Another shot from my trip to Scale Haw Force, Hebden, North Yorkshire - beautiful at any time of year!
Cone scales, possibly from a Noble Fir, seen along the Rattlesnake Mountain Trail.

That plateau on the foot of this waterfall just seemed to be destined to have my freind stand there and give some scale :)
Scale force waterfall has a drop of 120 feet been after this for a while now early start 2 hour drive half hour walk and a 2 minute slippy clime up a rock face and to be created by this beauty
With the disused lines into Chatterley Valley opencast in the foreground 56105 rolls towards its destination at Pinnox Sidings near Longport with 6K38 from Crewe Basford Hall. Personally I wouldn't usually include a mast at the side of the line but with three blokes scaling it, thought it was too good to miss.

One factor in what i call "true minifig scaling" is not to just keep the minifig height in mind, but also the fact that the original minifigs low hip joints might create the impressions of tires being "too large" for a vehicle. I also forget that fact myself sometimes, since i often place minifigs next to my vehicles. However, if you keep using the realistically proportioned "human fig" as a template next to your MOC, selecting the right tires/rims for your vehicles wont be any trouble.
This year marks the 200th birthday of this great Austrian composer. Here you can see the Bruckner bust in Vienna's Stadtpark, which was unveiled three years after Bruckner's death.
Bruckner ‘was an Austrian composer of the Romantic period as well as an organist and university teacher. Only recognised by his contemporaries late in life, he was nevertheless one of the most important and innovative composers of his time and his works had a great influence on music history well into the 20th century.
His most important and probably best-known compositions are his large-scale eleven symphonies.’

Flickr Friday theme Scale. Cookie lost a bet with Rusty and had to pay his weight in cookies. I think he cheats. Has a his hand on the scale. Happy Flickr Friday. the old photographer,;-)
A line of hikers making the ascent. Also reminds me of the 'ants go marching...'
Bonus points if you see the two hikers descending.
Thanks for looking!

NGC 5907/5906 - The Splinter or Knife-edge Galaxy - is another classic edge-on Spiral Galaxy displaying a prominent dust lane that is located 54.5 million light-years away in the constellation of Draco.
I shot this because I thought it would be an interesting comparison to the galaxy NGC 4565, which I recently published.
This was shot over 3 evenings on the nights of 5-29-22, 5-30-22, and 5-31-22.
During this period of time, there were a lot of drifting thin clouds. Since this galaxy is small and my image scale on this shot was a bit on the low side, I had to be very careful to use only the best frames in integration to ensure a sharp and detailed image. While this reduced my total integration, I think it helped with the detail level of the resulting image.
This was shot with my Astro-Physics 130mm f/8.35 APO sitting on an IOptron CEM60 mount, sporting a ZWO ASI260MM-Pro camera.
The story of the image and complete processing walk-through can be seen on my website at:

Thanks for looking, and let me know if you have any questions!

From time to time i post these scale comparissons.
Old Sets make us feel nostalgic - but i also think that overall the scale back then helped a lot. A 4 wide car compared to a 6 wide train made sense. The Vehicles were not as big as today (8w Speed champs!), used less parts - but still, they felt right. Using modern elements you can get a higher level of detail in a similar scale, which is known as 1/43 - 1/45 scale. Once you see a proportinate Minifigure next to the Minifigs we have today since the 1970ies, you can see why a smaller scale is actually better (except playvalue!).
If you do cars 4-5 wide, Trucks 6-7 wide and Trains 8 wide - you are technically in the proper minifig scale (height based!).
EB CN grain train G898 is on its knees as it climbs out of the Mississippi River valley. The train is cresting the highest elevation on the railroad ( in the state of Illinois ) at Scales Mound. The train could be heard 15 minutes before it arrived. Thanks to Craig for the intel.
I would have preferred a 50mm shot off the road bridge that I am on, but there is a thick wire going across the tracks. I am standing on the roof of my truck, in order to get above the wire. No way to get below the wire.

Shun Ping Street Murals
Shun Ping Street is located near the old fire station. Its name suggests good luck and wellbeing. Along the street, there are two murals depicting the deity-thanking ceremony, a traditional cultural event in Sha Tau Kok. To date, Sha Tau Kok residents still celebrate the Tin Hau Festival annually, and a large-scale ceremony takes place every 10 years. In the murals, you can see one of the most distinctive celebrations — the dragon boat dance performed by Hoklo women.
I thought I'd have an outing before my area goes in to Covid Tier 3 tomorrow. Revisited Scale Haw Force hoping, this time, for some autumnal colours but suspect I'd missed the best of it.
