The Clewiston Inn (also known as The Inn) is a historic site in Clewiston, Florida, United States. It is located at U.S. 27, west of the junction with CR 832, and is the oldest hotel in the area of Lake Okeechobee. On February 21, 1991, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
The Clewiston Inn was originally built along the unprotected waterfront of Lake Okeechobee in 1926 by the Clewiston Company, the community and real estate development arm of Bror Dahlberg's Southern Sugar Company. Ownership passed to the United States Sugar Corporation in 1931 when Charles Stewart Mott formed the company and acquired the assets of the Southern Sugar Company, which went into bankruptcy in 1929. The building survived the great 1926 and 1928 hurricanes but was destroyed by a fire in 1937 and the classical revival style structure was rebuilt in 1938. The Everglades Lounge and Bar inside has a 360-degree wildlife mural featuring the flora and fauna of the Florida Everglades. It was created in the early 1940s by the J. Clinton Shepherd (1888-1975). This Palm Beach artist stayed at the Inn for many months, making frequent trips to the Everglades to sketch the animals.

I love Classic Space, and yet I don't build much in the theme. I finally got around to making a small CS build recently though. It all started with the rover, which was pretty quick and easy. Then I moved onto the robot, which took a couple days. Then I built the radar dish (which only took about 5 minutes) and completed it with a couple of my dad's classic spaceman. The base went through 3 different versions before I found something I was happy with. I hope you like it!
It'll probably be almost a month before I post another build as I'm working on a bigger project for Brickworld, but I'll probably post quite a few Lego in the real world pictures in the mean time.
People come & go [as they please]. The busyness of life [or as we humans would refer to as the daily grind] reveals its true self to us; simply observing the scene from atop Interstate-5 only gives us a glimpse of all that activity pertaining to life.

The ancient Greeks painted their sculptures bright colours and adorned then with metal jewellery.
Pliny the Elder, writing in the first century CE, tells us that statues were coloured and polished.
But it was not until the late nineteenth century that excavations in the Acropolis in Athens found several statues on which colour could still be seen. The Peplos Kore is one of these. Before this, fashion dictated that new finds were whisked to the restorer’s studio where they were scrubbed of any paint traces.
Here the Kore is shown (left) as she is today, and (right) fully restored. So little paint remains on the original that the restored version is an “artist’s impression”. Recent scientific analysis shows that her paintwork was even more elaborate.
The little umbrella on her head is called a “meniskos” and was to keep the weather and birds off.
She dates to around 530 BCE.

The temple was built in Tang Dynasty. After six times of fire, sixteen times of enlargement and repair in Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was built to be today’s size in 1882 AD (the eighth year of Guangxu Emperor, Qing Dynasty). It covers an area of 9,8000 square meters. The temple is of nine layers and four courtyards. It consists of Jiuxing Door, Kuixing Pavilion, Yubei Pavilion, Jiaying Door, Yushu House, Main Hall, Bedroom, east and west side doors and four turrets. The Main Hall is the main body of the building, with the largest scale, which is also called Big Hall or Shengdi Hall. It is 24 meters high, with 72 stone stelae, symbolizing the 72 peaks of Southern Sacred Mountain. The wood carving of jumping dragon and flying phoenix under the eaves and the wood carving on the door are very delicate.
An outtake from a shoot I did for my school's fashion magazine :)
Also, a HUGE thank you for 13,000 views, and to this wonderful girl who wrote me my first testimonial!
Keynsham is a small town between Bath and Bristol. Nice little place, but it's fair to say it's nothing out of the ordinary. But shoot an archway in black and white...
Frontage of a classical styled building that I am currently working on. Inspired by the Royal Banqueting House in Whitehall, the model is around half scale for OO. The large proportions of the real building mean that it will be able to be used alongside standard OO models.
A mixture of simplistic 3D card work and photographic texture will hopefully enable the eye to read this as a suitably impressive edifice.

Out of the three subtypes of the C56 family, .22 had both front and middle doors being single leaf ones, opening outwards like on coaches.
This allowed for cramming in a few more seats, making this subtype more ideal for long-distance routes. More than a hundred of these .22 variants were built between 1999 and 2002, some with Rába D10, but most of them with Detroit Diesel engines.
Most of them are still in active service; on this image, Eger's HHG-117 plated pure white C56.22 is balancing between the potholes near Egercsehi, on its way to Bélapátfalva.
Like with most of Agria Volán's fleet, it used to sport a lovely blue-white livery before the Volánbusz-era came along with the "make it pure white or pure yellow, we can't decide either" brand statement.
