This SHIP went to Brickworld Chicago for the first and onl BattleSHIP competition. Although this particular ship was a casualty of war, the Colonial Fleet was ultimately Victorious!
These were fully exposed on the harbour wall. They were 4cms across. Not sure of species, I thought they were Snakelocks, however, they cannot retract their tentacles.

The 1/2.5" sensor of the Canon PowerShot SD630 I am trying to repair. The gears look ok and I got the lens retracted. I'll try putting it back together tomorrow and see if it works. Wish me luck.

With her tiny out-riggers retracting and with huge palls of smoke spewing from her screaming engines, B-52H 60-0047/MT 'Icer One One Heavy' heaves herself away from RAF Fairford's huge runway as she perfoms one of three 'touch and go' circuits before landing back after a nine hour mission.

Wizz Air UK Airbus A321 G-WUKH arrives onto stand 36 at Glasgow. It positioned from Reykjavik (Keflavik) and stopped in Glasgow for fuel before continuing on to Stansted for maintenance. The stop was necessary due to a fault with the landing gear which meant it could not be retracted.
With the shriek of her eight engines hauling her back into the Fairford skies, 60-0047 shows off, not only her cleaned-up look but also an insight into her wing structure with all that Zinc Chromate paint on show inside the yet to retract flap housings.

----About product design----
This goggle combines the functions of a night vision goggle and an AR/VR headset,
allowing you to see the world in different ways.
The design of this product is inspired by the 80's, when the cyberpunk genre was born.
The main unit looks like a cassette player, and the main storage device is replaceable like a cassette.
(That's just my imaginary story, but it's actually made in detail.)
The front panel is divided into two parts, which are asymmetrical.
On the left panel is written "百鬼夜行 (hyakkiyakou)" in Japanese kanji.
It means that at night, monsters roam in lines.

UPDATE on 5 March 2023 on right shoulder injury from my bad trip and fall on 12 September 2022. The subscapularis tendon is completely torn and retracted. With the supraspinous tendon there is a full-thickness tear, with the modiul (?) tendon retracted 17 mm, and moderate fluid within the cleft. Not good news! To repair the tendons, surgery would be needed, but I am not going to go through that. Will have to get physiotherapy to try and get some improvement with the pain, but I guess I will have to live the rest of my life with only being able to raise my right arm part way. So frustrating!
Continuing to grab a few more photos from my archives. If I wrote a description under a previously posted image taken on the same trip/outing, I will add it under today's photos. These five images were taken during a trip to Trinidad and Tobago with friends. Really, they are just odds and ends left over after I posted all the 'better' images ages ago. Thought I would "rescue" them to post, before I delete them from my computer, in order to free up some much-needed space.
"This adventure was only the second holiday (or was it actually my third?) of any kind, anywhere, that I have had in something like 30 or 35 years! The other holiday was a wonderful, one-week trip with my great friends from England, Linda and Tony, when we went down south to Yellowstone National Park and the Grand Tetons in September 2012. I have had maybe half a dozen weekends away, including to Waterton National Park, which have helped keep me going.
Six birding/photographer friends and I decided that we would take this exciting trip together (from 12-21 March 2017), spending the first two or three days on the island of Tobago and then the rest of the time at the Asa Wright Nature Centre on the nearby, much larger island of Trinidad. We decided to take a complete package, so everything was included - flights (we were so very lucky to get Black Friday prices, which were 50% off!), accommodation at both places, all our food, and the various walks and day trips that we could chose from. Two of my friends, Anne B. and Brenda, saw to all the planning of flights and accommodations, which was so very much appreciated by the rest of us. I could never have done all this myself!
What a time we had, seeing so many beautiful and interesting things - and, of course, everything was a lifer for me. Some of these friends had visited Costa Rica before, so were familiar with some of the birds. There was a lot more to see on Trinidad, so we were glad that we chose Tobago to visit first and then spend a longer time at Asa Wright. It was wonderful to be right by the sea, though, at the Blue Waters Inn on the island of Tobago. Just gorgeous.
The Asa Wright Nature Centre, on Trinidad, is such an amazing place! We stayed in cabins up or down hill from the main building. Really, one doesn't need to travel away from the Centre for birding, as so many different species visit the Hummingbird feeders that are right by the huge, open veranda, and the trees of the rain forest high up a mountainous road. The drive up and down this narrow, twisting, pot-holed road was an adventure in itself! Never would I ever do this drive myself - we had a guide who drove us everywhere in a van/small bus. I had read many accounts of this road, lol! There was just enough room for two vehicles to squeeze past each other, and the honking of horns was almost continuous - either to warn any vehicle that might be coming fast around the next bend or as a sign that drivers knew each other. The drive along this road, from the coast to Asa Wright, took just over an hour each way.
Even after more than two months, I still miss the great food that was provided every single day at Asa Wright and the Rum Punch that appeared each evening. I never drink at all, so I wasn't sure if I would even try the Punch - glad I did, though, as it was delicious and refreshing. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were all served buffet-style, with a great variety of dishes from which to choose. To me, pure luxury. So very, very grateful to have been invited to be part of this amazing adventure."
Teams retracted the first two of 20 platforms surrounding the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft that allow work on the integrated system in High Bay 3 inside the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The first platforms to be retracted – which move like hydraulic kitchen drawers when moved – are those located near the launch abort system on Orion in preparation for rollout to Launch Complex 39B for the Artemis I wet dress rehearsal.

More snow fell overnight 4/5 March 2023. Most days in the next two weeks are forecast to have more snow. Not as bad as some places in Canada and the U.S., where winter conditions are extreme.

I think this was my favourite little bird to see during our five day stay at the Asa Wright Nature Centre, on the island of Trinidad (off the coast of Venezuela). I had seen photos of them before six friends and I went on this adventure, and I was hoping so much that we would see one. I need not have worried, as there were many sightings of these small, purple/blue birds each day. Just love their bright yellow legs and feet.

I learned that once the chameleon retracts its tongue into its mouth with its prey rolled up it scrapes the bug off by pressing it against the back of its eyeballs. It's eyeballs bulge out ever so briefly as this is done.
(Circus cyaneus) in bright late afternoon sun....
I am retracting the following comment (I suspect that this lady is the same bird that gave me so many good looks as a juvenile a year ago in the same area. Now she's all grown up and a lot more confident around photographers....) after Peter Berglin's comment below made me rethink and reevaluate. He's right! In fact, I had the juvenile-adult plumage ID reversed. The buffy breasted Harrier is the juvenile and the striped breasted bird is the adult. OMG! Live and learn!!
"Males are gray above and whitish below with black wingtips, a dark trailing edge to the wing, and a black-banded tail. Females and immatures are brown, with black bands on the tail. Adult females have whitish undersides with brown streaks, whereas immatures are buffy, with less streaking. All Northern Harriers have a white rump patch that is obvious in flight." —Cornell Lab of Ornithology
This bee, which is about the size of a bumblebee, is the cuckoo to an Amigella species more commonly know as Green eyed or White banded bees, which I did see a couple of about but just a bit too active to get any shots of. These individuals roost on twigs and other fine stems by clamping their mandibles and retracting the legs, regardless of its size and colour you still had to look quite hard to see it.

I liked the intricacy of the reflected tree branches on the surface of the water, as well of course, as the little floating bundle of cuteness!
I am not that pleased with the wheels retracting at funny angles but I am pleased with the jelly air. This was how it was no photoshop work - but it is like an oblong block in its wake. The heat must have been intense anywhere near that runway and in the hangar.

"The Roman Catholic parish church of St. John the Baptist is a listed church building that stands in Goßmannsdorf am Main, a part of the town of Ochsenfurt in the Würzburg district (Lower Franconia, Bavaria). The building is registered as a monument in the Bavarian list of monuments under monument number D-6-79-170-275. The parish belongs to the Tückelhausen parish community in the Ochsenfurt deanery of the Würzburg diocese.
The hall church, which was essentially medieval, was renovated except for the church tower in 1796/97. It consists of a nave, a retracted choir to the east and the choir connection tower that remains to the east, which was expanded in the early 17th century to include a floor for the tower clock and the belfry, in which four church bells hang, and covered with a Welsch hood. The façade in the west is divided into three areas by pilaster strips; the portal is in the middle and is covered with a tail gable. The church furnishings include a high altar created by Johann Peter Wagner.
Goßmannsdorf am Main [pronounced gɔsmansdɔʁf am maɪ̯n] is a settlement with a good 1000 inhabitants west of Ochsenfurt am Main. The village has been a district of Ochsenfurt since July 1, 1972.
The origins of Goßmannsdorf am Main are largely obscure. Goßmannsdorf is first mentioned in old records around 840. Old name variants are also Gotzbaldesdorf, Gozboldesdorf or similar (after the oldest landlord, Gotzbald).
From the 14th to the 19th century the place had a closed village fortification, which consisted of a circular wall with three large and seven small towers. It is only partially preserved at its old height.
The first synagogue was built in Goßmannsdorf/Main in 1765. Jews have been living in the town since 1510.
In 1815 Goßmannsdorf became part of Bavaria, the mayor's office was dissolved and the citizens from then on elected a mayor. Previously, Messrs. Zobel, von Geyer and the Würzburg Cathedral Chapter shared ownership of the village.
In 1972, in a citizen survey on the occasion of the upcoming regional reform, the people of Goßmannsdorf decided to merge with Ochsenfurt. The incorporation decision was passed by the local council in February 1972 with a 10-0 vote. Centuries of independence came to an end.
Until well into the 19th century, agriculture, viticulture and the demolition of natural stone were predominant. Shipping on the Main also played a significant role for the town: grain from the Ochsenfurter Gau was loaded onto ships in Goßmannsdorf and taken to Würzburg, for example.
Lower Franconia (German: Unterfranken) is one of seven districts of Bavaria, Germany. The districts of Lower, Middle and Upper Franconia make up the region of Franconia. It consists of nine districts and 308 municipalities (including three cities).
After the founding of the Kingdom of Bavaria the state was totally reorganised and, in 1808, divided into 15 administrative government regions (German: Regierungsbezirke, singular Regierungsbezirk), in Bavaria called Kreise (singular: Kreis). They were created in the fashion of the French departements, quite even in size and population, and named after their main rivers.
In the following years, due to territorial changes (e. g. loss of Tyrol, addition of the Palatinate), the number of Kreise was reduced to 8. One of these was the Untermainkreis (Lower Main District). In 1837 king Ludwig I of Bavaria renamed the Kreise after historical territorial names and tribes of the area. This also involved some border changes or territorial swaps. Thus the name Untermainkreis changed to Lower Franconia and Aschaffenburg, but the city name was dropped in the middle of the 20th century, leaving just Lower Franconia.
From 1933, the regional Nazi Gauleiter, Otto Hellmuth, (who had renamed his party Gau "Mainfranken") insisted on renaming the government district Mainfranken as well. He encountered resistance from Bavarian state authorities but finally succeeded in having the name of the district changed, effective 1 June 1938. After 1945 the name Unterfranken was restored.
Franconia (German: Franken, pronounced [ˈfʁaŋkŋ̍]; Franconian: Franggn [ˈfrɑŋɡŋ̍]; Bavarian: Frankn) is a region of Germany, characterised by its culture and Franconian dialect (German: Fränkisch).
Franconia is made up of the three Regierungsbezirke of Lower, Middle and Upper Franconia in Bavaria, the adjacent, Franconian-speaking, South Thuringia, south of the Thuringian Forest—which constitutes the language boundary between Franconian and Thuringian— and the eastern parts of Heilbronn-Franconia in Baden-Württemberg.
Those parts of the Vogtland lying in Saxony (largest city: Plauen) are sometimes regarded as Franconian as well, because the Vogtlandian dialects are mostly East Franconian. The inhabitants of Saxon Vogtland, however, mostly do not consider themselves as Franconian. On the other hand, the inhabitants of the Hessian-speaking parts of Lower Franconia west of the Spessart (largest city: Aschaffenburg) do consider themselves as Franconian, although not speaking the dialect. Heilbronn-Franconia's largest city of Heilbronn and its surrounding areas are South Franconian-speaking, and therefore only sometimes regarded as Franconian. In Hesse, the east of the Fulda District is Franconian-speaking, and parts of the Oden Forest District are sometimes regarded as Franconian for historical reasons, but a Franconian identity did not develop there.
Franconia's largest city and unofficial capital is Nuremberg, which is contiguous with Erlangen and Fürth, with which it forms the Franconian conurbation with around 1.3 million inhabitants. Other important Franconian cities are Würzburg, Bamberg, Bayreuth, Ansbach and Coburg in Bavaria, Suhl and Meiningen in Thuringia, and Schwäbisch Hall in Baden-Württemberg.
The German word Franken—Franconians—also refers to the ethnic group, which is mainly to be found in this region. They are to be distinguished from the Germanic people of the Franks, and historically formed their easternmost settlement area. The origins of Franconia lie in the settlement of the Franks from the 6th century in the area probably populated until then mainly by the Elbe Germanic people in the Main river area, known from the 9th century as East Francia (Francia Orientalis). In the Middle Ages the region formed much of the eastern part of the Duchy of Franconia and, from 1500, the Franconian Circle. The restructuring of the south German states by Napoleon, after the demise of the Holy Roman Empire, saw most of Franconia awarded to Bavaria." - info from Wikipedia.

Imperial courier nano done. This is the only other ship that I've done at all three scales (minifig scale, 125 scale, and 1:250 scale). This one has retracting landing gear as well as an opening cargo scoop. There is an interior but its used for storage of the accompanying nanofig, though it can be decorated if so desired. I'm VERY proud of the thruster assembly at the back. It was one of the main goals to get the orange vents and the two small thrusters aside the main thrusters. It’s pretty fragile when constructing its much stronger once built. I have tested the main connections to make sure they work.

St. Peter und Paul, Reichenau, Baden-Württemberg, Deutschland.
St. Peter und Paul es una basílica románica con columnas y una fachada de torre este en la isla de Reichenau, en el distrito de Niederzell. La iglesia y la isla del monasterio son Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO desde el año 2000.
La primera iglesia de San Pedro en este lugar fue construida en el año 799 por el obispo Egino de Verona, quien, tras su dimisión, se retiró aquí a una cella, donde murió en el año 802. En 799 se mudó a la cella ricamente amueblada en el extremo occidental de Reichenau, que había fundado con el permiso del abad Valdo, lo que no podría haber sucedido sin años de preparación. Egino es venerado como beato y enterrado en la iglesia que fundó. Recibió la tumba en el coro de la actual colegiata románica en el siglo XII.
Su iglesia era un edificio de salón con un ábside retraído, que debía estar ricamente decorado, como todavía lo muestran los relieves ornamentales conservados en la nave norte. Los restos (no visibles) de decoraciones murales pintadas de la época carolingia demuestran que esta primera iglesia también fue pintada. Sin embargo, después de dos incendios, el edificio de los cimientos fue demolido alrededor del año 1080 y la basílica de columnas actual sin crucero se construyó sobre los cimientos antiguos, conservando las dimensiones originales. Las últimas obras de tejado de la nueva iglesia se remontan al año 1134.
En los años 1750/60 se llevó a cabo una profunda remodelación del interior.
Del exterior románico de la iglesia sólo se puede tener una idea aproximada en la fachada este con las dos torres añadidas en el siglo XV. La ventana del muro del ábside, demasiado grande, sustituye a una ventana central románica, probablemente decorada con vidrieras. Solía haber una capilla adicional y un recinto amurallado al sur. También se puede encontrar un recinto de pared abierto en el lado oeste de la iglesia.
Además de la pintura del ábside de finales del siglo XI, que impresiona a los visitantes de hoy, el edificio anterior de la iglesia actual es particularmente informativo desde el punto de vista histórico, porque su decoración ornamental y pintoresca revela influencias lombardas, que fueron importantes para la posterior escuela de pintura de Reichenau ( Monasterio de Reichenau) de la segunda mitad del siglo IX marcaron tendencia. Del edificio del siglo XI aún se conservan las arcadas de columnas con sus estrictos capiteles decorados ornamentalmente.
El interior de San Pedro y San Pablo fue remodelado hacia 1750/1760 en estilo rococó: se ampliaron las ventanas, se reemplazó el techo plano de madera por una bóveda plana de estuco y se retrajo la galería del órgano en la parte occidental.
A la pequeña capilla Egino, que se utiliza para las oraciones horarias de los benedictinos en la Cella San Benito, se puede acceder a través de una entrada lateral.
St. Peter and Paul is a Romanesque basilica with columns and an east tower façade on the island of Reichenau, in the district of Niederzell. The church and the monastery island have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000.
The first church of St. Peter on this site was built in the year 799 by Bishop Egino of Verona, who, after his resignation, retired here to a cella, where he died in the year 802. In 799 he moved to the rich cella furnished at the western end of Reichenau, which he had founded with the permission of Abbot Valdo, which could not have happened without years of preparation. Egino is venerated as blessed and buried in the church he founded. He received the tomb in the choir of the current Romanesque collegiate church in the 12th century.
His church was a hall building with a retracted apse, which must have been richly decorated, as the ornamental reliefs preserved in the north nave still show. The remains (not visible) of painted wall decorations from the Carolingian period demonstrate that this first church was also painted. However, after two fires, the foundation building was demolished around the year 1080 and the current columned basilica without a transept was built on the ancient foundations, preserving the original dimensions. The last roof works on the new church date back to the year 1134.
In the 1750s/60s a thorough remodeling of the interior was carried out.
Of the Romanesque exterior of the church you can only get a rough idea on the east façade with the two towers added in the 15th century. The window in the apse wall, too large, replaces a central Romanesque window, probably decorated with stained glass. There used to be an additional chapel and a walled enclosure to the south. An open wall enclosure can also be found on the west side of the church.
In addition to the apse painting from the late 11th century, which impresses today's visitors, the former building of the current church is particularly informative from a historical point of view, because its ornamental and picturesque decoration reveals Lombard influences, which were important for the later Reichenau school of painting (Reichenau Monastery) of the second half of the 9th century they set a trend. The column arcades with their strict ornately decorated capitals are still preserved from the 11th century building.
The interior of St. Peter and St. Paul was remodeled around 1750/1760 in the Rococo style: the windows were enlarged, the flat wooden ceiling was replaced by a flat stucco vault, and the organ gallery was retracted in the western part.
The small Egino chapel, used for Benedictine hourly prayers in the Cella San Benito, can be accessed through a side entrance.

Snail is a common name that is applied most often to land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs. However, the common name "snail" is also applied to most of the members of the molluscan class Gastropoda that have a coiled shell that is large enough for the animal to retract completely into. When the word "snail" is used in this most general sense, it includes not just land snails but also thousands of species of sea snails and freshwater snails. Occasionally a few other molluscs that are not actually gastropods, such as the Monoplacophora, which superficially resemble small limpets, may also informally be referred to as "snails".
Snail-like animals that naturally lack a shell, or have only an internal shell, are usually called slugs, and land snails that have only a very small shell (that they cannot retract into) are often called semislugs.
