combination if you want to build a bridge to a successful relationship.

Pulled up to rest, let the engine cool awhile.
Open the beans, gather wood for the fire.
I hum this tune to all the girls I've known.
Should I care about the chances I've blown?
When daylight breaks, I'll be down that road.
Rockman and me, with a lighter load.
We'll stop for lunch, in some taco bar.

So for anyone who hasn't heard yet MELO 2017 is happening at the end of this month! :D
I'm pretty excited because I wasn't able to enter any of the previous Middle Earth Lego Olympics. So I decided I would do a bit of practice and make a really small little build. Might make some more at some point before the contest.
Part of the reason I made this was to try getting better at building, so if any of you want I'm looking for comments about what I could improve and what I did well. (Not just "Nice build" comments).
I'm also curious to know who else is entering MELO this year? :)
I just like this house set against a blue sky. It's a new build in Burns beach area. Overlooking the sea. Perth, Western Australia
In recent times, people tend to discard faulty items rather than mend and fix. Quite a lot has changed during this pandemic. I know many people, myself included, that picked up a brush and started painting. Not on canvas, but on walls, skirting boards and bannisters. People learned how to fix bikes and mend other households items. There are other things that still need to be tweaked. From public procurement to economic inequalities in different parts of the world and let us not forget environmental issues, such as air and water pollution, ozone depletion, and biodiversity loss. Fixing those is not an easy task.
Other things, such as architectural ruins, rusty boats or decayed bridges, are beautiful and just await to be photographed, like this building which has never been completed. There is something infinitely compelling in objects that have seen better days, items that are rusty or have fallen into disrepair. I see it as a destructive sublime, and always wonder about the history of such items. Photographing ruins has become a popular genre, and I can understand why as one can capture the impossibility of holding back time, where photographing such objects can speculate on other states of existence. It can also indicate on our own physical fragility.
To me, it is all about fixing a moment in time.
This is a trend apparently and I figured why not?
But yeesh, I gotta build more! This is more or less a collection of everything I've built for the past year, specifically the things I think are worth showing again. Largely, this is my Forms of Gotham collection, which has rather put me off building brick figures for a while honestly...all that said, the experience of building them and seeing people's reactions towards them at Brickworld Chicago were worth all the tens of hours I spend on them.
And All the Powers of Hell was another highlight, although to be honest it did fall to the back of my mind--despite winning the Vignette award I've been hunting for years. Still, it has a place in my heart and as such is still constructed and boxed away for BW '17. Aside from the figures Batman, Catwoman, and Penguin, its the only thing that remains of my '16 Convention tour builds.
My Alien and Predators builds are something I'm proud of, even though they totally point out how I can change focus on a dime whenever anyone mentions Predators or posts a Xenomorph. To wit, I've been secretly hive building for the past half year; building another queen, gathering eggs, makin' drones, hunting down those elusive black minifigure binoculars, all for the inevitable time when I'll need them. At the moment I'm planning on building Alien something for BW '17, although that might just be the amazing Covenant trailer speaking! So no promises yet!
Before I get into the future, I first want to note the wonderful experiences I had this year with my friends at Eurobricks, both online and especially in person, as we constructed our group collab for Brickworld, Ready Set Escargot!. We put tons of hours into a truly collaborative effort and finally getting the win was icing on the cake. As we look forward to next year's build, I hope that we can continue that awesome tradition! Incidentally, I don't have any pictures of my Snail, but I made the sand blue viking one, if anyone is wondering.
---
Onto the future, one of the reasons I've not appeared to be building much (specifically in the later half) of 2016, is because I'm building for 2017! Right now I'm finishing some colorful magazine builds, but I've also locked down my convention layout concept for next year, one that'll use a lot of colors I normally wouldn't touch with a ten foot poll-- yellow, red, and orange. Brick figures will be minimal, at least until 2018, and I'm also planning two separate series of builds of the superhero variety. Either way, I can't wait to get started!
And finally, thank you to everyone for your support!

View of Cebu city from the SM Seaside mall. I didn't notice all the cranes on top of the buildings until I started processing the photo.
It's finished. I seem to have forgotten to order the blue 6x6 dish that will go on those studs on the top, but otherwise it's all done bar the stickers. Sorry these photos are crap, but I don't know when I will get to take decent ones.

Faroe Islands, 2018
At the beginning of my journey, no one believed in me. For photo community I was just another chick with a camera, for friends it was just another hobby, for my parents it was just another waste of time and money. Don't let others and your insecurities let you down. Don't give up, just do what you love, what makes you happy and what you believe in. Be the builder of your own path and your future.
I shot this image in May 2018 when I was traveling on the Faroe Islands. In the teeny-tiny village of Saksun which has a population of only 8 people! It is located on the North of Faroe islands in a closed shape lagoon and surrounded by mountains. There's an incredible view on the lagoon with a feeling of serenity and magnificence at the same time. And of course these magical houses with grass on the rooftops which I just had to shoot. I imagined how I would live in such a village, built my own house and cover it with grass.
