Finally I’ve finished this amazing project. I had the sudden urge to build something peaceful. My main goal was to build a diorama with more than two floors. After all it came out even bigger and even more beautiful than I imagined.
The model features:
- a tunnel under the plaza itself
- the ICC tower with 3 floors
- the ICC tower’s parking area
- stairs connecting all floors
- three M-66 Motorcycles, two stadard version one experimental version
- over 28 minifigures
I plan on uploading more photos of it during this week, one floor each day.
I hope you enjoy this project !

Kind of an awkward question.

Giordano Bruno. by Ettore Ferrari (1889). Campo dei Fiori, Rome.
Giordano Bruno (1548 – 17 February 1600) was an Italian Dominican friar, philosopher, mathematician, poet, and cosmological theorist. He is known for his cosmological theories, which conceptually extended the then-novel Copernican model. He proposed that the stars were just distant sun ssurrounded by their own exoplanets and raised the possibility that these planets could even foster life of their own (a philosophical position known as cosmic pluralism). He also insisted that the universe is in fact infinite and could have no celestial body at its "center".
Starting in 1593, Bruno was tried for heresy by the Roman Inquisition on charges of denial of several core Catholic doctrines, including eternal damnation, the Trinity, the divinity of Christ, the virginity of Mary, and transubstantiation. Bruno's pantheism was also a matter of grave concern, as was his teaching of the transmigration of the soul (reincarnation).
The Inquisition found him guilty, and he was burned at the stake in Rome's Campo de' Fiori in 1600. After his death, he gained considerable fame, being particularly celebrated by 19th- and early 20th-century commentators who regarded him as a martyr for science.

Estatua de Bruno en Campo dei Fiori, Roma. Obra de Ettore Ferrari (1889).
Giordano Bruno, (Nola, 1548 - Roma, 17 de febrero de 1600) fue un astrónomo, filósofo, matemático y poeta italiano.
Sus teorÃas cosmológicas superaron el modelo copernicano, pues propuso que el Sol era simplemente una estrella; que el universo habÃa de contener un infinito número de mundos habitados por animales y seres inteligentes. Miembro de la Orden de los Dominicos, propuso en el campo teológico una forma particular de panteÃsmo, lo cual diferÃa considerablemente de la visión cosmológica sostenida por la Iglesia católica.
Además de estos razonamientos, sus afirmaciones teológicas también fueron otra de las causas de su condena, que lo llevaron a ser ejecutado por las autoridades civiles de Roma después de que la Inquisición romana lo declarara culpable de herejÃa.
Fue quemado en la hoguera. Tras su muerte, su nombre ganó fama considerable, particularmente en el siglo XIX y principios del XX.

This is one of the best preserved A&P stores that I've found in a while. SuperFresh moved to a newer location 20 years ago to a newer shopping center on the north end of town.

Holywell, City of Oxford, Oxfordshire, England
English theologian, philosopher, and historian. Fellow of New College, Oxford. President of the Aristotelian Society. Canon of Hereford Cathedral and later dean of Carlisle. He was an English philosopher who expounded a theory known as ideal utilitarianism. He was the son of an Anglican priest, and was educated at Harrow and received a scholarship for New College, Oxford. After short tenures at St David's University College and University College, Durham, he was made a Fellow of New College, Oxford, and dedicates his main work, The Theory of Good and Evil, to the memory of his teachers Thomas Hill Green and Henry Sidgwick. The dedication is appropriate, for the particular version of utilitarianism put forward by his owes elements to both Green and Sidgwick. Whereas he holds that the concepts of good and value are logically prior to that of right, he gives right a more than instrumental significance. His idea of good owes more to Green than to the hedonistic utilitarians. "The ideal of human life is not the mere juxtaposition of distinct goods, but a whole in which each good is made different by the presence of others." He has been eclipsed as a moral philosopher by G. E. Moore, who advocated similar views in his earlier work Principia Ethica. His historical study, The Universities of Europe in the Middle Ages, was described in the introduction to its recent reprinting as "one of the first comparative works on the subject" whose "scope and breadth has assured its place as a key work in intellectual history." He finished his main work 'The Theory of Good and Evil' in 1907.

Michael Leunig: cartoonist, painter, philosopher, poet and creator of the gentle character of Mr Curly, left us on December 19, last year. One of my very favourite creative Australians.
I couldn't help smiling when I saw this character suspended on a broken stalk. I think Leunig would have found a place for it in his menagerie. He'd have to watch out for the Direction-finding Duck though!
Vale, Michael Leunig.
Big Bear: In these complicated times I have a recommendation! Hold on, keep your balance and enjoy the view!

I took philosophy in university, loved the course, Socrates was one of my favourites.

Dear friends and visitors, this is the last picture from Flores. Now comes Christmas and after i invite you to travel along with me to some ancient places and volcanos of Java. Thank you so much for following so far.
I wish everyone of you happy holidays and - if you celebrate it - a merry Christmas!
I wasn't planning on posting today, until I suddenly remembered having captured some fences after our visit to the museum last week. What a smile when I stumbled onto this image - one of many but one of a kind from that day. It immediately reminded me of the very mood of Philosopher's Walk.
HFF after all!
Grey Grey is my boy and he is a good model too, next to Puss Tabby.
Here is his philosopher portrait.
Wish you a great Thursday!
This is archive picture in 2014.
I love philosophy. I have a philosopher at home and that is my philosopher Grey.
One day Grey Grey gazed long time at the backyard and he said to me "Life is long." A moment later he said "Life is short."
The other day he said to me "Life is good and life is bad."
On the day I took his shot, he told me "You are what you shoot." Yes, I am a cat!
Happy philosophical Tuesday!

While walking around a park that I had newly discovered, I found this elderly gentleman. He was sitting on some rocks bordering the river, hunched over and intently writing something, while a group of fishermen chatted happily not too far in front of him. I could see that he was an observer of the Jewish faith and, as this was taken on a Saturday (the Sabbath), I presume that he was engaged in some religious reflection.
The shot might have been interesting with everything visible, but I knew that the lighting would make that difficult. I figured that a silhouette shot might work nicely here. Exposure metering was locked on the water. The only thing that I would redo about this shot would be to close down the aperture - the shallow depth of field isn't really necessary when dealing with silhouettes, in my opinion.

Here under the high whirling ceiling fans and in the environs of these fading mildew covered brown walls sit tragic young writers, Marxists, philosophers, students, economists and now IT workers with puff-pastry egos; the air was thick with philosophical rantings as dense as the number on their glasses . More than any other coffeehouse, perhaps, the Kolkata's Coffee House exemplified the the Antelle attitude, a monument to the glory of Calcutta and its uplifting elixir, caffeine and the rich conversation it spewed.
