This striking photograph from Yuri Beletsky captures many wonders — both terrestrial and astronomical — across an incredible distance scale.
In the immediate foreground looms ESO’s VISTA survey telescope. This 4.1-metre telescope scans the skies in infrared light, picking out astronomical objects of interest so that they can be studied by the four 8.2-metre Unit Telescopes of ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) facility. This facility can be seen on the mountaintop to VISTA’s right, about a kilometre up the road.
In the sky above VISTA a luminous and dark-ribboned band runs from lower left to top right. This is the disc of the Milky Way, seen edge-on and looking inward toward the galactic core. Although we cannot see all the way to the core with our unaided eyes, we have gauged its distance as about 30 000 light-years from us. That distance works out as about 280 quadrillion kilometres, or 280 000 000 000 000 000 trips up the road from VISTA to the VLT!
The glowing blob seen here almost directly overhead of the VLT is the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), a dwarf galaxy that neighbours the Milky Way. It is about 160 000 light-years away. Below and slightly to the left of the LMC is another diffuse brightness in the sky, the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). This galaxy is nearly 200 000 light-years away meaning that, walking at five kilometres an hour, the journey to the SMC would take more than 43 trillion years.

A Union Pacific Operation Lifesaver special rolls eastward through Elgin on the former CNW's Belvidere Subdivision in 2007. With another E9 on the rear for ease of operations, the nice passenger train ping-ponged around the Chicagoland area for a week or so showing off.
Union Pacific has since decided that dirty-ass freight motors pull these trains just as well if not better, and no one other than the photographers and a few rails even notice the difference.

First test build of a new model of an everyday modern type of building. Do those silly entrance porticos really add any merit to such a dull structure?
Two additional Jinbei units na airconditioned. Hindi padin tumtatkbo yung mga kapatid nyang nakunan ko dati :-)
Yet another unphotographed build... This one is from back in April. I need to redesign the crane a bit, but otherwise done.
3026 and 7585 stir up a mini ground blizzard of snow dust as they accelerate away from Trout Lake with the Tilden empties in late February 2001. This job to OACTI tended to do a lot of the short work between Soo Yard and Gladstone toward the last year or two of the WC. Today was no exception as there is a head end fill of pulp and boxcar traffic picked up in Trout Lake from the Munising job.
I've been gripped by Colas fever of late and as such I drove to East Midlands Parkway for the Colnbrook - Lindsey tanks which I knew would be a Tug, but in the meantime anything else was a bonus.
Bonus number one.
66503, passes through East Midlands Parkway, with a Derby - Bletchley TMD, move. Incidentally, this qualifies as one of the more interesting consists I've seen for a while, a unit sandwiched between six wagons, three on either end.
L55131 30 departing Brantford for Aldershot with 19 cars
A435 had set BCOL 4605 off at Brantford for them to make this move
A surprisingly busy Leeds station shortly after 06.30 hours finds Northern's 195005 waiting its next duty.
172333 approaches Tyseley with 2S22 the 09.03 Worcester Foregate Street to Whitlocks End service.
The idea behind letting the train run into the light then using monochrome was to try and create a 3D view from 2D

For Modern Conflict and the Chinese army. I hope it is not too futuristic. I think about modeling or buying some vests...
History: A product of the pride of the Predecessors, Project: Avalon is the first successful attempt at creating a synthetic life form. Unit-7 was built by the Predecessors to wield the Distortion Engine, a device that can bend the fabric of reality. Avalon, as she prefers to be called, was programmed to serve Diaa in the Predecessor-Conduit war on Okoto. Following Diaa's fall, Avalon was temporarily deactivated, but Diaa reactivated her once he returned to Okoto. Now, she works for Diaa as he seeks revenge on Okoto.
Personality:
Although she was programmed to be an emotionless killing machine, Avalon possesses a pure soul. Even after years of being used as a living weapon, she is naive and innocent at heart. She is not particularly evil; she has merely been misguided by Diaa. She has even showed the capacity to care for eithers, as is exemplified by her friendship with her partner, Ryylem. The disparity between her soul and her intended nature and her inability to fully tap into the Distortion Engine's power led her creators to build her siblings, Unit-8 Echelon and Unit-9 Paragon.
Abilities: Avalon is an incredibly capable fighter, able to defeat even Ahi and Gaxello in combat. Her synthetic body is quite strong, and her programming gives her a proprensity for tactics and strategy. Her levitation gear gear grants her great mobility and agility on the ground and in the air. The Caliburn blades are versatile weapons that can be mounted on her shoulders as guns, or can be used as katanas. Her most useful tool is her Distortion Engine which she carries on her back. She can use this device to bend reality around her, allowing her to deflect attacks. She can also use her engine offensively by combining it with her Caliburn blades to form Excalibur, the Distortion Blade.
Note: The only known individual to defeat Avalon is Krona.

Incineration chambers at the long-abandoned Echo Lake Incinerator, Fort Worth, Texas. As you can see in this photo from Christmas 2007, the doors have since been cut off the burners, no doubt for scrap.
My favorite detail of this how the green-gelled strobe hit inside the foreground burner was fired from an angle that didn't quite completely covering the interior surface, leaving it to look like some sort of creeping nuclear fungus. Fun!
Large on Black...for best results.

Night, dark room, CTO-gelled X2000 flashlight, red & green-gelled strobes fired inside burners.
A Cargo System for (Classic) Space Minifig scale models based on standard cargo units (similar to ISO Containers).
I’ve already used the SCU for some models in the last few months:
- A cargo Unit for my LL 926 Space Crane
- My Transportable Base
- An SCU transport box/cage as a garage for my Transportable Rover
A simple transport cage can carry 6-wide vehicles as a roll-on-roll-off carrier and up to 8-wide scooters or other vehicles and equipment. Transport boxes and other Space Cargo Units are easy to build in endless variations – Expect to see more, soon ;-))
