I can't help shooting this sort of angle, it just works for me so no apologies! Absolutely loving shooting with my Agfa Record at the moment, it's just such a pleasure to use and the massive 6x9 negs are a treat.

A view from just to one side for an alternate perspective from the usual. Here is a video that can be watched on Youtube that shows parts of the journey up and along . Had a dog on a lead in one hand, camera in tother so forgive if its a bit shaky .
Trying to keep everything scalable to Aloy. This is a good initial model to have as you can build off of it for Broadheads and Chargers
n the old town of barcelona, a passerby strides along a striking pink backdrop, a vibrant contrast to the muted tones of their attire. the walls whisper tales of the past, with patches and textures speaking to the city's rich tapestry. it's a scene where urban life and colorful history intersect, with each step along the cobbled streets adding to the narrative of this bustling catalan corner.
Video of wild camp:
Winter had been , well sporadic to say the least this year, and when February was only a few weeks old, any remnants of snow were soon to be vanquished as spring /summer like conditions took hold over the UK.
12 months prior and a weather pattern saw the UK blasted by cold easterly winds for a number of weeks , finally becoming known as the 2018 Beast from the East! This year and the balance was re addressed with the winds being stuck from the Azores and Africa. Scotland (and the UK) posted record high temperatures for February an the dust on my ice axes showed no sign of being re homed
I was starting to feel resentment at the weather, but eventually decided to take a different outlook. So winter had gone AWOL for a few weeks and spring had well and truly peeked her head above the wall. Instead of pitying the decline of winter, I embraced this early blast of summer and got my camping gear out and headed for a summit camp!
I didn’t have too much time so scoured the maps for a nearby location and decided on a hill within a 30 minute drive from my front door.
Leaving the car , the temperature was recorded at 16.5!! The last time I had been here, it was mid August and I reckon the temperature was under half this! The wind and driving rain certainly didn’t help on the last trip! Tis time the skies were blue and winds light and I set about getting on the top to try and find a suitable pitch before darkness descended. The weather was summery , but the hours of daylight can’t be altered and I was soon pitching the tent in time for a lovely sunset. Water collected and tea warmed up, I settled back into the tent for a few hours to allow the last rays of sun and light to fade, before venturing out to do a bit of star gazing.
Not only had it been unseasonably mild, it had also been super dry! I spent around 2 hours gazing upwards (much of this was lying on my back in my socks gazing a the stars and satellites as they crossed the sky.) No moon at this time so the sky was alight with stars and the milky way was visible stretching across the dome above me.
Having taken a few star shots I eventually hit the hay, and unusually, had a great nights sleep before waking to catch a lovely dawn and sunrise. The tent came down and I was soon heading the short distance back to the car , and civilisation for the weekend A fine adventure
"The Star Strider is an extremely fast pursuit craft with high maneuverability thanks to it's adjustable wings. Perfect for keeping peace and order!"
I found myself disassembling my LEGO 70351 Clay's Falcon Fighter Blaster set and really liked the colors and the cockpit. So I decided to build something from it. This is the result.
The model has two large adjustable wings on either side, three adjustable fins on top and features two "hidden" spring-loaded shooters underneath. It fits Clay in full armor and has a clip for holding his sword. The model is fairly swooshable and the shooters can be activated while "flying" it with a single hand.
Please let me know what you think and what you like and don't like about it :-)

Helvellyn is the third-highest point both in England and in the Lake .
Leo built this a few years back for Indio ( I lowered the saddle by removing the post and taping it on.)
Greta can just barely touch the ground and isn't getting very far on it yet.
Note the rad 6-spoke rear wheel.
This was shot with a Nikon L35AF, a point and shoot film camera with a 35mm lens, on Portra 400. I used to to be too intrusive with my photography and felt I was disrupting the emotions of my subjects and thus affecting the scene as a whole. I'm currently forcing myself to not take shots where that becomes an issue. I'm a big fan of Daido Moriyama and this was shot from the hip with my camera by my side, just like he would.
There's many fashionable people in Harajuku and it definitely became my favourite place to hang out in Tokyo.
