Fantasy at cold winter night.
A strange spaceship has just landed on the earth.
It had already got dark when I arrived at the vacant lot near Tokyo Bay.
The moonlight, however, had the unexpected effect on my photography.
I’m sure that windless, cold and deserted winter night is the best condition for long exposure, though it’s very rare to meet such ideas.
Here is Miura “Fishy” Fishweasel, my tiny black cat.
This little cat loves getting in my windows while I’m trying to work. She fits perfectly through my spaceship doors and down the little hallways. She is gentle enough to navigate my scenes without knocking dolls over, so I am very tempted to make her a character on the mothership...
I have a few behind-the-scenes shots of her sitting around on the ship with the dolls.
This is Tejon Ranch property along Hwy 223. We have always thought that a spaceship landed here and hide itself it plain sight by covering up in earth & grass in the middle of a pasture. It really does have the shape of a 1950's toy model spaceship.
Tejon Ranch Company (NYSE: TRC), based in Lebec, California is one of the largest private landowners in California. The company was incorporated in 1936 to organize the ownership of a large tract of land that was consolidated from four Mexican land grants acquired in the 1850s and 60s by ranch founder General Edward Fitzgerald Beale. The company now owns over 270,000 acres (1,093 km2) in the southern San Joaquin Valley, Tehachapi Mountains, and Antelope Valley. It is the largest contiguous piece of private property in the state. Tejon Ranch’s agricultural operation primarily grows almonds, pistachios, and wine grapes, along with some alfalfa and the occasional row crop. Cattle leases cover about 250,000 acres (1,012 km2), and depending on the season, up to 12,000 head of cattle can be found grazing on the ranch.

The winter transformation is upon us here in Massachusetts!! The water is changing form and the shapes and compositions are unique and fleeting. This particular form, causes by the water level dropping causing a rock below the surface to force it's way up through the ice, lasted but one day. Rain, snow, or warming temperatures constantly change the winter landscape. I arrived at this location in the dark to witness one of the most spectacular light shows I have ever seen. Thanks for viewing and Happy Holidays!!!
Yesterday I hosted Christmas, so toady is my day of to relax - by building spaceship rides.
Yeah, Benny was pretty excited by that.
Call me a glutton for punishment, but I really enjoy photographing Spaceship Earth with a telephoto (or a super-telephoto) as much as I enjoy shooting it with an ultra-wide angle lens. The Alucobond has such personality that you can't capture wide, but it shows up when you're tight.
Joshua is investigating an old spaceship shaped coin-operated ride. Not much room inside for anyone very large. This ship is part of the sign and pump collection we found in Provo.

While I’m not a fan of the legacy stones and would much prefer the classic EPCOT Center entrance plaza, I think they sometimes photograph well. I was really hoping to capture some monorails on the tracks, but they had stopped running about 10 minutes prior.
Something scavenged from old mocs lying in my "To sort" box. I've left a few notes describing bits and whatnot.
D is for... dark orange?
This spaceship is based on the alphabet starfighter project that my son and I began last year.
Some of these ships are based on past Lego themes, others are designed around a play feature, for letter "D" I wanted to use the Lego color dark orange. The complement color I like best for dark orange is medium azure. Using these two colors as staring points, I gathered what limited elements I had. The design of the ship was largely based on what cool elements I had in those colors. Because there weren’t any real play features, I included some homing missiles that Elliot could use to "pew" the enemies.
Backstory:
One cold weekend afternoon, I was looking for something to do with my four year old in the house. We went to our Lego room, "What do you want to build?", "A spaceship," Star Wars obsessive Elliot answered, "an E-Wing!" I knew that the Lego fan site From Bricks to Bothans held a letter based starfighter contest years before, but I was willing to give it our own try.
During the build I developed our own set of self imposed RULES:
1. The ship has to be in the shape of the letter
2. It must be strong enough for a four year old to play with it without breaking
3. The primary color and cockpit location are chosen by Elliot
4. Any piece Elliot finds (that matches the color scheme) MUST be incorporated into the build
5. What Elliot says, goes. So if he wants a play feature or design element, I had find a way to make it happen
As the project progressed the builds became more and more complex and the rules became more flexible. We finished the letters of Elliot's first and middle names and now we are working our way through the remaining letters.
Don't forget to have some fun out there!

So, apparently there is an adult movie star named Christy Mack who said on twitter she'd like to trade some of her valuable time and saliva for a nice Lego creation to put in her house. That kinda got me thinking. What kind of model would she like? A train layout? A mosaic? Something girly, like a dollhouse? A brick-built vase of tulips?
After a couple of minutes of hard thinking I thought, screw it, I'll build a spaceship. I mean, everybody loves spaceships, right?
In the first scene of Star Wars, we see a small spaceship pursued by a much larger monolithic star cruiser which keeps coming and coming and coming. When I look up at the enormous buildings in London today and flip the image upside down, they remind me of these star cruisers...
An alternate build of the Benny's Spaceship set. We had an alt build build-off at Brickfete 2014 and this was my result: The Benny Race Car
The car does roll, and pretty well considering it has no traction or tires for that matter.
Just a quick shot of Spaceship Earth. The water spray is from the Fountain of Nations which is located in Epcot's plaza.

Spaceship Earth is a geodesic sphere that serves as the symbolic structure of Epcot, at the Walt Disney World Resort. One of the most recognizable structures of any theme park, it is also the name of the dark ride attraction that is housed within the sphere that takes guests on a time machine-themed experience using the Omnimover system.
The 15-minute dark ride demonstrates to guests how advancements in human communication have helped to create the future one step at a time. Passengers journey back in time to witness the origins of prehistoric man, then travel forward in time to witness important breakthroughs in communication throughout history—from the invention of the alphabet to the creation of the printing press to today's modern communication advancements, including telecommunication and mass communication. At the conclusion of the ride, passengers have the chance to design their own future using touch screens that are embedded into the ride cars.
Walking into Epcot with my family, the line of trees and flowerbeds caught my eye. I should have let them go ahead and waited for a monorail to enter the frame. There's always the next time. :-)
A small spaceship I imagine being some sort of exploratory vehicle operating out of a larger space station. The build was a fun vessel for messing with angles possible using cheese slopes,
My entry for BrickForge's "Cosmic Conflicts" contest.
Truth is that I am more of a Castle person, but I thought I'd give it a try.
The Spaceship for my outpost. Fits a fig. I had a hard time getting some of those angles to work :|
Also has a landing position wich will be shown on the Full Outpost pic.
