Hengill area
The construction area is on Hellisheiði heath and its vicinity south of Hengill volcano. The area is divided into the upper geothermal area above Hellisskarð pass and the lower area below the pass. A much larger area has, however, been included in research to assess the environmental impact of the power plant. Ground water research covers the area from the south coast, west to Faxaflói bay, north to Esja mountain and Þingvallavatn lake and east to Ölfusá river.
Exploratory drilling
In 1985, a research borehole was made by Kolviðarhóll hill (in the same area that the plant is situated). In 1994, another borehole was made on Ölkelduháls ridge. Both boreholes offered some clues, but the evidence was not enough on which to base a decision. In 2001, two boreholes were made in Hellisheiði heath and three more in 2002. The information from these holes provided the grounds for the power plant.

to all of my wonderful Flickr family and those who stop on by to visit my stream. I know I don't always acknowledge your kind comments, invites and/or faves like I should but please do know that I truly appreciate them and your visit. I hope all of you had a wonderful "SUPERBOWL" weekend! I'm not into football but I did win $125.00 from one of the football pools. Whoo Hoo! Have a great week ahead! Hugs! ~ Lulu

I finally decided to make a front cover for this project that i posted a while ago. Especially since I found some 1.25" o-wires for my Bind-it-All! Chipboard cover, all letters and numbers (3 was originally an 8 and cut it down) are AC, label is a free download from giverslog.com. Go to the right and scroll down until you get to free printables. Then search for the labels. Stay awhile, because it's a great blog.
This gentleman was waiting for green light in Copenhagen. I wonder where he was going with all the soft toys? Picnic?

Here is a closer profile of the same Heron but with front lighting this time. Note the pupil in his eye is MUCH smaller on this side !!! Again seen at Lake Balboa.

Neptune (Latin: Neptūnus) was the Roman god of freshwater and the sea in Roman religion. He is the counterpart of the Greek god Poseidon. In the Greek-influenced tradition, Neptune was the brother of Jupiter and Pluto, each of them presiding over the realms of Heaven, our earthly world and the Underworld, respectively
Depictions of Neptune in Roman mosaics, especially those of North Africa, are influenced by Hellenistic conventions. Neptune was likely associated with fresh water springs before the sea. Like Poseidon, Neptune was worshipped by the Romans also as a god of horses, under the name Neptunus Equester, a patron of horse-racing. Mmmm the connection with Cheltenham then :)))))
The Schloss Drachenburg first captured my imagination over a year ago when I stumbled upon it in my Twitter feed. My first question was - is this even real? I was shocked I had never seen the beautiful structure before, and from that moment on, I was pretty well set on bringing this hidden gem to life.
I've been told several times that I'm "obsessed" with this castle, and perhaps that's true. I started by making several Minecraft variants of the structure, one of which is one of (if not the tallest) structure ever made in the game at 671 blocks tall. If I could make a massive version in Minecraft in 9 months, surely I could make a LEGO one in under a year!
So I started designing this in LDD shortly after Brickworld 2018. That was my first mistake. I've never made a MOC in LDD before, and it's hard to get a sense of scale in the program, and also hard to know which bricks you do and don't have. Also, owning 2 modular Town Halls made me realize that dark orange is not as common as I thought. Thus the Bricklink orders ensued, as well as the random E-Bay hauls. Dark orange and medium dark flesh was a far more limited brick palette than I'm used to, but I think it's in those limitations that I was able to make this build something special.
The final model comes out to approximately a 4 x 2 foot base, with the clocktower being 3 feet tall. The 30,000 piece count makes this my second largest MOC, behind the behemoth that was the Tunnels Project in 2016.
Yet in what probably adds up to about 20 days total of build time, I was able to pull off what I regard as my best MOC. Without further ado, a proudly present my rendition of German's Schloss Drachenburg.
Come see it at Brickworld Chicago 2019!
