Solar Impulse, the solar aircraft built in Switzerland to circle the globe, took off in the early morning on May 2nd this year at Moffett Federal Airfield at NASA Ames in Mountain View, California. I got an invite to witness this historic journey around the world.
Founders and pilots Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg first addressed the press. André climbed into the cockpit for this leg to Phoenix, Arizona. The flight took 16 hours. I had a big tripod with me and could blend in with the press to get a prime spot for takeoff. Preparations were long, but the actual takeoff happened very quiet and sudden. I took this shot at the time of take-off at 5am in the morning.
Bertrand and André want us to use more clean energies. In their word, they want to push the transition to renewable energy resources. Very inspiring!
The aircraft has a wingspan bigger than a Boeing 747, but weights just 2 tons instead of 400 tons. To preserve weight and aerodynamics, this aircraft has no landing gears on the side. People hold the aircraft level on long poles until it gains enough speed. More info on this historic flight at www.solarimpulse.com

Well, I have just over 300 photos left after the new cap was added, so for one: check out my Instagram @lego_Stud for more photos.
TL:DR: I'm still here, I miss old Flickr, here's a cool robot I'm working on. Love you all!

Hey all, spent about 1/2 last year injured but I'm finally ready to MOC some, before our big exhibition Bricks Cascade in March.
Here's my WIP of an NCS Drone, yet untitled. Solar panels line the body for maximum energy absorption. Their many arms help aide astronauts in their survey and sample missions, and they can provide shelter in extraterrestrial environmental emergencies. The body will be full of scientific equipment play-features, and so far the whole thing is very stable, as I am focusing on models that I can more easily share with fans. So far I've taken it to 3 of the LEGO programs I have led this year without incident.
Yes, those are minidoll necklaces on a sprue . ;)
P.s. already fixed A few color swaps and I've gotten the legs outfitted with wheels, like my M.A.N.T.I.S. drone, so hopefully some finished photos soon! Again, with the limits of no-pro (I can barely afford my bricks... Eesh) I'll probably just use this site for finished works. If you wanna keep up, HMU on Insta for now. Thanks!
Happy New Year y'all. Let's make it awesome!
There was just something about the momentary cloud formation in conjunction the the solar farm that made me reach for my camera.

Right before sunset, the mountains are going dark but enough light still illuminated the towers. just a few minutes later, they simply blinked black. very very strange.
One of the towers and heliostats at the Ivanpah Solar Project, owned by NRG Energy, Bright Source Energy, Bechtel and Google.
More than 300,000 software-controlled mirrors track the sun in two dimensions and reflect the sunlight to boilers that sit atop three 459'-tall power towers.
When the concentrated sunlight strikes the boilers’ pipes, it heats the water to create superheated steam, providing electricity to 140,000 California homes.

Off grid solar power systems, also known as standalone solar power is a great solution for those who are unable to connect to the local electricity network, face high grid connection costs, or those who are simply looking to be completely power independent. An off grid solar power system typically costs two to three times the price of a grid connect solar power system, and while being off the grid sounds great it might not be the most practical solution if you can connect to the grid. Read more about grid-connected solar power systems here. Off grid system pricing starts at around $15,000 (which would power a small summer time batch), so for those who are currently not connected to an electricity network and to do so would cost over $15,000 then an off grid solar power system is a great option. The reason why off-grid systems are quite a bit more expensive is because of the batteries and the system controlling the batteries. Although battery technology is constantly improving and getting a lot cheaper. Read more here> - See more at: www.mysolarquotes.co.nz/about-solar-power/residential/abo...

Another capture of the wonderful Sunset this evening and managed to get to a location shooting straight into the Power Lines enabling me to name this Image Solar Power.
A sky like this in January in these parts means only one thing: it's cold. Real cold. At least it's bright and sunny...
This is the northernmost point of New Zealand, where the Tasman sea meets the Pacific Ocean - resulting in some interesting patterns in the water. This lighthouse is an iconic beacon for all those arriving on these shores - though as I'll explain later, this particular shore is more associated with departure...

Urban Light is a 2008 large-scale assemblage sculpture by Chris Burden that stands in front of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The installation consists of 202 restored street lamps from the 1920s and 1930s. Most of them once lit the streets of Southern California.
The cast iron street lamps are of 17 styles, which vary depending on the municipality that commissioned them. They range from about 20 to 30 feet (6 to 9 meters), are painted a uniform grey and placed, forest-like, in a near grid. The lights are solar powered and switched on at dusk. Writing in the Los Angeles Times, Susan Freudenheim described the restored lamps as displaying "elaborate floral and geometric patterns" at the base, with "fluted shafts and glass globes that cap them...meticulously cleaned, painted and refurbished to create an exuberant glow.

Sunrise/Solar/Energy/Transmission/Transportation - IMRAN™
During my recent visit to Pakistan, my brother were being driven to Islamabad from Lahore for a quick short trip for meetings he and I both had to attend coincidentally on the same date, We still had a 4-hours drive ahead of us. As we drove towards the motorway (expressway) I was trying to catch a picture of the sunrise (my mistake on the title) through the moving vehicle with lots of traffic around city roads. There were also lots of power transmission lines running parallel to the city exit road. If you can't lick 'em, join 'em, I thought. Making the best of an impossible situation of capturing a sunset by itself, I tried to capture it silhouetting one of the massive high voltage power transmission line towers. I got that timing pretty tight, but I could not prevent a rickshaw (three-wheeled Italian style mini-taxis notorious for their terrible fumes and pollution, until a lot of them converted to liquid natural gas. I was tempted to delete the photo, but suddenly it dawned on me.... pun intended... Sunrise, Solar, Energy, Power, Transmission, Transportation, all in shot, made more surreal by the motion blur of an unknown rickshaw driver caught in silhouette.

Minha primeira tentativa de splatter que "funcionou", não ficou como eu imaginava, mas não ia refazer nem a pau :P
Eu queria umas manchas mais fininhas, acho que da próxima tento com menos esmalte ou assoprar mais de longe...
Usei: Duas camadas do Purity (Zoya) para funcionar como a minha "tela" e assoprei o Green With Envy (Orly), Solar Power (ChG) e You're Such a Kabuki Queen (OPI). Finalizei tudo com o topcoat da Ideal.
Operations image of the week:
ESA’s deep-space ground station at New Norcia, Western Australia, is now being powered in part by sunlight, thanks to a new solar power ‘farm’ completed in August 2017.
The farm has 840 photovoltaic panels arranged in five double rows with a rated capacity of 250 kW. This is expected to generate 470 MWh of electricity annually, about 40% of the station’s annual needs and equal to the electricity needed to power 134 typical households.
