I scream! You scream! We all scream for ice cream! This set features an ice cream parlor designed by yours truly, RoboXpert. (Btw, you can see my Minifigure from my logo cleaning a table in the building.) This set took me two days to design and has over 1,261 Lego pieces. It has 19 Minifigures, a dog, and a cat.
The first thing you'll notice on the iScream parlor is the iScream sign as well as all the other wonderful detail put into this build. If you look real close, you'll see that those ice cream cones outside are really lights for when night falls. There are tables and chairs seated around the building for those who just have to enjoy their delicious ice cream outside. If you go inside, there is a beautiful floor design where the guests eat/order as well as a nice floor kitchen design for the employees. Of course, it wouldn't be iScream without ice cream, so there are many flavors to try! You truly will scream when you see iScream!
This series of Photographs documents our visit to the Atlanta Botanical Garden. This Photograph shows a pedestrian Bridge and it's Support Structure. The area near the entrance is quite hilly; the various paths go up and down and cross over and under several Bridges. The series of Paths in this area is called the Canopy Walk and passes through the Cascades Garden.
The Georgia Botanical Garden is located at 1911 Sweetbay Dr, Gainesville, GA 30501, but uses the Mailing Address of 1345 Piedmont Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30309. The City of Gainesville is the County Seat of Halls County, Georgia. The Botanical Garden encompasses 30 Acres in the Atlanta Metropolitan Area (Midtown Atlanta).

In June 2018, my wife & I attended a Family Wedding at the Hilton Garden Inn, 275 Baker Street NW in Atlanta, Georgia. One end the hallway on the on the 13 Floor (they call it Floor PH) gave me a Great View of the CSX Tracks, while the other end of the hallway gave me a great view of the Skyview Ferris Wheel across the street from Centennial Olympic Park.
Since we were in Atlanta for several days, we had some time to visit the Atlanta Botanical Gardens, which which were located approx 3.2 Miles from our Hotel.

As a curiosity, I photographed this same palm tree (Geonoma schottiana) and its companion back in February 2021 using a different lens. In fact, I have yet another photo of these old friends taken in 2017 (I think), which I may post one day, for comparison's sake. The supporting tree has since died and is slowly decaying.
We had to interrupt the proceedings when Hector decided his needs were more important than ours. So what else is new? 😉
The resin artist kids found this coaster which was from Dolly Day Barcelona back in June, they wanted to share it with you!

New parts, new versions of Batman characters!
Left to right:
Red Hood - new red hood! Had to do it.
Man-Bat - "new" head and legs - had a moment after I saw someone use the legs for Beast, I think.
Jim Gordon - new torso and "new" head - I actually found the head pretty used and scratched up, but a little editing and y'all will never know.
Spoiler - I finally have a purple hood!!! Literally have been waiting to use this piece for this character for years.
Alfred Pennyworth - "new" torso combined with the legs was a combo that came up in reference to a version from the LEGO Batman game I think? I've had this built for a while, IDK.

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

Foresters and other Friendly societies were formed in Australia in the nineteenth century as support societies for their mainly working-class members. The societies provided insurance against sickness, death and misfortune which included sick pay, funeral expenses and financial support for families of deceased members. Despite its name, the Ancient Order of Foresters was a relatively young society, formed in Britain in 1834 as a splinter group from the Royal Foresters. Branches, known as courts, were established in Sydney and Adelaide in the 1840s. The Fortitude Valley branch, ‘Court Fortitude’ was inaugurated on 7 March 1859 at the Alliance Hall. When Queensland separated from NSW later in 1859, it became the first Foresters court in Queensland. Founding members of the court include George Warren and Thomas Skyring. By the end of 1859 the court had 90 members, with George Warren Chief Ranger and John Heal as secretary. Honorary members, who contributed funds but did not intend to use them, included politician and later Chief Justice, Charles Lilley.
The first Foresters Hall opened five months after the court’s inauguration with about forty members and friends present. The hall was attached to the Foresters’ Arms Hotel, whose publican George Warren was the court’s Chief Ranger. The old Hall was intended for use for concerts, lectures and was ‘available in many ways to meet the demands of a progressive community’. The hall also enabled the Foresters to provide a free reading room, open to the public. However, in 1861 the Foresters Hall was adopted for use as the Fortitude Valley primary school. A new Foresters Hall was constructed by George Warren in January 1862, but from April 1863 Court Fortitude Foresters’ meetings were held in Harvey’s Castle Hotel.
The benefits of membership of the Foresters society were varied and numerous. Primarily, the Friendly societies were charitable institutions, guaranteeing financial security for members in hard times. The object of the ‘Foresters’ Benefit Investment Society’, noted in the Moreton Bay Courier on the inauguration of Court Fortitude, was, ‘to give its members independency from the cold frown of the world’s scorn, at a time when the father and husband may not through the vicissitudes of life be able to pursue his calling.’ Court Fortitude, in accordance with this objective, held benefit balls for the widows and families of former members in 1882 and 1885. In addition were preventative measures: the provision of medical services. Many courts, including Court Fortitude, contracted with a medical professional who would provide medical attendance to its members and their families. Without the society, these services would be unattainable luxuries to many of those within the working-class in the nineteenth century.
The societies also performed a social function for their members: annual balls and reunions of the Court Fortitude throughout the 1870s and 1880s were frequently reported as great successes, with meals, speeches, musical entertainment and dancing (sometimes until 4am). Chief Justice Lilley affirmed this role in his speech at the opening of the new Foresters Hall, describing Court Fortitude as the working-class equivalent of a members’ club.
Court Fortitude’s first three decades were marked by prosperity and success: by 1871 400 members had joined, although due to death and transfers only 120 members were active. There were 200 active members in 1880 and in 1888 this had leapt to 280 financial members. The court’s stable financial position mirrors its popularity: the court’s bank balance rose from £300 or £400 in 1871 to £3,592 in 1888. Of Queensland’s 345 Foresters in 1880, 220 were from Court Fortitude. The rise of the Valley Foresters’ popularity coincides with the development of the Valley itself a small residential population, growing slowly until the economic boom of the 1880s which created dense working class settlement in the Valley. Membership of Foresters in the 1870s and 1880s was around four percent of the population of Fortitude Valley which in 1881, for example, was 5,148. Effectively, however, a much larger proportion of the population was covered by Foresters membership, as the families of the men of Foresters were also cared for by the court.
Given its increasing membership and stable finances, a new and permanent meeting-place was highly desirable. Tenders were called for a new Foresters Hall in February 1880. The hall’s architect, John Richard Hall, was a member of the Oddfellows Society and had designed alterations to the Oddfellows Hall in 1879. After the death of the original contractor, the hall was constructed by John Daniel Heal. Heal, as well as being one of the court’s founding members and for many years its secretary, was a prominent Valley publican, Alderman (1870-1894) and former Mayor of Brisbane. He had been a member of several of the Brisbane Municipal Council’s committees and was the original owner of the land on which the hall was constructed. Heal remained a trustee of Court Fortitude until his death in 1908.
The new Foresters’ Hall was built for in a surprisingly short amount of time for such a substantial building – the call for tenders closed in March 1880 and the hall was opened in October that year. Its size (90ft x 40ft) and position close to public transport were proudly highlighted when the hall was advertised for rentals.
Following the construction of the new Foresters Hall, both the United Brisbane District of the Ancient Order of Foresters and the Fortitude District held their meetings there. The Hall became a popular venue for balls, concerts, fundraisers, lectures and public and political meetings and meetings of other societies, such as the Oddfellows. It was also used as a Fortitude Valley polling station. Extensions in 1887 added a second storey, so the ground floor could be let to other groups while Foresters meetings were held on the second floor. Further improvements in 1888 extended the length of the hall and added extra facilities. It also meant that Court Fortitude owned two-thirds of the wealth in the United Brisbane District.
The court had enjoyed success, but by the 1890s it was not without troubles. Secretary Alexander Bell was prosecuted for embezzling nearly £300 from the court’s funds in 1896. As industry moved into the Valley, assisted by the progress of the railway line, the residential nature of the Valley began to be eroded. Instead, courts established in suburban areas thrived, including ‘Court Foresters Hope’ in Paddington ([601662]). The Fortitude Valley Foresters Hall was offered for sale in major newspapers in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne in late 1900 by the court’s trustees, and again in 1902. The court however maintained possession of the hall and hosted its meetings there until 1923, but from 1910 the hall was primarily used for other purposes. Gradually, improvements to State-provided social security diminished the appeal of the societies. In the 1930s the focus of Foresters shifted away from its original social and mutual aid functions. Foresters’, amalgamated with other friendly societies, exists today as a financial institution.
Foresters Hall continued to be a meeting place for Valley residents and visitors when it began its new life as a picture theatre. Foresters Hall was leased to Sidney Cook, who renamed it ‘Cook’s Picture Palace’ and, after some internal alterations, opened it on 4 June 1910. This was the first picture theatre in Fortitude Valley and the inaugural sessions played films including the Sydney memorial service for King Edward VII to crowded houses. The hall was still rented out for meetings and even religious services. In March 1913 alterations to the building submitted by Mr S. Cook were approved. These alterations were designed by respected Brisbane architect H.G.O Thomas. It is believed that the internal pressed metal sloped ceiling was installed at this time. The alterations probably consisted of two single-storey brick buildings flanking the hall, as shown in a 1911 photograph. Both wings were sold and removed in 1924.
The picture theatre ran until 1922 when Cook subleased it. In 1923 the land was sold to Francis Bruce Charlton for £7,250, subject to a lease. The hall’s additional brick wings, comprised of approximately 10,000 bricks, were removed and sold in 1924, as they were projecting onto the land that had been resumed for Barry Parade. Various lessees have occupied the building since then, plying trades as diverse as hairdressing and running a wine saloon. The building has also been used as a café, a millenary factory, the ‘Shamrock Billiard Saloon’ in the early 1930s, when the site was used for illegal gambling, cabaret hall and nightclub. Alterations were completed in 1974 and 1979. Title passed to the current owners in 1994 and permission was granted in 2009 for further alteration work, primarily to the interior, in order to refit the building as a live music venue.
Today Forester's Hall has been incorporated into the Flatiron and Valley House development, where it serves as a street-front restaurant. It is interesting to note that the terrace facades several meters up the street were not deemed significant for heritage listing but the developer, GURNERâ„¢, insisted to restore and repurpose them.

i sup-hose i should explain. sam made this after complaining that his leg's "structural integrity was being compromised". given what his feet have been up to, he might be referring to growing pains. i thought this was pretty funny and i'm glad i took a picture because, as with most of sam's creations, it bit the dust shortly after production.
