I was sitting in our living room when out of the corner of my eye I spotted through the window what seemed like a black bird landing near the top of a utility pole on our front yard. At first I thought that it might be a grackle or a crow. A closer look revealed that it was a male Pileated Woodpecker. I have seen a few of these around the neighborhood in the past, but never one so close to the house. I grabbed my camera and a long lens and went outside. He stayed in place long enough to let me shoot several dozen frames and then flew off.
The Pileated Woodpecker is a bird native to North America. It normally inhabits deciduous forests in eastern North America, the Great Lakes, the boreal forests of Canada, and parts of the Pacific coast. It is the second-largest woodpecker in the United States, after the critically endangered and possibly extinct Ivory-Billed Woodpecker. The term "pileated" refers to the bird's prominent red crest, with the term from the Latin pileatus meaning "capped". Adults are 16 to 19 inches (40 to 49 cm) long, span 26 to 30 inches (66 to 75 cm) across the wings, and weigh 8.8 to 14 ounces (250 to 400g), with an average weight of 11 ounces (300g). They are mainly black with a red crest, and have a white line down the sides of the throat. They show white on the wings in flight. The flight of these birds is strong and direct, but undulates in the way characteristic of woodpeckers. Adult males have a red line from the bill to the throat, while in adult females these are black. Two species found in the Old World, the white-bellied and black woodpeckers, are closely related and occupy the same ecological niche in their respective ranges that the pileated occupies in North America. The only North American birds of similar plumage and size are the ivory-billed woodpecker of the Southeastern United States and Cuba, and the related imperial woodpecker of Mexico. However, unlike the pileated, both of those species are extremely rare, if not extinct. Most reports of the ivory-billed woodpecker are believed to be erroneous reports of the far more common pileated.

Saint-Gobain PAM Canalisation began as a modest foundry in France.
The company was called the “Société Anonyme des hauts fourneaux et fonderies de Pont-à-Mousson”.
The industrial venture at Pont-à-Mousson started almost by accident after the discovery of a large deposit of iron ore in the Meurth-et-Moselle area of France in 1854.
A decision was made to produce iron pipes and the first one was manufactured in 1865.
In an innovative step at that time, the “Société Anonyme des hauts fourneaux et fonderies de Pont-à-Mousson” immediately created a sales department, a decision that heralded the start of its specialization in water transportation.
Over time the company has expanded into a worldwide conglomerate.
Approaching the top station of the Zao ski resort at an altitude of 1650m, where the ropeway towers themselves turn into beautiful ice sculptures, just as the Juhyo, the snow/frost covered “snow monster” trees Mt. Zao is also famous for. A truly incredible ride in thick mist and an eerie silence, bar the howling and, as verified soon after, frozen wind, one of the harshest environments my camera, my fingers and what is luckily still attached to them have ever been into!

hi guys, this is my first attempt on a Minifig scale MOC so I thought it was better to go with something "not too difficult" but at the end it really gave me more headaches than any of my other MOCs so far. The boxy and compact kind-of-retro shape wasn't as easy as I thought at first. I also tried my best to make it quite robust and playable so my 3yo son could play with it, which he happily did with good results:
"hey daddy! you can fit a minifig in here! wow I like it"… and daddy had a big smile on his face xD
Anyway, this is based on the M299 Utility Vehicle from SDF Macross, I ended up adding some personal touches here and there though, like the all new sexy and curvy screen shield :) btw, credits goes to my wife Vicky and her super idea for the seats pieces, I would have never dare to use purple seats on this model but at the end I think they look really nice on it.
Hope you like it :)
Our utility lines are in the process of being placed underground. I can't wait. This ugly mess is next to our garage.
