A young pronghorn antelope bolts into a sprint in a test of speed and an expression of youthful joy.
A long exposure I got last night when I went out with my Dad and my mate Keenan.
The sky was really foggy so I'm really surprised that it came out like this.

For who, they would ask themselves, would be fools enough to dare the South China Sea in such a boat; to dare the South China Sea in the season of the winds?
(From: Yondering, by Louis L’Amour, 1980).
On a moonlit night, somewhere in the South China Sea, on green phosphorescent sea, over disturbed kraken of the deep, the speed boat churns the waves, traveling at prodigious velocity. We follow it for a while, like a flock of seagulls, then gently lower ourselves onto the deck, the salty breeze in our hair and the spray on our skins. Half-hidden in the shadows, we take a secret peek through the salt-encrusted windows. As our eyes adjust, we see a dimly lit cabin with a sole red light. Then we spot the crew, sitting silently on hard seats wearing life jackets.
Grim faces. Grim, tense faces. The situation must be extremely serious. Jack with his elephant rifle. Orinoco Suzy with the blow pipe. The Giancella sisters with their machetes and knitting needles. 20 grips, 5 art directors, 2 script writers, a dozen makeup artists, 1 celebrity photographer and certified madman. One-eyed Captain Sanchez at the wheel, bottle in hand, swearing in Cantonese.
Then, like on command, all eyes turn towards us. We have been spotted!
We disperse into the night, in panic. Man, these are scary dudes!

Will we find the Lady in Red? Will she be rescued? Or is it too late? The tension mounts. All eyes turn towards the scriptwriters.

From our series 'Island Story' - the story of a shipwreck. "Alone and stranded on tropical shores that time forgot, a beautiful Lady from Shanghai struggles for survival, with humor, charm and style. Storms, cannibals and witches - she will encounter them all!"
NHN D8 passes what appears to be a very neglected speeder car shed that is loosing its battle with time.
I am extremely proud and excited to present my latest model for you guys today. I'm just so happy with how the 246 GT turned out! It's shorter in overall height than a minifig, but still seats a driver.
One of my personal favorite details about the original car is the "wraparound" rear windscreen, which curves seamlessly into the C pillars, which I did my best to emulate on this model. I also had a last minute idea on how to suggest the yellow Dino logo on the wheels by using these old yellow wheel holders + the Cars wheel hubs that have a hole straight through the center! A yellow bar gives a similar effect to the steering wheel.
Hope y'all enjoy! This one will probably make its way over to my Rebrickable shortly. I haven't been updating RB as much since my techniques have gotten pretty wacky and I feel less confident in suggesting people emulate them, but this is actually a really stable and playable model.
Storm tonight north of Toowoomba picked up speed and came in faster than I was expecting. Which explains the photo from a housing estate

I liked this contrast of suit carrier and old bike especially the old briefcase on the luggage rack :-)

Speeder bikes build night, with a presentation from me featuring guidance and builds advice from Dan Ko
A build for Alego's challenge for french RLOC BrickPirate to build sci-fi speeder using the rotor blade part 62743.
Hyponephele lupine (Costa, 1776), aka the Oriental meadow brown or branded meadowbrown, a butterfly of the family Nymphalidae.
I found this one in September at Athalassa Park in Nicosia, Cyprus. For those interested in the technical details, this is a handheld shot, taken with Nikon 750 and Nikon 105 mm f/2.8 VR. Aperture was set at f/13, shutter speed at 1/200s and ISO at 100, plus a diffused SB-900 flash.
If you like what you see, do not hesitate to throw a star, or to leave a constructive comment! :-)
If you want to be happy, do not dwell in the past, do not worry about the future,
focus on living fully in the present.

Ich habe kürzlich alle meine alten 4x5 inch schwarzweiß-Filme digitalisiert - und begonnen hat alles 1978 mit dieser alten Speed Graphic mit adaptiertem Aero-Ektar, die mir eine Freundin aus den USA mitgebracht hat
Lately i digitized my old 4x5 inch b&w films. It all began with this old Speed Graphic with an adapted Aero-Ektar a friend brought back from the United States in 1978.
One night I got the urge to make a super sleek, open top racer using my 2 favourite colours (black and dark red). I wanted it to be a really dense, compact build with a smooth upper body and badass looking engine chassis underneath. So I did.
al final de la carrera...... ganó!!!
pero lo que mas me gustó es que este animalito sonaba como un F1
simplemente maravilloso!!!!
