Capture taken on yesterdays ride mith my Seven in local area. Had been lucky with still nice temperatures and great sun down with clouds around. Had my tripod with me to take some long exposures...too bad the Season has come to an end, but as typical, some winter projects plans are waiting...have a good Sunday!
The Ruinenberg in Potsdam is a park with a viewing terrace located on a man-made hill. The park is part of the Sanssouci Park and offers a spectacular view of the city of Potsdam and its surroundings.
The Ruinenberg was part of a larger landscape park project planned by the Prussian King Frederick William IV in the 19th century. This project included the creation of a series of landscape park complexes in and around Potsdam, which are now part of the World Heritage Site.
Brim, Victoria. ABC1 Weather
Brisbane street artist, Guido Van Helten, painted these four characters on the old wheat silos near the small village of Brim in Victoria's Wimmera region. They stand nearly 30 metres tall and represent characters found in such farming communities. They have become a real tourist attraction in the region with Aboriginal people represented on the silos at nearby Sheep Hills and a local farmer on a silo at Patchewollock to the north. The local shire, the Shire of Yarriambiack, has two more silo art projects planned at Rupanyup and Lascelles. All in all these will be a significant tourist attraction to a part of rural Australia that has seen hard times in recent years with drought and the vagaries of wheat and wool prices.

In the middle of the Latvian countryside is an unusual structure bound to pique the curiosity of anyone who happens upon it. The “Bridge to Nowhere,” is a narrow-gauge railway bridge leading nowhere at all, surrounded on both ends by nothing but a lush green meadow.
The concrete span across the Abava River, just 180 feet long (55 meters), was built in 1940, intended to be part of the new Tukums-Kuldiga rail line that was under construction. It was one of a number of ambitious projects planned by the newly independent and quickly developing republic of Latvia. Then World War II broke out.
With the nation at war, the railway line was never finished. The high costs of civil engineering and construction are a major consideration in building any railroad. As these activities require specialized equipment and personnel, it is not uncommon to have these portions of a project completed ahead of the general track laying.
The abandoned bridge still stands intact, a strange sight in the Irlavas village, near Sāti. To many locals, the lonely Bridge to Nowhere also represents a wartime memorial of sorts. It commemorates the failed effort made by the Germans to continue the bridge during the Nazi occupation of Latvia in the early 1940s. The unique structure may serve no practical purpose, but it belongs to Latvia alone.
The boards in the grass in front are from the roof that slid off from the red barn years ago. I read once that this family farm was turned over to the government when the last family member left in the 90's. The land was included in a dam/reservoir project plan that never was completed. It all became part of a large park along the Delaware River instead.
The village of Krutets, located 16 kilometers southeast of the city of Konakovo, has long been known as the village of Negodyaevo, Danilovskaya volost, Korchevsky district. In the first half of the 17th century, it was the patrimony of Orshin Savvatievsky monastery.
In 1719, a wooden church was built here (instead of the previous one) in the name of Nicholas the Wonderworker with the chapel of Sergius of Radonezh.
A stone three-altar church has survived to this day, built according to the charter of the temple of 1822 with the blessing of the Right Reverend Jonah, with church funds, with the help of parishioners. The project (plan with a facade) for the construction of the temple was redone by the provincial architect Legrand. During the construction, which was carried out until 1828, a wooden church functioned, by that time dilapidated, but covered with a timber in 1817. Subsequently, in 1840 it was abolished "due to dilapidation", and on August 1, 1841 it burned down in a fire.
In 1829, the right side-altar of the refectory was consecrated - in the name of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker, a year later - another side-altar in the name of Saint Sergius of Radonezh, the Wonderworker, they were consecrated by the archpriest of the city of Korcheva, John Alekseev Khokhlov. The main altar - in the cold church - in the name of the Life-Giving Trinity with the blessing of Archbishop Gregory was consecrated in 1841 by the Korchev archpriest Theodor Yakovlev Ershov.
The oil painting of the temple was made in 1859, and the refectory - in 1860. Soon a stone fence appeared (instead of the previous one, made of spruce wood) with a gate, the ruins of which can be seen even now. The parish, as of the second half of the 19th century, consisted of 310 households in the village of Negodyaevo and the villages of Tarlakovo, Ruchyi, Peigne - peasants of the Department of the Chamber of State Property.
In the mid-1910s, permission was obtained to arrange new iconostases in the side-altars, to repair the floors (in the main church, arrange a tiled floor, in the side-altars - wooden), to repair the ovens and to wash the wall paintings and icons throughout the church. The work was carried out at the expense and current income of the church, on special donations of parishioners and individuals, personal donations of the church elder, and were performed by the craftsmen "in good faith and in the best possible way" by 1916.
It is known that the church operated until 1937. Archpriest Vasily Andreevich Lebedev, who was arrested in November of the same year, served in the church.
Today Trinity Church is an architectural monument of the first half of the 19th century, built in the provincial Empire style. Its composition includes: the temple itself (which looks like a high illuminated rotunda on a quadrangle) with an apse, a refectory with side-chapels and a three-tiered bell tower, crowned with a spire, built by the dependents of the parishioners in 1828.

Final image share from my solo exhibition at Axis in Seattle. This one pertains directly to my short film which goes by the same title. Filming was such a rewarding, challenging, and entirely new experience. Definitely excited to do more of it.
Some of my original works from the solo are still available, so if you're interested in any of the pieces from my series, Árísan, please feel free to send me an e-mail at kindra.nikole@gmail.com. Each piece is printed on archival giclee paper, mounted to wood panel, and glazed with lustrous resin. I can send along detail shots of the physical pieces upon request.
I'm working hard to sell off the originals from the show (all of which are one of a kind and not to be reproduced again!), and am planning a timed print release soon, all in the hopes of saving up enough funds to make a trip to Iceland in June. Should I meet my goal to travel there, I've got some really fun, exciting projects planned! <3
This picture is #16 in my second 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page
See my first set here: Bomvu's 100 Strangers"
I hadn't planned on shooting strangers today but come lunch time it was a beautiful day and I'd had a mad busy morning and needed some air. I had my camera with me as I had another project planned for after work so decided to take a walk.
I'm still really keen on trying to capture 'style' pictures and while walking along a street where there was harsh direct sun passed this gorgeous girl who looked fab. But the light was wrong, the street was busy and it didn't seem right. So I kept on walking, took a right and walked down another street that looked slightly more promising light wise. I then came to a spot where the sun was filling in off of an office block and thought it would make a good setting. So I stopped to look around and who did I see walking down the same road and coming my way but the same girl that had caught my eye earlier.
Well my luck was in because Sophie was happy to pose for me so I got to work.
I've chosen another diptych, partly because I'm starting to like them and partly because I had trouble deciding between the two pictures.
The one on the right was the first one and Sophie hit this pose without direction. The one on the left was after I suggested another pose though she didn't take much prompting. Clearly this lady has style.
I really love the simple cut and colouring of her dress, it is simple, elegant and makes her look fantastic.
Sophie's a student in the area though I didn't ask for any more detail than that. I didn't want to take up too much of her time and I had the pictures that I wanted.
Thanks so much Sophie for giving me your time today. I hope you like your picture as much as I do. Please get in touch if you'd like a high res copy of either picture or of the full diptych.

The Helix Bridge, previously known as the Double Helix Bridge, is a pedestrian bridge linking Marina Centre with Marina South in the Marina Bay area in Singapore. It was officially opened on April 24, 2010. It is located beside the Benjamin Sheares Bridge and is accompanied by a vehicular bridge, known as the Bayfront Bridge.
The bridge complements other major development projects planned in the area, including the highly-anticipated Integrated Resort Marina Bay Sands, Singapore Flyer, Gardens by the Bay and the 438,000 m² business and financial centre which will be ready by 2012.
The design consortium is an international team comprising Australian architects the Cox Group and engineers Arup, and Singapore based Architects 61. The bridge is expected to be a focal point for the community, linking cultural, recreational and entertainment facilities in the area and complements the overall pedestrian scheme of Marina Bay. The bridge also functions as a gallery where childrens' paintings and drawings are exhibited for public viewing.
Canopies (made of fritted-glass and perforated steel mesh) are incorporated along parts of the inner spiral to provide shade for pedestrians. The bridge has five viewing platforms sited at strategic locations which provide stunning views of the Singapore skyline and events taking place within Marina Bay. At night, the bridge will be illuminated by a series of lights that highlight the double-helix structure, thereby creating a special visual experience for the visitors.
The Land Transport Authority claims it is a world's first in architectural & engineering bridge design.

Close Up of my hPDA DIY Planner Agenda Cards. I also have a couple Project Planning Cards here on my Levenger Card Bleachers.
I am sooo sorry I have gone quiet.
It was such a hectic summer, well what ever can be called summer ... at least here :)
I have several comissions and all is very exciting... although I'm not yet allowed to publish anything, I'm currently documanting an arts project.
Planned is also to start a new series: the one m recommends. I found so many new places, things, people I'd like to share.
Bare with me my friends... hold on tight...

The Clyde Arc (known locally as the Squinty Bridge), is a road bridge spanning the River Clyde in Glasgow, in west central Scotland, connecting Finnieston, near the Clyde Auditorium and SEC with Pacific Quay and Glasgow Science Centre in Govan. A prominent feature of the bridge is its innovative curved design and the way that it crosses the river at an angle. The Arc is the first city centre traffic crossing over the river built since the Kingston Bridge was opened to traffic in 1969.
The bridge was named the "Clyde Arc" upon its official opening on 18 September 2006. It has been previously known as the "Finnieston Bridge" and the "Squinty Bridge".
The Clyde Arc (known locally as the Squinty Bridge), is a road bridge spanning the River Clyde in Glasgow, in west central Scotland, connecting Finnieston, near the Clyde Auditorium and SEC with Pacific Quay and Glasgow Science Centre in Govan. A prominent feature of the bridge is its innovative curved design and the way that it crosses the river at an angle. The Arc is the first city centre traffic crossing over the river built since the Kingston Bridge was opened to traffic in 1969.
The bridge was named the "Clyde Arc" upon its official opening on 18 September 2006. It has been previously known as the "Finnieston Bridge" or the "Squinty Bridge".
The bridge was designed by the Halcrow Group and built by Kilsyth-based civil engineering company Edmund Nuttall. Glasgow City Council instigated the project in conjunction with Scottish Enterprise and the Scottish Government. Piling works for the bridge were carried out from a large floating barge on the Clyde, whilst the bridge superstructure was fabricated offsite. The bridge-deck concrete-slab units were cast at an onsite pre-casting yard. Planning permission was granted in 2003 and construction of the bridge began in May 2005. It was structurally completed in April 2006. The bridge project cost an estimated £20.3M. The Bridge is designed to last 120 years.
The bridge has a main span of 96 m with two end spans of 36.5 m (total 169 m). The design of the main span features a steel arch. The supports for the main span are located within the river with the abutments located behind the existing quay walls. The central navigation height at mean water height is 5.4 m.
It was officially opened on 18 September 2006 by Glasgow City Council leader Steven Purcell, although pedestrians were allowed to walk across it the previous two days as part of Glasgow's annual "Doors Open" Weekend.
The bridge connects Finnieston Street on the north bank of the river to Govan Road on the southern bank. The bridge takes four lanes of traffic, two of which are dedicated to public transport and two for private and commercial traffic. There are also pedestrian and cycle paths. The new bridge was built to provide better access to Pacific Quay and allow better access to regeneration areas on both banks of the Clyde. The bridge has been designed to cope with a possible light rapid transit system (light railway scheme) or even a tram system.
The bridge is the first part of a massive development project planned to regenerate Glasgow. There are two more bridges planned – the £40M Tradeston Bridge and a further pedestrian bridge linking Springfield Quay with Lancefield Quay on the north bank. The canting basin and graving dock next to Pacific Quay are to be developed along with Tradeston and Laurieston.
Excerpt from Wikipedia:
On the south side of the Gundulic Square a monumental Baroque staircase leads to the Poljana Ruđera Boškovića where the Church of St Ignatius and Collegium Ragusinum, Dubrovnik's reputable Jesuit college, are located. This urban complex many find to be the most representative Baroque example in Dubrovnik and the whole Croatian coast.
Dissatisfied with numerous Italian scholars, Beccaddeli, the bishop of Dubrovnik, asked in 1555, to the newly founded Jesuit order to open a college in Dubrovnik. The idea was not realised until 1647 when the legacy of Marin Gundulić, a Jesuit from Dubrovnik, opened the door for the start of planning the project. In 1653, the Jesuit Rector Gianbattista Canauli made a project which was supposed to regulate the whole urban structure of the suburb in the oldest part of the City and provide space to build the Jesuit church and college. The project planned for demolishing a wide number of houses. The buy off had already started when the destruction of Great Earthquake of 1667 interrupted all work. The project had resumed at the close of the century, for which purpose, Iganzio Pozzo, renowned Jesuit architect and painter was called to the City in 1699. Pozzo had finalized the plans by 1703 and the construction of the church completed in 1725.
The Church of St Ignatius is single nave, with side chapels and a semicircular divided apse, decorated by magnificent Baroque frescoes with scenes from life of St. Ignatius de Loyola painted by Gaetano Garcia. The frescoes fit perfectly in the ambiance of the church and at first sight they are simply breathtaking.
The church belfry houses the oldest bell in Dubrovnik, cast in 1355 by Viventius and his son Viator.

Tomorrow I will want to take a picture to show the first day in just over a year that I dont actually have to, because every important and even tiny event for the last year has been documented. There were so many days when I'd have given a lot to just cheat and upload something another time but so often I dragged myself out of the house with my camera grumbling to myself. But I still did it, I still took a picture every single day for a year. I can look back and remember the important days, the boring ones, the brilliant and the terrible, I can remember a tiny portion of the emotions I felt when taking them. I can remember details of each day that I know would have been lost without this project.
I started out wanting to improve but somewhere along the way I gave up on posting an image I was proud of and decided to finish for another reason. All my life I've quit when things got hard. I avoided difficult situations and never kept going at anything. I'd always regret it afterwards. I can proudly say that this project was something that I kept at, even when it got really difficult, I didn't quit. When I complained about how I felt or something that had happened to me, people I didn't know offered advice and comfort even when the pictures I posted, quite franky, sucked. I can't thank them enough for their kindness.
I will not stop taking pictures, I probably never will, I love it too much. I have projects planned and ideas I never carried out. The pictures I do upload in future, I hope, will either be a lot more planned or a lot more spontaneous. I plan on using digital very rarely after this because I've never been much of a big fan. I think when I do shoot digital I'll start to use photoshop because throughout my 365 I've only been changing the colours and shadows, I need to work on my editing skills. But for now I'd like to take a break, just to regain a little bit of my life and breathe a sigh of relief at being able to upload what I like, when I like.
And now a paragraph that does no justice to how grateful I am. Thank you to every single person who has viewed, commented or favourited my work, you've complimented my work when I've despised it and been nothing but encouraging and more lovely than I deserve. Thank you to anyone who ever wrote me an email, be it chatty or complimentary and I sincerely apologise to those I forget to reply to, its inexcusable and I do often feel really guilty for not having/ making the time to reply. Thank you for every testimonial, they all brightened my days beyond words. Thank you to the friends I've made here, the ones who live all over the world and the ones who live close enough to now be friends in real life. Thank you to the people who let me take their pictures. Thank you to my friends who were (mostly) brilliantly understanding and helpful. Thank you to my family, without their total support this project would have been impossible.
And a few individual thank you's to Becca, Alexandra andRona. Who I'll thank personally soon. :)
Whether you are viewing my stream for the first time of youve been here since the beginning, thank you from the bottom of my (cheesy) heart.

What I ❤️ about spring is it's the reassurance of life renewing itself. Plants, animals and nature spring forward with life and new beginning. It makes me smile to know that even in these days God continues to let his glory shine down upon us, in many forms of life. Aprils showers and of course my birthday!
The Catedral de Morelia at night.
Its construction began in 1660 and completed in 1774 with project plans by Italian architect Vicencio Barroso Escayola.
The building pair of towers rising to a height of 66.8 meters, make them the fourth tallest in Mexico.
The cathedral is also home to a Churrigueresque pipe organ, with 4,600 flutes, manufactured in Germany in the early 20th century. Its sound quality is so impressive it is considered one of the best on the continent.
This is my OOAK doll and real big makeover.
When I saw the OOAK Erin of the Gloss Convention last year, and Inspired me to her be my OOAK project plan, finally I done it and show her now here.

Another shot from Clovelly last weekend. The colour had just started in the sky before first light and provided a counterpoint to the sodium lights above the pool. f/16 to bring out the lovely star rays.
Excellent history of the pool at
allintooceanpoolsinc.org/ocean-pools/the-geoff-james-pool...
The Clovelly ocean baths are within the promenade on the southern shore of Clovelly Bay that forms part of Sydney’s only concreted swimming beach. This rectangular 25-metre pool with marked lanes lies alongside the normally peaceful waters of Clovelly Bay (also known as Clovelly Pool).
Historical notes
1884: There were only two houses in this area north of Coogee
Early 1900s: Clovelly was still known as Little Coogee until around 1914.
The narrow entrance to the small beach set back about 300 metres from a natural breakwater was previously edged, both to the north and south, by rock platforms which extended from the beach out to the headlands. The ‘almost sharkproof’ Clovelly Bay was a popular site for mixed bathing, even though the Bay’s rocky shores made bathing hazardous.
1918: As one of Sydney’s ‘new suburbs’, Clovelly contributed to major population growth in the municipality of Randwick.
1922: The Clovelly Surf Lifesaving Club was built. As the entrance to Clovelly Bay could become dangerous in high seas, the Clovelly Surf Life Saving Club was seen as performing an important service for people who got into difficulties on what seemed a safe beach.
1929: Randwick Council won a 2,500 pound grant from the NSW Government to build a breakwater and the promenades as a ‘measure of relieving unemployment’.
1930s: Randwick Council announced plans to build an Olympic swimming pool and a sea wall using gangs of unemployed labour. Attempts were made to construct a breakwater across the mouth of the bay. The project plans were modified after winter storms washed away most of this sea wall, leaving behind a protective rocky reef now visible only at low tide.
1954: The Clovelly Eskimos Winter Swimming Club (also known as the Eskies) was founded by Clovelly surf club members looking for a way to keep active in the winter months. They used Clovelly Bay as their swimming pool. The Eskimos were the fourth ‘official’ winter swimming club following the formation of the Bronte Splashers, the Bondi Icebergs and the Coogee Penguins,.
1962: As acknowledged by a plaque at the pool, Geoff James of the Clovelly surf club proposed the building of a concrete swimming pool. One of the most compelling arguments for the creation of this pool was that its presence meant Randwick Council needed less concrete for the promenade.
1991: Residents claimed the Council was neglecting the basic requirements of the pool and its many users. About 150 Clovelly residents petitioned Randwick City Council about the Clovelly Beach Pool, which had stood empty for five weeks because the pump was not operating. They wanted the pool normally used for swimming lessons each Saturday and for events staged by the Clovelly Amateur Swimming Club to be thoroughly cleaned, a new pump installed and to receive regular maintenance and written reports about the pool from Council.
1994: The National Trust classified this 25-metre by 6-metre pool and listed it on its heritage register.
2000: As part of its State of the Environment (SOE) report, Randwick City Council reported on water monitoring in the Clovelly rock pool.
2001: Randwick City Council refurbished the baths.
2002: Randwick Council named the pool after Geoff James, past president and life member of the Clovelly surf club.
The Clovelly Eskimos winter swimming club had about 125 members, most of whom were in their forties or older.
2003: Real estate agents said the charms of the swimming baths and snorkelling round the bay helps to attract families with children to Clovelly. Images of the swimming pool’s marked lanes appear in the real estate advertisements for units at Clovelly Beach.

GP10 8317 leads a 73 car GV-1 past C&A tower on its way to St Louis. See that goofy looking signal? That was a train order signal that the ICG put in. They had a big track project planed for the summer and wanted the operators at the tower to handle train orders for reverse main running. We were B&O ops, of course, so we had to go to Glenn Yard for rules classes. So, the regular operators and the entire extra board went for classes. They gave us ICG rule books, and a book to explain the rule book, which gives you an idea of how convoluted the book was. I still have both books. Anyway, after all that work and classes, ICG cancelled the work project....so all of that was for nothing.

This marina restoration is part of a much larger ecological project being done in an area of Upstate NY that hosts a huge variety of migrating birds. The entire project will help humans and nature by providing more food and habitat for our local and migrating wildlife, while also providing a better marina for the boaters. I am hopeful that this will be a positive change for our wildlife, but honestly, I always worry when mankind attempts to "improve" nature. Time will tell.
"Over 100 acres of coastal wetlands have been eroded from Braddock Bay since the loss of the spits of land that extended partially across the bay mouth in the early 1900s. In addition, extensive emergent wetlands have become dominated by the aggressive cattail species (Typha angustifolia and Typha x glauca). These alterations have substantially reduced the suitability of Braddock Bay habitat for many fish and wildlife
species such as the state endangered black tern (Chlidonias niger) and the northern pike (Esox lucius). The goal of this project is to protect and restore the suitability of Braddock Bay for these and many other fish and wildlife species."

I'd like to have your opinion on the work done. !!!!!!!
Constructed in the 1830s, for decades the Elora Mill was a powerful and prominent grist mill.
More recently it housed the Elora Mill Inn – a popular restaurant, banquet hall and venue for weddings, but it has sat vacant for the last four years. But its last incarnation is nothing compared to what’s in store for the mill when it reopens under new ownership hopefully in 2016.
An old industrial brownfield on the opposite side of the river is also part of the project. Plans are to turn that site into a complex featuring a conference centre, wedding chapel, hotel and other amenities.
A covered bridge will be built to connect the two sites. This will all be a very welcome addition to this very picturesque town.
Thank you, my kind Flickr friends, for visiting my site and taking the time to leave a comment. Truly appreciated!
Palazzo Mezzanotte was built in 1932 to centralise all the market trading places which were spread allover Milan. The new Stock Exchange building fits in a complex urban project planned by the Architect Paolo Mezzanotte. It became an architectural symbol of Fascism. The original structure still maintains its impressive façade of 36 meters. The travertine blocks are combined with allegoric figures symbolising wealth and abundance designed by Leone Lodi e Gemignano Cibau. The sides of the building are adorned with a series of bricks and travertine blocks and an inscription plaque of marble stands out. It represents the Roman Ruins which were discovered during the excavation phase. The final result was a triumph of rationalism which also encompasses classical elements.
Palazzo Mezzanotte был построен в 1932 году, чтобы централизовать все рыночные торговые места, которые были распространены по всему Милану. Новое здание Биржи вписывается в комплексный городской проект, разработанный архитектором Паоло Мезанотте. Он стал архитектурным символом фашизма. Оригинальное сооружение до сих пор сохраняет свой впечатляющий фасад в 36 метров. Травертиновые блоки сочетаются с аллегорическими фигурами, символизирующими богатство и изобилие, разработанными Leone Lodi и Gemignano Cibau. Боковые стены здания украшены серией кирпичей и блоков травертина, а над ними возвышается надписная доска из мрамора. Он представляет собой римские руины, которые были обнаружены во время этапа раскопок. Конечным результатом стал триумф рационализма, который также включает в себя классические элементы.
Another year, another 365 and another 100.
More about me for the weekly theme of Introducing...
This is my 8th 365. I very much struggled with 2020 but didn't we all. For me it was the pressures of work in the NHS (no lockdown for me!) as well as 6 young people living back at home from March to September, and then going into the worsening crisis that we are now in. My mother also has severe dementia and is in a care home many miles away. I have not seen her since last Christmas; fortunately she has no idea what day it is, or who people are.
I have hated the whole Brexit thing. I still do. I consider myself European, not some small islander, and that's not going to change even now that a Brexit deal has been achieved.
I also have 4 kids aged 17 - 22 years with 3 away at Uni (at the moment!). They often crop up as they help out with pictures.
This year, i hope to spend more time with the Flickr community and more time on taking photos. There are lots of old friends joining the 365 and 100 groups with some great projects planned
I really hope that this year we can travel, have holidays and most of all attend live music gigs and festivals. There are lots rolled over and planned; fingers will be firmly crossed.
I am one vaccine dose down, and i'll be first in line for a 'vaccine passport' if it enables us all to do the above.
This is also for We're Here - we are visiting stripes today! I knitted the hat and also have matching mittens!!
this is taken with the portrait mode on the phone - it does a good job of smoothing out my wrinkles.

I was planning a mosaic made from lots of little mosaics when the Make 5 offers came up. I decided to make two of everything and send "little pieces of me" for my gifts. So the first 15 I have made, have twins- some identical, some similar. There will be many more to come, and I have a few other trio projects planned that developed while I was making these.
I am happy to say all have arrived to their new homes, but there was a casualty with Elsbeth's- the white heart cockle shell has broken, so I am sending a replacement shell. I actually had planned on sending a spare to Inge and Elsbeth just in case of casualty- but was so busy tearing my house apart looking for D-rings I forgot.
Anyhoo- I am pleased my recipients like their gifts. It really was a challenge for me to make them- equal parts of joy and challenge I think.
Hello, it's me. It's been awhile. A long while. I've had a lout of time to this this month about my life. And I've come to the conclusion that there isn't enough joy in my life. I found that when I was doing my photography project for myself is when I was experiencing the most self joy, where as now that I am not doing them. All I am doing is school and work, day in and out. And because I've been working so hard for my future I've neglected myself in the present.
I didn't plan on uploading this here. But here I am. Uploading it anyway. I'm really undecided now on what I truly want for myself. I still have a lot of thinking left to do. I don't plan on making any hasty decisions. But I do have a new photography project planed which makes me happy. In the new year I just want to shoot a roll of film a moths just for fun. No pressure. No rules. Just fun.
I also want to try and be more active online. I have this weird irrational fear of the internet. Which is why I don't have a Facebook page or website. And for the longest time I didn't use my Instagram. We'll see how that goes. Honestly have no idea where to start. I've been a little out of touch here as well.
Sorry for me dropping of the face of the earth after my last project. Didn't think I would take this long of a hiatus. I guess I just wanted to say I'm not dead. And I did work really hard in school this last semester and got amazing grades. Things are going well. Hope things are going well for you guys. I'll try and uploaded something else before the year is over. We'll see how it goes.

Sagrada Familia in Ice is a project planned by master students from Eindhoven University of Technology using inflatable membranes and spraying them with Pykrete, a mix of ice and sawdust, where the latter acts as reinforcement of the ice making it three times stronger than normal ice. The top part is made of only ice and snow.
When I visited shortly after completion early 2015 the top part of the large dome had collapsed due to warm weather and was about to be rebuilt. The remaining structure was still impressive.
Check out the design and construction method on their project website
Everyone, sorry for the inactivity. A lot has gone on in the real world recently so that's the reason for my absence. I had some very ambitious projects planned but I never felt the motivation make them. I just didn't feel like my content was as impressive to the Flickr community as it had been before. Much of the community has gotten into painting, modding, and more advancing customizing while I'm looking to move more into the building aspect of LEGO. So again, I'm sorry for being gone and I will certainly be posting more, but I don't think I'll be as much as it had been.

Bluebell in a wood.
Do you ever wish you hadn’t started something? I did with this one.
Like a lot of my images, it started with an idea spawned from the Flickr magic achieved by someone else in this creative cauldron of brewed imagery. And like most ideas, it nagged in the back of my mind until I’d had a go… and then it nagged for another attempt... and another.
I’ve taken dozens over several years and this is the best achievement so far. Pure serendipity of course. I can’t actually see what the camera is taking because it’s lying on its back (no I haven’t got one of those with swivelling screens!). The camera needs to be on automatic to focus and half the time it much prefers the treetops.
And then there is the lighting contrast that gets cooked in, and making the Bluebell stand out is… well… a challenge. (It’s a bit like those project plans I am fond of that include a step that says “magic needs to happen here”.)
Ah well. This one turned out nicely centred in the tree crowns. The rest of the challenge was trying to distinguish the bulb from the background, in colour, focus and contrast. I’ll try again next year I am sure - a bit like the Bluebell there is always hope :)
For 7DWF’s Crazy Tuesday theme Looking Up.
Thank you for taking time to look. I hope you enjoy the image :) Happy 7DWF!!!
[Not very handheld in daylight.
Processed in Affinity Photo. Cropped to get rid of some extraneous Bluebells, then In-painted (heal tool) some more out of the image.
Bumped contrast, vibrancy, saturation. Darkened highlights a lot. Mangled the colours to enhance the Bluebell’s purple (Purplebells?).
Sharpened using the usual trio of Unsharp Mask, Clarity filter and High Pass filter/Linear Blend mode, with Clarity being least effective and the High Pass most (the latter at reduced opacity to tone it down). All the sharpening was masked just to the Bluebells in the foreground.
Finally dark vignette. The whole image now looks quite processed but I’m content with that. Thanks for reading ;) ]

It is the model to represent Historical Theatres in Hong Kong "State Theatre" I built it with my friend "Mythbot" over 9 months. I take responsible for model design overall , technical adjustment. We started the project planning since from Mar 2017. My first task was to design the curve of the special roof using LDD in Mar. In mid of October , we started to build according to the real blueprint which is provided from the organizer "Walk in Hong Kong". We created lots of details to enhance the theatre , such as: Classic Tram , Leyland Truck , Local Snacks , Shops. We also built the classic seat area with 2 level : deluxe area and normal area. We use over 20 days to complete the whole model.
It is meaningful, we enjoy in conservation event, we put lot of effort, use Lego bricks to build the huge model for the sake of Save the State Theatre. LEGO builder cannot control anything but we can do anything with bricks. At least , our attempt can help to raise social awareness of heritage preservation.
More history about State Theatre :
The State Theatre (Chinese: 皇都戲院) is a former cinema in Hong Kong. It is located in the North Point area along King's Road. Concerns were raised in 2015 that it may be demolished in the near future.The building was listed as a Grade I historic building in March 2017. The cinema opened in December 1952 as the Empire Theatre (璇宮戲院). It closed in 1957, and reopened in 1959 as the State Theatre, following extensive renovations. The State Theatre closed in 1997.

L’astrolabe (du grec ancien ἀστρολάβος, astrolabos, via le latin médiéval astrolabium, « preneur d'astres ») est un instrument astronomique d'observation et de calcul analogique. Instrument aux fonctions multiples, il permet notamment de mesurer la hauteur des étoiles, dont le soleil, et ainsi de déterminer l'heure de l'observation et la direction de l'astre. Sa conception, dont les origines grecques remontent à l'Antiquité, bien plus tard perfectionnée par les arabes, s'appuie sur une projection plane de la voûte céleste et de la sphère locale, dite projection stéréographique.
