Root Canal takes its name from the old tree that adorns its small plaza (some say its double entendre is an ironic allusion to the pain one feels when learning about the prices of its palaces).
It is made of a tight succession of palaces, whose proprietors strive to maintain in tip top shape in a sort of non verbal competition that neighbors of the area like to have between them. The richer the material the better, leading to some extravagant decorations and architectural details.
Although direct access to the canal was originally intended for deliveries to be stored easily in the palaces' grounds, they are now mainly used as recreative ways to arrive, by boat, to one of the prestigious parties that make Root Canal glimmer and sing until the wee hours of the night.

This MOC has basically been sitting on my desk since I finished it last July. I began building it right after finishing Crooked Hinge Manor. A change of apartment and several weeks of setting up my new Lego room and sorting up my bricks collection have led to this long delay.
The construction obviously draws its loose inspiration from Venice, Italy, probably my favorite city in the world. The idea for the sand green canal came first (water rarely looks blue), and I knew that there were going to be several interlocked buildings.I built the golden window from the leftmost palace first; it kind of paved the way for the overall architectural style of the buildings.
The roof from the same palace draws its inspiration from the wonderful staggered shingles technique made public by Siercon and Coral (Steph & Sean Mayo).
Hope you enjoy Root Canal!
the extreme rise and fall in the rivers from the dry to rainy seasons create stunning patterns of the tree roots on the river banks.
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment and favoring my images. Enjoy the day.
This huge root has found a way to co-exist with an abandoned coke oven of the Atlas Works in Dunbar, PA. There was a long line of ovens in various states of disrepair. All of them had the front brick faces removed, which rendered them non-functional and non-taxable.

The sun is low on the southern horizon in Winter and makes some interesting sidelight as it rises. It's a great time to be outdoors. Our beautiful world, pass it on.

Camera: Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta III (531/16)
Lens: Carl Zeiss Tessar f/3.5 75 mm
Film: Fomapan Action 400 @ ISO 400
Exposure: 1/200 sec and f/5.6, hand-held
Film developed and scanned by Foto Brell, Bonn
Edited under Adobe Lightroom
Exposed @ box speed based on incident light metering results in obvious underexposure. Nevertheless, the picture captures the mood of the dark forest. Rating Fomapan 400 @ ISO 200 seems to be a good idea for the future to open up the shadows.

This is a close-up photo of the wood grain patterns in the root of a driftwood tree that suggest an impish pareidolia figure.
These resilient trees depend upon strong roots to resist the inevitable.
This photo was taken by an Asahi Pentax 6 X 7 medium format film camera and Super-Multi-Coated Takumar/6X7 1:4.5/75mm lens with a Hoya 82mm HMC Y[K2] filter using Fuji Neopan Acros 100 film, the negative scanned by an Epson Perfection V600 and digitally rendered with Photoshop.
On the path beside the dockyard, lots of tree roots have burrowed through the asphalt to reach the lake. Many of their trees are no longer there.
