I had a few ideas for 'Heart' the subject of Looking Close...on Friday! today. This is one of them: a silver necklace with amethyst made by Clare for me.
The M65 Atomic Cannon, often called Atomic Annie, was a towed artillery piece built by the United States and capable of firing a nuclear device. It was developed in the early 1950s, at the beginning of the Cold War, and fielded by 1953 in Europe and Korea.On May 25, 1953 at 8:30am, the Atomic Cannon was tested at Nevada Test Site (specifically Frenchman Flat) as part of the Upshot-Knothole series of nuclear tests. The test was codenamed Grable. Twenty were built, but the cannon at Fort Sill is the one that fired a nuclear round at Frenchman Flat. It is shown here with its support vehicles.

The Meteor, Mercury's long-running flagship sedan, is unmatched in style, power, and luxury. Step into a Meteor today and feel what its like to drive a shooting star!

For these builds I tried to imagine how a model might have evolved in a decade. As we progressed through the Atomic Age, vehicle styling went through quite a metamorphosis from the rocket-ship design cues of the 50's to the big land-yacht sedans of the 60's. I had a lot of fun with this, and I hope you guys (all 1000+ of you!) enjoy these as much as I did. As always, comments and constructive criticisms are welcome and appreciated, and thanks for looking!!
I took this photo of the skeletal remains of the “Atomic Bomb Dome” on an overcast day with my iPhone 17 Pro Max while exploring Hiroshima, Japan. The bomb exploded almost directly above the dome. It was originally known as the “Hiroshima Prefectural Commercial Exhibition Hall,” which opened in 1915. I was profoundly moved by the site and the Peace Memorial Park across from it…
That's the name of this rose, and you must forgive me for thinking of Marilyn Monroe (Norma Jean) whenever I see them. So for Valentine's Day here is a little dedication to a very sweet soul who left us all too soon, Marilyn Monroe. Your star will never fade Beautiful!

I've had this photo over twenty years but never posted it. I didn't take it and forget who did, maybe Harry Patterson.
Atomic Ranch celebrates the optimism of the Atomic Age. A time in post war America where the future was bright and architecture and design mirrored that optimism. The dream of owning your own post and beam style rancher and a Detroit automobile were well within reach. The space age signaled in a new era and the future never seamed so bright. Of course there was a constant threat of nuclear annihilation, but you could always excavate your yard to make way for a fall out shelter.
This was inspired by one of my favorite Mod style magazines; Atomic Ranch. A great resource for all your Mid-Century style needs.
The model is lighted with Blinky Bricks lights. www.blinkybricks.com/
Tangents from my reworking of the Solar piece. Most definitely not realtime. At 2500x2500, it runs at about 2 frames per second. Hopefully will get to make a video of it in action soon.
Atomic Robo is one of my favorite comics right now. If you've never read it or heard of it, go out and buy it now. Robo is the fictional creation of scientist Nikola Tesla, created in the early 1900s. All the stories are in miniseries format, some depicting present day and others depicting various times of his life. He fights monsters, vampires, robots, and the occasional talking dinosuar. Seriously, check it out, its good stuff.
Well, here it is. My second and final entry into the 100th Lugnut's challenge
I picked No. 98 and my assignment was to build any bubble top car.
I was originally going to build The Homer but settled for something a little more exciting and more my speed.
And once again I had tons of fun building and photographing this beauty.
The majority of the building got finished in the last few days and as one usually does there best work when under pressure I'm pretty satisfied with the result.
There are a few areas that I would have liked to spend more time tackling but hey, you need to stop at some point.
Thanks once again Lugnuts for another super fun challenge!
Let me know what you think.
Items left behind in one of the abandoned middle schools in Pripyat.
Named for the nearby Pripyat River, Pripyat was founded on 4 February 1970, the ninth nuclear city in the Soviet Union, for the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. It was officially proclaimed a city in 1979, and had grown to a population of 49,360 before being evacuated a few days after the 26 April 1986 Chernobyl disaster.
Though Pripyat is located within the administrative district of Ivankiv Raion, the abandoned city now has a special status within the larger Kiev Oblast (province), being administered directly from Kiev. Pripyat is also supervised by Ukraine's Ministry of Emergencies, which manages activities for the entire Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.
Access to Pripyat, unlike cities of military importance, was not restricted before the disaster as nuclear power stations were seen by the Soviet Union as safer than other types of power plants. Nuclear power stations were presented as being an achievement of Soviet engineering, where nuclear power was harnessed for peaceful projects. The slogan "peaceful atom" (Russian: ?????? ????, mirnyj atom) was popular during those times. The original plan had been to build the plant only 25 km (16 mi) from Kiev, but the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, among other bodies, expressed concern about it being too close to the city. As a result, the power station and Pripyat were built at their current locations, about 100 km (62 mi) from Kiev. After the disaster the city of Pripyat was evacuated in two days.
A 35 man (plus guides) trip to the Ukraine exploring Chernobyl, the village, Duga 3, Pripyat and Kiev including Maidan (Independence Square) and observing the peaceful protests underway.
Some new faces, some old, made new friends and generally we were in our elements.
Rhetorical question but did we have a blast? You bet!
Amazing group, top guys. Till the next time!

The Atomic Arrow is an extremely fast speeder bike named after its dart-like shape and neon-green glow. Equipped with a gamma fusion engine, hard-light stabilizer wings, and powerful thrusters, this lean, mean, racing machine was built for speed! You can see it here racing down the Nightline City Raceway at breakneck speeds piloted by its rider Jade Lightning.
This is my Nightline City entry for the Lego Speeder Bikes Racing League contest.
Richland, WA remembers the beginning of the Manhattan Project, 75 years ago. Music and dancing in the park recall the 40s and 50s.
Of course, on the flip side, there's this: www.flickr.com/photos/22298775@N05/40600214624/in/album-7...
