I made a 2025 Calendar: tinyurl.com/4zb8xery
Every month is a BW image I took this past year. Basically, every month is a new print hanging on your wall as well as getting a good overview of that month.
Excerpt from Guelph.ca:
The IODE Cross of Sacrifice is a memorial which was presented to the City of Guelph by the Victoria-Guelph Chapter of the Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire in June of 1925. It was erected to commemorate those who died while serving during World War I and was dedicated by the local Chapter of the I.O.D.E. on land originally owned by Canadian National Railways. The cross now honours victims of both wars, the Korean War and peacekeeping missions.
The tall granite cross which holds a bronze crusader’s sword stands west of Guelph Central Station at the southeast corner of Carden and Wyndham Streets, near the historic Guelph Armoury.
To this day, individuals gather at the cross every November 11 to lay wreaths in remembrance of those who have given their lives in military service to the country.
The Cross of Sacrifice is a Commonwealth war memorial designed in 1918 by Sir Reginald Blomfield for the Imperial War Graves Commission (now the Commonwealth War Graves Commission). It is frequently found in Commonwealth war cemeteries containing 40 or more graves. Its shape is an elongated Latin cross with a bronze longsword, blade down, affixed to the front of the cross. It is mounted on an octagonal base.
This young eagle upstart was brave enough to try nabbing a few bites of, if my memory serves me right, a bison carcass mostly submerged in the ice. There's that whole idea of experience keeping us from bad decisions yet only being gained by questionable decisions… Well, this eagle was about to learn one of those life lessons. The ravens kept pecking at its heels every time it tried to get into the tasty meat. After five or six tries in the windy conditions, the eagle ended up giving up and leaving the ravens to their prize.
I love painting with water colours. I love tearing paper. I love looking at torn paper. I love re-arranging things. I love the space between things. I love looking at harmoniously arranged things. I love the infinite possibilities of placing things in time and space.
I fear the moment of decision. When infinity seems to end. By my hand. As if. What a silly thought. May this piece be a reminder.

" I tried to find what Order is. I was excited about it, and I wrote many, many words of what Order is. Every time I wrote something, I felt it wasn't quite enough. If I had covered, say, two thousand pages with just words of what Order is, I would not be satisfied with this statement. And then I stopped by not saying what it is, just saying, "Order is." And somehow I wasn't sure if was complete until I asked somebody, ad the person I asked said, "You must stop right there. It's marvelous; just stop there, saying, 'Order is.' "

Planet - Felucia
================
CC - 7131, Station Log
/\/\ Log Entry /\/\
Sector 3
Jedi Master Evensan, along with Master Secura, have been transported to the planet Felucia in order to stop a Separatist plot to capture the surface for a staging ground.
Myself and my battalion have been tasked with surveillance of the edge of the Republic's landing zone. Master Evensan, though this bores him, has volunteered to join us for the company.
So far all is quiet, but vigilance is required. The Separatists could attack at any moment...
/\/\ End Log /\/\
CC - 7131: "General! Droids spotted in sector 4!"
The Jedi's lightsaber blades ignited, with a glow of blue illuminating the platform beneath his feet.
CC - 7131 and his men began firing at the droids, unaware that another squadron of B1 droids had already reached the bottom of the platform the clones were standing on. They began scaling the supports of the platform, unknown to the clone troopers.
The first droids made their way onto the platform, surprising a few troopers, which killed them in the process.
CC - 7131: "Droids on the platform! Squad, tighten formation!"
The clones formed up, taking out the droids on the platform as they did so. One trooper threw thermal detonators into the midst of the droids attacking the platform on foot, creating a blast of flame and metal body parts. With the droids on the ground handled, Master Evansan directed his attention to the droids on the platform, finishing them off with the help of his men.
CC - 7131: "Enemy neutralized, General Evansan."
Evansan: "Indeed, though I sense our battle is not yet over. There is a great darkness approaching, I can feel it in the Force. There are dark times ahead of us all."
CC - 7131: "Whatever it is, sir, we can handle it...together."
Evansan put a hand on his captain's shoulder.
Evansan: "I know we can, Ray. You've never let me down. I'm going to go report our status to Master Secura."
CC - 7131 (Ray): "Very good, sir."
As Evansan began to walk away, Ray's holoprojector beeped, signaling an incoming transmission. Ray took the 'projector off his belt, and turned it on to receive the message. He was surprised to see Chancellor Palpatine appear in hologram form before him.
Palpatine: "Captain Ray. It is finally time. Execute Order 66 immediately. Ever Jedi is a traitor to the Republic, and must die."
Good soldiers follow orders, Ray heard him say in his head.
CC - 7131 (Ray): "Yes, my Lord. It will be done."
And so it was. Captain Ray of the Grand Army of the Republic turned his weapon on Jedi Master Evansan, and pulled the trigger.

Hello there! This is my "application" build to join the Dark Times group. I've been wanting to build a little Order 66 vignette for a while, so this was a perfect opportunity once I heard about this awesome group of builders.
I chose to do Felucia, which I don't think is done too often. I tried to make it very different from other Felucia MOC's. Usually there is a ton of more growth, but I decided to thin it out a bit, as if the Republic recently built their little outpost.
Let me know what you think, both of the build and story! :)
May the Force of others be with you!

Through the creations that I build, I hope to inspire other young (or perhaps older) LEGO builders to unleash their inner creativity. We all need a positive way to express ourselves, so let's let LEGO be an extension of us. Your creativity belongs to you, and nobody can take that away. Build what you want to build, and how you want to build it.
The new order for East Coast Main Line express services in the form of 254011 (43076/77) heads south through Newark Northgate, 13th May 1978. Six days earlier on the 8th May 1978 the summer timetable commenced and signalled the start of HST operation on the East Coast Main Line when six HST diagrams were introduced. The first twenty HST sets built for the East Coast Main Line (Class 254) were built with the luxury of two catering vehicles which if you look closely are the 3rd vehicle, Trailer Restaurant Unclassified Kitchen (TRUK) and the sixth vehicle Trailer Restaurant Second Buffet (TRSB). This luxury of two catering vehicles did not last for many years and the HST catering fleet has undergone many rebuilds over the years.

For three standard years, Cascade Company had been fighting against the separatists on the plant Kothlis. One side would push forward as the other retaliated with the same force. From freeing up other planets, we could eventually call out to other groups like the 438th battalion for support, out-matching the droids, and winning us the three year battle. Lieutenant Dyre, Captain Nilo and I were on board our republic cruiser The Collaborator, When we all received a transmission from the chancellor himself. He told us our orders, it meant the Jedi had betrayed us and were now all enemies of the Galactic Republic. Standing only a few meters away was our jedi general Kyde K’ban, we new what we had to do, and we would do it without fail. It was time to execute Order 66.
It's hard to imagine that three days ago, freezing rain was enveloping everything - bringing down trees and power lines - or that tonight we are under a heavy rainfall warning, which may even include thunderstorms.
Late this afternoon, at least, the sun was shining, the temperature climbed up to 16 Celsius, and the waiter had a rush order of beer on a patio at the Blue Mountain Ski Resort.
Moraine Lake has to be one of the most beautiful sights I've ever seen in my life so far. It was photos of this lake that first inspired me to want to travel to the Canadian Rockies, and now I can say I've been there twice! It's one of my favorite places in the world.

I’m trying to do different things with my outdoor/landscape/scenery photography. I typically love to shoot as wide as possible to include as much into one shot as I can. But some of earth’s beauty is small and we walk over it in order to see the bigger picture. Sometimes we need to just look at everything and realize that the best photos in the world are not those that show us everything, but enough to let our minds make our own discoveries.
What do you see here?
Santa Maria sopra Minerva is one of the major churches of the Order of Preachers (also known as the Dominicans) in Rome, Italy. The church's name derives from the fact that the first Christian church structure on the site was built directly over (Italian: sopra) the ruins or foundations of a temple dedicated to the Egyptian goddess Isis, which had been erroneously ascribed to the Greco-Roman goddess Minerva (possibly due to interpretatio romana).
The church is located in Piazza della Minerva one block east the Pantheon in the Pigna rione of Rome within the ancient district known as the Campus Martius. The present church and disposition of surrounding structures is visible in a detail from the Nolli Map of 1748.
While many other medieval churches in Rome have been given Baroque makeovers that cover Gothic structures, the Minerva is the only extant example of original Gothic architecture church building in Rome. Behind a restrained Renaissance style façade the Gothic interior features arched vaulting that was painted blue with gilded stars and trimmed with brilliant red ribbing in a 19th-century Neo-Gothic restoration.
The church and adjoining convent served at various times throughout its history as the Dominican Order's headquarters. Today the headquarters have been re-established in their original location at the Roman convent of Santa Sabina. The titulus of Sanctae Mariae supra Minervam was conferred upon Cardinal António Marto, on 28 June 2018.
In Roman times there were three temples in what is now the area surrounding the basilica and former convent buildings: the Minervium, built by Gnaeus Pompey in honour of the goddess Minerva about 50 BC, referred to as Delubrum Minervae; the Iseum dedicated to Isis, and the Serapeum dedicated to Serapis. Details of the temple to Minerva are not known but recent investigations indicate that a small round Minervium once stood a little further to the east on the Piazza of the Collegio Romano. In 1665 an Egyptian obelisk was found, buried in the garden of the Dominican cloister adjacent to the church. Several other small obelisks were found at different times near the church, known as the Obelisci Isei Campensis, which were probably brought to Rome during the 1st century and grouped in pairs, with others, at the entrances of the temple of Isis. There are other Roman survivals in the crypt.
The ruined temple is likely to have lasted until the reign of Pope Zachary (741-752), who finally Christianized the site, offering it to Basilian nuns from Constantinople who maintained an oratorium there dedicated to the "Virgin of Minervum". The structure he commissioned has disappeared.
In 1255 Pope Alexander IV established a community of converted women on the site. A decade later this community was transferred to the Roman Church of San Pancrazio thereby allowing the Dominicans to establish a convent of friars and a studium conventuale there. The Friars were on site beginning in 1266 but took official possession of the Church in 1275. Aldobrandino Cavalcanti (1279), vicarius Urbis or vicar for Pope Gregory X, and an associate of Thomas Aquinas ratified the donation of Santa Maria sopra Minerva to the Dominicans of Santa Sabina by the sisters of S. Maria in Campo Marzio. The ensemble of buildings that formed around the church and convent came to be known as the insula sapientae or insula dominicana (island of wisdom or Dominican island).
The Dominicans began building the present Gothic church in 1280 modelling it on their church in Florence Santa Maria Novella. Architectural plans were probably drawn up during the pontificate of Nicholas III by two Dominican friars, Fra Sisto Fiorentino and Fra Ristoro da Campi. With the help of funds contributed by Boniface VIII and the faithful the side aisles were completed in the 14th century.
In 1453 church interior construction was finally completed when Cardinal Juan Torquemada ordered that the main nave be covered by a vault that reduced the overall projected height of the church. In the same year of 1453 Count Francesco Orsini sponsored the construction of the façade at his own expense. However work on the façade remained incomplete until 1725 when it was finally finished by order of Pope Benedict XIII.
In 1431, the Church and the adjacent Convent of the Dominicans was the site of a Papal conclave. The city of Rome was in an uproar upon the death of Pope Martin V (Colonna), whose family had dominated Roman political life for fifteen years, and enriched themselves on the wealth of the Church. There was fighting in the streets on a daily basis, and the Plaza in front of the Minerva, because of the configuration of streets, houses, church and monastery, could easily be fortified and defended. The Sacristy of the Church served as the meeting hall for the fourteen cardinals (out of nineteen) who attended the Conclave, which began on 1 March 1431. The dormitory of the friars in the Convent to the immediate north of the Church, served as the living quarters for the cardinals and their refectory and kitchen. On 3 March they elected Cardinal Gabriele Condulmaro, who took the name Eugenius IV. A second Conclave was held at the Minerva, on 4–6 March 1447, following the death of Pope Eugenius, once again in the midst of disturbances involving the Orsini supporters of Pope Eugenius and his enemies the Colonna. Eighteen cardinals (out of a total of twenty-six) were present and elected Cardinal Tommaso Parentucelli da Sarzana as Pope Nicholas V.
The Minerva has been a titular church since 1557, and a minor basilica since 1566. The church's first titular cardinal was Michele Ghislieri who became Pope Pius V in 1566. He raised the church to the level of minor basilica in that same year.
In the 16th century Giuliano da Sangallo made changes in the choir area, and in 1600 Carlo Maderno enlarged the apse, added Baroque decorations and created the present façade with its pilastered tripartite division in Renaissance style. Marks on this façade dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries indicate various flood levels of the Tiber 65 feet.
Between 1848 and 1855 Girolamo Bianchedi directed an important program of restoration when most of the Baroque additions were removed and the blank walls were covered with neo-gothic frescos giving the interior the Neo-Gothic appearance that it has today.
The basilica's stained glass windows are mostly from the 19th century. In 1909, the great organ was constructed by the firm of Carlo Vegezzi Bossi. The organ was restored in 1999.
The inscriptions found in S. Maria sopra Minerva have been collected and published by Vincenzo Forcella.
Excerpt from facebook.com:
Križanke Church - In the 13th century, the Order of Teutonic Knights, settled at the upper end of the Novi trg square and built a church there. The only surviving item from the church is the famous relief of the Madonna of Krakovo from the church's main portal. The relief, created between 1265 and 1270, is now kept at the National Gallery of Slovenia.
The present Križanke Church was built between 1714 and 1715 by Domenico Rossi, one of the leading Venetian architects of the time. This indicates that the only church of the cross located on Slovenian territory was of great importance not only to the Knights of the Cross but also to the imperial court in Vienna, which donated interior furnishings. Side altars were painted by the court painters Martin Altomonte and Anton Schoonjans. The main altar painting, a work by Johann Michael Rottmayr which burnt down in the 19th century, was replaced by a painting by the Viennese painter Hans Canon in 1859.

With only a couple of weeks left in service before the May timetable change, the class 313 was given its fairwell swan song before they are withdrawn.
In the distance you can see Stone Cross Windmill which was fully restored into working order back in the early 2000’s.

"Would you be quiet? This is a secret mission. Do you understand that?"
Revamp of the no-nonsense Order of Mata-Nui member who was a combiner model in 2008. Adjusted the color scheme and gave him some more personality and character while also leaning into the demon aesthetic from his original horns.
Back in 2020 I challenged myself to get back into the hobby and build a MOC a month. This was the eleventh build I finished.
Had the idea for this guy for a while and really felt like using a Miru Nuva for him for some reason. Happened to be finishing him around the time of the Karda-Nui collabs so I took a lot of inspiration from those with the characterization. Also want to mention Brick_Diamonds' Nuparu Inika revamp as a huge inspiration for the posing!

The helmet crest (maidate) has gilt-copper moon flanked by rising silver waves.The shoulder guards (sode) are decorated in gold lacquer with the image of a rabbit springing from seafoam,possibly a reference to Chikubushima,a popular Noh play.
3.(center) Armor (Yoroi),18th century, iron lacquer leather silk
During the eighteenth century,there was a revival of interest in medieval Japanese culture.As a demand for historical styles of armor began to,increase among the wealthy lords,contemporary armorers studied the older forms and techniques in order to duplicate them.The example imitates a yoroi of the twelfth to thirteenth century.It is characterized by a helmet with prominent rivet heads and a wide,flaring neck guard and by a large cuirass with a separate panel on the right side,large square shoulder guards,and a deep four-sided skirt.

There have been sporadic outings of the new Fastrack IE's over the past week or so, but Tuesday 29th April 2025 I believe was the first time that numerous examples were used in public service. Route A was the chosen route and despite not having any charging facilities at either end, it does pass the depot so examples were generally replaced after two or so rounders to "top up".
It all started at around 09:00 when IE32 LJ25 BSV was sent out this being replaced by IE33 LJ25 BSX and then itself by IE30 LJ25 BSO. The latter two then rotated through out the remainder of the day.
Seen here is Go-Ahead IE33 LJ25 BSX turning at Greenhithe Station whilst working Fastrack route A. Tuesday 29th April 2025.

Hurrying to a sunrise location while it was still dark my D810 was mounted on the tripod and I was carrying it cross body in front of me. I stumbled and took a face plant landing on my D500 that was attached to the Cotton Carrier vest. I landed hard really hard but the sun was ready to light the sky so I did what any respectable photographer would do, I got up dusted myself off and continued to the spot I'd scouted the previous day. It wasn't until I finished shooting sunrise that I looked down and saw the damage to the camera. First thing I did was take a few shots to check if everything was in working order thankfully it was.
Once home from camp I Googled the problem and discovered through the magic of YouTube the repair was something I could do and the part is very affordable. It took me until now to order the part which is sitting in the office waiting to replace the ome.
Nikon takes a lickin' and so do I but we are still going.
Happy Monday!
UPDATE: Today I replaced the broken window once again I can view my settings.
