The Sarcophagus
I found myself resting in a cryo unit that resembled a sleek, high-tech sarcophagus. The outer shell is made of brushed metal and glass, while inside, glowing, self-weaving nanotech fibres are tightly wrapping around my body. All I could think of were ancient Egyptian linen bandages. My face is partially obscured, but I can feel the signs of distress etched across. The lighting around me is dim, bathed in cold blue and amber instrument lights. How did I get into it, and why am I seeing myself in the revival cocoon?

The Anomaly homes a little-known station
Within the vast, unpredictable expanse of the Anomaly, a faint and enigmatic station exists, its signal barely perceptible to all but the most advanced receivers. This "whisper of potential solace" offers a glimmer of hope or a "presence of hospitality" on the very fringes of Uncharted Space, a beacon in the desolate void. Its faint emission can only be detected by a select few, as its frequency is designed to be almost entirely undetectable by standard civilian vessels. Access to this mysterious haven is even more restricted, requiring the formidable capabilities of military-grade spaceships to navigate and penetrate the surrounding environmental defences.

Kelly realized that Mr. Robot is a little outdated. And she has some brand new components with her. So, why being idle? "With these new cells you'll have energy for years and years. You won't have to worry about the handle on your back anymore. And, by the way, may I call you Robbie? I don't like Mr. Robot at all!"
Can you hear me Benny? This is prof...or Wedgensen, can y... ...r me?
We are exp.....ing major int......nces! Is ev......ing ok? ...ny! C... ... h..r ..?
Damn! Communications with Benny's Outpost Alpha are down! What is happening out there?

Spend a little time on this one zooming in on the large size. It took me awhile to photograph this one because I wanted to be able to zoom in on all the tiny details in a single shot.

Vast unending loneliness
The anomaly's shifting, hallucinatory colours are no longer confined to the viewport; they seep into the dialogue itself. A logical assessment of the capsule’s trajectory begins—Vector calculation indicates…—but a deep, resonant purple, a feeling of vast, unending loneliness swallows this thought. I attempt to regain control. Focus, stay calm. This command, my own mental voice, should be a sharp, definitive anchor. Instead, the words dissolve into a blinding wash of orange, a raw, non-verbal wave of pure, unanalysable urgency that screams move without direction or reason.

The Intergalactic Girl from last week's flea market haul arrives at the Space Station.
Did I ever complain about indoor photography being a nuisance? No, not this time. Build the scene (yes, that's still the same space corridor, over and over, only with new floor tiles), take a picture, and a second one, just to be on the safe side, check on the big computer monitor, repeat. Only 30 takes this time, easy as cake.
Toy Project Day 2467
Before I get you on the way, I need to know where you are from and how you ended up here.
We wanted to see dragons. No idea how we ended up in some freaking metal house with no connection the the ground.
Oh, so you actually got it right. This is The Dragon, a space station in orbit around Sol 3.
The ones you're thinking about are mythical creatures that never existed.
But... but we have seen pictures of them!
Never trust a picture!
Picture Project Day 3750
The International Space Station passes over my house and past the full moon at blue hour last night.
'It's getting quiet out there...Do you think BuildingBot is done?'
'I don't know, but the status panel suggest we have several pressurised area's we did not have before...'
'Best we both suit up before opening any hatches...
***************************************
Urged by a message from diwong I decided to get a picture from my space station 'as is'. Over the last few weeks, it had been changing almost daily because I gave myself too many options.
Starting with the space station from set 60227, I added a second node for connection modules, and modified both nodes to accept modules on 49699 panels in all directions.
These are the 3 modules from set 60227, and a capsule pinched from set 60350 (front node, downward).
I bricklinked a few more solar panels to keep the space station in power and added them to a new boom. The boom with solar panels can also be connected to any 49699 panel...
This is the photo I should have taken (and uploaded) before the Thanksgiving one. But being always short on time...

'Admit it, you have no idea what we are building here!'
'Not sure, we are not building according to the original plans...'
==================================
Set 60227, the space-station set, came with a central hub for connecting space station modules that I both liked and did not like. It makes great use of the connector panels, but it has only connectors at 4 sides.
I prefer connectors on all 6 sides. Granted, less sturdy and a bit more fiddly, but I think I will be able to get a space station that can grow in all directions. And I wanted more than one hub...
The hard part with alterations like this is that I keep getting new ideas after ordering parts. I ordered extra connector panels and installed them on the top and bottom plate. Only after building that I realised I could actually build them open on all sides too. Back to bricklink... And I wanted perhaps a few more solar panels as my station was getting a bit bigger... Third round bricklink... This is taking forever!
There are some more alterations of the space station set in the works, and my little peeps are working hard at it, even if they are not sure where it's going...
No stopping in uncharted space
No "stop and revive" in this perilous, uncharted space. The Rumour Mill's comfort is a memory, lost to time and trace. The exorbitant demand is a punch right to the gut. Our savings drained, our journey's hope, behind a costly shut.

What a day! Time for a photo all together! But please, Benny, take your helmet off! 3... 2... 1... Say spaceship!!

'Finally a full service station. A shame I don't have an oil level to check or bugs on my wind screen...'
During the spacewalk of the two astronauts Raja Chari and Matthias Maurer the International Space Station appeared shortly after sunset in the bright evening sky over Germany.
This image of the ISS pass on March 23, 2022 was taken under good seeing conditions from the hometown of ESA astronaut Dr. Matthias Maurer. The docked SpaceX Dragon capsule, with which the astronauts of Crew-3 flew to the ISS, is clearly visible.
Three years ago I got to know Matthias Maurer at our SpaceStudio Weltraum-Atelier in Nohfelden, Germany which is located near to Matthias‘ hometown. Additional funfact: I produced the song for his ISS mission, "Cosmic Kiss”.
For the local press in Germany, I first published an initial photo highlighting where Matthias Maurer appeared on the ISS. Due to my time constraints, I released this version right away on the Internet, which then went viral, while I continued to work on the final image version with both highlighted astronauts.
Already two days after the spacewalk happened, Philip Smith contacted me. He is a world well-known photographer of all things ISS and has been published in many forms of media. Philip Smith with his ISS obsession, noticed on my picture that NASA astronaut Raja Chari is also detectable - on the robot arm “Canadarm2” - and he created a wonderful combination picture shown here with an insert from the NASA livestream. Maybe I'm the first person to image two spacewalkers on the ISS at the same time :)
The ISS passes overhead on Valentines day evening. Stunningly clear sky!
7x 30 second images, combined in Photoshop.
This is a panorama of a blue-topped arc of Northern Lights on the evening of May 15, 2026 during a Kp5-level storm. The sky is still bright and deep blue with twilight and the tops of the auroral curtains are lit blue by sunlight interacting with high-altitude nitrogen. Below, the curtains are tinted magenta, from the red of oxygen and blue of nitrogen mixing, while at bottom the curtains are glowing from normal oxygen green.
At right is the trail of the International Space Station fading into the Earth's shadow to the east. The astronauts would have had a good view of the Northhern Lights this night.
This is looking north at left of centre, with east to the right, and northwest with the sunset glow at left. I have left in other satellite trails.
This was from home in southern Alberta at 51º N.
The original is 12,700 pixels wide.
Technical:
A panorama of 6 segments each 15 seconds at f/2 with the Nikkor 20mm S-Line lens on the Nikon Z6III at ISO 800. The righthand segment had the last shot of the ISS, and three others taken just before that frame add the extra ISS trails above with a short gap between exposures.
"The very least I can do is asking you to stay for dinner" says Benny. He's so thankful to Kelly for everything she did. And he doesn't want her to leave so soon. He needs time to come out with a plan... And while he's thinking, Chef-A-Tron comes all of a sudden , ready to take their orders.
Reverse view from the official picture of the day, which was from a similar angle as the most commonly published image. Better images to come.
The Vortex of Essence
An artistic, surreal interpretation of the cryo-unit interior. JB is suspended in the centre, but his body is dissolving into a "swirling and churning" vortex of memories and light. The chaos of the anomaly outside leaks into the pod, creating a visual feedback loop in which the external storm and internal panic merge into a single, terrifying texture.
