From yesterday's US Navy Blue Angels demonstration at Travis Air Force Base, Fairfield, CA, during the annual Wings Over Solano event, here are a few passes using my DFA 150-450mm on the K3ii. Polarizer was used to cut sky glare.
Hope you enjoy these.

A recently completed project at work is this ex Ulsterbus Alexander (Belfast) bodied Bristol RELL6G. Several of the general type survive into preservation but most wear either Ulsterbus blue or Citybus dark red and 'cream'. The owner of this particular bus wanted to emulate those (including this) which went over the border to complete its life as a school bus with erstwhile independent 'Lough Swilly'. The livery, it is said, was inspired by the arrival into that fleet of several second hand Alexander (Falkirk) bodied Y Type Leyland Leopards from Clydeside Scottish.
Here, BXI 2570 pauses for a quick photo on its way from our main yard to the storage compound last week.
Once functional. Lost usefulness. Neglected. Time passes by. Gains maritime beauty in the artful eye.
Finally found all 4 of these outfits on eBay! I really wanted these, but I have no interest in the dolls. After a little search on eBay, I found them all (minus the jackets that were suppose to come with the pants outfits, but it's a small sacrifice) .
I had to rush photographing her as sun was setting down and all the arrangements (backround, adjusting tripod) took far longer than I expected. After I was editing Gem´s photo I wondered how it look so weird. Then it hit me I put her hands in a wrong way! x´D
It was supposed to be a photo of representing Gem´s new wig which came from ~Tatzuki-san~ (Thanks! ^^ ) but now it´s nothing like that. I totally messed up this... :´P
edit~ ...and bear hood came from formidable long, long ago. Almost forgot to mention it. :3
The building first opened on June 1, 1881 with its present-day structure completed in 1914. In 2012, it underwent a major renovation in order to redevelop it as the centerpiece of a new transit-oriented mixed use development on the site's former rail-yards

Well, this has been quite the experience building so many vehicles at once.
I'm doubting I'm going to win, but hey, fingers crossed.

A Furphy water cart on my brother's farm in south western NSW.
These carts are quite well known in rural Australia and were designed and manufactured by blacksmith John Furphy in Shepparton, Victoria in the late 19th century until 1983. They were used on many farms early in that period and also used by Australian troops in World War I.
This one was used by my family for bush and grass fires and now sits in "retirement" on the farm.
There is an Australian slang expression "furphy" which means an erroneous or improbable story and is rumoured to have derived from people gathering and talking around the water cart back in the day but this story too may well be a furphy!
More on its meaning and supposed origin here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furphy
I found the silver candelabrum to complete No. 2 Princess's Late Night Tea from the Re-ment 2008 Collection Princess Tea Party. (From Renatta's site: Notes Translated by Re-Ment: On beautifully moon lit nights, light the candles and have tea with her favorite tea set. Thank you Renatta for your wondrous site!)
I had to cobble two partial sets together to complete this. I'm still not sure why the tea set is all trimmed in gold and the candelabrum is silver.
I'm still missing one of the eight sets...No. 1, Crown Motif Set. It's the one with a tea set in a little castle box. I had it at one time and don't know what happened to it. I may have sold it when I got out of doll stuff for a while, sigh. I may always be missing it, because the last one I saw on ebay was $58!
The Tintina Trench is a linear valley, extending into Alaska and south across the Yukon. In May and September, it is a dramatic avian flyway. It is a huge migration corridor for sandhill cranes, tundra swans, peregrine falcons and numerous other bird species. The riverside cliffs, wetlands, marshes and muskegs provide suitable nesting sites for some of these species as well as offering plenty of food. The flight of the sandhill cranes is the most obvious and spectacular of the migrations. It is an awesome sight as over 200,000 of these large birds pass through here on their way to and from their tundra nesting grounds. The Tintina Trench is also home to a large number of wildlife species year-round, with a particularly large population of lynx. The numerous river tributaries that drain into the trench provide migration routes and spawning grounds for salmon.
I shot this image facing north over-looking the Yukon Plateau. The Yukon plateau has deep valleys, rounded mountains, and areas of permafrost, that have created "tilted" or "drunken forests". The vegetation is rich and diverse, and includes hardwoods, as well as soft woods. There are over a half dozen edible berries, and the ponds are dotted with the unique "yellow pond lily". Hot springs are also found in this region. It reminds me of a far north "Garden of Eden". As you stand looking out on the vast landscape - it tends to make you feel very very small, but it is an awesome sight and one that I wish everyone could experience.

The Dark green serves to break up the off white and bright green, it’s a tad darker than I expected but still looks good. I am sure in natural light it will look even better
tentatively posting first pic of my not-so-new-anymore boy, Dollzone Snow, who I got back in august and only JUST fund time to make a faceup for him. He got no wig or eyes of his own, so it's very tentative first pic. But he's really so cute. SO CUTE. I love him a lot ;_;
Character wise he's gonna be Pandora Box's drummer. More about that when I'll complete his look x)

Dear partner, I hope you like your pouch! This is the back (although you could use it for the front if you liked!) It measures about 10" x 10" so I kept it as a flat pouch so it would be nice and roomy for supplies/hand stitching projects - whatever you want to use it for really!
Grand Master's Palace.
Si tratta dei grandi corridoi loggiati situati al piano superiore del palazzo (il Piano Nobile).
Questi passaggi storici circondano internamente il Cortile di Nettuno e servivano da collegamento tra i vari appartamenti privati dei Gran Maestri e le imponenti Sale di Stato (come la Sala del Trono o la Sala degli Ambasciatori).
- Lungo entrambi i lati del corridoio sono schierate autentiche armature a piastra complete risalenti al XVI e XVII secolo. Appartenevano ai Cavalieri dell'Ordine di San Giovanni ed erano originariamente custodite nell'armeria del palazzo per difendere la fortezza in caso di attacco.
- Il pavimento presenta elaborati motivi geometrici realizzati con intarsi di marmi policromi.
Al centro si possono notare degli stemmi araldici decorati, tipici delle residenze magistrali dell'Ordine.
- La parte superiore della volta è interamente decorata con un ricco ciclo di affreschi in prospettiva.
Molti dei dipinti e delle lunette presenti in questi corridoi celebrano le glorie navali dell'Ordine, paesaggi storici maltesi e le battaglie contro l'Impero Ottomano.
- Tra le grandi porte in legno e le finestre sono appesi dipinti e ritratti ufficiali dei vari Gran Maestri che si sono succeduti nel corso dei secoli alla guida di Malta.
Grand Master's Palace.
These are the large corridors with loggias located on the upper floor of the palace (the Piano Nobile).
These historic passageways surround the Courtyard of Neptune and served as a connection between the various private apartments of the Grand Masters and the imposing State Rooms (such as the Throne Room and the Ambassadors' Hall).
- Along both sides of the corridor are authentic complete suits of plate armor dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries. They belonged to the Knights of the Order of St. John and were originally kept in the palace armory to defend the fortress in case of attack.
- The floor features elaborate geometric patterns created with polychrome marble inlays.
At the center are decorated coats of arms, typical of the Order's magisterial residences.
- The upper part of the vault is entirely decorated with a rich cycle of frescoes in perspective.
Many of the paintings and lunettes in these corridors celebrate the Order's naval glories, historic Maltese landscapes, and battles against the Ottoman Empire.
Between the large wooden doors and windows hang paintings and official portraits of the various Grand Masters who have ruled Malta over the centuries.

I've completely given up on completing the Cliché Scavenger Hunt. Not that I'm not interested in all the different forms of cliché, just that I can't ever seem to find the energy to put into it. I guess I'm a bit of a photographic "couch potato". Oh well - the first step is admitting it. Then comes acceptance. Then someday, maybe, change. In the meantime here's the usual moody BW (cliché) flower photo. HCS, kids ~
A monument to the soldiers of the Polish Home Army who died resisting Soviet occupation and later domination between 1945-54 in Augustów, Poland. The monument was completed in 2013.
The memorial is dedicated to the “Cursed Soldiers of the Fallen in the Borderlands”, almost entirely forgotten outside Poland. More than 650 soldiers, many of them known only by noms de guerre, presumably to protect their families from reprisals, are commemorated on the monument.
The inscription reads: “They survived until the end on the lost posts, they gave their lives for Poland, the faith of their ancestors and human freedom. They well deserved their homeland.”
Dominating the monument is the eagle that is the national symbol of Poland.
I have so far been unable to find any information about the sculptor.
While during 17th - 22nd April 2017 the complete line along the left side shore of the Rhein was blocked due to urgent works going on, all trains had to use the line along the right side of the valley.
Here an Intercity passes the small town of Sankt Goarshausen on its way south on 20th April 2017, Burg Katz castle on the hill above.
I was standing on the peninsula that seperates Goarshausen harbour from the Rhein at left behind the wall.

This serie to share the progress about this second attempt at doing something "original", also to figure out how my brain works when I build. What obstacles I face during the design process and how I overcome them.
So I ended up making a greebly pipe nonsense to complete the build. Not really original but I like it this way. Subtle changes may occur but it should be very close from the final product.
Next entry, we start with real parts.
Also, what I ripp...eh I mean what inspired me for this build:
- NDF Destroyers by Daemoria for the first half and color scheme.
- Valyrian Battleship Bloodraven by Dasnewten for the back.
- Siberia from seb71 for the blue stripes.
- The Eleventh Hour from Daniel Barwegen for some greebles.
- Dragonfly Command Cruiser by Pierre E Fieschi for the sensor mess (use of the ring part).
