*water challenge*
Tried out my new underwater housing in the pool on the 4th. I have to admit I was a bit scared to put my camera in the water for the first time but it worked fine and felt secure. :) Very clunky and hard to use but a $75 housing beats the pro ones for over $1,000.
Champ doesn't dive all the way in or anything but I was able to get some shots of him jumping in the pool to fetch a toy. This is also the first instance where the slow, slow 5D was a challenge to use.

"I like your ship. She's a classic. Razor Crest, am I right?"
My Midi-Scale collection keeps expanding with more than a classic piece of spaceship, the legendary Razor Crest from The Mandolorian.
Made of 1,230 pieces, 30cm long, this baby ST-70 Gunship has a total of... zero stud across its entire surface, making it a true 100% SNOT build.
At such a size, replicating all the complex angles and features of the original model required advanced SNOT techniques. I really wanted to push the limits of what could be done at such a small scale.
Capturing the tapered body also required making a very compact 2 stud wide structure that could still hold everything together securely.
The ship has two display modes, "in-flight" with its canted stand, and "landed" with easy-to-install landing gear.
► Instructions for the Razor Crest are available at BrickVault!

Week 2 for the killdeer nest in mulch. This mama's wise choice is working well for her. She kept silent & didn't do a broken wing dance when I walked by. She did stand up so I was able to see all 4 eggs under her. No 2nd parent that I've seen at this location.

Venice, Italy. The locked gate seems inappropriate. At first it appears that the Madonna and Child are prisoners. Instead the gate merely prevents tampering with the small shrine, meaning that the objects have some intrinsic value to its creator.
This guy/gal either had complete confidence in his/her ability to escape harm, or knew I was no threat.
How secure is this slope?
That's a question with a price of one life. For a week after the last snowfall, it was avalanche danger 3, but it regressed now to danger 2. So, it SHOULD be good.
It is never trusting to see that is nobody else on the mountain. But the avalanche conditions were very secure. No risk ! This snow was in fact fully ice crusted and this is probably the reason why the mountain is so empty : difficult snow ! Very fast with a dangerous tendency to block any turning attempt with skis.
There is also a satisfaction to achieve difficult turns and be able to go, even if is not easy.
British History - Magnificent North Entrance - Westminster Abbey, London, England.
The north side of the church is supported by nine buttresses, each of five gradations, with pointed windows between them; the buttresses are connected with the clerestory of the nave by slender arches, and the wall finishes with battlements.
The great door of the northern transept is an arch sprung from four large pillars on either side, with foliated capitals. The wall is of considerable thickness, and on each side of the great door it is formed into two arches by handsome pillars; the lesser entrances to the aisles are four pillars in depth, with ribbed roofs, having figures of angels at the intersections of the ribs. Above the doorways is a colonnade or range of pierced arches. Four massive buttresses secure the front; those at the angles terminate in octagons, and are connected with the upper part of the walls, over the side-aisles, by strong arches. Between the colonnade and the point of the roof is a beautiful "rose window," which was rebuilt in the year 1722. A great part of the north transept was rebuilt in 1828. "Time was," writes Mr. Charles Knight, "when this front had its statues of the twelve apostles at full length, and a vast number of other saints and martyrs, intermixed with intaglios, devices, and abundance of fretwork; and when, on account of its extreme beauty, it was called 'Solomon's Porch;' and now, even injured as it is, the whole forms a rich and beautiful façade."
The north transept became known as Statesmen's Aisle following the burial of Prime Minister William Pitt, Earl of Chatham in 1778. Here also can be found the graves of Charles James Fox, William Gladstone and Lord Palmerston and memorials to Benjamin Disraeli and Sir Robert Peel among others. The stained glass in the north rose window was designed by Sir James Thornhill in 1722, although it was altered in the late 19th century by J.L.Pearson. The three small chapels on the eastern side of this transept contain some fascinating monuments including that by Roubiliac to Lady Elizabeth Nightingale (pictured) which shows a skeletal figure of Death emerging from a cavern to aim his dart at the dying lady.
In the north ambulatory can be found the large memorial to General James Wolfe. The upper Islip chapel was dedicated as the Nurses Memorial chapel in 1950 in memory of UK and Commonwealth nurses who died in the 1939-45 war (this chapel can be viewed on application to the information desk). Many fine Elizabethan monuments can be seen in St John the Baptist's chapel and St Paul's chapel, including the tallest monument in the Abbey (36 feet) to Henry Carey, Lord Hunsdon.

This female hairy dragonfly (Brachytron pratense) was busy laying her eggs on surface debris which allowed me to get close enough for a shot.
This one is pretty easy to identify as it flies so much earlier than all other large dragonflies here in Sweden.
A view down the side of one of the open atriums within Bell Works in Holmdel, NJ. Bell Works is the two million-square-foot building formerly known as "Bell Labs," where Bell employees did foundational research that led to discoveries and advancements in transistors, lasers, the Unix operating system, the C programming language, and CCD technologies. Several noble prizes were awarded to the teams who worked here back in the day.
Today, Bell Works is a re-imagined workspace, nicknamed the "Metroburb", featuring floors of private offices that overlook a giant atrium area full of specialty shops, restaurants, a basketball court, both Dental and Medical offices, an indoor virtual driving range, art gallery space, escape rooms, the Axelrod Performing Arts Academy, and the Holmdel branch of the Monmouth County Public Library. They are open to the public from 6:00 AM to Midnight each day, and it's a great place to walk some laps in bad weather in a safe, secure environment.

If you're a bus enthusiast a stroll down Edinburgh's Annandale Street or if you're in Birmingham, Miller Street, can bring out something new and the other day was no exception. Lothian are now more seriously into their program of securing a substantial electric fleet and further 'hybrids' have now arrived. These are in a more traditional version of livery, with more gold added (why not!), however still missing from the interesting design is red - a piping of which adorned Edinburgh's last substantial eco-friendly fleet - the old trams! I believe this fleet, SK67 FLD etc, will be named 'Lothian Electric' no doubt 'Transport for Edinburgh'will be added at some place on these machines.
The new arrival comes well secured on a Volvo transporter, and brought to mind the now old song 'Hitchin' a ride' by Vanity Fair which became popular in 1969 - a long time before electric buses were dreamt about! It also brings to mind a question for Edinburgh's councillors who at this time are thinking of continuing a tram line into Leith for what they believe will be a huge sum of £165 million - and that just for the civils. Wonder if they know the price of these new buses as the roads the buses will use are already there!
Since this photo was taken in May, several storms have lashed Sunset Beach. The rapid wave erosion bites within a metre and a half of the actual building, the dunes and art fence have gone as is the gate and fence seen middle and right. All of the lower carpark has now gone and the upper car park has has been fenced off to the corner of the community hall, upper RH, its size reduced by a third, following last weekend's storm.
The surf tower has yet again to be moved to a more secure site within a few days...unless this weekend's westerly storm has managed to erode more.
For more visual information see other images of the shifting position of the surf tower and erosion in this album.
