This planet seems good. One species seem to be so populous they have infiltrated every continent. They do have some rudimentary language skills but their mathematic ability is so basic they would never be considered an intelligent species. Atmosphere is very similar to ours with minimal terra and bioforming needed making it cheap to colonize.
The fingers quickly tapped the device sending a communication to corporate headquarters that they could apply to the commission to colonize earth with a high degree of probability of being approved.
Within a decade the ships started arriving. Humans objected to being colonized and threw every nuclear weapon they could scrap up. The colonizers retreated back to orbit, baffled by a species intelligent enough to create a bomb that could destroy the atmosphere and stupid enough to deploy it. The colonizers requested equipment to cleanse the atmosphere which was an extra expense. By the time they received approval and the equipment, all life forms on earth were dead except for cockroaches.
The colony shipped in fauna and flora from their original planet. It was much better really. Normally it was very difficult to get permission to make a planet exactly like home. There were groups that fought for planetary diversity but really it wasn't the colonizers' fault the original species killed themselves and almost everything else.
No one was happy about the cockroaches tho. Not even the groups for planetary diversity as cockroaches spread quickly across the galaxies once a few managed to get aboard ships. Major funding was approved to eradicate them. Nothing worked. The cockroaches kept surviving and coming back. Very irritating.

Note: I added texture and the aqua lighting on the right through Photoshop. For the texture, I used NightCafe to create an image with two planets on one layer and then used the SoftLight filter in PS at 40% opacity. The aqua lighting I brushed two circles of aqua, then Guassian Filter to spread them out, then Vivid Light filters at differing opacity for each circle.
This is my original raw picture from SL
Welcome to Planet Frost
Our tour continues...
You may have noticed throughout our tour of Planet Frost that spacemen and spacewomen travel here from throughout the galaxy to further their scientific studies. Our unique and varied array of spaceplants and indigenous creatures attract researchers from many disciplines and many space factions. Here is a scientific envoy from the planet Whitetron. The Whitetron inhabitants very rarely leave their monochromatic world, but this special team has traveled to Planet Frost to study and report back about the properties of our colorful wildlife.

Having wasted most of my day on Flickr-y things like slimming down my sets, adding new sets ready for the new year, and other general housekeeping, I decided I needed to keep Ginger company, and ended up sitting on the sofa researching whisky (in the glass) and double decker buses (on the Internet) while Ginger researched wedding dresses, whisky and took her own picture for the day.
The peace was only broken when I exclaimed "Well bugger me!" upon realising I'd accidentally managed to bag a FUTAB as well. For some reason Ginger found this statement amusing.

Doing some research at the Electricity Factory - the old power station right next to MAAT in Lisbon. She was completely engrossed in her reading, regardless of how many visitors happened by.
Excerpt from Wikipedia:
The Roman wall of Zaragoza is a defensive wall built in the Colonia Caesar Augusta, in the Hispania Citerior Tarraconensis province belonging to the Roman Empire, currently called Zaragoza, being the capital of the autonomous community of Aragon, ( Spain ).
Built under the command of Tiberius in the 1st century and reformed until the 3rd century, the Roman wall of Zaragoza came to have a length of about 3,000 meters and about 120 defensive towers. Two sections have been preserved: the longest, about 80 meters long, at the northwest corner of what was the Roman city of Caesaraugusta, next to the Torreón de La Zuda, and another on the northeast side, which is currently part of the Convent of the Holy Sepulcher.
Its layout, studied by Francisco Íñiguez Almech, must have been regular, with a height of about ten meters and four in width. At intervals of fourteen to sixteen meters were ultra-semicircular towers, with a diameter of between 8 and 13 meters. The wall of the Roman foundation enclosed and conditioned the urban layout for many centuries, as they were reused by Visigoths and Muslims.
The 2008 edition of the Zaragoza Historical Artistic Guide directed by Guillermo Fatás, points out that recent research indicates that the preserved wall was built in the second half of the 3rd century AD. C. and executed with a uniform construction technique: an interior body of Roman concrete covered with ashlars on the outside, 7 m thick except for the eastern section, which would be built in ashlar rigging and would be 6 m thick.
The nuclear reactor at Reed College is the only reactor in the US staffed by undergraduate students. It was installed in 1968. It provides a neutron source for research purposes. It is a 250 kW reactor.
I will say it is both normal and unnerving to stand at the edge of the 25 foot deep pool of water and see the reactor working in the depths. It is otherwise a typical scientific facility with both hi-tech and low-tech solutions in place. For example, they fish samples out of the reactor with a modified fishing rod. But there is always a Geiger counter clicking in the background. The student who staff the facility are all licensed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. They are very impressive young people.
I saw out of the corner of my eye, that this poor Monarch had something stuck to its wing. It wasn’t until I checked the photo later, that I saw there was writing on the thing stuck to its wing. Monarch tracking information! Who knew?
Iowa Northern Railway train BUWA has IANR 4100, 3809, 3802, and 3803 for power on this December Sunday to make the run from Butler Yard near Shell Rock, Iowa to Bryant Yard in Waterloo. The train had 75 cars out of Butler, but have brought the head 15 into the CN Waterloo Yard for interchange. In the background EJE 667, still in orange, is paused in between it's duties as the yard switch engine, and a few other motors are laying around at the engine facility including EJE 658 in CN paint.
The CN is in the process of purchasing the IANR but is still awaiting STB approval, and so this is perhaps a bit of a look into the future. Meanwhile the past is well represented in this view too, as the Illinois Central Roundhouse here in the background has been present in at least in some form, (it's had stalls added and removed over the years) back to as far as 1901 (and possibly longer, it was hard to pin down a good date for the roundhouse construction from just some quick online research).
The Iowa Northern Railway uses the CN Mainline in Waterloo and Cedar Falls for a few miles from Waterloo West to Cedar Falls Junction as part of an arrangement going back to the 1980s and a highway project that saw the consolidation of some lines in Waterloo to make room for US 218. Normally from what I've seen the interchange work is typically done by the IANR in either direction at some siding tracks just west of Waterloo West and so they don't come into the yard like this. But occasionally when traffic warrants the CN will have the IANR come directly into the "A Yard" here at the Waterloo Terminal to make their setout and pickup as seen here. They would tie onto a cut of cars and shove back out of the yard to the rest of their train waiting on the mainline.
I had gone out after this BUWA even though it was likely to be a cloudy day because IANR 4100 on the point is one of the road's newest units (arrived to the IANR in August 2023 per some online notes, though it's originally a C&O unit) and still looks pretty sharp. But it was a nice bonus to get them making this less-common move, and this angle normally would be a heavily backlit-view if the sun were present.
The lab is hot and dusty, Flit coughs and lifts her googles as the morning sun crawls along the floor in an anti-shadow indicating that the night shift is almost over.
The late nights are starting to get to her and she finds it hard to grasp at the concept of time... she tries to make sense of the doctors handwritting; she wonders if they teach how to be illegible in med school.

In a little beach of French Riviera, I have seen a strange man that goes around the sand unfailingly. I have thinking that he was a little crazy because he walked in all the side... Then I have look that he have also a kind of metal detector, and so I know what he make.... The "researcher"...
It was screamingly funny!!!!!!!!!! Ah!!
Nice day.......

In una piccola spiaggia della Costa Azzurra, ho visto uno strano tipo che andava in giro per la spiaggia instancabilmente. Ho pensato che fosse un po' matto perché camminava da tutte le parti.... Poi ho visto che aveva una specie di metal detector, e così ho capito che cosa faceva.... Il "ricercatore".... Da morire dal ridere!!!!!!!!!!!!Ah!!

Built for the Burgomeister "R&D Lab" category of DA4, supporting General Farok. The embedded image in the comments meets the A&B criteria of designing LEGO inspired box art.
The research and development lab staff include:
- Master Administrator (main floor); oversees the overall running of the research institute, as well as the data analytics.
- Master of Chemistry (top floor); leads research in spice production, refinement, and weaponized usages. Controls the refining column that rises through the building.
- Master of Resources (in vehicle); procures all resources needed by the lab. Also the primary driver of the desert track ATV stored in the bottom level. The grand staircase in front of the building lifts up for the vehicle to pass through.
- Master of Arms (bottom level); tests all weapons for combat worthiness.
- Master of Communications (bottom level with headset); researches sonic weapons, specifically attuned to the "weirding way".
Gloster Meteor T.7(MOD) WL375 displayed at the Dumfries & Galloway Aviation Museum. Two non standard modifications are a photo nose and F.8 tail assembly. Painted in the last known scheme applied when in service at RAF West Freugh southwest Scotland.
Delivered to the RAF 5 June 1952 and in service up until 1969 it would seem mostly for research/trials work at West Freugh, the twin jet was semi derelict and abandoned in the long grass at that airfield in 1996.
The museum volunteers have done a grand restoration job on this classic early jet fighter design.
El proyecto M.A.R.T.E ( en español, Experimento Astrobiológico de Tecnología e Investigación para Marte ) tiene por objetivos: buscar formas de vida extremófilas en el subsuelo del río Tinto y desarrollar tecnología que algún día podrá ser utilizada en la búsqueda de vida en el subsuelo de Marte.
"El área del Río Tinto presenta analogías importantes con Marte, que pueden ayudar en la búsqueda de vida, en agua líquida, bajo el subsuelo de Marte," según Carol Stoker, investigadora principal del proyecto y que pertenece al NASA Ames Research Center situado en el Silicon Valley, California.

I'm not sure what type bird this is. I thought maybe a swallow or finch, but even after some online research, I'm not sure. The region this was taken is northwest USA - Oregon/Washington. (Maryhill State Park Area IMG_3864.jpg)
Build for my article on New Elementary all about the latest wave of parts added to Pick a Brick this month.
I only had one of each seed part to play with so I went for an asymmetric vehicle using the transparent curved corner panel (5925). It turned out to be a bit of a slog to complete but I got there in the end - thanks to some Lime green frying pans of all things.

They may want to rename flytraps to scientist-traps!
One of the last photos taken on my old camera as I am switching to a new one! I definitely want to take more shots with the Lego City Jungle theme minifigs as I absolutely love this theme. It reminds me of the old Lego Adventures themes with a tinge of real-life science, this is one of the themes I wish I grew up with.
Enjoy!
Hertshooi
Hypericum (hertshooi) adrosaemum is een halfheester.
De bloemen hebben opvallende bundels meeldraden. In de herfst kleuren de bessen van rood naar zwart.
De bladeren van deze soort staan kruisgewijs tegenover elkaar. Het geeft het sierlijke effect aan de stengels. De bloemen staan op de toppen van de stengels. Ze zijn maar drie à vier cm groot, maar de lange meeldraden stelen de show; het zijn net verstijfde wimpers.
