The engine model shown here is based on the 1:21 scale Bugatti Veyron SS model by Mr.Koenigsegg:
Bugatti Veyron EB 16.4
The Bugatti Veyron EB 16.4 is a mid-engined sports car, designed and developed in Germany by the Volkswagen Group and manufactured in Molsheim, France, by Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S.
The original version had a top speed of 407.12 km/h (252.97 mph). It was named Car of the Decade and best car award (2000–2009) by the BBC television programme Top Gear. The standard Bugatti Veyron also won Top Gear's Best Car Driven All Year award in 2005.
The current Super Sport version of the Veyron is recognized by Guinness World Records as the fastest street-legal production car in the world, with a top speed of 431.072 km/h (267.856 mph), and the roadster Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse version is the fastest roadster in the world, reaching an averaged top speed of 408.84 km/h (254.04 mph) in a test on 6 April 2013.
Name origin
The Veyron EB 16.4 is named in honour of Pierre Veyron, a Bugatti development engineer, test driver and company race driver who, with co-driver Jean-Pierre Wimille, won the 1939 24 hours of Le Mans while driving a Bugatti. The "EB" refers to Bugatti founder Ettore Bugatti and the "16.4" refers to the engine's 16 cylinders and 4 turbochargers.
World record controversy
A controversy developed in 2013 over the Veyron Super Sport's status as the world’s fastest production car, ultimately resolved in the Veyron's favor.
In early April 2013, driving.co.uk (also known as Sunday Times Driving) began an investigation following claims from US car maker Hennessey that its 928 kW (1,244 bhp) Hennessey Venom GT was entitled to the Guinness World Record. With a recorded speed of 427.6 km/h (265.7 mph) the Hennessey was 3.4 km/h (2.1 mph) slower than the Veyron but Hennessey dismissed Bugatti’s official record saying that the Veyron Super Sport was restricted to 415 km/h (258 mph) in production form and that for it to achieve its record top speed of 431.0 km/h (267.8 mph), the car used was in a state of tune not available to customers. Hennessey said its Venom GT was road-ready and unmodified and was therefore a production car in the strict sense of the term.
Driving.co.uk requested clarification from Guinness World Records, which investigated this claim and found that the modification was against the official guidelines of the record. Upon finding this, Guinness World Records voided the Super Sport's record and announced it was "reviewing this category with expert external consultants to ensure our records fairly reflect achievements in this field."
After further review, Shelby SuperCars, the producers of the Ultimate Aero TT, said that they had reclaimed the record, however Guinness reinstated the Super Sport's record after coming to the conclusion that "a change to the speed limiter does not alter the fundamental design of the car or its engine."

The photo is a full 360° x 180° panorama. It was taken with a full 360 VR spherical head (based on Benro components) mounted on tripod with my 1.6 crop CANON EOS 7D @ 15mm. It's based on 38 shots (3 rows with 30° angel steps, plus zenith, plus nadir), while each shot is a blending (HDR), based on a exposure series of 3 shots. So in total 114 shots are the base for this pano, generated with PtGui.
On Android mobile devices with "Google Galerie" App installed (I do not remember the version no. - it was pre-installed on my Google Nexus7 2013), you can move through the picture in a full 360°x180° walk. Please try and enjoy.

This is a cdv that has been altered by the photographer. The baby's head, arm and upper body have been carefully cut out from another photo (most likely of the same baby in a different setting) and pasted onto this one. The original photo of the baby may have been very blurry. The mother looks very displeased in this photo possibly because the baby was moving around or crying.

This is one of my most viewed photos. My mother had collected this along with a lot of other found photos.
I think it would make a great stamped image. I "sketched" it using Dumpr.net and then adjusted the contrast and brightness so it would be a little more intense.
Created with www.dumpr.net - fun with your photos
Altered book with found objects, fabric, handmade papers, herbs, embellishments, stamps, ink and acrylics.
What is an artist without his or her's muse?... a lost soul building up de urge to create but cannot achieve anything, now we can't have that do we?! So I made up this cute book with a recipe for a potion to find your muse again, including the ingredients and spell.
*note*
The ingredients, potion and spell are just a figment of my imagination and are in no way meant to be used in a serious matter.

The town of Butte, Montana (pronounced “byoot”) is known as the “Richest Hill on Earth” and "The Mining City". The Butte Mining District has produced gold, silver, copper, molybdenum, manganese, and other metals.
The area's bedrock consists of the Butte Quartz Monzonite (a.k.a. Butte Pluton), which is part of the Boulder Batholith. The Butte Quartz Monzonite ("BQM") formed 76.3 million years ago, during the mid-Campanian Stage in the Late Cretaceous. BQM rocks have been intruded and altered by hydrothermal veins containing valuable metallic minerals - principally sulfides. The copper mineralization has been dated to 62-66 million years ago, during the latest Maastrichtian Stage (latest Cretaceous) and Danian Stage (Early Paleocene). In the supergene enrichment zone of the area, the original sulfide mineralogy has been altered.
This is the grounds of the Orphan Girl Mine, on the western side of Montana Tech campus in Butte. The site is now a museum and includes the original headframe of the Orphan Girl Mine, so named because it was so far away from other Butte mines - it was alone. The mine operated from 1875 to 1957. It was a zinc-lead-silver mine, but principally a zinc mine.
Seen here is a roller mill ore crusher. The pieces of old mining equipment on the grounds at the museum are not necessarily from the original Orphan Girl Mine site - some have been brought in from other Butte mines.

Info. from onsite-signage:
ORPHAN GIRL MINE
From the time it was located in 1875 until it was purchased by Marcus Daly and associates in 1879, ownership and fractional shares in the Orphan Girl Mine changed hands faster than the ante in a poker game. The Orphan Girl eventually operated to a depth of over 3,000 feet. While not a huge producer according to Butte standards, by 1944 hardrock miners had removed a respectable 7,626,540 ounces of silver as well as lead and zinc from her depths. Cool temperatures between 55 and 65 degrees made the Orphan Girl - affectionately nicknamed "Orphan Annie" or "the Girl" - a desirable place to work, unlike some "hot boxes" where temperatures could top 100 degrees. By the end of the 1920s, the Anaconda Company owned the Girl which operated until the 1950s. In 1965, the Girl became the site of the World Museum of Mining.

This ATC altered card series are made from actual decomissioned playing cards from a local Indian Casino. In order to keep used cards from being mixed into a new deck, they drill holes through the old cards. Sometimes a single hole, sometimes a double. I thought it would be fun to utilized the holes as a primary visual and recycle these discarded cards as "Christmas Cards."
