Arco de Santa María in Burgos, Spain, is to one of the twelve medieval gates the city had during the middle ages. It was rebuilt by Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor during the 16th century after the local rulers of the city supported him during the Revolt of the Comuneros. On the facade of the arch appear people of importance to the city of Burgos and Castile, such as Diego Rodríguez Porcelos, the founder of the city; Jueces de Castilla; Laín Calvo and Nuño Rasura; El Cid; Fernán González; and Charles V himself.
“This artist’s concept shows what the 4-man GE space station would look like in space. The supply crafts hovering around the station are Gemini vehicles.”
So, this is possibly a MORL precursor? Or, is it MORL without being called MORL? Despite varied literature I came across it's sort of muddled...at least to me. Especially, with this being a General Electric entry/submittal & them being out of the running by the time "MORL" was the common jargon. I think. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I assume the station is spinning. 😉
This has got to be the thickest, heaviest-weight photographic paper with a black & white image on it that I’ve ever come across. It rivals ANY of the heaviest-weight “A KODAK PAPER” (with color image) specimens.
An unexpected & pleasant find, with some other works by the artist, Peter A. Bertolino:

Even more gratifying, thanks yet again to the Legacy website:
“Peter A. Bertolino:
BERTOLINO, PETER A., on May 5, 2004. Beloved husband of Adeline Bertolino, loving father of Michael and Peter Bertolino, devoted grandfather of 3. A Veteran of WWII-U.S. Army.”
While the above is cursory, the following comments more than make up for it:
“My condolences to Peter's family. He was a wonderful man. I can tell you that it was always a pleasure to work with him and to be in his company. I know he was always proud of his work, but even more so of his family. I will remember him fondly.”

And:
“Co-worker from GE days:
“I am very saddened by Pete's death. Pete was a loving and caring person. He always had a story to tell about family, life and especially about his artwork. I still picture Pete with his pipe in his mouth and a grin on his face as he worked on his board. He always made me smile. What a GREAT man. I will cherish all of his Christmas Cards.”

Finally:
“Co-worker from GE days:
“Pete was certainly a great guy. He was a man that I always looked up to, a very special person.”

The Takayama Jinya is a former local government office in the city of Takayama, in Japan's mountainous Gifu prefecture. It was in official use from 1692 to 1969, and is the only remaining building of its type in Japan today. It is now a National Historic Site and is open as a nicely maintained museum.

My entry to TheLegoZealot contest!
I love idea of redesigning Batman villains!
Here's my rendition of Catwoman.
سيلينا كايل
Saylina Kayl-
The main inspiration was from Egyptian Cats. I figured why not make Catwoman Egyptian inspired.
The torso, legs, and head were all fully painted by me. I tried adding a royal necklace of sorts, maybe something she stole.
Her helmet is the old Catwoman helmet, with details painted on. The claws are a cut chain piece glued to the hand.
The main focus is the Arabic words scattered around the figure.
Huge thanks to Scott Blankfield who suggested adding something above her eyes.
Above her eyes says Cat in Arabic.
Across her eyeholes says "woman".
And her torso says claws, if read sideways.
Anyways, I'm really satisfied with how she came out!
Thanks!

Dolphin going back into the water up at Chanonry Point after a great breach. Luckily enough to get all the sequence of images from exit to entry. These were published in our national papers . The Scottish sun and the daily Record, nice when that happens.
Entry Hall Way, Recently relocated from Delaware to Alabama, a few photos from the new home now that we are unpacked and actually have window coverings on most windows.
56105 leads 3S14 11.38 Grimsby Town - York Works railhead treatment train, approaching New Barnetby. 66848 is on the rear. [Pole, 5/6 sections {~6.8m)]
This leg of the day's circuit first heads to Halifax (via Skellow, Wakefield Kirkgate and Mirfield), then returns to Wakefield Kirkgate (reverse) to run to Sheffield via Barnsley, and finally returns to York via Barnsley, Wakefield Kirkgate and Castleford. Incidentally, this train set off from Grimsby still showing as 3S13 on signalling maps, and therefore some reports for 3S13 on Realtime Trains have incorrect times; they are actually the times 3S14 went past, and 3S14 has lots of "no report" entries!
56105 was standing in for 66847 which had been sent for tyre turning; this was its third day working with 66848 and these wagons, but the loco is noticeably dirtier (on this side, at least) than when I'd photographed it closer to the background bridge two days previously (see here).
I'd originally planned to come to this spot on that previous occasion, but had spotted a group closer to the lime works and thought the sun might not have been lighting the front of the loco quite as well here - but I was wrong. So I decided to have another go, this location allowing a higher vantage point because you are not stood quite as much below track level. It was either come here or go to Scunthorpe, but I wanted to go north of the Humber for 3J51 (with 37s) and going to Scunthorpe would have risked missing it before its reversal at Hull (because I would have set off about twenty minutes later and had a longer drive).

" We had new orders ! Destroy the A-series assassin droids, before they could kill some Jedi. I kinda failed. Kinda. For me it is okay, but less for command. I destroyed every assassin droids I met , but some of them found some Jedis, and Padawans before me. Not even able to protect themselves from a droid. I have the feeling that we, from the 253rd, are the babysitters of these Jedis. I had to take care of a Padawan who's master was lost. By lost, I mean he was killed. The Jedi, his apprentice and a couple of clone attacked a trench held by Nationalists. Most of the clone died. Well, all of them in fact. The Jedis made it into the trench, and started to cut some arms. And head. Stuffs like that. But then the assassin droid I was tracking found them. He shot the Jedi in the back, and was about to do the same to the Padawan, but I killed it before it could do that regrettable act . Then the Padawan get shot by one of the few Nationalists who were remaining. I finished what the Jedis started in the trench. Only one Nationalist was alive. He was yelling in pain, as the Jedi, before he died, cut his leg.
/CT-1024-52, Me/ Hey, Padawan. Achieve this man. He's suffering.
/Padawan/ .. No ! I ... I can't ! I can't ! No !! Help me to get out of there !
/CT-1024-52, Me/ Not until you achieve him.
/Padawan/ Why don't you do it yourself ?
/CT-1024-52, Me/ Always the clones who have to do the dirty work right ? No, I don't want to.
/Padawan/ You said he was suffering. Do it
/CT-1024-52, Me/ No. I don't give a fuck if he's suffering. I don't want to. You should be happy that I'm not mutilating him right now. But, you don't like to see him suffer. You're a Jedi after all. Well, sort of.
He stabbed the men in is heart
/Padawan/ Now help to get out of here. I'm wounded.
/CT-1024-52, Me/ I don't care. Get out that trench alone. I already saved your life. Twice.
/Padawan/ Twice ?
/CT-1024-52, Me/ The A-serie droid first, then the Nationalists. Twice. Now get out of there, we're moving. The command, unlike me, would be happy to see a Jedi alive. Even if you're not really a Jedi.
/Padawan/ You're completly insane.
/CT-1024-52, Me/ Yeap, I know. I'm fucked up. I'm a bit of a psychopath... But adapted to this war.
Indeed I was. Jabiim is an hell. I liked it at first, but now, I just want to get out of there. Because of the wrong decisions from command, we will lost. It's sure. Alpha, Kenobi, and most of the Jedis generals are missing. Or dead. I think that none of us will leave this planet alive."

This is my entry to Sinnwell Customs 200 follows contests. So I put his sigfig in Jason todds "death" scenes.
I hope it's ok that there white in the hair a bit of super glue got on there and it the only one of this hair I've got 😟.
Also I was wondering when the contest ends and what the prizes are?
A small parking sign and a larger No Entry sign on Gilbeert Street, seen against a concrete side of building.
Off to the right - they are pouring a concrete slab on the building appendage that fell outside of the main perimeter.
The lines and shadows are from the trusses above that form the structure for the roof.
Terrific Thursday to you.

A portal into another world
When is a door more than a humble door? At Expo 2020, in the hands of an architect as revered as Asif Khan, the answer is three spellbinding entry portals, where doors becomes metaphors, gateways and transitional points that are equal parts design genius and philosophical back story.
Celebrated surrealist Khan – the British architectural mastermind behind Expo 2020’s Public Realm – has conceptualised and created what will be the first sight to greet millions of visitors from around the world as they arrive at the 4.38 sqkm site.
Expo 2020’s entry portals – one positioned at the entrance to each of the three Thematic Districts (Opportunity, Mobility and Sustainability) – are the gateways to The World’s Greatest Show, the largest event ever to be held in the Arab World.
Each portal has a set of two 21-metre-tall doors – and when opened each morning, they will represent a symbolic act of Expo 2020’s doors being literally thrown open to the world. When visitors leave, those same doors will lead back to the ‘regular’ world, enticing visitors to return to Expo 2020 another day.
