Architecture , Colossus , Rotterdam
For those who have noticed.
Last week I've made a subtile remark in my upload that maybe, just maybe, it's time for architectural pictures. And I mean, heavy, modern , architectural shots.
Not my main idea, but one has to go with the flow, and some of you may know that my working location is not in the forests.
Sometimes one gets tired of working around the buildings to photograph a little piece of nature. So my friends, here it is, a new serie. Because it's rather new to me, comments and critiques are very welcome. Need to learn a lot, but my friends, I've got the scene covered.
I work in Rotterdam!
Another photo from that fearful day when Storm Arwen hit in November 2021. On storm days many local photographers head to Seaham harbour as the sight of big waves dwarfing the iconic black and white lighthouse look spectacular, That lighthouse stands at 10 metres, similar waves against the Roker pier at a height of 23 metres don’t look so dramatic. However on this day I was lucky to get this wave within the frame, it was Colossus.

Not quite colossal as it used to be, but Rhodes harbour is now marked by two statues. In the background is Saint Nicholas Fortress, a 15th century fort turned lighthouse which is contrasting nicely with the super yachts in attendance.
A huge iceberg dwarfs a boat just off Cape Spear, Newfoundland. These icebergs are said to be 10,000 to 12,000 years old and have been travelling for 2-3 years prior to reaching this destination.
Might not be the biggest tree around but is certainly imposing when you are stood next to it. This was going to be a black and white conversion but I decided to keep it in colour due to all the wonderful autumnal misty tones.
McKinley "Kenny" Dorham Jr of Austin, TX was among the finest jazz musicians the world has ever known. The Austin Chronicle ran a great story about him, "Trumpet Colossus Kenny Dorham Towers Alongside the Jazz Gods." It' definitely worth a read.
Recommended listening: Kenny Dorham's Quiet Kenny, and Joe Henderson's Page One, which features Dorham's best known composition, "Blue Bossa."
Birds are my number one subject, but I’ve always had an interest in ancient history and art. I’m going to share a few photos of the artwork housed in the Palazzo dei Conservatori in Rome, the oldest public collection of art in the world, began in 1471.
The marble remains of Constantine the Great's colossal statue you see here were unearthed in the late 15th century and placed by Michelangelo in the Courtyard of the Palazzo, where they still remain.

While the armies of Historica march to Nocturnus, a single colossus comes down the northern Rakath at the border to Mitgardia; the giant seeks neither glory nor riches, the pure lust for destruction and chaos makes him leaving his home in the mountains and entering the vale.
Where he plagues the land, he erases villages. He devours the cattle and leaves nothing but desolation and death.

It's been a long time! But I am finally back with a build. Not that I wouldn't have built over the past months. For some reasons I just did not upload anything.
But now the battle for Nocturnus calls me back into Guilds of Historica.
This moc in particular was built for the challenge "foreign aid", bringing reinforcements for both factions of the war into the land.
I wanted to build a giant for a long time now. It's just such a classical fantasy element and I cannot remember many attempts over the past years.
Enjoy and I would be pleased to have you leave a comment. Thanks!
A massive wave builds before finally colliding with the cliffs. Hope your all staying safe and thanks for looking. Jeff
I did a Febrovery thing. Always love seeing cool brick built wheels for rovers, so that was definitely my focus for this build. It was originally meant to be minifig scale, but I really wanted the wheels to look huge, so I switched it to sort of microfig scale. Also super happy that I managed to include adjustable steering for the wheels, that just happened to work out really nicely.
mess tidals: they usually come in cycles, so that once in a while you are forced to have a go at restoring a clean visual space for the benefit of the already confused mind. so: take everything away, stick it just elsewhere out of sight.
the aftermath is usually three or four days of a table that looks like the mesas. you can actually sit there and write without things falling off the edges.
then, shyly, a scrap of paper or two, a book, two packs of cigarettes, a lighter, an half-filled cup of coffee, water glasses, a notebook, spam mail that no one is brave enough to throw away directly. the invasion begins anew.
and: you manage not to find things that were supposed to be important again. up until you convince yourself they were not important.
months later:
crawling through old boxes and bags: scraps of paper mostly, artefacts that the dust has long since started devouring and/or cloaking. pencil lines have turned paler. just below a drawing (a stickman about to enter in a room, the room displayed through a door, a handful of spirals in its rectangle) a quickly jolted down note, a rather meaningless thing brought back from that night's dream:
a man says: "this site is evaporating"
it's easier to stumble somehow. you also get to scream and swear once you touch the ground.
