The Colosseum, Rome
Well there can’t be many more iconic and instantly recognisable structures in the world than the Colosseum in Rome.
Given how iconic it is there was no way I was not going to shoot it. Now one of my locations was covered by Daniel Burton recently www.flickr.com/photos/92169786@N06/54403371597/in/datepos... I did go there before this shot but I’ll save my take on it for another time. Having seen one or two compositions on Flickr I decided to do some research online before going to Rome to see if any other compositions presented themselves. Now, for me, this was pretty hard going as the vast majority of what I could see was all geared towards the ‘Insta-selfie’ crowd (thanks to Dom Haughton for that term). To me, anything on the Instaselfie hit-list is like a ‘No Entry’ sign. All full of people posing with mega-crowds of tourists in the background also taking selfies and eating gelatos. However, at the point I did come across a few locations that I felt had potential. Unfortunately some were not feasible due to a multitude of maintenance works going on but I got lucky here. It was just a case of waiting as I had a strong feeling the early sun might catch one side of the Colosseum. I had to be a little patient as it took a few mins for the sunlight to strike the top of the stone. Luckily it still had that soft orange tone but as the sun rose and the light travelled down the structure it soon lost that colour. I think this shot is a fair compromise between colour and amount of the Colosseum hatched in light.
According to Wikipedia the Colosseum is not only the largest standing amphitheatre in the world but also the largest ancient amphitheatre ever built. Construction began under the Emperor Vespasian in AD 72 and was completed in AD 80 under his successor and heir, Titus. Further modifications were made during the reign of Domitian (AD 81-96).
The Colosseum is built of travertine limestone, volcanic rock, and brick-faced concrete. It could hold an estimated 50,000 to 80,000 spectators at various points in its history, having an average audience of some 65,000. As is well known, it was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles including animal hunts, executions, re-enactments of famous battles, dramas based on Roman mythology, and briefly mock sea battles! It ceased to be used for entertainment in the early medieval era. It was later reused for such purposes as housing, workshops, quarters for a religious order, a fortress, a quarry, and a Christian shrine.
Although substantially ruined by earthquakes and stone robbers, the Colosseum is still a renowned symbol of Imperial Rome and was listed as one of the New 7 Wonders of the World - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_7_Wonders_of_the_World

The front half of this thing has been sitting around since sometime last summer and I've used quarantine to finish it off. I think the overall quality drops off the farther back on the ship you go, but overall I'm very happy with it!

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.
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.

I built mine more around scientific sample retrieval, and things like that. I really enjoyed working with this frame, might experiment with it some more in the future!
The minifigure was somewhat inspired by the guys seen in the gameplay trailer for Death Stranding. Really looking forward to when I can play that game, not sure when that’ll be though
Finished all my finals yesterday, so a new trimester starts next week. not sure if it will free up time to post or make it harder, but hopefully you guys will be seeing more of me.
Have a great weekend, everyone!

Built for Space Jam 2019's lab category. Part of a larger research facility on Delta Prime, the hydroponics research facility gets lots of attention. If life is to be sustainable, the scientists stationed here need to find a way to get plants to grow on alien worlds.

EPA flies drones above the smoke to gather the particles that are in the air & they take a bunch of photos (would like to see some of their photos). I think the drones also take photos.

At the beginning of this year we visited Archeon.
Archeon is an archaeological themepark in the
west of the Netherlands. In the park the past of
the Netherlands has been brought to life with
reconstructions in prehistoric times,
the Roman period and the Middle Ages. The
reconstructions are all based on scientific
archaeological and technical research.
In the park there were several people
re-enacting the daily life at those times
In the nothern part of the town houses are dating from the
fourteenth century. Here is also the monastery
belonging to the Franciscans or Friars Minor.

New Haven Railroad R2-a class 4-8-2 Mountain steam locomotive # 3501, is seen while leading a westbound manifest freight train on the Shore Line route as it departs the area of Guilford, Connecticut, February 1948. It was still winter when this photo was taken with snow on the ground.
The name of the photographer that captured this image on film is I believe Kent Cochrane. This is a modified, enhanced and cropped photo scan from an image that was from my collection of railroad photos.

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.

I'm working w/ the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA) over the next year to help document and share their amazing stories of cutting-edge cancer research and treatment. I'm going to be photographing events, building a photo archives, creating patient and; doctor stories and other creative storytelling projects that arise. This weekend I attended the Swim Across America and The Pink Boat Regatta. I'll be back down next month to photograph the #PurpleStride marathon and a bunch of other cool community initiatives.

Swim Across America fills a void by providing vital seed funding to world-renowned hospitals that are investigating and conducting new clinical trials that lead to treatments and cures to defeat cancer. We host benefit swims as an opportunity to raise much needed money for our hospital partners conducting lifesaving research and clinical trials.

Slimbridge in Gloucestershire has themed areas representing different wetlands throughout the world and there habitats with associated birds. Over the last few years they have done a lot of work here to improve the visitor experience. In the summer months you can walk down to the River Severn estuary through the massive feed beds. We had a very interesting day out here yesterday, very enjoyable!
