After 5 months, and somewhere between 15 and 20k pieces, it's here - The finale of building "The False Emperor".
This is by far the biggest, and I think the best MOC I've made, showing a scene from the game Star Wars The Old Republic, which I started to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the game.
So come over to my YT channel to see what I've made, and be sure to let me know what you think: youtu.be/pOkEmpuQQCk
May the Force serve you well 😏
An autumn early morning in Sapporo always offers up beautiful vignettes, especially on a morning of rain and sun. It was worth leaving a warm bed on a chilly morning.
False Boronia (Phyllanthus calycinus). I was unsuccessful in my attempts to identify this cute flower, until my Flickr contact Ben Calendonia suggested the genus Phyllanthus -- which was correct! Stirling Range National Park, in Western Australia north of Albany.

How on earth do raccoons tell each other apart? It was a challenge for us this week. One member of this pair is our regular visitor, Omar. Who the heck is the other one?
In the end it was the animals' response to us that let us tell them apart. Omar, on the right, is less timid than her look-alike, who will retreat quite a distance when we approach with the food bowl.
They do have something else in common. Both are currently nursing young. So far only Omar has brought her litter of four to visit.
It's unlikely that both moms will bring their kits to our door at the same time. Omar, having shown up here first, is not at all happy about having company. It turns out that raccoons can get very snarly with one another!
We've taken to calling the new arrival The False Dimitri because it was too good a naming opportunity to pass up. Fake Omar doesn't have the same ring.
Brand new growth of Japanese Maple leaves. There looks like there are leaf shadows behind the leaves but they are just other new leaves.
I had to return to the Kiva to see if I could snag a sunset. I was able to grab somewhat of one...but the experience is always worth staying for. By the time we had packed up, it was dark and we got disorientated on our way back to the car. Luckily the road appeared and we ended up being about a 1/2 mile from where we should have been. The cairns are your friend! Do not abandon them (in the dark)

Flickr maps has it wrong. This is in Dallam County, Texas, in the Rita Blanca National Grasslands.
Arches National Park, Jupiter rising in zodiacal light, Orion, the winter Milky Way, and some insane airglow all make up this two-row pano that I shot about a year ago.
This is a panorama I've been meaning to reprocess for awhile now but something else always came up, but as I've been without a camera for the last week it ended up being the perfect opportunity to get this and a few other images finished up.
ad es. i levi's...
alcuni prodotti ,( religione comprese), fanno parte del nostro bagaglio culturale, non potrebbe essere diversamente, sono nati con noi o prima di noi, e riallacciandomi alla frase conclusiva della foto precedente, sottolineo il fatto che liberi non siamo se perlomeno alle nostre scelte non ci accostiamo un' enorme sforzo di vigile presenza e consapevolezza , almeno in quel caso ci rendiamo conto di non esserlo (liberi) e questo accettare di non esserlo , in parte ci rende un po + liberi ....
seppur sembra un paradosso...
I found these false lashes at a beauty shop located in a border town adjacent to SE DC. Last Saturday, prior to meeting my friend Andy, I thought that it would be fun to wear them out. They were difficult to apply. I didn't wear them out that evening.

After doing the "Fallen Roof" ruin and "House on Fire" ruin I was reminded of the hike we did to False Kiva in Canyonlands National Park last year. I've never really worked over these images. This was much more challenging photographically because of the afternoon time we were there and the extremely high contrast scene.
For this image I used Exposure Fusion in Photomatix as well as manual blending to handle the shadows and bright distant lighting. When I reviewed the images I discovered that even with 5 bracketed shots at 1 ev spacing the foreground was under exposed. To handle this situation I took the lightest RAW image of the bracketed set into Adobe Camera Raw and created two new images at +1 and +2 ev with exposure compensation. I then used the entire set including the new images in Photomatix which then gave some detail in the foreground shadow.

The Ford Thunderbird was the brainchild of two men—George Walker and Louis D. Crusoe. The car was born from the idea that Ford Motor Company should have a sportier vehicle as part of their automobile line. This idea was pursued by the company who decided to pursue a “true Ford sports car” for their 1955 model year.
The initial guidelines called for a two-passenger, canvas-topped open car that would make maximum use of standard production components. The design objectives included a weight of 2,525 pounds, an Interceptor V-8 engine, a balanced weight distribution, acceleration better than the competition, and a top speed of more than 100 miles per hour. The new Ford sports car also was to retain Ford product characteristics and identification to the extent necessary for a ready association with the standard production car.
Purists deplored the 1957 Ford Thunderbird’s assortment of fake louvers and simulated scoops, but the public seemed to love it. The Thunderbird nearly ended up with Ford’s characteristic “check mark” side trim and later with chrome-plated scallops behind the front wheels (similar to those of later Corvettes), but neither feature made it to production. By comparison, the false louvers, added by Joe Oros, weren’t so bad.
Joseph E. Oros Jr. (June 15, 1916 in Cleveland, Ohio – August 2, 2012) was an automobile stylist for Ford Motor Company over a period of 21 years — known as the Chief Designer of the team at Ford that styled the original Mustang, and for his contributions to the 1955 Ford Thunderbird. Oros was also an artist, sculptor, painter and industrial designer, having designed appliances and other products.
