On Scene with Watertown Volunteer with a smoky structure fire at 20 McLennan Dr in the Oakville section of town. First due crews found heavy smoke coming from Quality Automatics Inc ,a machine shop located at that address. Crews immediately stretched lines and hit the hydrant at the end of the dead end street for an additional water source. Extension ladders were used to access the roof for ventilation since powerlines prevented the aerial ladders from being used. The fire was brought under control after approximately 30 minutes but required extensive overhaul and ventilation. In addition hazmat precautions had to be taken due to the lubricants and by products of the manufacturing process at the business were mixed with the water and foam used to extinguish the blaze.
Both stem from the 12th century. The structure is possibly the earliest example of a church and round tower being part of a single structure in Ireland.
Founded between 545 and 548 by St. Ciaran (one of the Twelve Apostles of Ireland), this was once one of Ireland’s most important religious, artistic, and literary centers, a place of pilgrimage, craftsmanship, and culture. Many famous manuscripts were written here. The site includes the ruins of a cathedral, seven churches (10th -13th century), two round towers, three high crosses and the largest collection of Early Christian graveslabs in Western Europe.

Some structures I made today in GIMP. I was originally just planning to do some simple crosshatching that I could quickly copy/paste into other drawings so that I could save time in the long run, but they turned out much nicer than I thought, and very organic looking, too!
This structure functions as the Warsaw City Hall as well as the Capitol of the Masovian Voivodeship.

Finally finished this kit that I got in May. Just needs a little weathering with India Ink, some stairs, and a few little details. It's supposed to be a plumbing/hardware store--kind of big for that if you ask me, but I liked the way the building looked.
It's a Northeastern Models Kit. The shingles are paper that I weathered with chalk.

Quite a impressing building.

With the release of the Redstone patch I have been meaning to start up a new world. Here is some screenshots of some of the structures I am working on. These are incomplete and will probably receive more detail as I have time to update them.

Thomas Anthony "Tony" Ryan (2 February 1936 – 3 October 2007) was an Irish billionaire, philanthropist and businessman.
He was a founder of Guinness Peat Aviation (GPA) as well as co-founder of Ryanair with Christy Ryan and Liam Lonergan. Ryanair was believed to be the main source of his wealth in later life: the company is now one of the biggest airlines in Europe.
Ryan held honorary doctorates from several universities, including Trinity College, Dublin, the National University of Ireland, Galway and the University of Limerick.
Ryan was an active and innovative funder of university education in Ireland. He donated a marine science institute to NUI Galway in 1993 which was named the Martin Ryan Marine Science Institute in honour of his father. He showed interest in marine science and aquaculture development in the west of Ireland. He also funded The Ryan Academy for Entrepreneurship at the Citywest park, that is run by Dublin City University.
In 2001, Ryan acquired Castleton Farm near Lexington, Kentucky from the Van Lennep Family Trust. Ryan renamed it Castleton Lyons and undertook renovations to the property while returning to its original roots as a thoroughbred operation.
At the time of his death he owned 16% of Tiger Airways, a discount carrier based in Singapore which was founded in December 2003.
Abandoned structure, East Nicolaus, Sutter County, California.
