I found the original file card from my childhood Steel Brigade. I thought it had been lost years ago, but it was in a box at my parents' house.

 

His name was supposed to be Jet Stream but they messed it up and wrote Sea Stream for some bizarre reason. So you can see the corrections I made.

This bus stop at the foot of the Canongate in Edinburgh has been equipped with an updated Real Time Passenger Information system which is being tested. The city and Lothian Buses introduced the city’s original RTPI system - branded BusTracker circa 2004 - but is well overdue for replacement.

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…! :)

Awesome Build

Eleven and half Hours of fun

Finally modern updates of the first 3 Storm Shadows

my wife asked me,

where have you been the last three hours ?

I created a picture.

Wow, she said, looks like a Mackintosh.

I didn't think of Charles Rennie ... I was just in a flow ...

I said, pretending to be indignant

and smiled at her ...

 

:::))) ...

 

have left the grid several times, that's the only way good things happen ...

 

grid versus texture versus pattern ...

 

;-) ...

 

Because I mentioned Ch.R.Mc ...

I could have also mentioned Oswald Mathias Ungers ...

Mackintosh was contradictory in a contradictory time of upheaval ... he admired the style, Wiki thinks, because of its restraint and economy of means rather than ostentatious accumulation; its simple forms and natural materials rather than elaboration and artifice; and its use of texture and light and shadow rather than pattern and ornament. In the old western style, furniture was seen as ornament that displayed the wealth of its owner; the value of the piece was established according to the length of time spent creating it. In the Japanese arts furniture and design focused on the quality of the space, which was meant to evoke a calming and organic feeling to the interior.

 

At the same time a new philosophy concerned with creating functional and practical design was emerging throughout Europe: modernism. The central aim in modernism was to develop a purity of expression with designs explicitly responsive to intended building use. Ornament and traditional styles were demoted. Although Mackintosh has been counted as a pioneer of modernism, his work always retained a decorative sensibility and features ornament. Mackintosh took his inspiration from his Scottish upbringing and blended them with the flourish of

Art Nouveau

and the simplicity of Japanese forms.

 

While working in architecture, Charles Rennie Mackintosh developed his own style: a contrast between strong right angles and floral-inspired decorative motifs with subtle curves (for example, the Mackintosh Rose motif), along with some references to traditional Scottish architecture. The project that helped make his international reputation was the Glasgow School of Art (1897–1909). During the early stages of the Glasgow School of Art Mackintosh also completed the Queen's Cross Church project in Maryhill, Glasgow. It is the only built Mackintosh church design and is now the Charles Rennie Mackintosh Society headquarters. As with his contemporary

Frank Lloyd Wright,

Mackintosh's architectural designs often included extensive specifications for the detailing, decoration, and furnishing of his buildings. The majority, if not all, of this detailing and significant contributions to his architectural drawings were designed and detailed by his wife Margaret Macdonald whom Charles had met when they both attended the Glasgow School of Art. Their work was shown at the eighth

Vienna Secession Exhibition

in 1900.

These are all of my childhood Polly Pockets.

 

Polly's Country Cottage - 1989 - Complete - This one and Midge's Play School were the first Polly Pockets I ever had. They were given to me at my 5th birthday party.

(Sorry for the not so high quality photo, it was taken on my friends phone and it kinda turned out a little weird)

Sorry guys if I didn't upload a lot of pics recently, but I had a lot of things to do and I found easier to upload my pics on Instagram as it's faster, but now I'm back :p

Here's the complete pic of the lot I recently got from my friend, I already posted a pic of the My Scenes and Toralei but here are the others ^^

It's a big bunch of all types of dolls XD You have Barbies, Disney, Friends, Clones and more and I forgot to take a pic of the lot of clothes but it was as huge as the doll lot

I'm totally lost in my cleaning, I have way too much to wash... I'll succeed one day, but it will take a lil while XD

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.

Just received the complete Gloom Beach collection this week-end !

(They're not released in France yet so I found them on eBay)

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

U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds #8 from Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada, over Death Valley National Park

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.

One of the most imposing state capitol buildings in the United States, closely resembling the U.S. Capitol but 14 feet taller. Unfortunately, Texas' government is even more mediocre than the government in Washington DC. The state of Texas sold more than two million acres of land to pay for the capitol, which was completed in 1888. The pink color is from the native granite mined in the nearby Hill Country.

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!)

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.

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 bridal shoot in Dubai for a couple.

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.
