It is easy to see the hooks on the end of the legs of this bumble bee; hence the title. Overton, Hampshire.

I've been wanting to build myself one of these for a couple of years. If you're at Brickworld Chicago this weekend come by the GamerLUG tables to see it in person.

 

The hooks do open, but they lock in place for safe operation. If they are open, the entire thing tends to explode. :)

Taken in Alanson, Michigan.

 

I find it interesting that you can see where the wood has been marked by the swing of the hook and where rust from the hook has transferred to the wood.

“Sai quando stai tra il sonno e la veglia?

Quando ti ricordi ancora quello che sogni?

Ecco, è lì che io ti amerò per sempre.”

About 60 years ago many apprentices were told to go and get a sky hook - an impossible task it seemed, but I have at last found one

Sitting outside the elevator of our hotel, sat an active phone. Given its metallic veneer, had to grab a picture of it!

For almost 800 years the lighthouse at Hook Head has shone a beacon for sailors off Ireland’s South-East coast, making it one of the oldest working lighthouses in the world.

"Allow me? I am Captain James Bartholomew Hook, world's most famous crook - captain of the fine mighty Jolly Roger and its crew, honorable pirate, finder of many treasures and killer of the Croco... Okay, who am I kidding.."

 

For some reason, Disney's Captain Hook was always a favorite of mine. Not really evil, clumsy and funny at times, having his own nemesis in the shape of a comical crocodile - and always being outwitted by Peter Pan. Or clumsy Mr. Smee.

 

Long story short: I had to build him - in this iconic pose, including the crocodile. It was great fun and a challenge to build at this scale, especially with those limiting colors (I'm talking to you, magenta!).

A pirate contest on Brikkelauget provided me with the perfect opportunity so it had to be done :D

All sluices raised at Penton Hook on the River Thames near Staines during the floods of 2014. Typically, the fall of the lock is 4 feet. At the time I took the picture, there was no difference in the water level either side of the weir. It was "interesting" walking over the weir, feeling the rumble of the water below my feet.
