From a friend's private distillery.
He produces wine and tsipouro from his own grapes and he asked me to take some pictures from his cellar in the basement, in order to decorate them on his wall.
I took many images from all the elements in the cellar and we were both happy with the end results.
In the bottles,regardless the brands on them, there is fine tsipouro, which we have honoured in many occasions and we still do :)
More about tsipouro here:
Roses are always a beautiful photo motif. Especially in black and white they show their most beautiful and interesting sides.

Brussels - Atomium II
Press 'F' if you like it.

The Atomium is a building in Brussels originally constructed for Expo 58, the 1958 Brussels World's Fair. Designed by the engineer André Waterkeyn and architects André and Jean Polak, it stands 102 m (335 ft) tall. Its nine 18 m (59 ft) diameter stainless steel clad spheres are connected so that the whole forms the shape of a unit cell of an iron crystal magnified 165 billion times. It is a museum.
Tubes of 3 m (9.8 ft) diameter connect the spheres along the 12 edges of the cube and all eight vertices to the centre. They enclose stairs, escalators and a lift (in the central, vertical tube) to allow access to the five habitable spheres which contain exhibit halls and other public spaces. The top sphere includes a restaurant which has a panoramic view of Brussels. CNN named it Europe's most bizarre building.

Het Atomium is een monument in het Heizelpark in Brussel. Het is een stalen constructie die bestaat uit negen bollen met elk een diameter van 18 meter. De bollen vormen samen het kubisch ruimtelijk gecentreerde kristalstructuur van ijzer, 165 miljard maal vergroot. Het gebouw werd ontworpen door ingenieur André Waterkeyn en is sinds de restauratie bekleed met roestvrij staal. Vijf van de negen bollen zijn toegankelijk voor het publiek.
Het monument is 102,705 meter hoog (de diagonaal van de kubus). Het grondvlak is een zeshoek met een diagonaal van 94 meter. De negen bollen, die een diameter van 18 meter hebben, bestaan elk uit 48 driehoekige platen van 1 mm dik. Voor de restauratie waren er 720 platen per bol.
Nimbus II
My entry into Eurobricks' May 4th contest in the ‘Imperial Ship’ category.
I’ve wanted to build one of ECHenry’s designs for some time and the build prompt from the contest provided the perfect excuse! Likewise, I often lurk among these forums so this contest provided the impetus to finally sign up.
This MOC is based on ECHenry's idea for a fighter called the Nimbus II: a ship that bridges the design between the Republic Nimbus-class V-wing and the Imperial TIE fighter. EC Henry writes:
“This fighter was the successor to the Nimbus-class V-wing. Most notably, the Nimbus II lacked the shield projector nose of the earlier V-wing. This left the Nimbus II almost completely unshielded, but it significantly improved speed, maneuverability, and power efficiency. The Nimbus II would be a common sight for the first several years of Imperial rule, before it was largely replaced by the more robust and more maintenance-friendly TIE fighter.”
As soon as I got my hands on the new Pagani windscreen elements, I wanted to give this cockpit combo a try. It’s not too much of a stretch to imagine how this design might later morph into that of the iconic TIE fighter.
There are a few details that I’m rather pleased with: the little greebles in the engines which are I think I made pretty accurate to EC Henry’s original design, as well as the wings which have the black panels reminiscent of the TIE solar panels on one side and flat grey on the other.
Finally, I squeezed a little functionality into the model: turning the gear between the thrusters at the back of the craft will rotate the wings into flight or landing position. Luckily, there’s just enough friction in the mechanism to keep the wings vertical when they need to be.

What is on the other side of this wall?
Where is the end of the world?
Would it be wortwhile to walk to there?
What is on the other side of the rainbow bridge?
How could I manage to be reborn in this house??
Uuuuh, so many tough questions for my little brain ;-)
Happy Caturday 17.3. "Meditation"
Donald II, or rather Domnall mac Causantín (in Modern Gaelic: Dòmhnall mac Chòiseim), was a king of the Picts who reigned between 889 and 900. He was the son of Constantine I (Constantín mac Cináeda), and succeeded Giric and Eochaid following their expulsion or death. The Prophecy of Berchán, which is not a prophecy at all but a poem written in the 12th century or later, gives him the epithet Dásachtach, "the Madman".
The Chronicle of the Kings of Alba records that during his reign “The Northmen wasted Pictland…” and that “…a battle occurred between Danes and Scots at Innisibsolian where the Scots had victory”
According to the Chronicle, he was killed sometime in 900 by Vikings at Dunnottar in Aberdeenshire. It has been suggested that this event was part of King Harald Fairhair of Norway’s ravaging of Scotland as described in the Heimskringla. There is some disagreement about the nature of his death, with the Prophecy of Berchán attributing it to Gaels, not Vikings, and other sources reporting that he died at Forres.
Donald was succeeded by his cousin Constantine II, while his son Malcom, would become king in 943.
