Them in the infinite

This aerial photograph captures the sculptural beauty of Namibia's vast desert dunes. Shaped by centuries of wind, the golden formations stretch endlessly across the horizon, creating a mesmerizing interplay of light, shadow, and texture in one of the oldest deserts on Earth.

A breathtaking view of adventurers ascending the sharp ridge of a colossal desert dune, their silhouettes contrasting against the golden sands and deep shadows. The vast, untouched beauty of the desert unfolds beneath them, as each step leaves a fleeting mark on the timeless landscape. This mesmerizing play of light and shadow captures the spirit of exploration and resilience in one of nature’s most stunning landscapes.

Raggi silenti,

fra le nuvole scivolano,

tuffo nel mare.

A seemingly endless road stretches through Namibia’s golden desert, leading travelers into the vast, untouched wilderness. The perfect embodiment of solitude, adventure, and the boundless freedom of the open road.

In the heart of the desert, where silence reigns, a lone, weathered bush clings to the shifting sands. The wind carves intricate patterns on the golden dunes, casting long shadows that dance under the endless blue sky. A testament to resilience, survival, and the quiet beauty of the arid wilderness.

It's Spaceship Week at Horizon Exports! For the next few days, we'll be showing off the front-and-center representatives of Infinite Horizon, so head over and take a look!

The sun leans gently into the horizon, painting the dunes in liquid gold. A woman stands still, rooted like an ancient tree, yet light as wind. Her silhouette dances with the fading light, a quiet hymn to the setting day. The sand cradles her steps, tracing stories soon to be swept away by the whispers of the evening breeze.

 

In this fleeting moment, time dissolves. The mountains bow in the distance, and the sky hums softly, wrapping the earth in warmth. The delicate lace that adorns her moves like petals in the air – fragile, yet woven with strength. She stands not against nature, but with it, becoming a thread in the vast, eternal fabric of land and sky.

 

This is not merely sunset; it is a symphony of stillness. In the heart of Florianópolis, where the dunes stretch like ocean waves, the ordinary melts into the extraordinary. The dance of shadow and light leaves behind an unspoken truth – that beauty exists in the quiet, the pause, the breath between one step and the next.

O sol repousa suavemente no horizonte, pintando as dunas com ouro líquido. Uma mulher permanece imóvel, enraizada como uma árvore antiga, mas leve como o vento. Sua silhueta dança com a luz que se apaga, um hino silencioso ao dia que se despede. A areia acolhe seus passos, traçando histórias que logo serão apagadas pelos sussurros da brisa noturna.

 

Nesse instante fugaz, o tempo se dissolve. As montanhas se curvam à distância, e o céu canta baixo, envolvendo a terra em calor. A renda delicada que a veste se move como pétalas no ar – frágil, mas tecida com força. Ela não está contra a natureza, mas com ela, tornando-se um fio no vasto e eterno tecido entre terra e céu.

 

Este não é apenas um pôr do sol; é uma sinfonia de quietude. No coração de Florianópolis, onde as dunas se estendem como ondas do mar, o ordinário se dissolve no extraordinário. A dança de luz e sombra deixa uma verdade não dita – a beleza existe no silêncio, na pausa, na respiração entre um passo e o próximo.

Tranquility Republic recruitment poster, featuring the Republic's premiere Dagger-chassis Vanguard.

It's Spaceship Week at Horizon Exports! For the next few days, we'll be showing off the front-and-center representatives of Infinite Horizon, so head over and take a look!

Owned and operated by Jackson Gunn and Tory Vesper of the Royal Flush survey team, the Transient Slipstream II is a heavily modified variant on the venerable Stingray-chassis Pathfinder manufactured by Horizon Exports.

 

Its most prominent feature is its multipurpose heavy driver mounted inboard; with a barrel "repurposed" from a Tranquility Republic Dagger and a unique "revolver" action, the Slipstream can load and fire a variety of munitions, including coilgun slugs, missiles, or even one-off particle beam ultracapacitors.

  

it is an incredibly odd experience for me to try to reverse-engineer something i built in real life using LDD, it's usually the other way around.

 

the rebuild of this thing:

because it kept falling apart, which is not a quality you want in the mascot for your eternally under development boardgame

Golden sands sculpted by the wind rise and fall like the rhythm of an ancient song. The desert, vast and untamed, holds stories of time within its curves, kissed by the light of the setting sun. A masterpiece of nature’s gentle yet relentless touch.

Owned and operated by Jackson Gunn and Tory Vesper of the Royal Flush survey team, the Transient Slipstream is a heavily modified variant on the venerable Stingray-chassis Pathfinder.

The workhorse of the Tranquility Republic, the Dagger-chassis Vanguard represents the technological and military prowess of the lunar separatists, and their decades of isolated military buildup in anticipation of a war that never came.

 

Spaceship week concludes, with some spaceship shooty action and also a poster!

 

(for some reason i really like the phrase "keep 'em flying")

Der Blick von der Schwarzwaldhochstraße (beim Mummelsee) über den mittleren Schwarzwald bis hin zum Feldberg (hinten rechts). Die Aufnahme ist ebenfalls an Heiligabend in der Abenddämmerung entstanden (die Stimmung an jenem Abend war so unglaublich, dass ich alleine an diesem Abend ca. 200 Bilder gemacht habe).

 

Soundtrack: God is an astronaut - infinite horizons

Wünsche euch noch ein paar schöne Tage in diesem Jahr!

The Brise module allows the Nimbus to act as a courier-chassis vessel, with upgraded storage and fuel capacity. The lightest of all three Nimbus modules, the Brise is lightly armed and armored, but still combat capable in a pinch.

The Tempête is the most heavily armed and armored Nimbus module, with the majority of its active mass dedicated to weapons systems. Of note is the horizontal-launch missile bays mounted on both sides of the ship, giving the Tempête excellent standoff capacity.

The Soleil module is a workhorse, offering tactical flexibility without any true specialization. The majority of the PAC/EUROCOM space force consists of Soleil Pattern Nimbuses.

Rather than forge full-fledged spacecraft tailored for specific use, the Pan-African Coalition and European Commonwealth instead created a modular, jump-capable crew capsule capable of docking to a number of unmanned, specialized modules conforming to a standardized chassis type. This configuration of spacecraft not only cuts down on overall production costs, but also allows for a tactical flexibility not found in many other vessels operating in the Infinite Horizon today.

When a drunken design proposal of "gun, engines, life-support" is interpreted a bit too literally, this is pretty much what you end up with

Second draft for the cover of Infinite Horizon: Fringewar.

While sporting some additional weaponry in the form of light beam emitters and missile launchers, the Dagger's primary weapon is a fierce spinal-mounted mass driver. Thanks to the Republic's ubiquitous use of surface-based mass launchers for supply transfers to its orbital cities, the power and range of this coilgun is unmatched by any other national or corporate space force.

The Slipstream's most prominent addition is the massive multipurpose heavy driver mounted inboard. With a barrel "repurposed" from a Tranquility Republic Vanguard, the Slipstream makes use of a unique "revolver" action; up to six different munitions can be loaded into the cylinder and fired when ready, including coilgun slugs, missiles, or even one-off particle beam ultracapacitors.

The Slipstream makes use of an overtuned Oryx Aerospace V-5000 chemical rocket motor for its main propulsion system, with two outboard reaction pods for maneuvering. Electrical energy is supplied by two outboard solar panels, as well as a microfusion battery providing backup power.

I've started a new group for film shots called film for friday. . If you don't shoot film, you should give it a try. It will change the way you think. It will improve your digital shots. If you have some film shots, consider joining the group and drop by anytime to see the posts.
