Story

Heimdall is a reconnaissance spaceship. Powered by a single yet powerful thermonuclear engine from BST (Benny Space Technologies), coupled with a high-energy particles grabber under the cockpit that helps to replenish fuel supplies on a long missions. To disperse a ridiculous amounts of heat from reactor's core a series of thermo-dump panels are mount beneath the fuselage. Being a reconnaissance ship it is also equipped with a sensors array under the cockpit and some ion cannons at each wing, you known, just in case....

 

Design and build

It took me more than 5 months to design and build it. A major inspiration comes from amazing artwork by Michal Kus. Especially the color-blocking and indentations at the front of the wings were a place from which I started. Along the way I shifted things my own way to suit ideas that were jumbling inside my head or I just wanted to incorporate, like the thermo-dump panels from Hamilton's series of books. There were many fun challenges along the way not only related to its geometry or color-blocking but also in making sure that this flying mosaic would be rigid. All of this required many rebuilds and tests but I had a blast doing all of this :)

 

Building instructions

For anyone curious how Heimdall is built or want to look at some building techniques I have created a studio model based on the actual build. It should be more handy than a regular step-by-step instructions. You can download it from here github.com/lechkulina/Heimdall

The other night we were sitting on our porch, and this fawn came running through our yard to the neighbors. Then it came running back and stood in front of our windows, panting.. I don’t know if it was being chased, or it got separated from its mother, the poor little thing was just in such distress. Finally ran off towards the lake.

This is either juvenile male or a female Northern Cardinal. Eating a berry from the bazillions on my native Sabal Palm tree. This is Florida's state tree and I love it in the front yard.

Cool shaped old abandoned church.

Front Yard View along Kansas Hwy 54 west of Iola, KS

Brown fronted woodpecker (Dendrocoptes auriceps)

now here is Rudy Hollay's Barn...this front view shows the Italianate style ...this barn is walking distance from the Sterns Barn...I do think the woman is going to church service across the street..got her Sunday best on.

Canandaigua Lake's pier is a gorgeous place to watch a sunrise. The herons, ducks and cormorants line up to watch it with you, while the seagulls fly over.

Couldn't get it in a good pose. But it's a lifer, so I'm glad to have gotten this shot.

I shot this out of my window while doing 80+ mph along Hwy 44 between Chickasha and Newcastle, Oklahoma back on May 21st.

 

The day before this kicked my butt in Paul's Valley, and the news of Moore being obliterated dampened my excitement about storm chasing for the time being. I was actually a little shaken up by the recent news.

 

So, in short, I wasn't searching for a storm to chase on this day... I was actually heading to my favorite BBQ drive-in in Spencer before heading to DFW to catch my flight back home when I saw this black mass to my left.

 

Funny enough, It was a lovely little chase that saw some great structure and thankfully didn't produce a tornado over the metro areas... but that was yet to come a week later.

The books all tell me to avoid front bokeh, but I couldn't do that here. First time I used XP2, and I really like it.

A cold winter's day is when I first laid eyes on this house. I parked at the end of the driveway (just barely) and walked down just as the sky was turning that deep blue colour after the sun has set. I walked inside and had a quick look around and knew this was a location that I needed to come back to. Unfortunately, I never marked down the location, I thought about the house numerous times over the years and knew that I had to find it again to go back there. Fast forward a few years and the location again popped back onto my radar. I finally made it out there and was able to see it again for the first time.

 

Built in the late 1800s this Victorian Farmhouse has sat abandoned for about 16 years according to a calendar on the wall from 2006. A time capsule with furniture, belongings and personal items left behind. It also has one of the most amazing staircases I have seen inside an abandoned farmhouse. It has sat decaying for at least that long while the surrounding land was used for livestock until at least 2015. Since then the land surrounding the home has become severely overgrown and almost invisible to people travelling by while the surrounding crops continue to be actively farmed.

to view this large press "L"

 

i absolutely loved Chicago.

 

you can imagine the looks i got from people in the sky-deck when i took this photo.

 

thank you all so much for yesterday's photo! the number of views it got in just one day is overwhelming.

 

you can see flash reflections in the window, grosssss.

 

Yeah, guess where the engine is...

A pretty day got me going out this a shorter lens today. While it was a bit cold about -10F, the clear skies and the low angle sun (that's all we get this time of year) made for nice lighting.

 

This is looking out my front door about half an hour past noon sun. You can see why southern exposures are very desirable here in Fairbanks.

A storm front moves over the Alaska Range south of Delta Junction Alaska. The wind was strong out of the south and the clouds were moving south over the range, giving a dramatic scene to a beautiful view.

nice on black
