A thousand dreams. And somewhere in there life is hiding as well. Live a thousand lives by picture, as Tuxedomoon used to sing.
The Inca built extensive terraces for agriculture to sustain the people living at the remote location of Machu Picchu. What amazing feats of construction in an environment of steep ridges and deep river valleys!

New Slains Castle, first built in 1597 by Francis Hay 9th Earl of Erroll, sits at the top of the cliffs on the North Sea coast of Aberdeenshire; overlooking the Bay of Cruden to the southwest and the villages of Port Erroll and Cruden Bay about 1km to the west.
It is known as New Slains Castle to distinguish it from the nearby Old Slains Castle which was all but destroyed in 1594.
The author Bram Stoker (1847-1912) visited New Slains Castle before it fell into ruin and it apparently inspired him to write his novel Dracula. The novel's description of Dracula's castle does bear some resemblance to Slains including a reference to a small octagonal room which seems to match with the octagonal tower at Slains and the building's location on the top of steep cliffs.
Bram Stoker was a frequent visitor to Cruden Bay for summer holidays between 1892 and 1910. He usually stayed at the Kilmarnock Arms Hotel in Cruden Bay during these holidays and wrote part of his Dracula novel while visiting Cruden Bay in 1896.
Falling for him wasn't falling at all
It was walking into a house
and suddenly knowing you're home.

Spaceman Spiff and the Great Time Fraud
Imagine you were a space traveller like Spaceman Spiff, and you finally found an alien civilization that has mastered time travel. These aliens can effortlessly travel to and fro in time without experiencing weird side effects, time paradoxes, or imposing dangerous changes to various timelines. And on top of that they are not only welcoming, but happily offer you to replace your old, (t)rusty spaceship (a bit battered from your space adventures, and you are also running out of spare parts) with one of their time-travelling ships. Would you say "No!" to this offer? Not if you are Spaceman Spiff whose alter ego Calvin deems himself to be the actual genius inventor of time travel ("Who are these aliens anyway, right, Hobbes? Hobbes?! Stop that eye-rolling! Hobbes?!?"). Spiff didn't even mind the fact that said time-travelling ship wasn't of the latest generation (let alone the previous generation or the generation before...). And so it happened that after a few lightyears away from planet time travel, on their way to new adventures through time and space, Hobbes (Calvin aka Spiff was too much occupied with bathing in the glory of having wangled this gem of a ship off these slightly dumb aliens) all of a sudden noticed that something was wrong with the mission timer. Its time didn't match the time his trusty (and thanks to multi-band 6 always accurate) G-Shock GW-M5610U-1 displayed. Could it be possible that the time-travelling ship's mission timer gained time? Oh dear, he should tell Calvi...Spiff! They had to find a way to replace the faulty mission-timer or they'd never make it back to their own timeline!
Well. Did Spiff and his long-suffering "No 1" Hobbes find a way back to the year 1997 to find a brand new Swatch Scuba Irony 200 "Hydrospace"? I'm afraid I don't know but actually, I'm quite confident because my very own Scuba Hydrospace (the only Swatch I have kept) that I have recently woken up from a long slumber with a new battery does not only still work after all these years, but it's still pretty accurate as well. Transferred to Spaceman Spiff's unfortunate situation this probably means that he and his loyal companion Hobbes will eventually travel back to their own timeline and maybe even back to the exact day they left Earth – provided Spiff aka Calvin lets Hobbes steer the course for once ;)
So I hope there is enough glass (the Scuba's domed crystal) in the image to suit the theme. The final image is made from 15 focus-stacking images combined in Helicon Focus.

The station, designed in Soviet style and originally named Moskevská, was opened in November 1985 as part of the inaugural section of Line B. The station was renamed to Anděl, after the nearby neighborhood.
Walls tidied up in PS… unfortunately, the real station is covered with tons of poor quality graffiti.

A sunset photo of lake Taupo and the old Tokaanu Wharf. According to the interwebs it dates back to the 1880's but was restored about 20 years ago after falling into disrepair.
I used to regularly commute past lake Taupo every month and would drive through Tokaanu, stopping here on occasion. I was inspired to do a long exposure by seeing other photographers work on Flickr and finally got the chance on one of my last trips! Enjoy!

HSoS!
Many thanks for all the kind comments and faves on my images. Have a good, safe weekend everyone!
I promised another welding shot once the sculpture started to look more like a dragon. Still a work in progress but definitely taking shape. This is a close side profile of the face, peeking through the mouth.

Composite of three exposures: 0.8s @f5.6, 1/4s @ f5.6 and 30s @ f/11 ISO 100.
I would have liked to do a longer exposure but the projections on the opera house change colour rather quickly.
Thanks all for your faves and compliments. Really happy this is made it into explore.
