it is always a pleasure to still find these vintage colonial houses before they disappear, taken over by modernization.
The charming Colonial Apartments in Buffalo, New York. One of the original residential apartment buildings in the city, it opened in 1896. Designed by architect James A. Johnson (and Marling) who is known for a number of architectural landmarks in Buffalo

Happy Friday to each of you, Kay and I wish each of you a happy weekend.

Confound it, wrong Colonial Period!
During the Second Colonial Period, FTL starships finally allowed slow-but-in-your-lifetime transport to other planets. One of the first promising worlds to be colonized was Luther 372, (though the Hyndyuna natives, unbeknownst to humanity at the time, called it Oumoros) a vibrant, toxic planet. However, the global temperature was ideal and the atmosphere and oceans were very similar to Earth's. Very little terraforming was necessary and the first colonists, living in prefabricated house units, were able to supply their homes with air, water, and electricity with an Omnigenerator that converted the acidic dominant liquid on the planet into water, oxygen, and hydrogen. The oxygen was mixed with preexisting gases in the atmosphere to create the ideal mixture necessary for humans and the hydrogen underwent nuclear fusion, providing energy. Thus the stage was set for the beginning of the Human-Hyndyuna War over Oumoros.

Thoughts, once again enumerated.
1.) Obviously the building's color scheme is based off of Bart De Dobbelaer's brilliant Hex series! Hope you don't mind, Bart, but I could think of anything better. :P
2.) This build really DOES fit in my lightbox! The pictures still have glare all over, but they are much improved from yesterday's. :)
3.) Yeah, I'm late. But not too late. :)
4.) As soon as I post it on Eurobricks I'll post the link here. This whole operation has been rather shoddy. :P
EDIT: Here it is! Have a peek. ;D
5.) Wish me luck! :D
6.) And please C&C, it's always appreciated. ;)
7.) Can't believe I forgot: For the Eurobricks Home Sweet Home Contest. :D
8.) I'm going to forgo my college education and buy all of Bricklink's flex tubing instead. THEN WE WILL MARRY
Here's one from the Colonial Creek Campground in North Cascades National Park, Washington. There are a couple of walk-in sites that are right next to this creek and others in the trees along the Diablo Lake shore. Pretty nice.

Colonial Williamsburg is the only place that takes you back in time to the dawn of America. This isn't just a place where things once happened. They're happening, right now, here in the 18th century. We're the place where the idea of our country is being born; the place where the ideals we stand for as Americans are being defined. We are the 18th century "live," filled with the stories of the women, men, and children—free and enslaved—whose values and visions gave us a new world. (ColonialWilliamsburg.com)
Haytham Kenway is aware of Aveline's relationship with Black Bart - in fact, he's counting on it for the mission's success.
Cusco was once the capital of the Inca empire and now is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, convenient to nearby archaeological ruins. It’s a great place to photograph old Spanish colonial architecture, grab a tasty local lunch or spend the night in a historic hotel. We enjoyed all three! Texture by SkeletalMess.

Sketches show the designs for a home addition and gardener’s cottage inspired by Andalusian architecture. The simplistic design is reminiscent of farmhouses.
Colonial Peak in the North Cascades rises steeply from the southwest bank of Thunder Arm of Diablo Lake. It is part of a group of peaks that form the northern end of a chain running south through prized climbing destinations such as Eldorado Peak, Forbidden Peak, and Goode Mountain. Colonial Peak takes its name from the Colonial mining claim on its slopes. Elevation 7,771 ft (2,369 m)
My time with LEGO has been a bit spotty over the past year. I have to admit, I wasn’t having the most fun with it and had to step away for a time to proceed with other activities. (You’ll be happy to know that I can now hold a conversation about many of the wonderful TV shows made available on Netflix). The time away has recharged my creativity tanks and I’ve got a couple MOCs to show off. Unfortunately, the other one will have to wait until after BrickWorld.
This one is for a project I’ve been working on for a while involving ships inspired by Battlestar Galactica. This guy is exactly 20 studs by 40 studs and although it doesn’t exactly match anything that you would have seen in the episodes of the 1970’s version of the classic sci-fi serial, I sat down and studied the ships of the fleet between the internet and my best friend, Netflix, and came up with a ship that I believe would fit right in with the Colonial Fleet.
This ship will be at BrickWorld in a couple weeks. Stop by and take look.
In Launceston's City Park, someone (in old Aussie parlance, "a wag") has had some fun with this statue.
It was designed by Australian sculptor, Peter Corlett (sans cigarette), and features one of the colony's leading colonial scientists, botanist Ronald Campbell Gunn (1808-1881). Gunn was the first President of the Launceston Horticultural Society, the oldest, continuously operating society of its type in Australia, established in 1838.
Born in Scotland in 1808, Gunn came out to Van Diemen's Land in 1830. He held numerous government appointments, including working closely with Lt. Gov. Sir John and Lady Franklin, but his first love was botany. This passion soon turn to serious recognition, and he was elected a fellow of the Linnean Society of London in 1850 and of the Royal Society in 1854.
"In 1842 Gunn wrote Observations on the Flora of Geelong, and began a seven-year editorship of the Tasmanian Journal of Natural Science in which many of his articles appeared. He also contributed to the London Journal of Botany. In 1862 he helped to compile Charles Walch's Almanack, and wrote the section on zoology in West's The History of Tasmania (Launceston, 1852). William Harvey dedicated the fifth volume of Phycologia Australica (London, 1863) to Gunn for his collections of Tasmanian algae...
Gunn was a first-rate botanist whose contribution was commemorated in Sir Joseph Hooker's introduction to his Flora Tasmaniae: 'There are few Tasmanian plants that Mr. Gunn has not seen alive, noted their habits in a living state, and collected large suites of specimens with singular tact and judgment. These have all been transmitted to England … accompanied with notes that display a remarkable power of observation, and a facility for seizing important characters in their physiognomy'."

Seriously, this costumed gentleman of means did not look out of place in the historic city. What was interesting was that he was not a paid reenactor but rather a paying guest (just like me) who enjoyed dressing the part for his visit.
It is interesting to follow in the footsteps of Jefferson, Franklin and even General Washington as you explore the historic city. You will find that their discussions concerning over-reaching government, high taxes and other nuisance regulations just as onerous then as they are now.
Yet another shot from Cuba. This time from Santiago de Cuba.
I really need to get out and take some new shots of Sweden, so that I have something else to process.

Colonial Peak up in the clouds. This is the first gigantic peak we encounter as we drive east on Hwy 20 along the shores of Gorge and Diablo Lakes. We don't really see it until we are out on the bridge crossing Thunder Creek - then we stop the car and walk back. Up in the clouds, the peak emerges for a moment.
