Be a lady tonight
I asked the lady to dinner
But as luck would have it
She never appeared
Stood me up
And left me standing there
Alone
Bereft
And out of luck
I placed my bets
Pleaded for mercy
Said some prayers
Made some promises
And watched the wheel spin
To no avail
While the lady seemed busy
Elsewhere
And the ball kept dropping
Hopping
And falling
Landing on every number but mine

The Copernicus Sentinel-2A satellite takes us over northern Brazil on 22 August 2017, where the Amazon River meets the Atlantic Ocean.
The sediment-laden water appears brown as it flows from the lower left to the open ocean in the upper right. ‘Popcorn’ clouds are visible in parts of the image – a common occurrence during the Amazon’s dry season, formed by condensed water vapour released by plants and trees during the sunny day.
The land varies in colour from the deep green of dense vegetation to light brown. Taking a closer look to the upper-left section of the image, we can see large brown areas where the vegetation has already been cleared away. Geometric shapes indicate agricultural fields, and linear roads cut through the remaining dense vegetation.
Rainforests worldwide are being destroyed at an alarming rate. This is of great concern because they play an important role in global climate, and are home to a wide variety of plants, animals and insects. More than a third of all species in the world live in the Amazon Rainforest.
Unlike other forests, rainforests have difficulty regrowing after they are destroyed and, owing to their composition, their soils are not suitable for long-term agricultural use.
With their unique view from space, Earth observation satellites have been instrumental in highlighting the vulnerability of the rainforests by documenting the scale of deforestation.

Here is the full diorama of all four Amazon builds created for mine and Bartu's Amazon collaboration!
First of all: Be sure to check out the Full Video of this build! This includes Bartu's masterful compositions, which is how this collaboration really comes alive! Don't miss it! :D
Hope you've enjoyed this collaboration! It has been quite a different one, working in two separate mediums, but I really want to thank Bartu for initiating this! It's been a very fun, interesting and intense month! Thanks!
One last thing: You seriously need to check out the VIDEO result of this collab to see how the music and lego builds work together. If not, you will just be seeing half of it :)

“the primary Amazon distribution facility in Western Canada.”
The Rivian EDV (Electric Delivery Van) was developed together with Amazon. The company ordered 100,000 of these vans to be delivered until 2030. The first ones were on the road in 2021 in the USA. In 2023 Germany was the first country in Europe to get these Rivian vans.
The second theme of mine and Bartu's Amazon collaboration is 'The Rainforest' :)
This was a fun build as I love to build trees and vegetation. I knew I wanted at least one very big tree, surrounded by some thinner and possibly shorter ones. This lead me to try out something I've not really tried, a tree with a square base. I generally think these trees don't turn out as nice as more organic techniques, and it seems hard to overcome the square frame and make it look round in a natural way. However, since I felt stability might be an issue with the more experimental techniques, I decided to go for it and see if I could make square trees look good :)
Another area where I went in a slightly unusual direction was the color of the trunk. I've seen images of more pale-ish trees in the rainforest and I decided to try one out. I was actually considering using light bluish grey at first, but settled for tan in the end, though in hindsight, LBG would probably have been a more interesting choice.
Vegetation is mostly pretty standard though I did try a couple of new techniques. Went with a bit more color here as well, compared to the first build.
Lastly I added quite a number of animals, to make the jungle come alive :)
Hope you enjoy the result! :)

Subject to availability. The Amazon rainforest, or at least what's left of it, generates a large part of the oxygen that you breathe. A few decades back, these photos would've been dark green.
Nur solange Vorrat reicht. Der Regenwald im Amazonasbecken, oder zumindest das, was davon übrig ist, erzeugt ein Großteil des Sauerstoffes, den wir alle atmen. Vor ein paar Jahrzehnten wären diese Fotos noch dunkelgrün gewesen.

I promised myself that I would get fresh flowers for the table. Winter is not very colorful here in the southwest, so this I think makes it a bit cheerier. The Amazon's were delighted and have never seen flowers before. Of course went right for the white roses!
Over the past month I've been working on a collaboration, together with talented violinist, Bartu Elci-Ozsoy (LegoModularFan), portraying the Amazon rain-forest, in Lego and in music. Bartu would compose and record music in the spirit of the theme, while I would try to depict it in Lego.
The project has been divided in 4 themes, each dealing with a certain aspect of the Amazon. The first theme was 'The River' which can be seen in these images.
I'm quite happy with how the build turned out. I may have envisioned it even more overgrown, but this will be accomplished when the next theme build is added next to it.
I tried out a number of new techniques in this build (as well as many old ones) of which the hanging bright green leaves was probably the most central. I think it turned out alright, but the technique needs more polish in order to be reliable. I like the idea of gravity deciding how the leaves will hang, but it can sometimes look a bit limp and needs some rearranging to look good at times.
I hope you enjoy the result! 😃
