Taken quite a few weeks ago now, but this felt like a sign that autumn was definitely on its way even back then.

Max watering the Oil Seed Rape after a wee dip to cool off this morning. Not that it was exactly hot there was still a frost.
The pedestrian walkway under the Hagley Road, Birmingham. Taken while waiting for people to pass the other way as the tunnel is a bit tight for social distancing restrictions.
The tunnel marks the point where the former Harborne branch line passed under the road. It closed as part of the Beeching cuts and was converted into a path in the 1970s.
I was surprised with the skies parted on Saturday it was supposed to be cloudy all day long. Our first snow of the year will arrive later today with 1-3 inches. Something worth photographing :) Five exposure HDR processed with Nik HDR Efex Pro 2

In case you didn't know this is what the solar system might look like.
I had to atually do some "Honey Dos" last weekend.
You know the ones - Honey do this, Honey do that.
So some paint on metal posts had to be touched up and naturally it was a special paint which I had to hunt down. Made by Resene Paint in New Zealand, it is a metallic paint, and quite stiff as you can see from the picture above, taken after stirring it to try to make the contents evenly dispersed throughout the mix.
For those that are polychromatically challenged, metallic paint has a aluminium type substrate added which gives it a sparkly effect.
Most new cars these days are painted in metallic as often and only white is offered in the "normal" price and any other colour costs extra, perhaps another way that the manufacturers use to surgically remove more $$ from you.
Metallic paint is also called polychromatic or "metal flake" paint.
Historically, it was difficult to achieve an invisible repair if the paint was damaged because it is critical at which angle the flakes in the paint lie. Modern techniques have more or less eliminated this problem. Similarly it was difficult for amateurs to get an evenly dispersed mix of the metallics, and when sprayed on a surface, would clearly show up. Trust me I speak from experience.
It appears that metallic paint use on cars goes back to about 1930 which surprises me.

As Smooth As Theme
Dark-ages-era spacey stuff recovered from my old computer. (Again, please excuse my poor 2014-era photography skills... or lack thereof)
The United Systems Military Fleet (USMF) was a faction I created out my love of combing things old and new. The old being classic Lego space set parts from the likes of Futuron, M-Tron, Ice Planet, and Blacktron and then combining those classic elements with the new parts Lego had designed since then.
The colors being the simple red and white were born out of a desire to use the most classic parts in those colors and introducing the newer dark bley to add a touch of modernity.
The USMF was faction I have an affection for as it has direct ties to classic space sets of yesteryear with some of the pizzaz of new parts and new building techniques. This is somewhat unlike the other factions I have made (the CLC and CDN) as they are more modern military-focused, with basically none of the old space elements many of us grew up loving.
As I get increasingly nostalgic as the years march on, I intend to revisit this theme and these fleets of ships. They may be reduced to their elements at this point, but I feel a revival coming...
Here's my entry to the TTV Brickonicle Contest. I wanted to incorporate the original canister types in a way that made sense for a modern lego set. Here it is used as the main storage section on a transport vehicle.
The label would be on the inside of the canister instead of the outside, and it would also be reversible to show a more fitting print to go with the scene. In this case, it is a riveted paneling texture.

This is Yanaginuma, located just after entering from the west side of the Goshikinuma scenic trail. The main pond on the other side wasn't frozen, but this one was completely white.
