Birds of Keoladeo 1.
Bharatpur, Rajasthan, India.
Keoladeo Park (Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary) is a famous avifauna sanctuary that hosts thousands of birds, especially during the winter season. Over 230 species of birds are known to be resident.
Another attempt at capturing a bird in flight. While walking near Rupertswood Lake in Sunbury I spotted this bird sitting on a branch in the water and just waited for it to take off. From the sequence of about 12 shots I was pretty happy with this one.
Futuron - Retro solar space ship.
The beginning/Genesis :
At the beginning of September, I re-watched the old animated as X-Bomber at 43 years old ! It was my birthday this month. Don't ask me what went through my mind at the time, I don't know at all! I wanted to go back to childhood, because I have the impression of having aged. I had to straighten "the bar", lol ! Seeing these old Retro solar boats literally “blew my mind”. I never realized that a lot of anime from that era had a "strange spaceship" conception, transforming old 14-18th century ships / galleons with engines for space. Yet it was so obvious! And it was there, that suddenly, I remembered Jayce, Cobra, etc ... In short, I saw all the ships of the anime of that time scroll through my head, like a comet in front of my eyes (which booms crashing into my head). And no one had done this in Lego. At least I don't remember. In itself, the beginning of an idea or impression that smelled good, and / or had potential.
It was the very beginning of the inspiration and brainstorming in my head for Lego Classic Space!
The concept :
I did something unusual, non-conformism, eccentric, disconcerting and crazy at the same time. I make a double combination and double ration, animated 70-90's which it was the fashion of space ships and Lego Space Futurons 87-90's. For a good Retro nostalgia I combined elements of the Azuris ship from « Message from space : galactic wars », the Cephalus ship from Star Fleet X-Bomber, Glory of the universe of Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, and the Solaris of the Mysterious cities of Gold ! 2 periods 70-90 in 1 ! Fashion Geek powa, total !

I took again in inspiration:
- The front and landing feet of Glory of the Universe.
- Sails and propulsion reactors of the Cephalus.
- The front spur and the hexagonal solar sail at the top of the Solaris mast.
- Part of the sails and the structure of the Azuris.
Remarkable elements, NPU, conversion of parts, techniques :
I converted parts #4346 and #4345, in all directions, with levers, for the machinery. Part #44938 bionicle shield, with a "mechanical" aspect converted into an energy capacitor. Various parts of Droids (starwars) converted in the machinery and on the outer deck. Bionicle Shield #45275 converted into deflectors, on the deck of the ship. Kind of like "Viking ship/longship/drakkar" shields. Big Trident Bionicle #40339 = excellent for large boat emblems in general. I used a slope technique for the sides of the hull. For the rear canopy in the hull, I used a SNOT technique with part #30249.

Conclusion:
I built in a perspective of pseudo-realism, pseudo-likely and pseudo-consistency, with compromises with the Retro concept of the animated ones of the years 70-90's. I wanted something playable and fun at the same time.
I had a lot of difficulty and trial and errors, because I had never done a Lego boat. I worked several times until 4am ! I often work like this: as long as the inspiration is there, I must not lose it, and I work until I no longer see the time passing. But the opposite has also happened to me several times : several times the symptom of the "blank sheet" for 1 to 3 days, without knowing how I was going to build, find inspiration, think about the logic of the construction, etc. . This feeling of "emptiness", that you feel something is happening, and you have it on the tip of your tongue, but it does not come out! Annoying and horrifying sensation! :)
The inclination of the walls gave me intellectual problems. It took a long time to build the engine room. I had to redo it at least 3-4 times. I wanted a maximum of diversity and complexity at the same time. The confined space of the hull gave me difficulties: how to integrate "likely" elements in so little volume ? I have lost my hair several times. Just those damn shower and toilet, I had to spend 3 hours each, to do, undo and redo in all the sauces. Like a little monkey who tests all combinations. Shouldn't bring me a banana at this time, because I think I would have been screwed to make a monkey cry as a bonus .... lol
This Intermediate Egret In breeding plumage was foraging for food and as I approached he started to dance.
I can not help but love the birds that I photograph. I was very excited to see this bird perform like he did.
Captured at Cotton Tree, Maroochydore, Sunshine Coast, Queensland Australia.

Saturday, April 1 at 230PM SLT Ravens Eye Gallery will be hosting an exhibit from the students of Cuardach University’s Intermediate Photography class! The dress code is smart-casual/cocktail.
An Intermediate Egret in the shallows of Pine River on Sunday afternoon. These birds have long legs! This is equivalent to us standing in water just above the knees. Very inquisitive species. This one came close enough to check me out and wasn’t phased by my presence.

ES 102 Intermediate Swivel Arm Chair 1968
Bright polished aluminum, Eames Universal base, frame and arms;
black painted tube. Black leather upholstery on the seat, back and arm rests.
Introduced in 1968, discontinued in 1973 due to high production costs.
quite rare version – need some attention but overall in a very good shape.
The intermediate egret, median egret, smaller egret, or yellow-billed egret (Ardea intermedia) is a medium-sized heron. Some taxonomists put the species in the genus Egretta or Mesophoyx. It is a resident breeder from east Africa across the Indian subcontinent to Southeast Asia and Australia.
This species, as its scientific name implies, is intermediate in size between the great egret and smaller white egrets like the little egret and cattle egret, though nearer to little than great. It is about 56–72 cm (22–28 in) long with a 105–115 cm (41–45 in) wingspan and weighs c. 400 g (14 oz), with all-white plumage, generally dark legs and a thickish yellow bill. Breeding birds may have a reddish or black bill, greenish yellow gape skin, loose filamentous plumes on their breast and back, and dull yellow or pink on their upper legs (regional variations). The sexes are similar.
