either this is the makings of a new pink floyd cover or somehow a 3xp shot processed in photomatix can turn a raging electrical storm over west toronto into a floating deity.

Raven commissioned me to make a Copperhead Armor set from Halo 5: Guardians. In the game, this armor is worn by Spartan Vale.
Inspirations and relevant people are tagged. The community has been suffering without our Brick Affliction and so hopefully, this will help fill the void just a little bit.
This is the newly-finished master sculpt, and I will cast it onto new body parts. Sets from now on will be 30 each, or I will trade for a Brick Affliction Legendary Chief set. If you would like one, contact me at detroitika232(AT)gmail . com or send me a Flickrmail. I will probably be making less than 10 total! Edit: Unfortunately I can not offer this any longer! It was too difficult to produce high-quality casts!
(Now is a good time to mention -- I've finally managed to get molds working for my old Halo Reach Carter helmet and my Boonie Hat, so also contact me if you are interested in acquiring those. Might post a pic later about that.)
as time takes its toll on the paintwork the beauty of this glazed brick wall is slowly revealed again in the engine house of Manchesters long disused & soon to be redeveloped London rd Fire station
now at design collective; available march 1st.
(this is part 1/3 of new surprises alluded to before!)
This is part 2 of the purple crocus. There is some ground cover vinca in the background.

By getting right up to water's edge and using a polarizing filter I was able capture the magnificent lake-bed colours and shapes, seen through the calm, clear Lake Superior water
The stunning view of Mt. Indefatigable and Kananaskis lakes seen from Sarrail Ridge. Looks great with a hint of fresh snow.
This image was taken whilst exploring the woods at Stourhead.
I decided to re-explore a location that I'd been to a couple of times. This time however I wasn't as inspire as the previous visits. As I was heading back I noticed the light on the tree trunks and so I began to capture the scene.
Slowly but surely, Autumn is starting to reveal itself. This week, in my surroundings, I noticed that the trees and nature in general started noticeably to change their Summer clothes into ones with more reddish, yellow and orange tones. Oh, and we had our first morning with thick fog.
Every year, around this time, when the temperature starts to be bearable and the mornings are a bit chilly, I remind myself how much I don’t like Summer in the last couple of seasons. However, I will spare you my moaning about scorching temperatures, dry air, humidity and similar. Instead, I will tell you about a fantastic Autumn morning I spent in my local forest.
For a long time, a couple of months, I was waiting for some decent atmosphere so I could get some nature photos. Every evening I glance at my weather apps to see if there is a possibility for some optimal conditions for photography in the morning. I wasn’t that lucky until recently, when we had the most beautiful morning for a long, long time.
It was still dark outside when I woke up. I looked at the window and I saw a clear sky with some clouds here and there, most importantly, on the spot where the sun should rise. I thought to myself that it would be a regular morning, without any atmosphere whatsoever, just like every other in recent days.
Nevertheless, I went out like most mornings, bringing my camera with me. After some time walking in the cold, I notice a thick layer of fog approaching from the hill in the near distance. Could it really be the day I get some luck?
I’ve immediately sped up the pace of my steps, heading toward a few local forests nearby that are on the same trail. After some thirty minutes of walking, I arrived at my first spot, a bit smaller forest with a few gorgeous tree species. There was no fog in that location at this time, but I saw in the distance that everything around was covered with fog, including the second, much bigger forest that is around ten minutes away.
Without thinking, my legs started going toward that spot. After some time walking, I turned around and saw fog in the forest I had just abandoned, but there was no point in turning back. I’ve bitten my tongue and moved forward.
At one point, fortunately, I entered the thick layer of fog, and my excitement began to build. Frantically, I began to shoot everything around. I was in a dreamland.
Moving around, I started to notice that I’m stepping on some fresh fallen yellow leaves. I’ve looked for a composition and found a group of trees interacting with fog in the most precious way, with the yellow leaves in the foreground just adding to the scene. What a sight.
That morning, I’ve got a bunch of great photos. It was such an adventure walking around the trees and enjoying this special Autumn morning.
I recently had been going through my archives looking for some other photos when I stumbled upon some previously unedited images that I had set aside to edit. So I did a few quick edits and will hopefully be presenting these images over the next several days. This is another of those photos.
On one of my few trips to the BNSF Chillicothe Sub in the final months of the famous Santa Fe-era signal bridges and cantilevers with searchlights, we happened to be exploring the line between Mazon & Ancona. We were on the way back from Ancona when we noticed an oncoming train in the east. We cut a beeline to the nearest crossing, which just happened to be a small cluster of houses south of Streator. The train turned out to be (if I remember correctly) NSIGAL, the train that comes off the Norfolk Southern Kankakee Sub on the south side of Streator. We had seen this train holding for orders or new crew earlier when we had been exploring around Streator.
Anyway, after the train passed, we noticed an odd little gravel drive that went through a cluster of trees next to the tracks. What we could not see from the road we would soon discover. Inside the trees we discovered this abandoned building. At first glance, we thought it was an abandoned farm building of some sort, you could see old hay through the collapsing walls.
But the more I looked at it, the more I thought it might be an old long-forgotten depot. This building's proximity to the railroad tracks seemed too suspicious to me, and the windows and door seen in the image did not seem like they belonged were original features, while the dual sliding doors also seen in this image clearly were not (and may have done more to compromise the stability of this building than anything else). The only way for us to know for sure was to find the tell-tale feature of almost every railroad depot, the bay window that the station agents used for seeing oncoming trains.
I should add, it had been raining all day this day, a very hard and steady rain that will soak you to the bone in minutes, and only with proper rain gear is it tolerable. Also, the grass here was knee-high and covered in poison ivy. Even though it meant soaked pants, socks, & shoes, and potentially getting poison ivy, we walked around to the trackside of the building. And just as I had predicted, there it was, the bay window! Granted, it was worse for wear, but still plain as day. So not only was this building a depot, we soon discovered that it was not listed in my friends listings of known depots!
With no idea of this place, a peek inside revealed this depot's life after retirement. Sometime after it was disused as a depot, it was converted to farm use of some sort. Either a second floor was added or the existing ceiling was lowered, with the new upper story used to store hay. This second floor had largely collapsed over time, but old rotten hay could still be seen matted to the floor like a pile of wet sheep's wool. The double doors were likely added about the same time and no doubt housed some sort of farm machinery.
Almost convinced we stumbled upon a mystery nearly lost to time, we called it quits and finally headed for home. Later that night, some research and Google Maps revealed what we had found. It turns out we were in the tiny blip of a town named Reading that sits between Streator and Ancona, and this was indeed the old Santa Fe Reading depot. It had never been moved and was indeed in its as-built location. My friend never did find it in is depot resources, and we could only speculate that its use as a farm building may have masked its life when that list of depots was compiled (I want to say his version dated from 2006 or so). About a year later, however, when we learned of DepotMaps.com, we were able to confirm our reasearch.
Sorry, I know this is long, so I'll sum up this way. We found this in October 2017. I have no idea if this thing still survives today, much less whether it's standing. But as of this writing, a look on Google satellite view shows what might be building walls or the outline of a foundation. It's just too hard to tell. And with no street views out in rural Reading, the only way to know is to drive by it.
It is still maybe two months away from fall season, but I can't wait to show some picture of my favorite season. Sieur de Monts Spring, Acadia National Park is truely a treasure, when it displayed a nice spectrum of fall colors. I also like the layers of light from foreground to background of this scene.
