This is my tribute to the lovely Lumpy Golightly. As I looked through her photostream I realised that I could not get up to her standard in food shots, nor do I have any quotes that would work as well as hers so I chose this shot and did a variation...
Can you spot the wierdo, the nutter, the strange person etc etc lol
I had so much fun doing this shot and I worked long and hard on it, I hope you enjoy it...
Here is the inspiration shot

Back story: In our 2016 visit to LA, we landed at LAX, got our rental car, ate an early lunch at Pann's, and then drove through the city, leisurely, to get to our hotel in Pasadena. As we drove, I got this Firestone neon shot (like old Arby's signs, I shoot old Firestone signs whenever I see them). I came across this photo again just today, going through old folders, and curious at what looked like construction in the photo, googled to search for info......and discovered that it was indeed construction. I'm really glad I shot this!

The bus looks fantastic carrying its big LRT lothians, this is as I remember them and I am so happy with the way the bus has came out. Myself and Graham along with my father Brian have spent 15 years worth of Sundays grafting to get the bus restored. God only knows how many hours we have spent on the bus, but the £ spent would make a grown man cry... but seeing the bus today complete and driving makes every penny spent worth it. Going forward I have a range of smaller jobs to do on the bus and we will work into 2021 getting it ready for presentation to an MOT station then we can see about have a bit of fun driving her about Edinburgh again.
Completed design for shirt print! Looks like teefury will be doing it. Will update when i know when.....
Here it is, fresh from the dryer! I'm so proud of it I could burst! Thank you Tracey, Amy, Cherie, Natalia, and Karrie for making such fantastic blocks!!!!! Ladies, feel free to use any of my pictures on Flickr or my blog if you want to blog about it.
Completed in 1905 the Brantford Station is the fourth station to serve this line, the first two being constructed by Buffalo & Lake Huron Railway and the next two by Grand Trunk. Designed as a propaganda piece to inspire confidence in the railway. Following the Picturesque aesthetic and incorporating Gothic, Romanesque, and Italianate details it is a grand example of turn-of-the-century architecture that would go on to inspire Guelph's Central Station. When Canadian National ceased passenger service, VIA rail took over operations and maintains it here today.

Completing an overnight eastbound run out of Durango, CO, a pair of elderly D&RGW locomotives run the last half mile toward the company yards in Chama, NM, where the engine crews hope to get breakfast. The helper leading this morning is D&RGW C-18 #315, with K-27 #463 as the road engine. The pair are pictured not far from the Chama southern yard limit, near Milepost 344.4.
This image was captured during a September 2013 photo shoot on the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad, which featured Locomotives 315 and 463 operating together and on separate trains for 4 days all across the 64-mile railroad. The 463 is owned and operated by the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad and often hauls the regular passenger trains out of Antonito, CO. The 315 is owned and operated by the Durango Railroad Historical Society and although she's technically based in Silverton, CO, she's been resident here on the C&TS and operating on special trains for over a decade.
Hochkönig region, Austria. starting from Arthurhouse for 5 km on the "Königsweg" and than back. wonderful!
The Erewash Canal in Long Eaton, Derbyshire.
The canal was created following an act of parliament in 1777 with John Varley appointed as engineer and John and James Pinkerton the main contractors, it was completed in 1779 at a cost of £21,000 (£2,252,740 in modern money). It was a commercial success from the start mainly used to transport coal.
The canal's success kept it going far longer than many of its contemporaries in the face of competition from the railways. When the Grand Union Canal Company took over the running of the Erewash in 1932 it was still a going concern. The canal was nationalised in 1947. By this time the closure of feeder canals resulted in a loss of trade and competition from other forms of transport was making itself felt and the last commercial narrowboat delivered its cargo in 1952. In 1962 the British Transport Commission closed the top section of canal. However, it was kept in water to supply the lower half of the canal and it remained navigable.
In 1968 the Erewash Canal Preservation & Development Association (ECP&DA) was formed in response to a threat by the British Waterways Board to close the canal. One of the ECP&DA's achievements was the re-opening of the Great Northern Basin at Langley Mill. This canal basin was the point at which the Cromford, Erewash and Nottingham Canals met. The Langley Mill Boat Company formed in 1974 and based at the Great Northern Basin has cleared and put back into water a short section of the Cromford Canal connected to the basin.
Today the Erewash Canal is fully open and is actively used by pleasure cruisers. The towpath, which follows the eastern bank, carries Route 67 of the National Cycle Network between the Lawrence Street access and Stanton Lock where the cycle route diverges to follow the Nutbrook Valley. The canal is also regularly restocked with fish for anglers, and along the eastern tow path dozens of anglers are often seen.
Groundbreaking for Miami-Dade College's Wolfson Building 1 occurred in 1971, and the building was completed in 1973. The campus itself first opened in 1970, with classes initially held in downtown storefronts while its permanent facility was being constructed.
Hilario Candela was the architect of Miami-Dade College's Wolfson Building 1. As a Cuban-born American architect, he designed key Brutalist-style buildings for several of the college's campuses, including Wolfson.
Candela was a key member of the architectural firm Pancoast, Ferendino, Grafton & Skeels, which designed the initial buildings for the North and Kendall campuses in the 1960s.
His signature "tropical Brutalist" style, with its use of raw concrete, is a defining feature of the Wolfson Campus architecture.
In addition to his work for Miami-Dade College, Candela is also known for designing the iconic Miami Marine Stadium.
Miami-Dade College's Wolfson Building 1 was designed in the Brutalist style, specifically a regional variant referred to as "tropical Brutalism".
Elements of this architectural style as seen in the Wolfson Campus include:
Raw concrete: The buildings prominently feature exposed concrete, emphasizing the material's raw, unadorned nature.
Massive, geometric forms: Brutalist buildings are known for their blocky and monolithic appearance. Architect Hilario Candela, who designed the Wolfson Campus, referred to his vision as "a small city of interconnected geometric masses".
Function over form: In keeping with Brutalist ethos, the building's design emphasizes its function as a modern educational institution.
Adaptation to the Miami climate: In this "tropical Brutalist" interpretation, the buildings use covered walkways and strategically placed open spaces to provide constant shade and cover from the rain.

Well, it has been another eventful week on all aspects of life. And this weekend will be no different. Shooting a wedding tomorrow with my father in law Somewheretropical and then one on my own in an old west part of Las Vegas late in the morning of Sunday.
I hope to comment on all your photos soon. But if not this weekend, you know why.
Probably my last HDR for a little while. Expect lots of wedding stuff soon. Don't hate me.
I figured with the release of the Lego Harley-Davidson that I would create the Harley Davidson Logo in brick form.
This was designed to be either a wall hanging or for a large surface display.
It is comprised of 4200 pcs. It measures over 1 meter in length and 88cm in height. It is two brick width deep.
For those interested, I will be making instructions available next week on Rebrickable.
