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.
The super heat brings the Sunflowers. They seem to swoon in it. Thanks for the look and have a great Tuesday Evening.
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!
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...

Solar Impulse, the solar aircraft built in Switzerland circled the globe. One stop was at Moffett Federal Airfield at NASA Ames in Mountain View, California earlier this year in May. I got an invite to witness this historic flight.
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 quietly and suddenly. I took this shot shortly before 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
I processed a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposure, carefully pulled the curves, and desaturated the image.

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.

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.

ODC. Electricity. Solar power provides only .4% of the electricity in the United States. Some sources predict it could be the world's top source of electricity by 2050.
Two views of one of the interesting technological sights as you head closer to Port Augusta. This is Sundrop Farm - consisting of this amazing 127 metre tall solar collector tower, combined with 24,000 mirrors aiming the plentiful sunlight at the collector. It produces electricity to provide power for desalination of the salt water from the nearby Spencer Gulf and provide heat and cooling to the 200,000 square metres of greenhouses, all of which help produce a continuous and sustainable supply of food. I believe, if you have eaten truss tomatoes purchased from Coles supermarkets, there is a good chance that they were grown right here. There is some great information and video of this amazing place on the Sundrop Farm website if you are keen to learn more. I was suitably amazed.
Being a very long lens, and taken from some distance away, this has picked up the amazing shimmering heat haze being generated on the day, and highlights how much the sun can heat the area when it was only a mild 18 degrees C.
Thanks for stopping by and view this photo. The reason for posting this photo on Flickr is to learn so if you have constructive feedback regarding what I could do better and / or what I should try, drop me a note I would love to hear your input.

1 Bligh Street was completed in 2011 and is a 27 level sustainable elliptically designed office space in the heart of Sydney’s CBD.
It has been awarded a 6 star green star rating - the highest awarded in NSW.
90% of all the steel used in the project contains more than 50% recycled content.
All the timber and plywood used in the structure is recycled from FSC accredited sources.
94% of all the construction waste (37,000 tonnes) has been recycled.
80% of all PVC-type products have been replaced with non-PVC materials.
One of the main features is a 135m naturally ventilated atrium.
The building also features floor-to ceiling double-skinned glass.
The cavity between the the two skins has an aluminium louvred sunshade system that is computer controlled.
This process reduces air-conditioning usage by 50% and controls the light in the building.
At the top of the building is a stunning roof top timber terrace.
The roof also features 500sq. metres of glass-tubed, steam creating, solar collectors.
The building generates approx. 25% of its energy consumption via a tri-generation plant using solar and gas.
This plant produces energy for electricity, heating, & cooling.
On the ground floor is a glazed and naturally ventilated wintergarden.
1 Bligh Street also features a dedicated child-care facility, two cafes, and a car park for 96 cars.
Below ground level is an innovative black water recycling system that provides 90% of the building’s water requirements.
The City of Sydney council granted 1 Bligh Street with the first licence in the CBD to extract sewage from the mains for recycling for private use.
All the rainwater that falls on the building is also collected for usage. The building produces 100,000 litres of clean water per day.
The office complex also features Australia’s largest vertical garden on its southern side which is 40m long and features approx. 11,000 plants.

Sydney Open.
A bi-annual event run by Sydney Living Museums in conjunction with the Sydney Architecture Festival.
50 buildings around the heart of Sydney open their doors to the public.
Some of these buildings are not usually open to the public.
Purchasing a ticket called City Pass gives you access to these buildings for a full day.
There are also special Focus Tours that provide guided tours of more restricted buildings.
In 2014 these included tours of Harry Seidler buildings and also historic places like the Tank Stream & the QVB Dome.
Free courtesy buses provide transport for the event.
I spent the day hanging out with Ian Burrows and had a great time.
Ian does great some work & you can check out his photography here: Beetwo77
