lot as a prime colour when painting & find it hard to work with sometimes. This guy was gonna be some kind of modern Tactical trooper but started to resemble a bumble-bee when I tried yellow then got the idea to play around with the W.A.S.P concept rather than S.W.A.T. He kinda reminds me of a fireman for some reason too. A bit outrageous I know but it`s different!
Custom built BrickArms/BrickWarriors/BrickForge/LEGO minifigure.
A simple custom re-make of the LEGO Astronaut/Diver minifigure. I think the minigun arm conversion looks pretty cool. I was gonna connect an ammo chain to it but left it off. I probably could of done a neater job so I may even do another similar type at some point.

He`s been on a list to do so while I have most of him I thought I`d better do a Darth. Probably one of the most iconic LEGO minifigures made. I wish I knew how to photoshop a light-saber beam as the one he`s got kinda did`nt work due to the low lighting. My dad is an electronics technician so I`m gonna get him to make one up with a tiny LED in the hilt so it lights up when I need to do more Jedi figs.
