A rainbow layered pastry, known as lapis sagu or kueh lapis. A traditional favourite in the South-east Asia. :)
This treat brings back waves of childhood memories, of me peeling the layers off neatly and rolling them up before popping it in my mouth.
Traditionally, the top layer is always red, although I have yet to discover why.
Available in the store. (check my profile!)

A guy in my tool collecting club asked if I could take a stab at fixing this tiny Prentiss vise. It's one of the models with a swivel jaw that allows you to grip tapered objects. Apparently somebody had over tightened it, and the swivel jaw broke. The repair involved milling off the remnants of the broken section and then restoring it by fixing a new piece with a couple of flat head machine screws. Unfortunately I neglected to document the process. It was harder then I initially imagined, but it turned out great.
LOTR miniature: as Saruman is the wizard of many colours (white broken into its constituents like light by a prism) I actually used every primary colour in layers upon layers of dry brushing going from purple to yellow and finally finishing with a heavier bone white drybrush. Skin had a wash of ogryn flesh over the white dry brushing and the cloak a thinned Badab black wash. Just some specific highlighting finished it off with mostly watered down white.
As I live so high now I had to test out my DIY tilt lens here and took a few photos through the kitchen window.

This was originally built as an SRM one of those painted silver for the Queens jubilee in 1977. I later returned it to standard livery. This was another toy bus from Woolworths with extensive detail added inside. Once again the model suffered in not having enough depth to the side advert panel. the shaping of the front blind panel also looks a bit suspect.
On this model the clear plastic used in the windows has aged terribly and is broken and distorted.
All of these models have now found a new home and some may be rejuvenated in due course!
We encountered this young lady with her miniature horse and cart on a small road in De Moeren, Vlaanderen.
So I'm teaching two courses at the University of New Hampshire this semester, substituting for a colleague who's on maternity leave (in fact, she's due any day.. any hour now!). So on Tuesdays & Thursdays, I commute up to Durham, N.H. Really nice drive, and the landscape is beautiful up north.
Anyway, knowing full well that some of my students are bound to spot my geeky ass shooting photos, but I can't help it... not with little brooks like this running *through* the friggin' campus... and not with my handy Panny tilt setup in my pocket :lol:
This was with a Nikkor-O 35/2.

Miniature World is home to many miniature models, and while it is a tourist trap, it is a very interesting one.
This is a model railroad depicting Canada's transcontinental railroad - the reason why British Columbia had chosen to become part of Canada, rather than remaining with the UK or joining the US. This particular section portrays the double-corkscrew tunnels in Golden, British Columbia, that had made the previously very steep and dangerous journey between Vancouver and Calgary more manageable; other sections show major Canadian towns, from Vancouver all the way to Halifax, in 1885 or 1915 period appearance.
This photo is a milestone: it is my 4,000th Flickr upload.
