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
I liked the light that was streaming through the slats in the art installation. I was lucky that this guy strode through with his red bag.
A scan of a very old slide.
I've uploaded this before (more than once) but here I've tried an alternative crop and reproduced it at a larger size. This gives a bit more "presence" I think but also shows the noise to bad effect. Anyway it's a record of a day out rather than an example of the landscape photographer's art.
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)
This is the first good mech i've built, I really like how it turned out. What do you guys think.
If you fav please comment.
"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.
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.
On the street in Toronto.

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.
Jungle Striders are agile Creatures with stilted legs. They are common all throughout the Region of Jungle, and although they are generally hostile, they are not very good fighters, and are quick to retreat from their foes.

Just one of hundreds of faces I happened to capture during a brief walk in hot City streets at the end of a hot workday. Will show others later - perhaps as a series...
A Wintery scene near the summit of Helvellyn looking towards Striding Edge, Ullswater and eventually the Pennines.
adore this stride from Saxon, and with "4 off the floor" something I've rarely captured.
Pity the focus is a bit soft, almost chose for his weekly shot but for that.
captured in palmas paseo maritimo, this photograph showcases a woman confidently striding along a pathway with modern buildings in the background. her athletic wear and focused demeanor suggest a moment of personal dedication and purpose, set against the striking architecture that frames the scene. the bright, clear sky adds a vibrant contrast to the urban elements, enhancing the overall composition. this image captures a moment of contemporary life, blending personal fitness with the bustling rhythm of the city.

Striding Edge in Winter is a very different animal in Winter compared to the 'tourist' motorway it is in Summer. In this image a Winter equipped hiker contemplates crossing the ridge into the thick cloud cover that rests over Helvellyn.
Felling's two Striders, former Newcastle Busways Volvo B10B 1902 (M902DRG) and former Sunderland Busways Scania L113 954 (M954DRG) sit in the shed. Both undergoing restoration with the Tyne & Wear Bus Preservation.

amidst the vibrant pulse of aix-en-provence, he strides, a solitary figure in motion against the static backdrop of a city in repose. the cap, a tribute to a team, speaks of loyalty in transient times. his gaze, fixed on the unseen horizon of his smartphone screen, narrates a story of connected disconnection. the urban tapestry, a mélange of shutters and vibrant hues, frames him in a portrait of modern intent. there's a rhythmic cadence to his step, a quiet defiance against the stillness that surrounds him.
Stagecoach acquired 5 Volvo Striders from CMT Liverpool when they took over that company some years ago. They have given good service and taking into account their age lasted well, longer than I thought they would. 4 of these buses are now withdrawn and the last is on its Indian Summer based at Kendal down for replacement shortly. It sees some interesting use and when its not outbased at Ambleside it can be seen on Kendal's country routes to Kirkby Lonsdale and Arnside as seen here departing this wonderful village under the railway bridge. Of course if your from anywhere near Harrogate they aint just any old Volvo...
