A fun build for the ABC’s of Castle, over on Classic-Castle. The idea is to pick a castle word that starts with any letter, build it and then post it (in alphabetical order). For my first contribution, I did the letter ‘B’, which stands for blacksmith.
The blacksmith shop lifts off the base for easy play-ability, and features a full interior, as well as hinging walls for easy access. Inspiration for the wall texturing goes to Rod Gillies.

The CSL, ('L' stands for 'leicht' in German, or 'lightweight') is based on the 3.0 CS coupe, continued to win races even into the 1980's, although production ended in 1975.
The base part to several builds I have. This is a blunt "How-To." It can be applied to more than just bases. Not sure if anyone will use this design but now you can see how its done.

Based on the countryside surrounding the inland city of Goulburn, Australia, rural life in the 19th century seems to have included building a lot of small, local stone churches. As with this image’s subject–St Bartholomew’s Anglican Church at Windellama–photographing these old, purpose-built community focal points gets me thinking about what life in the localities that they serve might have been like, and what place worship would have had in the lives of the church members.
For this single-frame image, I used my Canon EOS 6D Mk II camera, a Rokinon 24mm f/1.4 lens @ f/2.4, using an exposure time of 15 seconds @ ISO 6400.
More AK EMH love! Everest peeks through ominously in the distance.
Fun photography fact: There are 6 points on the stars created by the lights because my Sigma 10-20mm lens has 6 aperture blades. If I was using a lens with 7 blades, the stars would have 14 points. 8 blades = 8 points. 9 blades = 18 points. Etc!
Technical blah blah blah: HDR from 3 exposures, processed in CS5. This is the first shot that I used CS5's "content-aware" fill to completely remove a few people and a whole tree from the foreground. I'm sure you can find where if you look close, but hopefully it's invisible at a quick glance. Pretty cool feature.

This shot was taken 20 minutes or so after sunset atop a rock that was dry up top but being buffeted by waves. It was at the base of Cape Spencer lighthouse which takes a bit of getting to but well worth the steep climb. .....actually , looking at the versions I think this was just the single shot in the end - longer exposure resulted in whiteness everywhere on the water.
Workflow (now standard for most images I process)
- Exported from lightroom as a 16 bit TIFF (cropping and rotating in lightroom)
- Layer 1: adjustments for levels and shadow highlight
- Layer 2: (duplicate of layer 1) - surface blur for areas that need noise reduction (eg skies, underexposed areas
- Layer 3+: Various colour selection layers for colour balance (in this case, the ocean blues to boost cyan and blue, the sky to boost magenta and red slightly)
- Layer 4: 50% neutral gray overlay layer for dodging and burning and sometimes for enhancing colours.
- Layer 5: High pass filter - around 2-3 pixels on vivid light - this layer gets placed underneath the surface blur layer to avoid sharpening the smoothed bits.
- Image flattened and if needed, lens distortion adjustment for vignetting.
- saved as 8 bit TIFF for printing ,
- resized /bordered/watermarked with actions for flickr /web

I would like to share with you this Christmas song by the talented Ukrainian bard and kobzar Vasyl Zhdankin (1958–2019), which he recorded based on a poem by the brilliant poet Bohdan-Ihor Antonych (1909–1937).
The fragment featuring the song is part of the documentary film “My Kobza” (1989), dedicated to the revival of the kobzar tradition in Ukraine — a tradition that suffered total destruction under Soviet rule. Kobzars were itinerant musicians (usually blind, accompanied by a young guide) who for centuries traveled between Ukrainian villages, introducing people to various forms of folklore, including 'dumy' - songs about historical events, Cossack songs, and more.
Vasyl Zhdankin was one of the enthusiasts of this cultural revival, although his kobza was somewhat modernized and tuned similarly to a modern six-string guitar. Zhdankin was the first person to publicly perform the song “Ukraine Has Not Yet Perished” (our current official national anthem), doing so at the Chervona Ruta festival in Chernivtsi in the summer of 1989. It was still the USSR at the time, and this act was quite courageous.
He was also a deeply religious man, which is why spiritual songs make up a significant part of his artistic legacy. Sadly, the renowned bard died in a car accident in 2019.
The brilliant poet Bohdan-Ihor Antonych lived a short life — he was weakened by tuberculosis, which at that time could not yet be treated effectively. Nevertheless, the final years of his life were marked by an extraordinary creative output, mainly lyrical in nature. He came from Lemkivshchyna, an ethnic Ukrainian mountainous region that today is divided between Poland and Slovakia.
The song is symbolic, since we all know that Jesus was born in Bethlehem. I believe Antonych wanted to bring this event closer to local people — to his fellow countrymen and to their traditions.
I would also like to note that in Ukraine, until 2023, Christmas was officially celebrated on January 7. Immediately after the Baptism of Rus’ in 988, the feast was celebrated on December 25 according to the Julian calendar. In 1582, Europe switched to a new calendar — the Gregorian one — but the Orthodox Church of Rus’ (Ukrainian) remained on the Julian calendar.
Muscovy also stayed on the Julian calendar — not only the Church, but the entire state system of timekeeping — as did the Russian Empire later on. In 1918, the Bolsheviks finally adopted the Gregorian calendar, but the Church did not recognize this change and continued to celebrate Christmas according to the Julian calendar (that is, December 25 in the Julian calendar falls on January 7 in the Gregorian calendar).
And now, in 2023, due to the war and for reasons that are more political than religious, the Ukrainian parliament decided that Christmas would be officially celebrated together with Europe. However, ordinary people celebrate it in different ways: some according to the new calendar, some according to the old one, some celebrate both, and some do not celebrate at all.
Since Flickr provides only three minutes for free, the end of the song was slightly cut. At the end, Zhdankin proclaims: “Christ is born — let us glorify Him!” In Ukraine, Orthodox Christians greet each other in this way, and on the eve of Christmas they say when meeting: “Christ is being born!”

F.W.Holroyd was founded in 1912 by Fredrick William Holroyd. The business was based in Virginia arcade in Glasgow, the old spice market. In those early days the business sold lino and carpets as well as some more interesting items including gas mantles, before the days of electric light bulbs. In 1936 (Cyril) Douglas Holroyd, Fredrick’s son, took over the business selling carpets and a range of furniture.
John Douglas Holroyd (Jack) joined his father Douglas in the family business in 1972. He opened a small gallery in the company retail premises, now in the High Street, and began buying art at auction. He would reframe paintings and return to auction any that he did not sell in the gallery. Jack soon realised there was a need for customer framing too, and this expanded into a wholesale business in 1981, supplying the trade with mouldings sourced mainly from Italian manufacturers.

Near the Apollo 11 Lunar Module landing site, there is a line of three craters named for Niel Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, & Michael Collins. The smallest is only 2.6 km or about 1.3 seconds of arc in size. These were imaged with a Questar 3.5" telescope, 2x2x Dakin Barlow lenses, and a Sony a6300 camera.

The US navy had a base at Capricorn Wharf along Macquarie Street, Teneriffe in Brisbane during WWII which played a significant role in the war in the Pacific. During the regeneration of the area in the 1990's, a heritage park and trail were established to pay homage to not only the US submarines and their crew but all submarines from Australia, the USA, Great Britain and New Zealand that were either based here or used Brisbane as a port of call and repair facility during the war.
The article below describes some of the history of the base and also has a number of photos of the site as it was during the war and the '90's regeneration project also. The area has nicely matured now.
The three photos from left clockwise are the centre of the current commemorative park which includes quite a few plaques with descriptions of various submarines from all four nations and other associated history from the conflict as well as seating in the shape of various classes of vessel. The top right shot features a submariner's prayer and details of one submarine based here that was lost at sea and the final shot is of course of the flags of the four nations involved. More details of all US and Australian vessels that served from Brisbane are shown on commemorative plaques in Newstead Park down the road.
