This is the first block I received in a round robin. I hope Jane likes what I did and yes I did the tatting.
Today I wrote my first poem ever... in Dutch. I translated it in English, but that turned out to be quite difficult.... Hope you like it!
Blocking The Sunlight
So here I am in the sunlight, the warm light on my skin.
In my soul I am cold, emotions have been replaced by infinite emptiness.
Emptiness where I start to drown in, like an autumn leaf slowly begins to sink to the bottom of the cold river.
I am like the autumn leaf, no hope of a fresh spring and intended to sink to the bottom of the cold river of my thoughts.
At the bottom of the river I can rest, no more turbulence of the autumn leaf that floats on the river.
At last peace, no more maze of currents of all my thoughts....
So here I am in the warm sunshine, here I stand on solid ground. No hope of redemption.
The warmth of the sun feels painful, like when you realize that all hope you had changed into be false hope.
So here I am in the warm sunshine, here I stand on solid ground. The warmth hurts me, I am trying to protect myself, as an umbrella protects you from the rain
The umbrella high in the sky ...... Blocking The Sunlight
The lid to these blocks has a note from my mom stating that the Benton children played with these blocks in 1870 and they have been passed along in the family ever since. I'm not sure exactly when I inherited them but I love them and keep them on display. When I take pictures of children I like to go for a vintage look and give these to children to play with. I think it's interesting that there are blocks with Roman Numerals. I don't think you could find children's blocks with those today. :)
I built this moc for a building event on steinchenfans.de that was themed "Straße mit Hindernissen" what is best translated with "Blocked Road". The only rule was to use between 200 and 500 LEGO parts.
The West Block
“In 1859, architects Thomas Stent and Augustus Laver designed the West Block in a Gothic Revival style. It was designated a Classified federal heritage building in 1987 for its important historical associations, architectural quality and environmental impact.
Designed to accommodate the federal civil service, as more space was required the two large additions were built: the Mackenzie Wing and Tower in 1878 and the Laurier Tower and Link in 1906.
The West Block, with the Centre and East Blocks, makes up the core of Canada’s Parliamentary Precinct. Commanding the western side of Parliament Hill, the West Block was built in three phases starting in 1859, and opened in 1866. The West Block was completed in 1909 by the Department of Public Works (now Public Services and Procurement Canada).
It encompasses:
* the South and East Wings, built from 1859 to 1865
* the Northwest Wing, built from 1875 to 1879
* the North Wing, built from 1906 to 1909
Today, we are at the end of a major project that has both restored the West Block to its original glory and equipped it for the needs of a 20th century Parliament. It now plays host to Canada’s members of Parliament in its. interim House of Commons Chamber, a soaring, glass-roofed structure, built into the central courtyard at the heart of the building.
Since 2011, work has been carried out to repair and modernize the building at a cost of $863 million (excluding Harmonized Sales Tax). The project has brought West Block up to standard and has ensured it will meet the current and future needs of Parliament while preserving its heritage characteristics for the next 150 years.”
