This is for a event which theme is "box". Thus I tried my best to build a lego box with bricks. The reason I choose 6985 is simple: I own this set :p. The concept of my work is: Imagination from the box. I built a new spaceship with limited parts because I don't wanna display the original one :)
Unfortunately I cannot found the black classic space minifig, so I used blue one instead on the cover.
Summer is fading away. This spot was filled with beautiful, golden light all around when the northbound dinner train would pass through earlier in the summer. A small amount of light is present tonight, illuminating Mass Coastal 2007 with the dinner train like a spotlight. Enjoy the last bit of summer, as winter will be here before you know it.
''Oh everyday is Christmas when you're here with me
I'm safe in your arms, you're my angel baby
Everyday is Christmas when you're by my side
You're the gift that keeps givin', my angel for life..''

Santi Bartolomeo e Gaetano is a Renaissance style, Roman Catholic church in central Bologna; it is located near the Two Towers, adjacent to the Strada Maggiore.
A church at the site dedicated to St Bartholemew had existed since the 5th century; it was likely built atop an even older church and housed Benedictine monks till the 16th century. The church was designed by Giovanni Battista Falcetti with elaboration by Agostino Barelli, and owes the awkward facade due to its construction in 1517 at the site of a palace begun by Andrea da Formigine, commissioned by a member of the Gozzadini. The project, which is seen in the single-story portico along the exterior, was interrupted after the death of the patron, soon after completion of what became the side portico.

La iglesia de Santi Bartolomeo e Gaetano, de estilo renacentista y de confesión católica romana, se encuentra en el centro de Bolonia, cerca de las Dos Torres, junto a la Strada Maggiore.
En este mismo lugar existÃa una iglesia dedicada a San Bartolomé desde el siglo V; probablemente se construyó sobre una iglesia aún más antigua y albergó monjes benedictinos hasta el siglo XVI. La iglesia fue diseñada por Giovanni Battista Falcetti, con detalles de Agostino Barelli, y su peculiar fachada se debe a su construcción en 1517 sobre el emplazamiento de un palacio iniciado por Andrea da Formigine, por encargo de un miembro de la familia Gozzadini. El proyecto, que se aprecia en el pórtico de una sola planta del exterior, se interrumpió tras la muerte del mecenas, poco después de finalizar lo que se convertirÃa en el pórtico lateral.
Cabo Girão is a lofty sea cliff located along the southern coast of the island of Madeira, in the Portuguese archipelago of Madeira. Cabo Girão is a popular lookout point, especially after a glass-floored viewing platform was installed in October 2012.[ The location is a popular starting point for hikers.
It is situated less than two kilometres west from the centre of Câmara de Lobos, between the parishes of Quinta Grande and Câmara de Lobos. A diamond-shaped sea-cliff escarpment from 560 metres (1,840 ft) to 589 metres (1,932 ft) above sea level, Cabo Girão lies between two river-valleys that flow into the Atlantic Ocean. The escarpment/cliffs extend approximately three kilometres between the urban sprawl of Câmara de Lobos to the east and the river-valley of Quinta Grande in the west.
Although brochures claim that it is the second highest cliff in Europe, at least five European cliffs (Hornelen at 860 metres, Cape Enniberg at 750 metres, VixÃa Herbeira at 613 metres, Preikestolen at 604 metres and Slieve League at 601 metres) are higher.
There are terraced fields (Fajãs de Cabo Girão) located below the sheer cliffs, which at one time only accessible by boat. In August 2003, a cable car was installed on the slope of the cliff so farmers can reach these low-lying fields.
You may notice that this green iguana is not in fact green! She came to The Living Rainforest after being a pet for a number of years. It is common in the pet trade to selectively breed individuals with more desirable traits, and artificially create different colour morphs. This can cause issues within the captive population of the species, as it often involves in-breeding.
The green iguana (Iguana iguana), also known as the American iguana or the common green iguana, is a large, arboreal, mostly herbivorous species of lizard of the genus Iguana. Usually, this animal is simply called the iguana. The green iguana ranges over a large geographic area; it is native from southern Brazil and Paraguay as far north as Mexico, and has been introduced from South America to Puerto Rico and is very common throughout the island, where it is colloquially known as gallina de palo ("bamboo chicken" or "chicken of the tree") and considered an invasive species; in the United States, feral populations also exist in South Florida (including the Florida Keys), Hawaii, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. Green iguanas have also successfully colonised the island of Anguilla, arriving on the island in 1995 after rafting across the Caribbean from Guadeloupe, where they were introduced.
A herbivore, it has adapted significantly with regard to locomotion and osmoregulation (the maintenance of constant osmotic pressure in the fluids of an organism by the control of water and salt concentrations) as a result of its diet. It grows to 1.5 m in length from head to tail, although a few specimens have grown more than 2 m with bodyweights upward of 9.1 kg.
This animal is a resident of The Living Rainforest which is an indoor greenhouse tropical rainforest that is located in Hampstead Norreys in Berkshire, England. It is an ecological centre, educational centre and visitor attraction consisting of three glasshouses, operated and run by the Trust for Sustainable Living. The glasshouses are named Amazonica, Lowlands and Small Islands respectively.
The Living Rainforest has been accredited by the Council for Learning Outside of the Classroom and awarded the LOtC Quality Badge. Each year around 25,000 children visit the Living Rainforest as part of their school's curriculum. It is open 7-days a week from 09:30 to 16:00.
Bull elephant in musth. This guy was following a herd of matriarchs and their herd. Keeping an eye on a young bull family member and making sure he kept back from the rest of the herd. At some point the herd slowed down and the bull decided to get a little amorous with this termite mound where he snuggled it with his trunk and dry humped it. Samburu, March 2024

This is an old picture that I found. I intended to post it a long time ago but never got around to it. It is a little stream out in the country (the middle of nowhere Kansas actually) that I drove by and turned around and went back to look again. The only thing I did to this was crop it. I hope you enjoy it.

Krafla is an area of about 10 km in diameter with a 90 km long fissure zone, in the north of Iceland in the Mývatn region. Its highest peak reaches up to 818 m and it is 2 km in depth. The Icelandic word "vÃti" means "hell". In former times, people often believed hell to be under volcanoes. The crater VÃti has a green lake inside of it. The Krafla area also includes Námafjall, a geothermal area with boiling mudpools and steaming fumaroles.

Linus caught a bird, his first one. I woke up at about 6 o'clock in the morning because of a noise. When I went downstairs to look what had happened, he had already brought the bird indoors and Fynn was behind him. Apparently Linus was so surprised to see me that he dropped his prey. The confusion that followed allowed me to usher the cats into the living room and close the door. The bird was still alive and had sought refuge in a cat cave. I took the cat cave and put it out on the terrace and when I checked on the bird a few minutes later it had disappeared. I hope that it wasn't injured but there was no blood and it was obviously still able to fly. Linus wasn't pleased that I had stolen his bird. I'm afraid that he is determined to catch a new one.
This is a feather from a Gentoo Penguin when it was molting.
I found this feather at a penguin colony on the Falkland Islands.
The width of the feather is very thin, only 5mm or 1/4".

...but the nestlings and the gravestone are in a good focus.
I was really frightend as Mom jumped up and flight towards me today. The nestlings are quite differnt. I saw 3 in differnt sizes.
I have much better photos of Mom but this was such an exciting moment.
...aber die Nistlinge und der Grabstein sind doch nicht schlecht erwischt.
Ich war echt erschrocken als der Mama-Uhu plötzlich in meine Richtung flog. Das sind riesen Viecher. Es sind drei Junge im Nest. Alle unterschiedlich groß, weil die Uhus im Abstand von ca. acht Tagen ein Ei legen.
Ich habe viel bessere Fotos von der Uhu-Mama, aber dieses spiegelt diesen aufregenden Moment am besten wider.

These are a few shots of the Tri-colored Heron that I posted earlier posing all straight and tall! He/she is also capable of launching off of that old dead tree in the water at any angle! Photos taken on Horsepen Bayou!
I want to add that even though I am posting three different views of this particular bird in action, I in no way expect people to comment on every photo! In the past I left the comments on for only one shot, but some complained that they wanted to comment on the other scenes! Just take you pick and enjoy the mastery of this balancing act!

my ponytail is growing, finally!!!
I never wear this dress because I never know what to wear with it. Specifically the shoes. Alice just found these shoes at a yard sale this weekend and I think they're the best I can do with that tricky shade of brown orange, and I get to keep them for a bit, to stretch them out for her!

Named for its loud ‘bob white’ call, this quail is a small chunky bird with short rounded wings. Males have a black cap, white throat and chin, and a white stripe through and above the eye to the back of the head. Females have a tan colored throat and no black neck collar.
Bobwhite quail live in brushy areas interspersed with fields. They prefer edges, fencerows and areas with vegetative cover.
Bobwhites are active during the day; they feed on seeds, fruit, insects and green plants. Pairs are monogamous with pair bonds sometimes persisting between breeding seasons. Males advertise during the May to August breeding season with a distinctive bob-bob-white call.
Females lay large clutches of up to 14 eggs, which hatch after 23 days. The precocial young are about the size of a quarter coin, and feed largely on insects. The chicks double their weight every 10 days can fly within 2-3 weeks.
Bobwhites are commonly seen in groups known as coveys. Coveys usually consist of about 10-30 birds, depending on the time of year. Every night, for safety, the covey forms a circle with their heads facing outwards, away from each other and their tails together. If a predator startles them, the covey flushes in all directions.
I found this male at Dinner Island Wild Life Management Area in Hendry County, Florida.
Unloading is almost finished, and the 6D80 limestone train will soon form the 6H80 10.28 empties back to Tunstead.
At the time this service ran weekly, usually on a Wednesday. It was easy to capture as its speed through the unloader was so slow. Just as well, as coal workings were by then fairly infrequent as the last coal fired power station in the UK was due to close in 2024. The coal hoppers had arrived two days previously and the GBRF loco that brought them from Immingham left as a light engine.
On this day the temperature was just above freezing point with no wind, so it was on a fairly high output.
How we will miss these quiet giants that have been part of the UK landscape for over fifty years. This one started generating power in 1968 and has a maximum output of 2,000 megawatts.
Best enjoyed 'large'.
A careful look at the pile of coal will reveal two yellow mechanical shovels. They are constantly moving the coal to prevent fires which would occur due to the heating process that happens as the coal 'composts'.
This is the east window, designed by Charles Eamer Kempe. A crucifixion scene, it has the Virgin on one side and St John on the other. It was dedicated to Rev. Alexander Fownes Luttrell, rector of the parish, who died in 1888. Irritatingly out of focus is this charming row of angels at the top.
This image is my first image to gain interest from a major magazine. I was contacted by a woman from "Ski Magazine" in regards to this photo a couple of months ago, and today I recieved a copy of the magazine with my photo in it.
I didn't get the check yet, but heh, it's sort of nice considering I took this shot about a month after getting my first DSLR. I just stuck it on Bulb and went with the longest exposure I could without a cable release (30 seconds)...

This is the nebula rich region in the constellation of Monoceros the Unicorn with the dark Cone Nebula (left of centre) and the small V-shaped and bright Hubble’s Variable Nebula at bottom, a reflection nebula that varies in form and brightness. Above the Cone Nebula is the triangular Christmas Tree Cluster, NGC 2264, here upside down as the bright blue star 15 Mon is the base of the tree. The large region of nebulosity is Sharpless 2-273. The V-shaped dark nebula above centre is LDN 1603.
Near 15 Mon is a blue reflection nebula. Another blue reflection nebula IC 2169 and associated star cluster Collinder 95 is at left — I framed the field to contain this nebula. Other bits of reflection nebulosity surround it - clockwise: NGC 2245, NGC 2247 and IC 446 above the main nebula. The rich faint cluster near centre is Trumpler 5.
This is a blend of 8 x 5-minute exposures at ISO 800 unfiltered with 6 x 8-minute exposures at ISO 1600 shot through an Optolong L-Enhance dual-band nebula enhancement filter (it lets through only Oxygen III blue-green and Hydrogen-alpha red to really enhance the nebulosity). All exposures with the Canon EOS Ra mirrorless camera through the SharpStar HNT150 Hyperbolic Newtonian Astrograph at f/2.8, from home on a very clear moonless night January 26, 2020. All stacked, aligned and blended in Photoshop 2020.
