24/365 Part II
A different version with less flare and more silhouette :)
Although I think I like the other one better :P
This one's cut off at the top >: /
And uh, more in the comments:
A bronze sculpture is by Irene Brown on the banks of the River Tyne at South Shield in North East England.
It was originally commissioned by South Tyneside Metropolitan Borough Council and represents a figure guiding ships safely into the river with one arm whilst raising her other arm in greeting.
The 'Spirit' is regarded as the protector – helping a ship through the seas safely to harbour.
The official description explains that she is the prow, the figurehead for South Shields' future and was completed as part of a project called 'Art on the Riverside'.
It was my Club's turn to host the Crouch Shield - an interclub photographic competition. I was behind the laptop running the projection of the images. Thanks to Sue for doing the scoring. Thankfully the evening went off without a hitch.
Was very lucky to have 2 of these bugs on the same flower, enabling the stripes on the top of the body and the spots on the enderneath part of body to be seen.
this was taken in Croatia.
Exposed granite bedrock of the Rouge (Red) River (aka Riviere Rouge in Quebec). During the spring runoff Mary would be under several feet of water. The Canadian Shield, also called the Laurentian Plateau, or Bouclier canadien, is a large area of exposed Precambrian igneous and high-grade metamorphic rocks that forms the ancient geological core of the North American continent

The Earth has a number of shields that make life on it possible, and those shields are also remarkably beautiful (see the galaxy shot posted earlier). Here the aurora display was very weak. A constant, predictable flow circumnavigating the magnetic north.

Shield bug on sea holly - the hot summer seems to have accelerated the dragonfly season - there were vey few on the wing yesterday and we were reduced to taking pictures of shield bugs which love to hide in the (now dry) sea holly flower heads
The season is winding down for these flowers and bugs.

This nymph has taken up residence in a canna lily flower. Its little wing buds are plane to see here.

A shield bug on pieris, taken with my trusty compact. Nice to see the insects returning to my garden again.
I haven't identified this shield bug yet, but I just love these strange little creatures. I saw several on holiday in Dorset recently.
A praia da Itapeva tem 6.000 metros de extensão e localiza-se após o Parque da Guarita, em Torres, Rio Grande do Sul. Tem esse nome devido ao Morro da Itapeva, que em tupi guarani significa “pedra chata”. Existe em Itapeva uma reserva ecológica e dunas. Distante cerca de 200km de Porto Alegre, é um local tranquilo e de poucas moradias.

okay, i've put away the rest of my chihulys and am moving on with other images.......found this gorgeous plant at joanie's house in lafayette, california.........
The Herd Groyne lighthouse at the mouth of the River Tyne.
In the background is Tynemouth; the setting for many scenes in the Vera TV series. If you believed what you saw on TV, you'd think Tynemouth was a hotbed of crime. Obviously, I couldn't possibly comment.
Image best viewed by pressing 'L' and closing your eyes. Very tightly. 😁
"Strobilanthes dyeriana (Persian shield) is a tropical plant native to Myanmar. It is grown for its dark green foliage with bright, metallic-purple stripes radiating outward from the central leaf vein. In proper conditions, it will also produce pale purple flowers. Persian Shield grows best outdoors in USDA zones 9 and 10, although it can survive in other zones as a houseplant given sufficient temperature, soil moisture and humidity. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit."
The cloisters date from between 1408 and 1414.
The vaulting originally contained some 856 heraldic shields, a design conceived when Thomas Arundel was Archbishop, during the reign of Henry IV and the beginning of the reign of his son Henry V.

飛行航母已經完成兩週年了，算是玩樂高創作以來非建物類最大型作品，長度140公分，寬度80公分，重量應該超過20公斤，零件數超過15000片，這個規模應該是很難超越的。
This SHIELD Helicarrier had been built for two years! It is one of the largest creation I ever built. It is 140-cm long, 80-cm wide, more than 20kg weight, and piece count over 15 thousand! This record is really difficult to break for me, but still hope I could make another record in the future.
剛好在最近幫航母搬家，正好拿去專業攝影棚拍照，之前都沒有辦法好好拍照做紀錄，趁這次就把所有角度都好好拍起來!
Before moving the Helicarrier to the new place for display, I took it to professional studio shooting. When I finished it two years ago, it is in a hurry to not take a good shot with this Helicarrier. Really sad at that time, but I'm glad I can do it this time!
回想當初只花了一個半月的時間建造完成，那時幾乎每天熬夜做。雖然最終把它完成，有些部分的小細節可能還有些缺陷沒處理完，但就像考試一樣，時間期限到了就算是結束了。
At that time, I spent one and a half month to build it, and burned the midnight oil almost every day! Although when I finished it, there are still some small faults to be taken care. However, it is like an exam with a time limit, done is done.
回顧完成這件作品的過程，裡面很多新嘗試的堆砌方式，像是飛行甲板的紋路是用積木堆砌出來，而非印刷；整艘航母的結構也是創舉，使用科技零件當作骨架，再用薄片零件全部包覆起來，更值得一提的是只用兩支科技件構成的柱子支撐起整件作品；最後一個特色是整艘航母是以點點人的比例去製作，包含航母上的昆式戰機也是，所以航母上面還可以看到復仇者聯盟的角色集合在甲板上。
Review the progress of this creation, I had used several new building methods(to me) on it, like the decks of the carrier, I use the SNOT method to build the pattern of fighter guide mark, which build parts laterally; The structure of the hull is made by technic parts to provide light and strong support to whole creation, and then use a lot amount of plate parts to create the curve shape of shell of carrier. What's a worth to be mentioned, the carrier is only supported by two thin yellow column also made by technic parts; The last feature is to build this creation in dot figures scale, which figure is made by two round plates, also including the Quinjets on the deck. Moreover, checking the deck, you can find out there are Avengers over there!
最後還是要感謝為這件作品提供幫助的朋友，必買的虎哥 Sheng-Fong Chiang 支持這件創作的完成； 謝政宏 在創作過程中的大力協助； Hsinwei Chi 幫忙這次作品的專業攝影照片!
Finally, acknowledge the assistance of my friends in this project: Sheng-Fong Chiang who supported this project, 謝政宏 who helped me build it during progress, and Hsinwei Chi who helped me to make these great shots!
