Since the huge refurbishment and upgrade the entrance and exit to the older, Victorian part of the NMS is now through this barrel-vaulted crypt-like basement which I am rather fond of (and which kind of demands a perspective shot like this!)
Since the beautiful Praça do Comércio was under construction, this nearby plaza was my consolation prize on my Lisbon trip. I loved the white buildings, pearl-white obelisk, and the triangular checkerboard stone. I also love when things are symmetrical!

Since last December, intercity passenger traffic on the Gäubahn has been partially modified as an intermediate step towards a complete overhaul in December 2019: the RE train, which used to run every two hours between Singen and Stuttgart, has been converted to an IC service with the new IC2 double-deckers (but regional tickets remain valid), while the existing through trains Zürich - Stuttgart will only be converted to IC2 in 2019 God knows when, if ever, and thus keep their SBB coaches for now - but they have (mostly) changed their locomotives for ÖBB Taurus locos of class 1116 on the German stretch. In September 2017, however, it was still a class 101 engine hauling IC 282 Zürich HB - Stuttgart Hbf between Singen and Stuttgart. The consist had been reinforced from 5 to 7 coaches due to the interruption at Rastatt and the resulting diversions for long-distance passengers via Stuttgart. Aistaig, 21-09-2017.
Since merida totally ruined her highland games dress,her mother queen elinor,commissioned another one to be made for her...same coloring but a different,yet more ladylike style :p
Since all we've had for the last couple of weeks is drab and gray, all I got is drab and gray, This color version looks very similar to the B & W I played with.
Hope you all have a great Friday and yes the pup helped on this one.
Large of black is better
Ever since hearing about the concept of trashing the dress, Jennifer was excited to do it. I photographed their engagement and wedding and then immediately she wanted to trash her dress and her police officer husband was all about letting her do it, and thought this morbid scene was so odd, but hey, you have to push the boundaries in order to create new territories, right?
So first we headed into the hills and had some fun frolicking in the tall grass, and then headed back to the beach at sunset for some wet & wild fun down there. She was such a trooper. Didn’t complain about the ticks in the field or the coldness of the water. And then after she saw the photos she emailed me a sweet thank you message. That’s all the justification I ever need for doing what I do.
Check out the rest of the session on my Facebook page and do me a favor and let me know via Likes or comments which one(s) I should post next.
Kthanksluvyoubuhbye!

Since taking up full-frame photography, I have found the Canon 35mm F2.0 IS USM to be a great all purpose lens. View other shots taken with this lens here.
Having watched Midland Red's progress with underfloor-engine single-deckers since 1945, many operators minimised their single-deck bus orders until manufacturers caught up. London Transport was by far the biggest operator in the UK and, once AEC introduced its Regal IV design, placed a massive order for 700 such buses. This was also significant for Birmingham coachbuilder Metropolitan-Cammell which won the body order for them, along with 450 bodies for double-deckers.
These buses, known in London as the RF class, were very robustly constructed and had long lives. They were originally operated with conductors but very suitable for conversion to driver-only operation.
London Transport central buses are famously red. Fleet No. RF 381 (registration MXX 23) was delivered in January 1953 to Sutton garage. Surprisingly, bearing in mind the entrance is ahead of the front axle, the red buses were not built with doors although they were fitted later. It was converted to a driver-only vehicle during its May 1965 overhaul.
It was one of the last RFs, retiring when 26 years old from Kingston garage in March 1979. It was sold for preservation and passed to to the Transport Museum, Wythall, near Birmingham, in 1994.
Since my last visit to Thanet, Stagecoach 17528 has been repainted into the newer style livery, using traditional East Kent Maroon & Cream. It looks rather nice in my opinion. The Dennis Trident is seen ascending Royal Parade, Ramsgate, as it heads out to the Boating Lake with the special 69 service.

Since Iris is the Greek goddess for the Messenger of Love, her sacred flower is considered the symbol of communication and messages.
Therefore the flower iris in the language of flowers symbolises eloquence.
A purple iris is symbolic of wisdom and compliments.
A blue iris symbolises faith and hope.
A yellow iris symbolises passion while white iris symbolises purity.
As you can see, the gift of iris can be used to convey many emotions.
Dutch irises are hybrids of two older varieties, giving it a look all its own.
The distinctive ‘fleur-de-lis' flowers come in a variety of blues, yellows, purples, and white.
Organic, sensual, all about shape and colour.
The Iris is just born elegance... extremely ephemeral, they barely last a few days, yet with unbelievable beauty and style.
Best to leave them in the garden... like so many of the bulbs!

When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love
When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love
I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
no doubt in my mind where you belong
I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love
The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet
I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the Earth for you
To make you feel my love

Ever since I met you no vacancy 🎶
This past summer I used oil pastels to create a scene depicting what I envisioned when I heard this OneRepublic single. Ever since then, I wanted to recreate this drawing as a Lego scene. However, I quickly realized how hard it would be to make a readable neon sign in minifig scale and eventually scrapped the idea...until last night. While listening to this song again, I found the inspiration I needed and reworked my vision for this build. This was unlike anything I've done before since the entire build is actually facing towards the sky. This was done so that the pieces making up the words can remain unattached to anything (ultimately simplifying the build). I really like how this came out and hope you enjoy this different type of build ✌️

It has been a week now since I said my last goodbyes and I-love-yous to my sweet, adorable, dearly beloved little kitty cat, Belle (aka HRH Miss Belle, The Baked Potato, HoneyB, BunnyB, Bumby, Bumbles, Baby Girl, Cutie Pants, Sweetness, Sweetpea, Little B, Little Peep, Stinky, et cetera); she had a lot of silly nicknames…
I think I’ve just been grieving too much to share the news in a public forum or write a proper tribute for her. She was my steadfast little companion for 15 years – from January 2001, when I first brought her home from the Milo Foundation right after the holidays, to January 20, 2016.
I don’t think it’s possible to love an animal more than I loved that diminutive little five-pound cat, that “absolutely precious cottonball” as my friend Mark recently called her; she was kind of like a Japanese anime character – and in fact she was part Japanese Bobtail... I miss her so much. I miss her every time I return home and she’s not right there behind the front door waiting to greet me as she always was, with her inquisitive gray nose and quivering little bobtail. (If she wasn’t right at the door, it was possible cause for alarm – like the handful of times she had sneaked into a closet and been accidentally closed up in there for an entire day.) I miss her when I get up in the morning and there’s no little being making demands on me – or just making conversation (she was a rather chatty cat, with all kinds of vocalizations that changed or evolved over the years). I miss her when I go to sleep at night and she doesn’t amble up her little ‘old lady’ stairs to knead around and plop down on top of or right next to me.
She was such a funny little cat. A veritable “Penelope persnickety” – everything always on her own terms – and high maintenance as all get-out, but also gentle and sweet and totally devoted. Have I mentioned how cute she was…? With her slightly crossed, bright blue eyes flic.kr/p/ndp8Hp and her crooked little bunny tail and her small kitten-like stature and her ridiculously soft fur. And oh my word, could she purr – like an outboard motor when she really got going.
As much as I adored her – for me it was love at first sight – she took quite a bit longer to decide if I was worthy of her… Sometimes I wonder what happened to her in the first nine [or so] months of her life before I adopted her; I suspect it wasn’t very good, as it took her a long time to fully trust me, and quite a few more years after that to trust other humans who weren’t me. (Although she wasn't one to hiss or scratch or bite -- almost never! That was not at all her style.) To my surprise she became almost gregarious in her old age, even though she was sick* for the last three or four years of her precious little life (*hyperthyroidism, liver disease, kidney disease/failure). And either in spite of, or because of her stubborn, willful ways she was a great teacher to me over the years – about patience and love and acceptance. I had so much love for her; she expanded my heart. And now my big heart feels broken in two.
This first month of 2016 has been the cruelest month; truly, I can’t remember the last time I’ve cried and grieved so much and for so long: first there was the death of David Bowie on January 10th (the most beautiful, extraordinary man to have fallen to earth); then another beloved cat friend, Mark’s & Kim’s Tony, on January 16th (Tony was the epitome of a "cool cat" flic.kr/p/5CWfUP); and then my darling Belle just four days after that on January 20th. I heard Mayor Bill de Blasio declared January 20th “David Bowie Day” in NYC. I’d like to think David and Tony and Belle are all frolicking together somewhere, swimming like dolphins, forever and ever…

Since I'm on a winter vacation this week, I figure I might check out a few virtual worlds outside of Second Life.
For some who may not know, Active Worlds is one of the oldest virtual worlds that is still online. It began in the mid 90's, so survived the dial-up days of the internet.
Of course, it's been updated quite a bit since then, as can be seen with the multimedia capabilities at this drive in scene. When you enter the area, the environment automatically goes to an early evening sky and lighting, and even the projector room has a light bloom come out of the window it is set up in. The movie doesn't seem to be streaming as much as uploaded, so can't say for certain if they have a live stream movie capability. But it's still pretty impressive considering that this type of media would be pretty much impossible during the early days. You were lucky if you could share .gif animated images back then. So yeah, pretty impressive update work here.
Note: I have come to consider places like Worlds and Active Worlds as being open virtual worlds. These were the pioneers of virtual spaces on the internet, and among the first to quote Snow Crash, even begin to coin 'metaverse' and web3.0 in trying to explain what they are. Therefore, any group that, in a general sense, speaks of themselves as an open world, open life, virtual world, web3.0, or hypergrid, seems appropriate appropriate groups to add them to. After all, these virtual worlds were very much ahead of the game and developed a lot of the aspects that make up our virtual world experiences even to this day. Not only did they have teleportation to different regions, but to different servers, even without utilizing a hypergate, but simply by teleporting to that server, as long as you had that server's coordinates. If you don't agree with this definition, let me know, and I won't post these in your group.
Dang!
They´re here!
The grunts are in this terretory, too. I thought I would be save here. That´s not good. I have to defend myself against these little beasts!
Some weaponry was in the drop pod. That might be helpful. And I´ve made a little barricade. That should make the whole thing a bit easier. But they know that I´m here. They saw my drop pod. They will sure search me. So I must be ready for the fight. Every single moment.
Well, nothing is impossible.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My second Halo ODST Moc!
Hope you like it!
Also, I´ve added some inspirations!
:-D
Also it would be nice, if you give me a feedback. Please leave a comment within you tell me what I did good and what not. Thanks.
If you like my work and wanna show it by inviting me to one of your groups, you are very welcome to do that, but please do not leave any graphic logos! I'll delete them.
Since we are out almost all day here in Greece - photographing, having fun and eating delicious food, I have only uplaoded a very few photos to my computer yet.
So here is another one of the Dalmatian pelican (Pelecanus crispus), from the first morning on the lake, right after sunrise.
We've seen nearly 40 bird species here, of which seven of them for the first time for me. So I look forward to show you even more of both the stunning pelicans and all the other species.
We have also tested and trained on many different photography techniques, settings and focal lengths on the pelicans - in all kinds of weather, like sunrises and sunsets, morning fog, still water, wind, waves, cloudy weather, sunshine, backlight and so on. Tomorrow I guess we will get them in some rain as well for the first time - which will also be cool.
So now I'm charging the batteries (and myself) for the last full day here, together with the other four photographers on the trip, our two wonderful, talented and lovable guides and teachers from the Moskusguiden company, and the charming and talented greek guides and drivers.

Since the age of 9 after watching Star Trek, I've always wanted a personal "transporter" in my room to provide an easy way to travel. Unlike those in Star Trek, mine would be self-contained and not reliant on anybody else to bring me back. The beamer would include a "return button" to carry and press in order to get back home. Having spare batteries would be very advisable.
Ever since I took this photo on a 35mm compact camera in the mid 90's I wanted to straighten a few of the shutter lines and centralise the tower a little bit.
When I first scanned the image I didn't know how to do this and also preferred it in B&W, here the image in colour with just a couple of tweeks, I may convert it to B&W again at some stage.
Every day we had to climb 100m/330ft of ropes to get to work, it took us 3 days to install the access up the cooling tower, thankfully there was only 8 of them!
Since the process seems to me to be
such a trip—I thought I’d post this
attempt to use a new palette with new
liquid watercolors( to add to ones I had) I had bought with money made
actually selling some of my work...I like to practically
immediately put back my “earnings” into my supplies......
first, when I sketched in ink the local scene---I was all
almost finished when I realized I hadn’t included the
front shadows which was the reason I liked the scene
so much—so not enough pre planning was done for
sure—but I didn’t toss it out—and sketched it again
with the shadows—then the new colors arrived and
I thought to practice with them on the first attempt.
I used regular watercolor brushes as I wanted to see
how they would work, a palette shaped plastic type
palette I had to clean others colors off for a fresh set
of colors... So much trial and error went into the
work—but that’s par for me anyway...if I had a set
plan it would go faster but the process would be
boring...I kind of like to see some work suddenly
showing me it was going to be alright—like a
Doctor assuring you...it was going to be what I felt
about the scene---which I feel was the
sun hitting a few areas and the rope in the tree
......I thought this would be done faster then it was
and the new sketch would be better for the
"practice"....famous last thoughts !
...maybe
Since getting this camera, I've not had a lot of opportunity to really take it out and see what I can do. I will say the little bit of time that have spent using it, leaves me speechless.
"what does that mean?" "What is a Brickhouse Model?" "How do I become a Brickhouse Angel, or Elite?" "Uhhh... Beautifuk? Thank you...what is Beautifuk? lol"
In the year and more since I started Flickr Photography and Modeling, and even more so after I took the Brickhouse nickname given me and made it a group concept... I get alot of questions about it. Some controversy in what I do and don't celebrate or allow as photo material, and more, simple questions about my look and my avatar, by very sweet admirers who ask for tips.
I've never gotten alot of favs... I've yet to break 200 that's ok, I put out photos of me for me, and what I like, and the same goes for my groups, Brickhouse... because now that is my true passion... taking photos of others like me, and posting them, and sharing what they post.
As indicated, Brickhouse started as a nickname, or stage name, back when I was dancing at clubs and Bachelor parties; Dj's started play Rob Zombie's version of the song when I'd come onstage and it grew from there. When I decided to make a group in Flickr, mostly to show off the many wonderful photos I saw others doing, it seemed a natural thing for me to name it "Brickhouse Avatars", because that is the kind of group I wanted... to celebrate not clothing, not romance, and certainly not porn. Just beautiful photos of jaw dropping avatars, men and women alike.
Before long I realized two things quickly; others liked it, and wanted to be members, and wanted to show off their own works in it. Not everyone who joined are what I would call Brickhouse personally...but that's ok... Beauty comes in all forms, Brickhouse is one of these, rather than the other way around, and if they wanna celebrate their own form of it, I'll enjoy it along with the rest :)
I added a second group, Brickhouse Elite, and kept it Invitation only, and choose photos myself from the main group to add to it. In this way, I can let members decide what they feel is right for the main group, and still celebrate my own interpretations.
So, what is Brickhouse?
Brickhouse is most definitely a select window into 'What is Beauty' or 'what is sexy'. This most certainly means not everything beautiful is Brickhouse -- and Brickhouse is equally certain not to be beautiful or even sexy by everyone's standards. In the photo above, I put some things related to what I consider Brickhouse, and use my avatar as the basis, with some catch phrases that have come along, and a few sticky noted, numbered and explained below... hopefully this will answer some of those questions, as well as explain why my rules choose to exclude some thing I do not consider right for it :)
1. Poses and settings
"All witchcraft comes from carnal lust, which is in women, insatiable."
~ The Malleus Maleficarum, Part I, Question VI
"she could teach the Devil a few things about Temptation"
Belle ❤

I'm not a photographer. I'm a graphic designer and model who does some photography of my own. Those are my strengths, in my own opinion, where this is concerned; making a desirable avatar, and modeling her for those who find her desirable. When I DO make photos, I choose poses that exemplify this, and photos that are often simple in nature, with alot of close-ups that celebrate the avatar rather than a setting.
2. The Look
"Tina Turner is someone that I admire, because she made her strength feminine and sexy. Marilyn Monroe, because she was a curvy woman. I'm drawn to things that have the same kind of silhouettes as what she wore because our bodies are similar."
~ Beyonce Knowles
Brickhouse is by no means meant to be 'realistic'... and not really even 'beautiful'. It's meant to be desirable, objectified, and lusted for. This is one reason I can include gorgeous men as well as woman... and also why I exclude some things like under or over developed attributes or gender bending... to avoid stepping too far away from things like "perfection", "Masculinity" or "Femininity". Brickhouse is sensuality and sexuality of the mind as well as body and soul, and that reflects how I built my own avatar and how I dress her... whether it's on a beach, in a club, roleplaying, and /or just being who I am.
3. The Body
"The android was designed as a sex doll, and therefore she was made into the perfect personification of feminine perfection... and then we added a few cup sizes to her breasts, and made her hips rounder and fuller, with a luscious, yet firm backside. Because men do not want perfection... they want better than perfection, and their hormones and eyesight is therefore wired this way..."
Author Piers Anthony, the Apprentic Adept Series
Heh, yes. The Brickhouse body is all about that... a fuller figure than 'perfection', with juicy and over developed (in some people's opinions) attributes, while still maintaining a gyminist or fitness perfection of tone and firmness. Not possible? Pssst, I don't care... This isn't the Real World, this is Brickhouse.
4. Those big bodacious bewbs
"Big, beautiful tits. Because you can't suck on a personality."
~ One of a gabillion memes celebrating big boobs
I've had so many people tell me they think my breasts are too big... they literally come from nowhere when I'm at Surfer's or shopping.. it always makes me laugh.
Why? because for every person who questions it, I have 50 who tell me how great they are... that's why. So suck it :D
I don't pay alot of attention to favs, I mentioned before... but I do notice what is faved. TC Tackleberry and I have talked about this... we are almost identical in shape, but she gets more ass favs and I get more boob favs... so there's no magic and no science... but I'll keep with what I have, tyvm... and Brickhouse will remain a home for the beautifully bodacious ^^
5. Dat Ass!
"Being a badass is fun, but having a great ass is better!"
~ Yet another choice from a gabillion memes on the topic
a lot of femininity comes from various aspects of our personality, our clothing styles, and even other objectified aspects such as eyes, breasts and hair. But ask most men what their eyes stay with the longest, and chances are, it's a great ass.
I've spent alot of time perfecting mine to what I want it to be... nips and tucks and tweaks and shimmies... everything from my shape to my skin to my clothing choice to my ao, and a few enhancers on top of that. I'm happy with it, and Brickhouse is definitely inclusive when it comes to objectifying a great base :)
6. The Face
"We can assume that Helen of Troy probably had many aspects of beauty... but history has reason to call her "The face that launched a thousand ships..."
As much as I love a gorgeous body on my avatar, it's a truth that I initially spent the majority of time creating the face as well. To me, the face of your avatar is really and ultimately who you are. I choose to exemplify as Brickhouse those who spend as much time and detail on beautiful faces, with amazing eyes, kissable, pouty lips, and yes, a glossy, glorious head of hair.
My obsession with Talena's face possible went into overdrive; I literally took Fantamorph, a photo morphing software, and morphed aspects from my favorite celebrities:
Eyes:
Angelina Jolie
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
Amber Heard
Gigi Hadid
Mila Kunis
Adriana Lima
Charlize Theron
Megan Fox
Catherine Zeta Jones
Kim Kardashian
Nose:
Jessica Alba
Blake Lively
Emma Watson
Meghan Markle
Zhang Ziyi
Kim Kardashian
Natalie Portman
Scarlett Johansson
Lips
Angelina Jolie
Kristin Davis
Drew Barrymore
Liv Tyler
Scarlett Johansson
Elizabeth Taylor
Jessica Alba
Ava Gardner
I then took the final result, and morphed it with Kim Kardashian, J-Lo, and Salma Hayek, my favorite Latinas, went dark eyed, and boom...that's the face of Talena :)
7. The Hair
A woman's hair is her true crown of beauty, and with it, she is a queen at all times."
~ Oribe Canales
I believe that quote, and I try to find hair that emulates those celebrities that have the hair I love best; Kim and Kylie, Priyanka Chopra, and Abigail Ratchford.
Hairstyles definatly play a part in what is Brickhouse.
8. Legs and Height
Short legs can be cute and sexy, but long legs give the best views for what you're reaching for...
~ Tall Girls Ad
If there was anything I would change about myself, it would probably be that I'm fated to be an amazon; Photos and trial and error have convinced me that no matter how often I've made myself shorter, I'll always go back. So be it, I'm tall :)
Fortunately, this is NOT a requirement of Brickhouse, for I have seen many of the Brickhouse best beauties who's successfully bridged the gap, and I will celebrate them always.
9. Catch Phrases and their meanings/origins
WWTD
'What Would Talena Do?' came about when I took a stab at some clothing designs to celebrate the name and trademarks. I wanted a simple phrase for the back of the undies that went with the shorts I made, and WWTD seemed the funnest that would fit...and wasn;t overly used like 'Daddy's Girl" and a host of others... I could call it Mine and Brickhouse's.
Brickhouse Goddess
This "title" given me is actually a combination of things. Brickhouse Elite and Brickhouse Angel were tags made for those who'd risen to those levels, so Darian suggested Brickhouse Goddess as my own title as Group Admin, since more than a few admirers were tagging me "The Goddess of Lust and Desire". I'm extremely grateful for those who have said so, and I hope this title is a good way to show it.
This Is How You Brickhouse
This came about during the WildBrick Event, when I wanted something to headline my booth and the ads I was creating for it. Eventually it became the tagline and pictorial series of Brickhouse Elite I'd been creating, which Darian, when he ran Brickhouse for awhile, took and revamped in his series of "Brickhouse Angels"...which happily, he still does today :)
It's Brickhouse, Bitch!
Yeah, I swiped it shamelessly from Britney :) The full phrase is actually "It's Brickhouse, Bitch, not Whorehouse!" and came about when I found that some of the guys who were joining Brickhouse were doing so purely to find and add models to their "Porn harms"... where they do not credit the models in their photos out of fear of losing them to other, probably better photographers. I was disgusted to see this happening, and made a statement...the statement has stuck, thankfully :)
Bueatifuk
This is most definatly my favorite catchphrase for Brickhouse girls ^^ It came about when a friend shouted "Talena, you're so Beautifuk!" -- obviously a typo, since "K" and "L" sit right next to eachother. Knowing this, but teasingly, I shouted back "What the hell is Beautifuk??" and without missing a beat, she hollered "Beauiful AND Fuckable!"
I decided this was the best description of Brickhouse I'd heard stated in a single word... and that's what it is today: Brickhouse is Beautifuk!

On 12.12.2024 it turned 3 years since my Wife passed away. I could have posted a different picture, but this series stuck in my mind. I spent some time searching for them in my back up files. Today i found it and selected this one in particular. We were about to go out shopping, the sunlight hit her bag on the handmade rug my Mum made. Fon was a smoker , John Player Blue. Her lighter had run out so she grabbed the kitchen lighter. Being too long it stuck out of her little hand bag. A fine example of her ability to adapt. 30 and 3 years later i am still trying to adapt to living with her and now without her.
This is a prime example of the power of photography, the ability to time travel with a visual memory. A sweet and sour treat to kick the brain cells into synapse overload triggering an emotional cascade. I pray the great algorithm in the sky really is bug free. Thank you to all my Flickr friends , keep taking great creative moments <3<3<3

Giovanni Pietro Rizzoli known as Giampietrino (documented in Milan since 1508; died in 1553) - Madonna and Child - Valtellinese Bedroom - Bagatti Valsecchi Museum, Milan
Il Museo Bagatti Valsecchi è una casa museo frutto di una straordinaria vicenda collezionista di fine Ottocento, che ha come protagonisti due fratelli: i baroni Fausto e Giuseppe Bagatti Valsecchi.
A partire dagli anni ottanta del XIX secolo, i due fratelli si dedicarono alla ristrutturazione della dimora di famiglia situata nel cuore di Milano: un palazzo tra via Gesù e via Santo Spirito, oggi al centro del quadrilatero della moda. Parallelamente, i due fratelli iniziarono a collezionare dipinti e manufatti d’arte applicata quattro-cinquecenteschi con l’intento di allestirli nella loro casa così da creare una dimora ispirata alle abitazioni del Cinquecento lombardo.
The Bagatti Valsecchi Museum is a historic house museum that is the fruit of the extraordinary collecting experience of two brothers at the end of the 19th century: Barons Fausto and Giuseppe Bagatti Valsecchi.
Beginning in the 1880s, the two brothers dedicated themselves to the refurbishing of their family home nestled in the heart of Milan: a mansion between via Gesù and via Santo Spirito, today the center of Milan’s fashion quarter. In order to create a home inspired by sixteenth century Lombard mansions. they also began collecting fifteenth and sixteenth century paintings and decorative arts for it.

This is the IMC variant of the Stryder Titan class from the game “Titanfall” (2014)
Altough I am not a huge fan of multiplayer games, I really enjoyed playing Titanfall. The Stryder class has always been my favourite, because it represents the speed and mobility of the game the best. And it just looks cool!
Since the legs are far too thin to hold it’s weight, I build a small stand.
Since I got a lot of nice compliments on the last picture, I went back and found some more from that set. Hope you like this one as well.
Utrecht is the fourth-largest city and a municipality of the Netherlands, capital and most populous city of the province of Utrecht. It is located in the eastern corner of the Randstad conurbation, in the very centre of mainland Netherlands, and had a population of 357,179 as of November 2019.
Utrecht's ancient city centre features many buildings and structures, several dating as far back as the High Middle Ages. It has been the religious centre of the Netherlands since the 8th century. It lost the status of prince-bishopric but remains the main religious centre in the country. Utrecht was the most important city in the Netherlands until the Dutch Golden Age, when it was surpassed by Amsterdam as the country's cultural centre and most populous city.
Utrecht is host to Utrecht University, the largest university in the Netherlands, as well as several other institutions of higher education. Due to its central position within the country, it is an important transport hub for both rail and road transport; the busiest train station in the Netherlands, Utrecht Centraal, is in the city of Utrecht. It has the second highest number of cultural events in the Netherlands, after Amsterdam. In 2012, Lonely Planet included Utrecht in the top 10 of the world's unsung places.
