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.

A shot of the registers from the grocery aisles. My main purpose here was to capture the empty area beside them
I did not pack my wide angle lens this trip, so I created a synthetic wide angle by orienting my phone into portrait and shooting a panorama. By moderating my horizontal range of motion to a smaller area than is typical for panoramas, and utilizing the greater space afforded by the vertical orientation of the camera, I was able to achieve a "synthetic" wide angle shot. This also allowed me to crop out distorted areas from the top and bottom of the image, as one tends to see from typical panoramic images.

I handpainted the face on wood. embellished her hair with flowers and gave her a beaded frame.

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.

Brickish LUG selected me to represent them in a build challenge using 100 LEGO Star Wars Magazine foil bags provided by Fairy Bricks Charity.
With no building plan in mind, this MOC became something resembling the Sky Pirates storyline from LEGO NinjaGo.
JAGO: “Oh hullo there! We didn’t see you there.”
ORSON: “Indeed Jago, we didn’t! You were very quiet, crouching there and peering through Daddy’s front white picket fence.”
DAISY-MAUD: “We were just taking tea.”
ORSON: “It’s such a lovely day, we didn’t want to take tea in the parlour.”
JAGO: “So we decided to have it outside, here in the garden instead.”
DAISY-MAUD: “Would you care to join us? We always have room for friends. There is plenty of hot tea in the pot.”
The theme for "Smile on Saturday" for the 21st of October is "behind the fence", where you have to take a photograph of a fence and something behind it. I am not quite sure whether this will cut the mustard for this theme or not, so I have a second version if it doesn’t. The white out-of-focus bars to either end of the photograph are pickets in my front garden’s white picket fence. Often, if you should happen to pass my house and peer through the pickets on the fence, you will find my bears playing hide-and-seek, celebrating birthday parties, enjoying picnics, or as we find Daisy-Maud, her brother Jago, and friend Orson, taking tea. I hope you like my choice of this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile.
Jago was a gift from a dear friend in England. He is made of English mohair with suede paw pads and glass eyes. He is a gentle bear, kind and patient who carries an air of calm about him. He is already fitting in with everyone else very nicely.
Daisy Maud is Jago's little sister and was made by the same friend in England who made him. She is made of German mohair with floral fabric cotton paw pads that match her pretty sunhat, and glass eyes. A sweet and loving little girl bear, she is happy to be reunited with her big brother, Jago, and enjoys being spoiled by her new Daddy.
Orson, named after the little bear constellation, was made by the same friend who made Jago and Daisy-Maud. He comes ready dressed in 'trousers' made of German mohair accessorised with embroidered braces. His paws are ultra suede and his eyes are glass. He is described as being a little bit serious minded but very friendly. He's fine once he gets to know you.
This beautiful nursery rhyme tea set was made in England by the Shell China Company in the 1930s. It features six cups, saucers and plates as well as a teapot, milk jug and sugar bowl. Each piece is gilt edged and decorated and feature different nursery rhymes including: "Ding Dong Dell Pussy’s in the Well", "The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe", "Old King Cole", "Pat a Cake Pat a Cake Baker’s Man", "Little Tommy Tittlemouse", "See Saw Margery Daw" and &This Little Pig Went to Market" amongst others. The set I acquired from England, and it is a sister set to a 1920s Shell China Company nursery rhyme tea set and a 1920s faerie tale tea set. There are also doll (bear) sized tea spoons which are sterling silver salt spoons, and the spoon in the "Little Tommy Tittlemouse" sugar bowl is an Eighteenth Century mustard spoon and is sterling silver.

This is a reshoot of a mech suit reinterpreted as a space knight.
This is part of a theme I call Astra (Stars), where Castle and Space collide. The knight is Astrum Valor, the knight of defending the helpless.
This is one half of a "set" where the knight Valor faces off against a Blacktron themed dragon called Obscurtronum.

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!
