Mt. Moran reflected on a calm String Lake on a beautiful spring morning. Hopefully I will be seeing this again in mid May.

Heavy-duty nylon thread in various colors, for the "string" theme. Just for grins, I took this one using the Minolta 100mm macro lens from last week's photo, using the original Minolta bellows adapted to the Sony a6000. Individual threads are about 0.5mm diameter, and the width of the image is about 22mm, for a magnification of about 1.07. HMM!
20241201_0113_7D2-100 Stringing Athol along
Cooking string!
I was trying to use the word 'THEORY" for 'String Theory' but I couldn't get the string pieces small enough for the word to fit below 75mm/3". So I used Athol., and it is 73mm from bottom left of the A to bottom right of the L.
As I found out just six years ago, the name Athol is now important in my life!

What I had in mind was something pretty, light, and a little bit twee. What I got instead was a grainy mono of three balls of string. Hey ho ...
Here's a question for you, do you think it's important to have a photographic style? And if so, do you know yours? So two questions, in fact.
Part of a new series I'm working on.
Finally some actual snow today [: and the chocolate mousse is all made and ready for pictures!

This is a picture of my favorite model Alessandra Ambrioso. She is one of the most popular Victorias Secret models along with Heidi Klum and Tyra Banks. As you can see the "Bathing suit" has come along way from its bathing skirts and bloomers of the 1920's. Today "less is better." The bikini derived its name after Jacques Heim (a fashion designer) saw a string bikini with a g-string back in a fashion show in Paris in 1946. He named it after Bikini Atoll, the site of the nuclear weapon tests a few days before the show. He named it after this on the association that the burst of excitement it caused would be like that of the nuclear explosion. In 1951 bikinis were banned from the Miss World Contest following the crowning of Miss Sweden in a bikini and subsequent protests with a number of countries threatening to withdraw. In 1957, Bridgette Bardot wore a bikini in "And God Created Woman" and sparked the market for bikini swimwear in the U.S. Also in 1960, Brian Hylands song "itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini" started a bikini-buying spree. The string bikini (as shown on the model) is a renovation of the traditional bikini that generally consists of the barest minimal fabric coverage for the top and bottoms, both are reduced to triangles of cloth connected by strings. For some women, the string bikini may actually be the most flattering bikini style. The string bikini style looks best on women with small busts or boyish shapes. Because women with small breasts do not need a large amount of bra-style support, a traditional triangle top can serve to add more shape and curve to the breasts. In addition, triangle tops with built-in under wires can work similarly to a push-up bra to maximize the breasts. Today the string bikini is one of the most popular types of swimwear and you can see it on girls as young as 5 to women as old as.......well, we dont want to imagine that.

’ve waited nine years for this moment…
For reasons unknown to us, Nex and Stringer would never see another release after 2012, despite two full waves of sets they could easily have been integrated into. With Bulk growing increasingly orange and Stringer’s lack of unified color scheme, my belief is that Nex and Stringer underperformed in BREAKOUT as the two cheaper sets of the second wave and were cut from the lineup for the remainder of Hero Factory’s run.
Until today…
With a helmet commissioned from @galva_nize_ I present BRAIN ATTACK Stringer. He is of the same height class as Stormer and Surge and is equipped with a Hero Sword. He also has a scanning apparatus affixed to his arm for performing sonar sweeps and picking up thermal signatures. I went for a more hefty build as Stringer deserves the extra muscle. I have also tried to combine his blue BREAKOUT color scheme and his orange 1.0 colors to create something that honors both.
I have taken great lengths to keep the design language of the other BRAIN ATTACK sets:
- Melee weapons
- Silver or Gunmetal secondary color
- Transparent armor piece
- Hero Core Clamp and Visor
This build uses a shoulder configuration first used by Beardly_Designs. I don’t think anything else draws inspiration from other MOCs but, if you feel it does, let me know!
Building this MOC is honestly a dream come true for me. I’m glad I can finally give Stringer the form he deserves.
Perhaps my favorite morning in the Tetons this fall was the sunrise I spent on the shores of String Lake. It was one of those perfectly still mornings where the water of the lake was still as glass, light mist hung on the surface, and the early morning sun slowly lit up the distant face of Mt Moran with great warm alpenglow. Couldn't ask for more really and the sounds of bull elk calling from the pines across the lake and coyotes howling in the distance behind me made the experience pretty much perfect. Great for the soul...even if the sounds of some fairly large animal breaking branches in the woods behind me sorta freaked me out a tad. Never saw what that was and the noises were still occuring when I packed up to move back to the trailhead. It was probably a deer but my brain was turning it into a massive grizzly :)
Cheers!

Strada sforii (Romanian for 'String street', German: Fadengasse ) is the narrowest street in the city of Braşov, Romania. It is believed to be one of the narrowest streets in Europe (Spreuerhofstraße, in Germany, and Parliament Street, in England, are narrower).
It is situated near Șchei Gate and it is perpendicular to Strada Cerbului (Stag Street). It was initially built as a corridor that firemen could use, and it is first mentioned in 17th century documents. Strada sforii is now a tourist attraction and meeting spot. Its width varies between 111 and 135 centimeters, and it is 80 meters long.[1]
