The Taj Mahal ultimately from Arabic, "crown of palaces" is a white marble mausoleum located in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India. It was built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal. The Taj Mahal is widely recognized as "the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage".
Taj Mahal is regarded by many as the finest example of Mughal architecture, a style that combines elements from Islamic, Persian, Ottoman Turkish and Indian architectural styles.
In 1983, the Taj Mahal became a UNESCO World Heritage Site. While the white domed marble mausoleum is the most familiar component of the Taj Mahal, it is actually an integrated complex of structures. The construction began around 1632 and was completed around 1653, employing thousands of artisans and craftsmen. The construction of the Taj Mahal was entrusted to a board of architects under imperial supervision, including Abd ul-Karim Ma'mur Khan, Makramat Khan, and Ustad Ahmad Lahauri.
This is one of the canyons that drains into the Green River in the Labyrinth Canyon National Wilderness in Utah. This one caught my eye because of the dark soils on the right side of the canyon--their darkness is desert crust. Mature desert biocrust is a complex community of bacteria, algae, mosses and lichens that seals desert surfaces, trapping and conserving water and resisting erosion. All of its components grow slowly, so crust takes decades to form and mature. This canyon has no hiking trails in it--the trails at the bottom are formed by hooves breaking the crust and uncovering the light soil beneath. I have not seen the game, but would guess at either mule deer or desert bighorn sheep.
I suspect that the creek in this photo passes through a slot canyon near the top of the photo.

For anyone interested, a breakdown of the main components. I would love to see further iterations, so please feel free to build your own version!

PT&P custom designed seventy-eight figure 2000 heavy duty pipe saddles for two 24" insulated ductile iron pipelines. The two pipelines are routed beneath a 650' bridge crossing over a river in upper New York State. The insulation is 3" thick with high density polyethylene jacketing. Axial movements due to expansion can approach 3". In order for the jacketing to avoid being damaged when displacements occur, the saddles have been lined with polished stainless steel.

Many thanks for the kind comments and Favs HMM.
A component from inside one of my son's computers is amazing to me how something unseen can look quite attractive ( to me anyway) the sky blue color slightly reflects in the metal.
Happy "Smile on Saturday" with "tabletop game components"!
... and thank you so much for your views, faves and comments!
I was at a loss for this week's Flickr Friday. Not that I didn't have ideas for #Solidarity, it is just so big and difficult to capture. So I decided I wasn't going to do one, then standing in my bathroom, I looked down and noticed the beautiful shades in my weaved rug. I thought "that is #Solidarity". That is how I view humanity, many shades, textures, and components making up a collective whole. All wanting the same thing, to be happy! So as simple as this rug is, it represents my idea of #Solidarity.

The component parts of this shot of a Wanderer butterfly feeding on its favourite Milkweed were a touch bizarre but would not have been conducive to cropping so I'm leaving you with this Dali-esque concoction.

Excerpt from Wikipedia:
The Hong Kong–Shenzhen Western Corridor, also known for the main component Shenzhen Bay Bridge, is a cross-border highway between Shenzhen, Guangdong Province and Hong Kong. The highway bridge is a 5.5-kilometre (3.4 mi) dual three-lane controlled-access highway. It connects Ngau Hom Shek (鰲磡石), Hong Kong, to Dongjiaotou, which is administratively located in Nanshan District of Shenzhen. The corridor also had other components, a border checkpoint Shenzhen Bay Port, built on reclaimed land, as well as roads that connect the corridor to the existing road network of Shenzhen.
The highway bridge is part of Route 10 of the Hong Kong trunk road numbering system, the only other existing part being the Kong Sham Western Highway, formerly known as Deep Bay Link. The Shenzhen section of the Corridor, was also included as the extension of the S3 Guangshen Riverbank Expressway since circa 2010.
Hong Kong–Shenzhen Western Corridor is a cross border transport infrastructure which connects Hong Kong and Shenzhen. It was opened on 1 July 2007, the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the Hong Kong as a special administrative region of China. According to the People's Daily as well as the China News Service, the corridor consists of three parts: a highway bridge which span from Hong Kong and across the boundary of Hong Kong and Shenzhen, Shenzhen Bay Port as a border checkpoint, which entirely inside the administrative boundary of Shenzhen, and roads that connected the corridor to the road network, the S3 Guangshen Riverbank Expressway. However, departments and agencies of Hong Kong Government defined the bridge and port as separate items, and called the bridge as Hong Kong–Shenzhen Western Corridor or Shenzhen Bay Bridge.
The biggest section of the link is the 4,770 m (15,650 ft) bridge spanning the Deep Bay. The cable-stayed bridge allows for the southern and northern navigation channels of the Sham Chun River. It can handle 58,600 vehicles and 60,000 cross-boundary tourists per day. The border crossing facilities in Dongjiaotou are separately managed by the Customs and Excise Department and Immigration Department of Hong Kong, and the China Customs.

Hopefully I’ll be starting to build the ❓ next week... still waiting for some components to arrive.
What is it I’m building?

An idea inspired by Codey K.'s excellent BrickArms mods.
All components use a 1/16" pin and socket system and are held by friction.
The AK receiver has 5 holes to accommodate a butt stock, fore stock, mag, and two holes for scopes.
Proto parts have been injected, and parts will be available to hold and configure at BrickFair VA. See Codey for further details at the show.
