Greeted by a Forman while driving a Felicia. These underappreciated cars are getting their own fan base.
'Straight at me... slowly... right!
'Why are we this close to these large boulders and rocks? Shouldn't we build a bit further away?'
These rocks will be part of our base... We can build higher this way, and use those natural caves as well...'
'Them rocks look weird, regular, almost build!'
'Ah well, probably just basalt or something, you have those weird geometric rock patterns at some place on earth too...'
Based on my yellow Ford Capri mk1 I built this Capri RS2600. Although I think this version isn't as easy recocnizable as the yellow one, I'm a bit happier with it. The wheels are a better fit in terms of size and especially the rear of the car looks better without the bumper.
Again the model is 7 studs wide, so kind of minifig-scale.
Like always I only used genuine LEGO parts, no cutting, no glue, no painting.

The Ayalon Institute was a secret ammunition factory disguised as part of a kibbutz to fool the British back in the 1940s. Jewish people used the factory in their efforts to fight for the independent state of Israel. Organizers went to extreme measures to build and sustain this secret factory within the kibbutz. Between 1945 and 1948, the Ayalon Institute produced more than 2 million 9mm bullets.
During the British mandate, the Jewish people began planning ways to make machinery and guns to fight for independence. While manufacturing guns didn’t prove to be that difficult, it was very challenging to make bullets for the guns.
So, a group of Jewish people decided to build a ammunitions factory under a kibbutz, which is a communal area of land designed for a specific purpose, such as farming. The area was near a British base. In 1945, the group built structures on the surface that resembled a kibbutz and in about three weeks, they built an entire ammunitions factory eight meters underground. The factory was about the size of a tennis court.
The factory stopped operating in 1948, three years after being built. In 1987, the factory was restored and turned into a museum that is now open to the public.
Walkergate depot based 20121 is seen here in Shieldfield while out route learning drivers on the new 22X route. Stagecoach are making changes to the service 22 which will see the 22 carry on from Wallsend high street to the Cobalt business park via the Silver link shopping park rather then going into Wallsend bus station. Stagecoach are also introducing a new 22X route that will only operate at peak times to allow workers to get to and from the City centre and the Cobalt business park. It will do this by going via Shieldfield and the A1058 (coast road) only stopping at a few bus stops while on route.

Divers 2022 - The world of Banksy
Banksy exhibition with life-size reconstructions by the Bristol-based artist. A geographical journey through the cities around the world where Banksy has painted his most emblematic murals. An invitation to discover the most mysterious street artist of the moment from a new angle. Easy access and recommended for everyone!
The World of Banksy - Brussels is an exhibition that brings together the largest number of life-size murals by the Bristol-based street artist. These reconstructed works and other pieces of Banksy's rich career have been installed in the mythical premises of a former fabric house at 28 rue de Laeken (1000 BRUSSELS).
The exhibition aims to present Banksy and his original approach through the murals he has painted in the streets of the world. Visitors will discover the master of street art in a complete and immersive experience that breathes new life into Banksy's - almost entirely lost - creations.
The exhibition is open every day of the week from 10am to 7pm (last entry at 6.15pm).

The Sardinian Warbler appears like the most widespread of the southern species of genus Sylvia. Very secretive, this pretty warbler frequents the maquis scrub. This is a bulky and robust warbler.
The adult male has dark ash-grey upperparts and wing-coverts, whereas mantle and scapulars are tinged brown. The flight feathers are blackish with grey edges. The tail is blackish with whitish edges and white tip.
The underparts are greyish-white. Chin and throat are white.
The head is glossy black. The bill is blackish with paler base of lower mandible. The eyes are red-brown, surrounded by reddish eye-ring. Legs and feet are brownish.
The Sardinian Warbler frequents various types of warm habitats, from low elevation and up to 1200-1300 metres, and even up to 1800 metres in NW Africa.
This species usually occurs in dry coastal habitats, garrigue, maquis, gardens, but also in cultivated areas such as olives, almonds, orchards, citrus groves and vineyards in Mediterranean regions. It also needs some vegetation with bushes, hedgerows, pine thickets, and low dense forest with bushy undergrowth.
During winter and on passage, the Sardinian Warbler favours all scrubby habitats, semi-desert and desert oases.
The Sardinian Warbler feeds mainly on arthropods, but it also takes fruits and berries in autumn and winter, and throughout the year according to the food availabilities. This bird may consume nectar too, especially in late winter and early spring, and probably regularly.
Some birds sometimes defend part of their feeding areas against smaller species. They usually forage in scrub, on the ground and in low trees.
During the breeding season, the resident male performs flight displays accompanied by song in February. The bird rises 2-3 meters into the air and glides with raised wings. Then, it returns to the same perch or another one.
The territory is defended all year round, and the male gives advertising calls from perches. But the short typical song-flight enhances the result of this territorial song, by adding the sight of the moving bird.
The flying bird performs slow wing beats, making it more conspicuous. This type of flight occurs in relatively open areas.
The Sardinian Warbler is partially migratory. The birds of coastal regions and coasts are more sedentary than inland and northern populations. There is a post-breeding migration from late August to December. Most movements are short, but long-distance migrations probably occur too.

Russia, Kamchatka, Tolbachik, "Leningradka" Base Camp
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tolbachik is a volcanic complex, which consists of two volcanoes: Plosky (flat) Tolbachik (3,085 m) and Ostry (sharp) Tolbachik (3,682 m). In the early 70's in the Tolbachik dale were tested first Soviet apparatus "Lunokhod-1" (Moonwalker) and "Marsokhod-1" (The Mars rover). This place was called "Leningradka Base Camp".

Толба́чик — вулканический массив на Камчатке. Состоит из двух вулканов Плоский (3085м) и Острый (3682м) Толбачик. В начале 70-х годов в районе Толбачинского дола проводились испытания первых советских аппаратов «Луноход-1» и «Марсоход-1».
