Just got back from vacation to the Midwest, this is the Milwaukee Art Museum, located on the shores of Lake Michigan. Since the Milwaukee Lakefront faces East, this is a sunrise. (I hate waking up early). I was able to get some really great shots on my vacation, and they are very different from my typical images due to the different landscapes in the Midwest vs. the West Coast. This was the first morning, so I figured I would post this image first.
The Quadracci Pavilion of the Milwaukee Art Center was built in 2001 by famous Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, and was also featured in the 2011 film: Transformers Dark of the Moon.

A detail shot including the lovely AT-MP build that I got from BrickVault. A model worthy of getting for many reasons.

3rd August 2019- David of Manchester based 'Bones Shake' brought "A scuzzed fuzzed blues" vibe to Jimmy's in Liverpool. These lads were first on by virtue of the least social media 'Likes' (a strange stipulation in my eyes, but then, i'm 48..) but they manged to captivate an early audience. Starting your set by casually wandering through the crowd with a megaphone blarring an American Police siren generally tends to grab peoples attention!!
Out of curiosity, (and to see if anyone actually reads this shit..) has anyone ever seen the movie 'Midnight Express'?
To reach Everest Base Camp after eight days of a vigorous trek is an amazing feeling. To see the shimmering Khumbu icefall, the iconic yellow tents of EBC completely ensconced in a Colosseum of huge peaks & hustle & bustle on the approach is a magical moment alright. I laughed & choked at seeing the yellow tents; yes at the same time! :D

The Battle of Basing re-enactment of 2010 was carried out by The Sealed Knot, which is the oldest and largest historical re-enactment society in the UK and Europe, respectively.
The society is dedicated to commemorating and educating the public about the English Civil War and the 17th Century. They stage events throughout the country, including large-scale re-enactments of battles, skirmishes, and sieges, as well as smaller educational visits to schools. The Sealed Knot aims to honour those who died in the English Civil War, educate the public about the period, and bring history to life through immersive experiences. It is a registered educational charity.
The Sealed Knot takes its name from the original Sealed Knot, a secret association aimed at the restoration of the monarchy, although the modern incarnation has none of the political affiliations of its namesake. Apart from re-enactment, it is also involved in research into the history of the Civil War, and education (at the school or college level) about the same.
The siege of Basing House near Basingstoke in Hampshire, was a Parliamentarian victory late in the First English Civil War. Whereas the title of the event may suggest a single siege, there were in fact three major engagements. John Paulet, 5th Marquess of Winchester owned the House and as a committed Royalist garrisoned it in support of King Charles I, as it commanded the road from London to the west through Salisbury.
The first engagement was in November 1643, when Sir William Waller at the head of an army of about 7,000 attempted to take Basing House by direct assault.
Early in 1644 the Parliamentarians attempted to arrange the secret surrender of Basing House with Lord Edward Paulet, the Marquess of Winchester's younger brother, but the plot was discovered.
Then on 4 June 1644, Colonel Richard Norton using Parliamentary troops from the Hampshire garrisons closely invested Basing House and attempted to starve the garrison into submission. This siege was broken on 12 September 1644 when a relief column under the command of Colonel Henry Gage broke through parliamentary lines.
The final siege took place in October 1645, and the House caught fire and was badly damaged. What remained was "totally slighted and demolished" by order of Parliament, with the bricks of the House offered free to anyone who would cart them away.

Metroline OME2654 (YJ19HVE), based at Potters Bar, stands at Friern Barnet having operated a special extra service on Holloway route 43 from Archway.
Earlier in the day Holloway's BDE2645 had operated a handful of special extra trips on Potters Bar route 134 between Archway/Muswell Hill and North Finchley.
These specials were operating in conjunction with the Muswell Hill vintage route running day, commemorating the 30 (+1) year closure of the Muswell Hill bus garage (MH) in 1990.
J'ai modifié le code couleur et modifié les différents modules pour y ajouter une grand panel trans clear.
J'ai modifié les éclairages aussi afin qu'ils puissent être actionnés derrière les rochers à l'arrière du MOC

ATTENTION. This HB will only look correct when used with a lelutka head. I cannot guarantee how it will look on other brands heads. Always try the demos. Thanks.
In a neat segue from that last series, we return to Thirlmere, in the English Lake District, for a walk up to Raven Crag, continuing on to the bog-fest that is Bleaberry Fell, High Seat and High Tove on an overcast day in spring 2023.
Concreted
Saturday morning and me and my Father in law concreted the base for our greenhouse.
We mixed the concrete ourselves. It took 1.5 tonnes of limestone chippings, (just over) .5 tonne of building sand, and 9.5 bags of cement.
Though the perspective doesn’t look like it on this photo, the base is 8’6” x 8’6”, for the 8’ x 8’ greenhouse.
(The greenhouse arrived on Friday! The delivery time was 10 days, but it came in 4 days.
My weather app at lunchtime yesterday said that we could expect rain at 7.00pm. So it wouldn’t need covering …
At 1.30pm I set off to the football. Once I got inside Turf Moor it started raining… then barely stopped until nighttime. I wasn’t a happy man.
Fortunately, due to its sheltered position the rain hasn’t affected it.
I’ll erect the greenhouse in 7-10 days, once the concrete has fully hardened.

This is the first view you have from the top of Spinnaker Tower, and most people (including Ann Mari!) go"wow" when they first see it! It's a special view, as my first job was in various offices in the dockyard, and I had a good time there. Two notorious ships in this shot are HMS Warrior, in the foreground, and HMS Victory (towards the middle - it doesn't have the full masts up now)
There are actually three viewing floors in the tower, but this, the lowest, is the biggest and has the best views.
In medieval times, long before the naval base at Devonport was established, the English fleet would be moored in Cawsand Bay, which is part of Plymouth Sound. In 1596 the Spanish mounted a raid on Cawsand but were beaten off by the local militia, and a small fort was constructed on the knoll where the congregational church now stands.
The requirement for further defences in and around Cawsand Bay became clear in 1779 when the English fleet was absent and a 66-strong Franco-Spanish fleet anchored here intending to land 30,000 soldiers ashore. The invaders had planned to seize the high ground and bombard Plymouth. It would have served as a foothold on English soil. But as with the earlier Armada, the plans were disrupted by stormy weather.
A battery was then constructed above Cawsand and when a renewed threat from the French was perceived in the 1860s a series of large new forts were built to protect Plymouth (and Portsmouth) from attack by sea. It included the one above Cawsand (pictured) which was built on the site of the 18th century battery. These forts were to become known as Palmerston's Follies.
It was constructed with nine guns facing to seaward, covering Cawsand Bay itself, and a further 14 guns to protect the fort from a landward attack. But improved longer range weaponry on other forts in Plymouth Sound meant the coastal defence role of Cawsand had ceased by 1903. The fort remained garrisoned throughout WWI however and was released by the military in 1926. It is said that the guns were only fired once, causing houses in Cawsand village to fall down. After many years lying derelict it was converted into residences. It is now a Grade II-listed building.
