View of Striding Edge from the last acsent to the summit of Helvellyn, with Red Tarn to the left and Ullswater in the distance. It was great fun clambering along the ridge, the people at the bottom give a bit of scale to the landscape.

Press L!
Taken right when the protests were starting off. The capital has taken a beating since and looks pretty trashed currently.
Easy piece to spot, being so big! Just off Camden high street.
A bit of editing has taken place in so much as the striders are made faceless (see what I did there!?) I also quite like the arrow facing in the right direction.

Limnoporus notabilis is a fairly common water strider in the Western United States and into Canada. We can see how it spreads its skinny legs out to support itself atop the pond surface.
Photographers notes: a circular polarizer was used to reduce the reflection from the water. We can see into the pond this way... somewhat ;-)
Surely the most interesting way to ascend Helvellyn is via the Lakelands best known edge. Under a threatening sky long term pal and hiking buddy Clyde is seen on one of the smaller pinnacles of the ridge.
Great weekend, including repeating a route I first did in horrendous conditions as a student. Much better this time. Cold and windy, but just the right amount of storm.

Here is my WIP Dave Strider doll, made from a Deuce head that was damaged horribly when I tried to remove his snake hair, so I sculpted it.
I based his eye shape from the flash Cascade and gave him white hair, cuz I really like the strangeness of the colour. He also got freckles cuz he’s a cutie and need to make him clothes and get glasses for him.
There is a pond near my house so every once in a while I get an interesting visitor. This is a water strider. One of those bugs that looks like it walks on water. This one landed on the back of my truck.
Mimicking the legs of large flightless birds like Australia's Cassowary, this autonomous robotic unit was designed to sprint through the wastelands of a dystopian world, outside the confines of wherever humans have set up sanctuary.
This unit boasts a commanding presence with its height advantage, though wields no weapon systems and is used passively, solely for scouting.
This is one of the two models I'll be bringing with me to the Skaerbaek Fan Weekend in Denmark next month! I love it when nothing goes wrong between the computer model and the real deal =D
This model were built specially for contest on Bricker.ru, but was disqualified for being "published" on offline Megabricks Lego festival (I brough it for Bionicle exposure, you can see some photos here). "NEVER EVER FUCKING LUCKY" - Forsen on any stream.
I wanted to make something in typical "Black Fantasy" style, using a lot of black pieces. Also I wanted to make it look organically. Many thanks to Lil' Taggy for selling me some cool black tails and red loupes.
Also I decided to make little piece of planet for this bad guy. It has interesting experiments with sick Clickits details, still in love with them. But I have no enough time to make it fully detaild, so it has some holes somewhere that I didn't like at all.
You can also see difference in lighting between some photos, that because it were made in different place (right during festival and at home), soz fow that.
I am very interested to know what you think about this model, so any comments are welcome!
Possibly a Common Water Strider (Gerris remigis) near the Blue Hole spring at Ichetucknee Springs State Park.
Lightweight bipedal weapons platforms. These are heavily influenced by the Gekkos from MGS, although I have changed several aspects, particularly the visual sensors (the black cluster on their noses)
"Helvellyn is a mountain marking the border of Westmorland and Cumberland, in the Lake District, the apex of the Eastern Fells. [] the highest point in the Lake District after Scafell Pike and Scafell, and the highest mountain in England after those latter fells. [] The name is also archaically written Helvillon, and is probably derived from the Cumbric language for 'yellow moor'; hal velyn. []
"Striding Edge is a notorious accident spot among hikers and scramblers. In winter conditions the climb from Striding Edge up to the summit plateau can involve crossing steep icy ground and a snow cornice, and can be the most dangerous part of the walk. Without an ice axe or crampons this presents a serious obstacle. In January 2008 two walkers died after falling from the ridge in separate incidents. Another walker died after falling from Striding Edge in May 2008. []."
The have been a few more deaths after 2008. The account above is now dated.
I loved being in the city with friends and cameras. It's just amazing. It energizes me.

Most of the time, when someone walks into your shot, it's slightly annoying. In this circumstance, I think the pedestrian added to the image, and I didn't even see him coming.

Water striders are small insects that are adapted for life on top of still water, using surface tension to their advantage so they can “walk on water.” Water acts different at the surface. Water molecules are attracted to each other and like to stay together, especially on the surface where there is only air above.
They walk, run, hop, jump, hunt, eat, sleep and even mate on water's surface!
They belong to the family Gerridae, which is a family of insects in the order Hemiptera, commonly known as water striders, water skeeters, water bugs, pond skaters, water skippers, or Jesus bugs.
