Remodel, Week 16
Last up for today, my promised new “wide view” of the exterior post-repaint (even if it’s not as great as the one I posted at the start of this photoset yesterday afternoon, haha!). l_dawg2000 reports that there’s still one tiny portion at the rear of the building that still remains brown, but otherwise, the entire rest of the building was complete as of last weekend. Let me know what you think of the new look in the comments below!
Separately, I’m just now noticing it appears that the blue services sign to the left of the entrance has been removed after all… I figured it wasn’t going to last too much longer in its current state, what with “digital photo” still on there long after the photo center had closed down, but I wasn’t expecting the entire sign to disappear! Maybe it’ll wind up returning later, though; I’ll have to keep an eye on that. Likewise, I’ll continue to keep an eye on all the rest of the remodel progress, and bring you another update in a few weeks or so…! :)

Lake Town is a complete town for your role-playing game, created within 10 minutes out of a box. All you need to add is furniture and the roleplay can start right away.
The Lake Town is built entirely on water and can be explored on foot or by boat. The individual, beautifully detailed houses, as well as the great hall, are connected by walkways, creating a veritable labyrinth of walkways and waterways for role-playing.
The town is suitable for various scenarios, from the far north to Lord of the Rings or even as a pirate town on Gor.
Whatever scenario you choose, Lake Town is something special and different from many built-up RP sims.
Access from land is secured by a gate, otherwise your town can only be reached by boat. All canals lead into the market water, the central square of Lake Town. Above the Market Water rises the imposing, three-story Great Hall. The tavern and a few houses for the wealthier residents are adjacent.
All the decorative elements such as seaweed carpets, reeds, floating barrels, boats (not working!), rats and some birds are included in the Rezzbox and easily unfold as you rezz the town.
Of course, you can rearrange or redesign the city at any time. Countless possibilities await you!
~Key Features~
more than 10 different house types
workshops, shops, and own docks at many houses
tavern with two taprooms and two inn rooms
(the tavern also has an open dock facing the lake or sea)
Impressive large Sea Hall, extends over 3 floors
gate with two large towers
access walkway from the land side with drawbridge
countless footbridges and walkways
working lanterns on the houses
all doors, gates and draw bridges are „KOOL Door ready“
The sample town in the box extends over a length of approx. 196 m and a width of approx. 107 m. On a full homestead or fullsim there is still enough space for surrounding land (e.g. if the city is to be placed in a lake) or a coastline. And as already mentioned, the city can be modified relatively easily, so that any other size and layout is possible.

Das Kaverliershaus wurde schon 1804 errichtet, 1824/25 erweitert. Es diente zur Unterbringung der Gäste und des Dienstpersonals. Seit 1825 wird es auch das Danziger Haus genannt, da die verzierenden Fassadenteile aus Danzig von einem dortigen Haus mittels
Lastkähnen zur Pfaueninsel gebracht wurden. Bereits vorher (vor 1480) sollen diese Fassadenteile schon in Nürnberg (seit 1360) ein Haus verziert haben, und zuvor in Venedig hergestellt worden sein soll. Die Bausubstanz des Kavaliershauses ist heute schlecht, eine Sanierung für dien nächsten Jahre angekündigt. Das Haus wird heute von zwei Familien
bewohnt und kann daher nicht innen besichtigt werden. (Quelle: www.berliner-verkehrsseiten.de/pfaueninsel/ )
The Cavalier House was built as early as 1804 and extended in 1824/25. It served as accommodation for guests and service personnel. Since 1825 it has also been called the Dantzig House, because the decorative façade parts were removed from a house in there and brought to Peacock Island by barges. It is said that these parts of the façade had already decorated a house in Nuremberg (since 1360), and that they had previously been made in Venice. The building condition of the Cavalier House is poor today, a renovation is announced for the next years. Today two families live in the house.

The gardening and architectural design of 67-hectare Peacock Island began at the end of the 18th century under King Frederick William II and his mistress Wilhelmine Encke. They had the small summer palace and a dairy constructed in a picturesque building style resembling a monastery gone to ruin, based on English and French models, with references to an ancient Roman style as well.
Modeled on islands in the South Pacific discovered approximately 20 years before, exotic trees and plants gradually took root on this island – as did the colorful peacocks and menagerie completing the exoticism of Peacock Island. However, most of its animals were given to the zoological garden in Berlin in 1842, which led to the foundation of the current zoo.
Later, during the era of Queen Luise, the island was transformed into an aesthetically stylized ornamental mock farm, but with farming practices intended to yield profits at the same time. The project was abandoned shortly thereafter, and Peter Joseph Lenné designed a picturesque landscape park in its place.
Today, Peacock Island – its palace, dairy and the other park buildings, its charming footpaths with beautiful views, nearly 400 old oaks and the oldest rose garden in Berlin – is a popular destination for leisurely strolls in peaceful surroundings. The island is part of the UNESCO World Heritage and is a protected flora and fauna habitat.
Peacock Island is a world-renowned example of garden design. Please help us to maintain the park as a place of culture and recreation.

I'm totally happy to have them, because as far as I love the 1st series, they're so perfect with their outfits it makes it difficult to redress them or change their hair!
Even though i broke my ankle, i got the last two mocs done. Just gotta take some good pics. Look forward to seeing more of my work.
New project. Bionicle chicks

This is looking at my "backyard" near the end of a rainfall. If you look carefully, you can see a complete 2nd rainbow above the main one. It was an awesome scene!
If you understand how rainbows are formed, you will understand why the shadows are straight out in front of the camera, and why there is so little relief (shadowing) apparent on the ridge, especially in the center.
It was a pleasure to be asked by Inkygoodness to be part of their Totem installation for Pictoplasma in Berlin.This is a quick pic (including messy workroom) of the almost completed Totem. I'll post more pics and further details of the show soon.
The history of the La Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre, began around 1612. The image is thought to have been brought by Spaniard colonists from the town of Illescas, a province in Toledo, Spain where a similar posture of the Virgin Mary of Charity is already well-venerated. Local legend recalls the Spanish captains who bring with them religious Marian images to guide and protect them from English pirates at sea.
Two Native American or Indian brothers, Rodrigo and Juan de Hoyos, and an African slave child, Juan Moreno, set out to the Bay of Nipe for salt. They are traditionally given the moniker the "three Juans". They needed the salt for the preservation the meat at the Barajagua slaughter house, which supplied the workers and inhabitants of Santiago del Prado, now known as El Cobre. While out in the bay, a storm arose, rocking their tiny boat violently with ongoing waves. Juan, the slave, was wearing a medal with the image of the Virgin Mary. The three men began to pray for her protection. Suddenly, the skies cleared, and the storm was gone. In the distance, they saw a strange object floating in the water. They rowed towards it as the waves brought it towards them. At first, they mistook it for a bird but quickly saw that it was what seemed to be a statue of a girl. At last, they were able to determine that it was a statue of the Virgin Mary holding the child Jesus on her left arm and holding a gold cross in her right hand. The statue was fastened to a board with an inscription saying, "Yo Soy la Virgen de la Caridad" or "I am the Virgin of Charity." Much to their surprise, the statue remained completely dry while afloat in the water.
Preserved in the General Archive of the Indies of Seville, a written testimony of Juan Moreno says:
Having camped in the French Key, which is in the middle of the Bay of Nipe, waiting for a good time to leave for the Wabba mines, being a morning of calm seas, they left the French Keys, before daybreak. The aforementioned Juan y Rodrigo de Hoyos and myself, embarked in a canoe, headed for the Wabba mines, and far from the French Key we saw something white above the foam of the water, which we couldn’t distinguish. As we got closer, birds and dry branches appeared. The aforementioned Indians said, 'It looks like a girl.' While they were discussing, they saw an image of Our Lady, the Holy Virgin, on top of a small wooden plank, holding the baby Jesus in her arms. On this small tablet, was written in large letters, which read, 'I am the Virgin of Charity.' Looking at her clothes, they realized that they were not wet.
Overjoyed by what they had discovered, they hurried back to Barajagua. They showed the statue to a government official, Don Francisco Sánchez de Moya, who then ordered a small chapel to be built in her honor. One night, Rodrigo went to visit they statue but discovered that the image was gone. He organized a search party but had no success in finding Our Lady of Charity. Then, the next morning, she was back on the altar, as if nothing had happened. This was inconceivable as the chapel had been locked. This event happened three times. The people of Barajagua came to the conclusion that she wanted to be in a different spot, so they took her to El Cobre. She was received with much joy in El Cobre, and the church there had its bells ring on her arrival. It was at this point that she became known as "Nuestra Señora de la Caridad del Cobre" or "Our Lady of Charity of El Cobre". Much to the dismay of people in El Cobre, the disappearance of the statue continued to happen.
One day, a young girl named Jabba was playing outside, pursuing butterflies and picking flowers. She went towards the mountains of the Sierra Maestra, where she came across the statue on top of a small hill. There were those who did and those who did not believe the little girl's testimony, but in the end, the Virgin was taken to the spot of her discovery, where a church was erected for her.
Before the famous image on 19 May 1801, a royal edict from king Charles IV of Spain decreed that Cuban slaves were to be freed from the El Cobre copper mines. The story circulated around the island quickly. Many felt that the Virgin purposely chose to have her sanctuary in El Cobre because it is located in Oriente Province. Later folk legends associated the taking of copper materials to their homes after having it blessed near the Virgin's sanctified image as a form of souvenir and miraculous healing.

Construction, Week 24
Last up, the lone shot from after I left the current store to be uploaded today, looking down the front of the new store – almost complete – as the sun shone its last rays for the day, preparing to set. As ever, it rose again the next day, and so too will another weekly upload, coming in the later half of next week and joined on Monday (Martin Luther King, Jr. Day) with a special set of interior pics of the current store.
Stay tuned for another set of uploads from the Horn Lake Kroger this Saturday, as well as a new blog post. (No transition that time – I think the first one was enough for one photo!)

Carrie was probably just glad that I got permission to hold her back from returning to her classroom so I could take pictures. Or maybe she was just happy to see me. ;)
A CTA Red Line train was spotted at Howard after completing its run and dropping off the last passengers. From there, it proceeded through Howard Yard via the Turnback Loop before heading south to 95th/Dan Ryan.
The completed Kolam at the Gardens Mall in Kuala Lumpur. (The previous photo was of the preparatory outline drawing for this kolam from a day earlier).
Kolams are colorful drawings formed using colored powders, often rice, chalk or rock powder. Kolams have become an almost de rigueur ornament at Malaysian shopping malls and hotels to mark the Deepavali/Diwali festival.
This mainly Hindu (but also marked by Sikhs, Jains and some Buddhists) festival celebrates the triumph of light over darkness, good over evil.
