Taking a little detour from the ZOOming! series to show you guys this incredible landscape I came across very recently, during yet another one of my photographic road trips. It was really a breathtaking place to be and I felt so lucky to be able to capture it, even though I don't think the picture does justie to the actuall view!
This proved to be more difficult then I thought. We have a actuall door bell out front. I thought it would be easy to shoot. It wasn't exactly. That is the clanger or clapper in the back. This shot is about 1.5" for anyone wondering. If any one remembers Johnny Carson and you want a good laugh, check this out.

Happy Macro Mondays
i cant but im expecting him to jump out of the waterfall any second now and search for his "preeeeeeecios".........
This is the actuall colours of the shot, i almost made it purple for fun but that ruined that Gollum feel lol.

Diese Lachmöwe hatte sichtlich Spaß an diesem tollen Morgen. Eigentlich war sie nur auf Futtersuche, aber dazu sprang sie immer wieder aus dem Wasser in das Wasser.. Ich glaube ja sie hatte mächtig Spaß an dem Morgen! zum Glück in top Foto Entfernung mit super Licht dazu..
This Laridae had some great fun that morning. It was beautiful outside and it jumped out of the water and right back into it.. Actuallly it was looking for some food, but I think it had a blast!
This was taken from the top of Mam Tor hill in the peak district, this image is not the image I actuallly planned to take, the shot I wanted involved me being in the same place until well after dark which would have been fine were it not for the constant wind, I managed to stay up there for 2 hours and then had to call it a night as I was shaking uncontrollably from cold.
Thank you for looking. I would really appreciate it if you could follow me on Facebook: www.facebook.com/shutterhive
Railroad tracks with powerlines in the background. These are actuall active tracks, although not very busy. They are in dire need of maintenance.
Een perfect voorbeeld van een foto die niet meer gemaakt worden kan, is deze hier.
Te zien is loc W232.04 van de firma Schauffele (die sind 2004 niet meer bestaat) aan de Stralauer Allee in Berlin Osthafen (waar al lang geen sporen meer liggen) met nog een stuk van de Berlijnse muur in de achtergrond (wat inmiddels ook verwijderd is). Bovenop komt nog, dat hier momenteel gebouwd wordt en nieuwe moderne complexen ontstaan.
Maar goed, dat alles wist ik niet toen ik op 29 maart 2004 onderweg naar huis was en deze foto maakte :-)
In jeder Hinsicht historisch ist dieses Bild hier. Zu sehen ist die Schauffele W232.04 am 29. März 2004 - drei Monate bevor ein Insolvenzverfahren eröffnet wurde. Die Lok steht Bild an der Stralauer Allee in Berlin Osthafen - die Gleise sind hier allerdings schon vor Jahren entfernt worden. Auch der Tunnel der den Anschluß nach Ostkreuz bot, gibt es nicht mehr.
Die Ãœberreste der Berliner Mauer im Hintergrund - die sind jetzt auch weg.
Und letztendlich wird auch diese Fläche das nächste hochmoderne Gebäude hochgezogen.
So schnell kann es gehen und kann man ein - nicht besonderes hübsches Fleckchen Berlin - in ein Nobelviertel transformieren :-)
Historic in every sense is this shot here. Taken on March 29th 2004, it shows Schauffele engine W232.04 in Berlin Osthafen.
- The company Schauffele filed for bankrupcy three months after the shot was taken
- This particular location is free of tracks now and new and modern buildings have been built here.
- The remnants of the Berlin wall in the background (yes, the actuall wall) have finally been removed as well - was about time anyway :-)
This clump of moss has been sat on the garage roof for some time and I've been eyeing it up trying to work out what to do with it. Well Saturday I prized it off and actuall did something....

Day 9:
There are days when you just have too much swirling around in your head that it prevents
you from doing anything. That was today for me. I really had NO idea what to shoot today. This is all I could manage.
Although I am not without something interesting for you.
Nobody has asked, but I figured I would give a little information on what type of Gummy Bears and where it is that I get them from.
They are sugar-free Gummy Bears and I purchase them by the pound at Rocky Mountain
Chocolate Factory at Bella Terra in Huntington Beach, CA.
However they are not originally from them. I did a bit of research and I found out that the
Gummy Bears, at least the sugar-free ones, are actuall Jelly Belly Sugar-Free Gummy Bears. Now this is based upon comparisons of size, shape, color and flavor and not actual
confirmation from either of the two companies.
Well that is it for me today.
Early on Saturday moning I was out and about for a walk in a forest and around a pond which is the home of many frogs. There are hundreds of them but often you only hear them. This time I was lucky and actuallly saw one but had to peek though the reeds to take photos, always trying to avoid any unnecessary movement which could startle him. The water was muddy and ugly but that's something the frogs like because they can hide in there even better.
...of Colton Tower. That's where this view of a couple of SP trains was shot from. U28C 7154 has just received a proceed signal and is about to cross the Santa Fe and head west towards West Colton. The two geeps on a short two-car local will wait for an eastbound to crossover, west of the diamonds, before they can proceed west. In actuallity, the three U28C's and lone SD35 are a light power move, probably helpers off of an ore train that originated on the Eagle Mountain Railway. In the distance to the right, are the remnants of the former Colton roundhouse and the water tank still stands as well.
Known as many different names such as Bald Hornet,White Faced Hornet,White-tailed Hornet,Spruce Wasp,Black jacket or as a Bull Wasp.This species is a Yellow Jacket Wasp... not a true Hornet.
Colonies contain between 400 to 700 workers.
The hive itself is created by them chewing naturally occurring fibers such as wood.This is mixed with their saliva to become a pulpy substance that they can then form into place.
This nest i am sure was the maximum size that can be created which is 14 inches in diameter and 23 inches in length !
Pushing on that trigger is like pulling magic into my very soul...Darrell.
Have a safe and happy day dear Flickr friends !

ET41-001 in the old painting scheme from 80ies, with a freight train from Warsaw Praga to somewhere in Silesia area is passing the newly built Warszawa Powązki passenger stop, located within the Warszawa Gdańska station and opened on November 1. The calendar marks exactly 101 years since the end of World War I at the moment of taking the photo whilst the calendar of this locomotive counts down the days until the future accident and it looks like only two days left. Because on November 13, 2019, this locomotive being on the head of a freight train, hit the container train of the Ecco Rail operator, that was standing still before Warszawa Gdańska entrance signal waiting for the permit for running. So the accident actuallly took place a 1-2 kilometers away from here. Here you can see the crime scene after couple of days.
The accident shuts down the locomotive for more than a year - it has been returned back in service after modernization to the newer standards together with general overhaul, and with old livery scheme left. As one section of the locomotive has been heavily damaged and scrapped later on, new ET41-001A section comes from ET41-012A.
There is also another fun fact linked to this photo. The opening of the Warszawa PowÄ…zki stop was not complete then - the footbridge visible on the photo, connecting the eastern end of the platform with Rydygiera Street hasn't been opened yet. When ET41-001 locomotive, after the reconstruction, was tested on September 30, 2020 before returning to the service, the footbridge still wasn't not available to travelers.

ET41-001 w malowaniu sprzed lat, z pociągiem towarowym z Warszawy Pragi gdzieś na Śląsk, mija nowo zbudowany, otwarty na niedawne święta przystanek osobowy Warszawa Powązki, zlokalizowany w obrębie stacji Warszawa Gdańska. Na kalendarzu mija równo 101 lat od zakończenia I Wojny Światowej i umownego odzyskania niepodległości przez Polskę, a kalendarz tej lokomotywy odlicza dni do wypadku, teraz już dwa dni, gdyż 13 listopada 2019 roku ta lokomotywa na szlaku Warszawa Jelonki - Warszawa Gdańska, czyli około kilometra - dwóch od tego miejsca, najedzie na pociąg kontenerowy przewoźnika Ecco Rail, stojący pod semaforem wjazdowym do stacji Warszawa Gdańska. Wypadek wyłączy lokomotywę na ponad rok - powróci do ruchu, będąc już zmodernizowana zgodnie z ostatnimi standardami przy naprawie P5. Po odbudowie aktualnym członem ET41-001A (oryginalny ucierpiał w wypadku i został skasowany) jest ex-ET41-012A.
Jest też inny wątek tego zdjęcia. Otwarcie przystanku Warszawa Powązki nie było kompletne - nie otwarto wtedy kładki łączącej wschodni kraniec peronu z ul. Rydygiera (kładka jest widoczna na zdjęciu). Otóż lokomotywa ET41 po odbudowie odbywała jazdy próbne 30 września 2020 roku, a wzmiankowana kładka wciąż nie była jest udostępniona dla podróżnych.

i got my film back todayy! not very good but hey, it was my first roll, so im learning.
funny story behind this picture actuallly.
we went into this area where they were digging for oil. ya know obviously restriced area right? well i mean there were these cool stacks of wood that we wanted to take pictures by..and we couldnt find a no trespassing sign..so we went inside the gates. but then a car came over to us and this picture was me acting like i was taking a picture of the pretty sunset so we didnt seem suspicious. the guy was nice though. but we did have to leave. and didnt get to take a picture where we intended to. but its whatevss.
had place in super dark and super crowded place, so no pictures of actuall dollpa from me, only 'guest' dolls that happened to gather on the tiny table right by the window...
JUST LOOK AT THIS TINY CUPCKAKE SUNSHINE ANGEL MUHUHUHUUHUHHUH <3
When you are out and about flying during the nights in April in Sweden, you better suit up. This male small chocolate-tip (Clostera pigra) certainly has taken this advice and is sporting an impressively thick fur overall - just look at those legs!
This particular one was sleeping outside my window but had chosen a spot ral close to the actuall window so I had some trouble getting the lens close enough.
LSWR William Adams designed T3 No 563 pauses at Corfe Castle with the last train of the day for Wareham.
A recreation with timelineevents. The T3 is actuallly dead and non-operational. With the use of smoke machines and lighting, the scene has come alive.

This was no ordinary sunset...last night in Alaska, .....I was thinking, ...the gods must be crazy ...in a good way!! Funny thing is, i was watching the sun set for about 1.5 hours sitting on top of a hill, when I realized, I gotta get to the lake! There are no special effecfts here, just a little brightness adjustment.....since this is a telephot shoot, the actuall big picture scene had orange in it as well. That will be a ....soon pic...
Love the logo but I wonder why they had to print "Bottle for beverage use only" on it. Kinley is actuallly a Coca Cola owned brand.

Gates to a factory long-gone. The gates are actuallly located at the end of a footbridge over the Leeds-Liverpool Canal, which used to link both halves ot the same Mill ( one otf which has now been completely demolished)

The Lucky 13 was one of my favorite dive bars in San Francisco. It closed in 2020 so they could tear it down and build condos.

Actuall a bit of both. Such a warm day here today (I saw +14) so I got this from the archives and reworked it. Has been uploaded a few years ago too. Interesting differances in the refractions of the water and Ice.
Her name was Alice Elizabeth Cahill (guessing about the last name). I think she had something to do with Cleveland first, and then Chicago. There was a letter than talked about her singing talent, but I didn't buy it because the seller has high prices. A bunch of photos from her wedding too---didn't like to think about her marrying somebody else (he looked decent enough, but wasn't going to make the cover of GQ)
Actuallly, I think she's bribing the squirrel with some food. She wouldn't have to bribe me.
This is one of only two images that i managed to get on my trip to Westward Ho on staurday with Bryony (Brylove_13 Catching up slowly).
This gulley is actuallly quite deep, a good 10 ft or so and as we were making our way back from shooting the stumps i looked down and realised there may be a shot in it.
This is actually a 3 shot HDR with some of the original image blended back in to tone it down a touch.
The second part of the drydock navy Base. Some warehouses, a freight depot and a small light house.
I also changed a bit on the actuall dock.
Scale: 1:155, trophy figure scale
This is an unfortunate image.
Several of us were out photographing this morning...and spotted this GBH across the lake, partially hidden in its normal ground location. Too far to photograph, I went around to flush the Blue Heron so it would fly out towards the others. That worked great, and I still managed to grab some shots.
Processing them gave me an unhappy surprise. As you can see in the photo, this Blue Heron has lost both of its feet. I'm certain this is the bird I stalked all last summer and fall...and it was fine then. We don't have alligators, or other predators which could have done this. I have to assume -- sadly -- that this Heron actuall got frozen into the water somewhere, and lost its feet getting free.
Didn't seem to have any problem on the ground, but I'm not sure how it will be able to perch up at the top of tall trees. ** SAD **
I left Portland at 5:00 am to try and catch the sunrise glistening off Mt Hood. I arrived at Trillium lake at 6:30 while it was still dark. I'm grateful I arrived when I did to take some of these shots before the sun actuall rose because as the sun was rising fog completely covered the mountain. I'm glad it wasn't a wasted trip. This time...I was prepared for the cold weather.
This is another outtake from Macro Mondays "my favorite Book" theme. In this case the book is actually the series of "Jesse Stone" novels written by Robert Parker, the creator of the "Spencer" series of books. In these, Jesse Stone is an alcoholic cop fired from the LA police who somehow finds himself as Chief of Police in a fictional small town near Boston (and there is a sinister reason he was hired, which he thwarts, of course).
Scotch was his drink of choice, so this image is is of an actuall glass of a nice single malt scotch in front of some books. The visible book is actually called "Bootlegger", whioch this could also represent. It is written by Clive Cussler and features a "Van Dorn" detective (fictionalized version of the Pinkertons) who in this case captures some bootleggers during prohibition. Clive Cussler is another favorite author, obviously :).
Here is my newest fig after a month or two of not making anything at all.
So here's a fig of a WW1 Soldier, not really it's main inspiration was an allied soldier but not much more as I didn't use any reference. I used Procreate to sculpt the gas mask, jacket, and boots. Used Citadel, Apple Barrel, and Anita to paint it. I guess you could also consider this an updated version on my old soldier which was actuall trash, and that was based off if Mclovin's old fig so credit to him!
Gonna keep it short for this fig, comments and faves appreciated!
Just thought I'd throw together something simpler than usual while trying a few things. I've been wanting to draw her for a while actuallly and she looks pretty good as a minifigure!
For those not in the know.
Nothing to do with Microsoft Office for Windows.
Actuallly, I work in that builing for years now and somehow never notice that specific view. A special light maybe yesterday.. anyway, here is.
74 degrees in February ... wow! I went down to the sacramento River to soak in the warmth and discovered this guy also soaking up some rays. Actuall, you can see a bit of something in its beak. You can see the wind blowing the tail feathers.
Self Portrait. One I always thought made me look a bit arrogant. On the contrary I can be quite shy at times which sometimes is taken as stand-offish but in actuallity I'm just at a loss on how to say hi and I'd like to get to know you.
This was taken on the 44th floor where I work, down town Chicago.

I recently spent about an hour in the small Älvsjöskogens naturreservat together with my wife which was nice. It's quite secluded and situated lower than the surroundings so pretty much all of the noises of the city disappeared when in there.
Animal life was fairly limited though at this point in the season but one I managed to find was this red-breasted carrion beetle (Oiceoptoma thoracicum).
Now the name carrion beetle implies that it eats carrion, but it is actually a bit of the opposite.
They locate the carrion and lay their eggs under it, but both the adult beetles and thier larvae prefer to eat fly maggots in the carrion to the actuall carrion, which I suppose makes their presence actually detrimental to the breakdown of dead animals.
I must let you all know that this is not a plastic or lights source manipulations.
This is actuallly the petal of the giant Dutch Dahlia. From a trash shot & I use the Picasa & Corel to turn it to a abstract catchy color image that I call it NaNo.
I am a little upset over the 1st result, I am attempting to remove the black spot at both corners but it is not natural after.
Therefore, I decided to leave it as natural; after the post processing quality control.
The color; contract & clarity is actually by default initially. It is by design to enhance it to become this abstract art of nature.
This is another NaNo project. The color is R G B. & it is a Natural Art Creation.
Sorry I've been so absent from flickr recently! the whole new layout is just gotten me really uninspired. So I made my single pack SAW a yellow wig...and I really really like how the wig came out but I honestly can say I don't love it on her...I actuall prefer it on liv and moxie teenz! but yeah, this is the only decent picture from the photoshoot I did X) I've had this picture sitting in my computer for like weeks X)
BTW yes, I know you can see the tracks lmfao the tracks are sewn with dark brown thread like wtf! X)
So this is the first LGG project, the Königstiger (Kingtiger, Tiger II).
As some of you (all of you) problety know LegoUli has already released his version of the group project, and here is mine!!
As you can see they have some major difference, such as the whole turret and the dishes as wheels, and i dont have the side skirts, and well, its the best tank i have ever putted toghter!!
This is also my enter for DutchLegos contest!
_______________________________________________________________________________
Königstiger:
Tiger II is the common name of a German heavy tank of the Second World War. The final official German designation was Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. B,[notes 1] often shortened to Tiger B. The ordnance inventory designation was Sd.Kfz. 182. It is also known under the informal name Königstiger (the German name for the "Bengal tiger"), often translated as King Tiger or Royal Tiger by Allied soldiers.

Facts about this model:
The turret inclueds three fully functional hatches (main hatch, cold-driver hatch and escape hatch on the back of the turret). It also inclueds three opening hatches on the actuall haul, one on the back, and two in the fron section (those slide-opens as they are suppost to do).

Vic over at Eclipse has brought back the Xmen with a bang! I've built Nightcrawler, Beast and Wolverine to compliment his tempest and lazerbeam.. These are probably my favorite Xmen minus gambit and Angel, guess who is next!
Nightcrawler
Beast
Storm
Wolverine
Cyclops
Lazerbeam is a different version of a shot by Cmorgenweck, copy is a dirty word but if somethings good then I want to use it! generally inspired by jaypercent!! :)
I also have misplaced Nightcrawlers one off blue brickwarriors tail. almost blew a blood vessel looking for that.,,,
Yesterday i had a photoshooting with 2 beautiful colleagues of mine! Here is Maria. She is very talented and she really can pose like an actuall model. I was very happy with the result. I will upload more photos during the following days! I hope you'll like them!
had place in super dark and super crowded place, so no pictures of actuall dollpa from me, only 'guest' dolls that happened to gather on the tiny table right by the window...
After a 2 week building process (the longest time I have ever spend on a single model) I finally finished her!
Queen Anne´s Revenge! And what can I say? This has to be one of the better things I have created under the years, it turned out better then I ever could have imagened! I where managed to make the very high and iconic cabin at the back and still keep the ship long and sleek.
The ship features an elevating anchor and a removable cabin with a totall of three levels, two actuall cabins and the steering deck.
Queen Anne´s Revenge:
Queen Anne's Revenge was the name of English pirate Blackbeard's flagship, used by him for less than a year,[2] but an effective tool in his prize taking.
In 1718, Blackbeard had gone aground in the ship at Beaufort Inlet, Carteret County, North Carolina, in the present-day United States.[2] In late 1996, Intersal, the private contractor working for the state of North Carolina in marine recovery, discovered the remains of a vessel likely to be the Queen Anne's Revenge.
