We have joy and despair in the world of conflicting emotions. Possibly one person has the full effect of caffeine and the other is waiting for it to kick in?

A good start for a new 2022 year! A bit nostalgic build, because it's actually an updated version of one MOC of mine originally builded for a Megabricks Festival (Moscow, Russia) back in 2015. Unfortunally I never had a chance to take a good shot of that model, so in the end of 2021 I decided to build a remake of it from scratch. So, here is a result!
The 56 is running round the spoil for Badwell Sidings, Longport. The wagons can be seen through the wall. Generally it would use platform 12, but you can see that is occupied by another service - a test run for new units, running out of its time schedule. So passengers on platform 11 were treated to a little grid action. Crewe these days is a huge pinch point, services we queuing for a slot if they conflicted with any other lines.

Candid eye contact street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. Moving quickly through the scene, this man looks straight down the barrel of my lens and shouts at me to "Wait!". Instinctively I had already pressed the shutter button and heard a few choice words mumbled in my direction as he hurried off as quickly as he had appeared. Quite a striking shot with the motion blur just emphasising his emotion in this. Wishing you all a great weekend ahead.
Excerpt from loreley-info.com:
In popular speech Sterrenberg Castle and Liebenstein Castle are called the "Hostile Brothers". Probably the disputes of the different owners of the castles inspired the legend around the hostile brothers, first told in 1587.
In reality Liebenstein Castle, built in the 13th Century and therefore the younger one, was the forecastle of Sterrenberg Castle. The two shield walls serve as improved defence of Sterrenberg. There is no historic evidence that they were meant against Liebenstein Castle.
It is taken for granted that there never has been an armed conflict between the castles.
Today the tower accommodates a hotel and a restaurant.
Benni loves going in the truck with Don but she doesn't like leaving me. I think this shows the conflict in her sweet doggy mind.

A war left unfinished... until now!
After a long break from building, a trip to BrickFair Virginia and other conventions and places, here I am to present my latest Clone Wars era build within the urban areas of Batuu.
I wanted to go for something totally different from what I’ve done in the past in terms of building a Star Wars MOC. Watching a mix of different films such as 13 Hours, American Sniper and The Clone Wars of course got me inspired to do a military operation within a urban landscape. The inclusion of Dark Red, Tan and Dark Orange colors make up for some interesting styled buildings. Especially the ruined one on the bottom right.
I’d of course appreciate a like, a follow and of course your thoughts below on the build.
For millennia, the Ducican Kingdom has flourished under the rule of the Waterthorne royal family. Following the end of a civil war a few decades ago between the seven different houses united under this kingdom, there has not been any conflict in years.
But it seems like the peace has come to an end.
Ever since the current queen banished her son Jilan Waterthorne from the kingdom, things have been shaky. Jilan has struck a deal with an old enemy of hers, and the two have been gathering an army to take over control of the throne. Despite her staying confident that the two won’t pose an actual threat, the entire kingdom is able to see almost the entire royal guard getting killed in a siege with the enemy.
-The villains
Zardica: Once a loyal advisor who worked right alongside the Queen of Ducican, now a dark Sorcerer with an intense hatred for the royal family after an unknown event split the two apart. Following years of intense studying into Dark Magic, her once beautiful skin has now turned almost completely pitch black.
Jilan Waterthorne: For years, Jilan was seen as a worthy successor to the throne of Ducican. But his entire reputation fell apart on the night that he attempted to murder his own mother and current queen of the kingdom, Meyse Waterthorne under the point of view that his mother had ruled for long enough. After a lengthy trial, his mother decides to banish her son from the kingdom for good. Without any food or money, Jilan gets put outside the walls of the kingdom and is left wandering in the dark forests for days on end. This ends when he meets a dark Sorcerer named Zardica who holds an equally big grudge against the queen of Ducican. She strikes a deal with Jilan, where on the condition that she will get complete access to the countless magic artifacts stored in the vaults under the Waterthorne castle she is willing to help the Paladin take over the throne.
-The heroes
Sodma Longclaw: A Tabaxi Fighter, who after the tragic death of her family during the civil war ended up as a refugee in Ducican. Despite her species often being looked down on by most citizens of the kingdom, she was eventually taken in by an old material arts teacher who taught her how to defend herself with the use of a scimitar. Years later, following the murder of her teacher by an unknown assasin, Sodma decided to venture outside the walls of Ducican to take revenge for her mentor.
Telthryl: A Dwarf who spent most of his life in the mines under Ducican as a miner until a few years ago. One day, while Telthryl was mining for valuable ores in the mines, he accidentally discovered a cave with a dragon sleeping in it. After further mining woke the beast up, the dragon went on a rampage through the mines resulting in the death of every single one of Telthryl’s fellow mineworkers. Hellbent on avenging his fallen comrades, he abandoned his profession and taught himself how to use a big double-sided axe. Upon returning to the caves and confronting the dragon, he was able to become one of the first people to single-handedly take down a dragon in years. Following this achievement, Telthryl became a Barbarian and made it his profession to take down dangerous creatures.
Katjasik Hallowridge: A Human Bard who values music over everything. Despite being raised in a family filled with famous Clerics, Katjasik had more interest in the magic of music. After discovering an old musical instrument in the cellar of the Hallowridge mansion, he decided to pursue a future in studying music. His parents were far from happy with this decision though; after a heated argument about him not becoming a Cleric like all of his ancestors, he got kicked out of the house. Despite him having to sleep on the streets for a while, eventually he found a lot of success in performing in local bars for money. After learning how to use his music to cast spells too, he joined up with Telthryl and Sodma to form a ragtag group of mercenaries.
Following the defeat of the royal army, the queen of Ducican has no choice but to ask for mercenaries to defeat the evil forces. The group who succeeds in doing so, will be rewarded with a third of the queen’s wealth. Because this reward is one too big to pass up on, Somda, Telthryl and Katjasik decide to take on the task together.
Will these three brave heroes be able to stop Zardica and Jilan from taking over the kingdom? Only time will tell.

Had to take out a spot of tape I forgot to take down before the shot but oh well, wasn't re-shooting.. This was by far the best take.
blurry , manual lenses are hard to focus wide open. Snap's a moment in time and no chance to try again. The conflict was so short and all ended up fine. Nobody got harmed.

Este avión militar, más concretamente, un avión Douglas Super DC-3, pertenecía al ejército norteamericano. Durante la Guerra Fría existía una base del ejército norteamericano en Keflavik. Más de 3.000 soldados estadounidenses vivieron aquí durante años, mientras monitoreaban la actividad de los submarinos soviéticos. Esta base estuvo operativa hasta 2006, cuando se retiraron los efectivos que quedaban en el país. Pero entonces, si Islandia no se vio envuelta en ningún conflicto bélico, ¿Cómo ocurrió este accidente? Pues bien, este avión se estrelló en la playa de Sólheimassandur el 24 de noviembre de 1973, debido al parecer a una falta de combustible.
Sometimes I wonder, if the sea is bottomless, and full of endless possibilities. When do we get tired of it. How many hours do we stare out over the ocean and fall in love with it, every time? Still, it's full of contradictions. Waves and tides. Stream of fresh meets stream of salt. Hot against cold. I though about this when this shot was developed. It's and army against the navy. There's always a settlement.
An exercise in manual perspective correction. If you don't notice too much conflict I have succeeded.

In Lynch's work, the subconscious if often viewed as a place of conflict, where paranoid, phobias and moments of crisis reveal the negativity and instability of the human condition.
As he asserts, 'Everyone's subconscious is filled with plenty of horror. All the things we don't want to face with our conscious minds are there just waiting for us.' While locality plays an important role in characterising the immensity of these problems (in particular, insular and closed spaces), the challenges are ultimately made worse because the 'problems are inside the people themselves'.
In many of his lithographs, we are presented with an almost infantile outlook, with protagonists engaged in states of confusion, longing and alienation. The use of text - a few words or short phrases inscribed onto the lithographic stone - bestows these often solitary figures with various states of existential distress and emotional anguish reinforced by the titles of the works.
