Cape buffalo at Nakuru. The African Cape buffalo (Syncerus caffer) is a large African bovine. . Owing to its unpredictable nature which makes it highly dangerous to humans.African buffalo have few predators and are capable of defending themselves against (and killing) lions... Lions do kill and eat buffalo regularly, but it typically takes multiple lions to bring down a single adult buffalo.
My kids have remote control helicopters that look kind of like this, with much shorter, wider rotor blades than a typical full-size helicopter. It allows for a smaller overall size for the aircraft, which makes it easier to maneuver and land. I don't know if it's a practical design for a full-size chopper, but I wanted to make one in Lego anyway.
Also on display is a bunch of stuff I picked up at Brickfair. I think the minifig cat miniguns I got from MBW work great with Chris' drones because of their larger size relative to minifigs. I also love the eclipseGrafx torsos and Brickarms pulse rifles I got from contributing to the Cyberpocalypse collaboration. Thanks Vic and Will!

En cada maceta, en cada rincón de nuestras casas, un sin fin de diminutos seres, conviven y luchan por la sobrevivencia. En la serie que sigue, pretendo simplemente acercar una muestra de esta salvaje realidad. Las tomas fueron hechas en su mayoría, a mano alzada, con una cámara digital compacta Sony DSC-H55, en el ámbito del jardín de mi casa. Va un abrazo para todos.

1979 was the final year for the passenger car-based Ranchero utility truck, being based on the intermediate LTD II (a rebadged Torino) between the 1977 and 1979 model years. Since the compact Falcon Ranchero was dropped in 1965, Ford moved its utility model up to the larger intermediate Fairlane/Torino platform, which was rebadged as LTD II for 1977 to be a smaller option for full sized LTD customers in response to GM's new downsized full size models.
The LTD II was among the largest passenger cars ever built in the intermediate class and was only available with V8s. With fuel economy a growing issue, Ford effectively replaced the dated LTD II with a new downsized intermediate with compact dimensions and offering similar or greater interior and cargo room, the 1978 Fairmont and Mercury Zephyr on the new Fox body platform. The Ranchero continued to the end of the 1979 model year with either a 5.0 (302) or 5.8 liter (351) V8.
By then passenger car based utility trucks were declining and Ford officially offered no successor to the Ranchero, though the 1981 Durango was built by an aftermarket company using the downsized Fox platform Fairmont and officially distributed and sold by Ford dealers with factory warranty.
This is a 500 series standard model.
Factory delivered suggested retail price $5,866 for standard 500 series, curb weight as delivered 3,698 lb, maximum 1,250 lb load rating with heavy duty package, 3,500 lb towing capacity when equipped, 133 HP (5.0/302 V8) or 151 HP (5.8 liter/351 V8).

Würzburg is een stad met overzichtelijke afmetingen en de trams die er tijdens mijn eerste bezoek in 1977 dienst deden, waren compact. Ook de grootte van het in 1954 opgeleverde stationsgebouw is afgestemd op de behoefte van een provinciestad. Het voor de jaren vijftig karakteristieke stationsgebouw is ontworpen door architect Hans Kern. De kraam met worstjes voor de uitgang van het station ontbreekt uiteraard niet.
De enkelgelede Düwag-tram heeft ook deuren aan de linker zijde. Op het achterbalkon is een hulpstuurstand aangebracht. De wagens konden zodoende bij behoefte in tweerichtingbedrijf gebruikt worden. Primair zijn de wagens echter voor eenrichtingbedrijf ingericht. Men sprak in dit geval ook wel van anderhalfrichtingwagens. Op de kopwand zien we de verschillende contactdozen voor bijwagenbedrijf. Destijds werd er op werkdagen nog met kleine tweeassige bijwagens achter deze gelede trams gereden.
Tram 233 maakt deel uit van een serie van tien enkelgelde zesassers die in 1967 en 1968 door Düwag werden geleverd. Vanwege het krappe profiel van vrij ruimte zijn de koppen sterk afgeschuind. In 1982 werden de wagens door het invoegen van een nieuwe tussenbak verlengd tot dubbelgelede achtassers.

The final to my future-auto exploration. This time, based on several retro-future compact-car designs (including by Syd Mead of course). Ironically, this is the only of the three that actually fits a full figure.
The purpose of the three cars was to look at what I consider the three main areas of consumer-cars in futuristic media: Luxury, Show, and Utility. I am disregarding Industrial and Military as I have made a ton of the former already and I don't really like the latter.
Hi!
I made a remake of an old photo, but this time, with a stop motion clip: www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5d9783-Ib4
Enjoy!
I am reading the new book "Digital Capture After Dark" by Amanda Quintenz-Fiedler and Philipp Scholz Rittermann. The book intrigues me again on the night photography.
But I am born to be a lazy photographer. I do not want to go to the remote or exotic places for night photography. I do not shoot RAW and I do not use a lot of post-production techniques as suggested by the writers. I don't even use DSLR for night shooting as everyone said compact camera has too much noise in the small sensor.
Anyways I just walk in the back alley in my neighbourhood and shoot in JPEG. I am just too lazy to fiddle around the white balance and therefore shoot in the B&W mode in-camera.
My photo club friends always tease me as crazy guy that associates photography with philosophy. Yes there is the philosophy that inspires you to see the beauty in mundane subjects and I believe there is a special charisma of night too. When the night falls, you can see some sort of special beauty even in a back alley.
Do you think so?
Happy weekend!

To me, it would seem that a dandelion bloom would be somehow different than this. I think that it's because a dandelion's fibers are all so scattered, at first glance, that it seems unlikely that they start out so orderly. Then the reasoning kicks in that dandelions use air dispersal to get their offspring away from the parent plant. Of course, then, there isn't a random combination of structures. They must be grown specifically to take advantage of being both light and fluffy.
Still with me? Gone to take a snooze?
