Yes it is a functioning telescope, just like 21323 Grand Piano is a functioning piano. Meaning, you can see what's in the sky, but not actual stars, nor the real Moon.
So how does it work ? There's a light brick hidden inside the model. It is activated by pressing the lens, and the light passes through a decorated transparent piece (sets like 75810, 10273 or 70917 use this principle), magnifying glasses (I know, the way they are placed on the model is not realistic, but it's for LEGO IDEAS), bounces on a "mirror" (a tile with a shiny sticker), so when you look through the eyepiece, you can see what you could see if you looked through an actual telescope.
Since it could be a bit boring to always see the same thing, my entry comes with four different patterns, that were designed by Thi's studs. There's a galaxy, Jupiter with the Galilean moons, the Moon, and the Solis Magna system. Jupiter and the Moon are a reference to Galileo Galilei, who invented the telescope and discovered the existence of satellites orbiting Jupiter. The Solis Magna system is a nod to BIONICLE.
The model is made of 231 parts, and you can see it in 3D on Mecabricks : www.mecabricks.com/en/models/oK2w7Rk029k

Devon Air Ambulance's Motorcycle Ride Out Sunday 9th July 2017
Newton Abbot to Teignmouth .
Air Ambulance 12th Motorcycle Ride Out;
This is one of the great annual events for the bikers calendar and will see the procession of motorbikes follow an approximate 80 mile route* through Devon before ending with an afternoon of live entertainment at the Den.
Devon Air Ambulance Trust; real people saving real lives.
DAAT is a Devon based charity that aims to relieve sickness and injury in and around the county of Devon, by assisting in the provision of an Air Ambulance service. By getting patients to the care they need in an efficient manner, chances of survival can be greatly improved. This is all achieved independent of government funding, through the fantastic donations of the public in Devon.
One from the archives, which I'm trying to rationalise!

These are not to my liking for the new batch of Military Support Gunners. But, I'll have them individually. Also, it's my birthday. So yah...
Thanks,

So, I was going through some photos from late last year and came across this one, which I had not really noticed when first perusing shots from that batch. I'm quite taken with it and thought that it complemented my previous two posts well, which together epitomise some of my primary approaches to light.
I'm unlikely to post again until the weekend and will catch up with y'all tonight and tomorrow. Hope everyone's well.

Thank you dear friends for your support, and for your faves and kind comments, very much appreciated - deaR♥‿♥
Multi-span bridges are structures of two or more arches supported on piers. They were constructed throughout the medieval period for the use of pedestrians and packhorse or vehicular traffic, crossing rivers or streams, often replacing or supplementing earlier fords.
During the early medieval period timber was used, but from the 12th century stone (and later brick) bridges became more common, with the piers sometimes supported by a timber raft. Most stone or brick bridges were constructed with pointed arches, although semicircular and segmental examples are also known. A common medieval feature is the presence of stone ashlar ribs underneath the arch. The bridge abutments and revetting of the river banks also form part of the bridge. Where medieval bridges have been altered in later centuries, original features are sometimes concealed behind later stonework, including remains of earlier timber bridges. The roadway was often originally cobbled or gravelled. The building and maintenance of bridges was frequently carried out by the church and by guilds, although landowners were also required to maintain bridges. From the mid-13th century the right to collect tolls, known as pontage, was granted to many bridges, usually for repairs; for this purpose many urban bridges had houses or chapels on them, and some were fortified with a defensive gateway. Medieval multi-span bridges must have been numerous throughout England, but most have been rebuilt or replaced and less than 200 examples are now known to survive. As a rare monument type largely unaltered, surviving examples and examples that retain significant medieval and post-medieval fabric are considered to be of national importance.
Despite some later alterations and repair work, Aylesford Bridge is a well preserved medieval multi-span bridge. It is a good example of its type and will retain evidence relating to medieval bridge construction and masonry techniques. Deposits buried underneath the bridge will preserve valuable artefactual, ecofactual and environmental evidence, providing information about the human and natural history of the site prior to the construction of the bridge.

This record was the subject of a minor enhancement on 15 December 2014. The record has been generated from an "old county number" (OCN) scheduling record. These are monuments that were not reviewed under the Monuments Protection Programme and are some of our oldest designation records.
The monument includes a medieval multi-span bridge situated over the River Medway at Aylesford.
Aylesford Bridge is constructed of Kentish ragstone with seven arches including a central segmental arch and six pointed and double-chamfered outer arches. The bridge is about 4m wide between the centres of the stone-coped parapet. The end arches are partly buried by the river bank. The stone piers have cutwaters on the upstream and downstream sides on rebuilt concrete foundations. On each side are octagonal and triangular canted pedestrian refuges resting on buttresses over the piers. Below the bridge is a barge-bed constructed from large baulks of timber.
Aylesford Bridge is thought to have been constructed in about the 14th century, and is situated downstream from the probable site of an earlier ford. A grant of pontage was issued in 1331, although it is possible that this relates to a timber predecessor. In about 1824, the two centre arches were replaced by a single arch of 18m span, removing a pier to allow passage for larger river traffic.
Aylesford Bridge is Grade I listed.
