Some infos:
About 7000 pieces. The hull is more than 4 feet long and with the sail the total length is about 5 feet 2 inches.
No glue, no tape. The only none Lego elements I used are the sails, strings and 6 one-foot long aluminum technic axles used for reinforcement.
No modified bricks... I just take advantage of the tolerance (gaps) between bricks! The compound curve on the hull comes almost nature thanks to its own weight. Let it sag by itself :)
Shot with the Olympus E-5, Olympus Zuiko 14-35 f2.0 lens, at MASS MoCA in North Adams, Massachusetts. This is not the art on display but rather the artistic elements of this museum as I see them through the eye of the photographer.
The red brick church in Warsaw's New Town is most likely the Church of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Przyrynek 2), one of the oldest churches in the capital. Built in the 14th/15th century, it represents the Gothic style, with a characteristic red brick bell tower, a three-nave interior, and ribbed vaults.
Old loading dock door on the abandoned Morenci Water and Electric Building. This building, built in 1897 is having some serious structural issues with the brick work.
Clifton, Arizona, USA. Once a booming copper mining town but now mostly declining or already in decay and the majority of people and business have moved just up the road to Morenci. The Freeport McMoRan copper mine located in Morenci is one of the largest in the world
Cliff dwellings along the San Francisco and Gila Rivers are evidence of an advanced civilization that existed long before Caesar ruled Rome. Many specimens of pottery and stone implements are still to be found in these ancient dwelling places. In the mid-1500s, both Fray Marcos de Niza and Francisco Vasquez de Coronado passed through the area, following the San Pedro north to the Gila River. Geronimo was born in 1829 near the confluence of Eagle Creek and the San Francisco and Gila Rivers.
In 1856 the first mineral discoveries of the Morenci/Clifton area were found by California volunteers pursuing Apaches, and conflicts between the Apaches and advancing Anglo settlers touched off a 26-year-long war. Mining for gold and silver began in 1864, followed by copper in 1872, and the mine at Morenci quickly grew to become the largest copper producer in North America. Clifton's population ballooned from 600 in 1880 to 5000 by 1910, and it quickly earned its reputation as the wildest of the "Wild West" boomtowns. Neighboring Morenci was swallowed up by an open pit mine in the 1960s, but Clifton was preserved, and today Chase Creek Street is still graced with lovely Victorian-era buildings from the town's halcyon days as the place to quickly make and lose a fortune.
In 1983, Clifton survived two nearly fatal blows, first a nearly three-year-long strike that began on June 30, 1983. Then later that same year, on October 2, 1983, Tropical Storm Octave sent 90,900 cubic feet of water per second into the San Francisco River, which burst its banks, destroying 700 homes and heavily damaging 86 of the town's 126 businesse
Conversion took place in 2007 of the historic Gateshead Railway Club in north east UK, into 25 apartments and refurbishment of the basement club/ bar area.

I had a bit of a color play with this picture of the walkway between the Vinings and the Double Reynolds Warehouse at Gloucester Docks...
As this shop is built on a slope, the rear windows are almost at ground level with the ceiling being at about chest height from this side of the building.
From the inside it seems normal apart from the fact you are looking at peoples knees as they walk past outside.
(The shop assistant inside is stood on a step ladder).

Located at the heart of the most fertile Gangetic basin, Chandannagar is nestled with brick-kilns producing extremely high quality 'fired clay bricks', primarily used for domestic construction. The high silt content of this soil is apt for the finest brick production, mushrooming multiple such kilns along the river coast. This is the produce of one such kiln, right before its ready to be shipped/ transported.
