As you might have seen already I've built a few warships in the past. But for me those ones weren't good enough which is why I of course had to build another one. The main change I did was making the size a little bigger. Both the lower red part, the grey section and the buildings on top are higher now, which was definitely a good decision. The only thing that's bothering me is that in my opinion the back part is to short compared to the rest of the ship.
But overall I'm quite happy with how this ship turned out. Let me know what you think about the build and how I could improve it!

The month of July in Nebraska is mostly just outflow storms from about mid June on. Meaning extremely strong outflow winds in front of this storm. Destructive that evening with winds over 60+ mph.
Once the storm base moved closer I was able to get some incredible cloud to ground strikes that would make for some of the best lighting captures of 2018. Like clock work I expected a late night storm with some phenomenal definition.
Beautiful crystal blue lightning illuminated the night as the arcus (shelf cloud) approached from the due west. Severe warnings were in place & right in my direction. Got to my location, set up the gear and went to town... Nothing but Crystal Blue Thunderstorm Eye Candy!!!

An agave that has finished blossoming punctuates this shaded limestone shelf. In the distance is the canyon’s north rim.

Well, that's it for my long series on the great shelf-cloud that
we witnessed in June of this year, during a worldwide pandemic.
Was hard to believe that after 'this-shot' above, my first photo,
it would turn into the most amazing extreme-weather shoot
of my life. Incredible to see. Thanks for looking - End Series

Macro Mondays-Best With Holiday Is....Decorations!
My little Shelf Elf is one of my favourite Christmas decorations!
I ended up getting soaked after this capture. Crazy shelf cloud over the city of Toronto from the Leslie Street Spit today.
My many books, my many friends. They take me out of myself - they help, they listen.
(The doctor who book is on loan from my nephew - still haven't read it yet.)

I decided to get rid of the giant Ikea shelf in the living room and build my own. Thanks to Matt for the clever design for the sliding doors.

I'm going to stay on this 'great-night' for a while, if you don't
mind. I got far too many 'great-keepers' to let them pass and
get buried in the archives. It was the best night of the year
(so far) with its amazing sunset/weather-phenomena and the
shelf-cloud. Only the second shelf-cloud I've ever seen in South
Florida. So bear with me for a little while, and thanks for looking.

In the early morning hours an active MCS (Mesoscale Convective System) over the English Channel moved to the southern NorthSea. Near the Dutch coast it collapsed, but as a last sigh it pushed this shelfcloud over the western part of Holland.
I was almost too late because the shelfcloud was detached from the precipitation core and running a 10-20 km ahead of it....
This "Empire" shelf clock with 8 day brass movement was made by The Forestville Manufacturing Co. of Bristol, Connecticut. circa 1845 This huge, weight driven clock is 41 inches tall.
Really appreciated the structure of the shelf cloud as lowlight illuminated the field in the foreground. Best kind of contrast.
Same view everyday.
Wish they'd point me somewhere interesting. I mean... how hard would it be to leave my frame pointed at some wonder of the world? But no.. I have to spend my life looking at the kitchen.
I rarely bother to look out now. Hardly seems worth the effort.

Thanks all for the most excellent comments. It was a laugh making the photo and took very little PP effort even if it looks like a lot. I took over 100 torturous photos of myself trying to get the angle right for the frame, whilst being in focus and pulling an expression that was vaguely appropriate. Check the photo next in my photo stream for a small montage of face gurning.
If anyone is mad enough to follow suit, it's a simple enough approach....
It took me a while to realise that it would be far easier to make sure my fingers didn't go over the edge of the frame. That meant that I could cut the frame out perferctly without any crazy selection wizzardry - fancy stuff still befuddles me.
I copied the contents of this selection and pasted it into a picture of the frame and shelf that I had taken previously. Then I needed to drag the corners a little to make sure it fully lined up. The 100 or so photos were needed because if I was a little bit off with the frame geometry, I'd end up with a stretched looking face.
Getting the lighting right was simply a case of thrusting my head into almost exactly the same position that the frame was in on the shelf. I was careful to make sure the original picture of the frame wasn't in shadow and was far enough forward. That way, I'd be able to get my head somewhat close to the required position when I was jamming it through the picture frame.
Another tip: Bend the little bits of the frame that secure the glass in, back into the frame. I have a lovely little cut on my forehead from a rather exuberant frame frollick.
The only real tweak was to use the burn tool to darken the edge between my face and the frame. There was a bit of light coming through and it didn't exactly make it look convincing.
Anyway, Matron has just called me.. she has some new pills. These ones (she promises me) taste of wishes.

I know you'd love to:
I love books and I have lots of them! I keep an account of my books (in detail) and sort them by author...
There's one problem: I have to resort my books every 2 to 3 months because i'm buying new ones continously =) I know this is kind of weird because it's lots of work but it makes me happy to spend time with them....
Some details:
Number of books: 220
Not finished: 32 (i don't finish books that are really bad...)
Not german: 25
Mangas: 53
Just for school: 8
My favourites: "Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Bronte, "Alaizabel Cray" by Chris Woodings, "Stierhunger" by Linda Stift and all books from Sujata Massey!

Not ever thunderstorm creates a shelf cloud. Usually of the 100 or so individual storms that move through Cheyenne, Wyoming a year, less than a hand full ever border on supercell strengthen to generate one.
Photographed these Shelf clouds at Circle B Bar Reserve in Polk County Lakeland Florida U.S.A.
An arcus cloud is a low, horizontal cloud formation. Shelf clouds are one type of arcus clouds. A shelf cloud is usually associated with the leading edge of a thunderstorm.
Saw this very strange, scary looking sky formation while on my way home from a short day trip last Wednesday. I have a number of shots of it and it got stranger looking by the minure as I drove farther northwest on Route 480. At first the dark area looked a little bit like the funnel cloud of a tornado. :-) It didn't start to dissipate until I turned right off 480 and headed east. Earlier in the day, the sky had been perfectly blue with only the occasional fluffy white cloud. But by the time I saw this, the sky was completely white.
The closest thing I can find like this to compare it to are shelf clouds. But that's debatable.
