The River Tiddy at St Germans is the home of the Quay Sailing Club, which has been established since the 1970s. There is a comfortable clubhouse on the side of St Germans Quay, which was once busy with cargoes of minerals, coal, timber and limestone. The River Tiddy is part of the beautiful estuary of the River Lynher which joins the River Tamar close to Saltash. Here at St Germans the Great Western Railway crosses the river by way of a beautiful stone viaduct that was constructed in 1908 and replaced an earlier one partially constructed from wood and dating from 1855.
A freebuild for Guilds of Historica. It was interesting to build a castle still in progress, I will be finishing the castle, so you'll see the complete fortress eventually.

This is a continuation on my last birdcage concept. Unfortunately the last cage wasn't able to open on the bottom, so I had to wait until I got my hands on one that did.
Driving to this shoot, I was thinking of possible titles for this photo and my mind kept going over this idea of the cage and how many things it could represent. In a way, I think the cage can represent all of the constructs which exist in the world around us. We are born into these constructs, and because we can never fully separate from society or 'unknow' what we know, we can never fully divorce ourselves from them. It stands to reason that we will never fully understand how limited we truly are by these constraints. Beneath these constructs is our raw, authentic self. As artists, I think we are always striving to examine these 'cages', or to remove ourselves from them, however impossible that may be.

Always be ready for an adventure. Typically W9 and I don't share our space with many people. A nice mix of bird watchers and twitchers packed the Marsh yesterday. Scope/camera lady tipped us off to the location of the rare Eurasian Wigeon. Thank you.
It wasn't a very cooperative duck and after 200+ photos we moved along. The newly constructed bridge on the Marsh is finally open to foot traffic. It was a no-brainer to check it out. Suddenly Scope/camera lady charges out from the brush waving her arms overhead and yelling for us to stay away. A moment later she was walking over to us and thanking us for being so understanding. She explained that she was on a deadline to find 250 birds.
W9 and I are watchers. Finding a new bird can be reason to celebrate. But it really is the adventure of the journey ... learning something new and being able to recall and connect the information we've stuffed into our heads. Giving the game our best effort and still getting it wrong sometimes. Humbling. Thrilling.

Constructed between 1888 and 1897, the Library of Congress is located in Washington, D.C. at the intersection of 1st St. and Independance Avenue. It's beautiful, large-scale building is comprised mainly of marble, granite, iron, and bronze. The Library's architectural style is reminiscent of that of ancient Greece. It's typical Greek characteristics include columns of the Ionic order, relief sculpture, and statues of Greek god figures, such as Poseidon, god of the sea. These attributes are significantly comparable to those of the altar of Pergamon located in present day Turkey. Housing thousands of books, music, and art collections, the Library of Congress contains numerous reading rooms used by the public people. It is not restricted to use by special officials, but welcomes everybody as it was constructed specifically to serve as the American national library. Italian Renaissance designed bt J.L. Smithmeyer and P.J. Pelz.

STS MIR (Russian: Мир, - 'Peace') is a three-masted, full-rigged training ship, based in St. Petersburg, Russia. It was built in 1987 at the Lenin Shipyard in Gdańsk, Poland.
STS MIR is the second largest of six sister ships designed by Polish naval architect Zygmunt Choreń and weighs 2,385 tonnes. It is 109.2 m long, with a beam of 13.9 m and a draught of 6.3 m. The main mast is 52 m high and along with the other masts supports a total sail area of 2,771 m2.
Its sister ships are Dar Młodzieży, Druzhba, Pallada, Khersones, and Nadezhda. Mir is 8 m shorter than the second longest current sailing ship, the STS Sedov (117.5 m). It is owned and operated by the Admiral Makarov State Maritime Academy (AMSMA) in Saint Petersburg.
This ship was originally constructed as a cadet training ship, designed for carrying between 70 and 144 cadets. The total transport capacity is 199 people.
STS MIR has taken part in races, including the annual The Tall Ships' Races organised by Sail Training International. In the Grand Regatta Columbus 1992, celebrating the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus in 1492, Mir came out as the winner.
STS Mir is the fastest sailing ship in the world. Its officially registered maximum speed under canvas is 21 knots (38.9 km/h). In 2010 the ship established average speed record – 11.3 knots.

The Brotherhood of Makuta ran several experiments to create a Rahi that could control and manipulate forms of Protodermis in a way that would rival a Toa's innate elemental control.
Protosmith was initially thought to be the perfect engineer. But when Teridax launched his bloody coup of the Great Spirit, he sought to use this creation as the perfect weapon for war.
Protosmith rejected his campaign, and now fights the Brotherhood from within.
Found some old match boxes during a cleanup today. It seemed like a nice shot, just by putting a piece of paper on the background. In-camera development. Retro and basic parameters filter. Nothing more or less.

Constructed between 1847 and 1849 by the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway, (MS&LR - later became the Great Central), this is Torksey railway Viaduct, which crosses the River Trent between Lincolnshire & Nottinghamshire, roughly half way between Lincoln and Gainsborough. Designed by John Fowler (1817-1898), who later was one of the two engineers for the Forth Rail Bridge, Torksey Viaduct is a rare, and early surviving example of a tubular girder bridge.
There are two 130-foot spans over the River Trent, each consisting of two massive wrought iron girders - as seen here.
These are supported on stone piers - one in the centre and one at each side. On the Lincolnshire side is a 570-foot approach viaduct of 20 spans, and the bridge proper starts over a small natural island in the river. The position of the Bridge was chosen to use this island to simplify the task.
Captain Lintorn Simmons, the Board of Trade’s inspector, refused to grant permission for the viaduct to be opened, having “entertained doubts as to the ultimate security” of the bridge. After much argument, Fowler, supported by the Engineering profession, won the day, and the first train passed over in April 1850.
The bridge was twice strengthened - in 1877 & 1897, because increasing traffic and train loads. A conventional steel lattice girder (again, seen in this photograph) was inserted centrally into both main spans in the 1897 works, whilst the northern girders were moved out to maintain track clearances.
The "Leverton Branch", as this line (which ran between Sykes Junction near Lincoln and Clarborough, just West of Gainsborough), was known, was closed on November 3rd 1959, with Lincoln-Sheffield trains taking the only slightly less direct route through Gainsborough Lea Road. However, the line to the West of the Trent was reinstated in 1969 to serve the new power station at Cottam's need for coal, whilst on the Lincolnshire side, the line was run from Sykes Junction to the Shell petrol depot at Torksey. Only the viaduct itself remained closed.
The Oil traffic ceased in the late 1980s, and the track is now all lifted (and the road bridge on the Gainsborough-Lincoln road was removed).
Until the early 1990s it was possible the walk across the viaduct - this was no longer possible by the 1990s as the track bed had been removed on the bridge itself, and that part was fenced off. Happily, this was resolved during the las 12 months. The cycling and footpath charity Sustrans have installed the required safety fencing and reinstated the bridge bed on the North side. There is now a fine footpath over the impressive bridge to the riverbank on the Western (Nottinghamshire) side of the river. This shot shows the (still without a track bed) South side of the bridge.
The viaduct is rightly covered by a Grade II* listing but worryingly, also features on English Heritage's Buildings at Risk register.

Multi-span bridges are structures of two or more arches supported on piers. They were constructed throughout the medieval period for the use of pedestrians and packhorse or vehicular traffic, crossing rivers or streams, often replacing or supplementing earlier fords.
During the early medieval period timber was used, but from the 12th century stone (and later brick) bridges became more common, with the piers sometimes supported by a timber raft. Most stone or brick bridges were constructed with pointed arches, although semicircular and segmental examples are also known. A common medieval feature is the presence of stone ashlar ribs underneath the arch. The bridge abutments and revetting of the river banks also form part of the bridge. Where medieval bridges have been altered in later centuries, original features are sometimes concealed behind later stonework, including remains of earlier timber bridges. The roadway was often originally cobbled or gravelled. The building and maintenance of bridges was frequently carried out by the church and by guilds, although landowners were also required to maintain bridges. From the mid-13th century the right to collect tolls, known as pontage, was granted to many bridges, usually for repairs; for this purpose many urban bridges had houses or chapels on them, and some were fortified with a defensive gateway. Medieval multi-span bridges must have been numerous throughout England, but most have been rebuilt or replaced and less than 200 examples are now known to survive. As a rare monument type largely unaltered, surviving examples and examples that retain significant medieval and post-medieval fabric are considered to be of national importance.
Despite some later alterations and repair work, Aylesford Bridge is a well preserved medieval multi-span bridge. It is a good example of its type and will retain evidence relating to medieval bridge construction and masonry techniques. Deposits buried underneath the bridge will preserve valuable artefactual, ecofactual and environmental evidence, providing information about the human and natural history of the site prior to the construction of the bridge.

This record was the subject of a minor enhancement on 15 December 2014. The record has been generated from an "old county number" (OCN) scheduling record. These are monuments that were not reviewed under the Monuments Protection Programme and are some of our oldest designation records.
The monument includes a medieval multi-span bridge situated over the River Medway at Aylesford.
Aylesford Bridge is constructed of Kentish ragstone with seven arches including a central segmental arch and six pointed and double-chamfered outer arches. The bridge is about 4m wide between the centres of the stone-coped parapet. The end arches are partly buried by the river bank. The stone piers have cutwaters on the upstream and downstream sides on rebuilt concrete foundations. On each side are octagonal and triangular canted pedestrian refuges resting on buttresses over the piers. Below the bridge is a barge-bed constructed from large baulks of timber.
Aylesford Bridge is thought to have been constructed in about the 14th century, and is situated downstream from the probable site of an earlier ford. A grant of pontage was issued in 1331, although it is possible that this relates to a timber predecessor. In about 1824, the two centre arches were replaced by a single arch of 18m span, removing a pier to allow passage for larger river traffic.
Aylesford Bridge is Grade I listed.
Left to right: Blue Beetle (Jaime Reyes), Connor Hawke, Black Canary, Green Arrow, Green Lantern, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Zatanna, the Atom, Guy Gardner, Blue Devil
Blue Beetle: I want that blue Ninjago guy head for him and the fairy wings instead of the clear bee ones. If anyone has them for trade, I'm in the market.
Connor Hawke: Simple update: plain legs. That is all.
Black Canary: She's finished. Billy did a great job with the torso. CapeMadness on Bricklink was more than willing to cut a dark blue AR jacket. Thanks to them, I have this sweet Dinah. She deserves and will receive a solo pic.
Green Arrow: I changed the hips and added the sleeve thing. Do you guys like the hips?
Green Lantern: I made the hair the darker version.
Superman: I love the comic suit, but the print TLG made for MoS was just too steasy not to use. I figure when he's with the JLA he can wear this.
Batman: Big updates. I got the BrickWarriors vambraces and CitizenBrick legs for him. I think they really complete the look. Do you guys prefer this cape or the Ring Wraith cape for him? I'll do whichever you guys like. He's also sporting my patented two batarang technique and custom gas pellets made from long antenna ends.
Wonder Woman: I like Sting as her sword above traditional molds. I also prefer the Cap shield for her traditional outfit than any of those dark brown ones. When the new Cap shield comes, I'll use that, obviously.
Aquaman: I love TLG's Aquaman torso, but I just wasn't feeling that for him. I prefer this. Those are TinyTactical sleeve ends on his wrists. I take Aquaman seriously, so no jokes here, please. What gets me is when people say his powers only work underwater. You can be impaled on a trident anywhere. And stabbing people with a trident is badass.
Zatanna: Simple.
The Atom: Someone deserves credit for the body armor use, but I can't remember who. I came up with the cowl use a while ago and posted my intention to make the Atom with it, but could never follow through until now. Thank you, unsung hero. Sound off in the comments if you think it's you.
(EDIT: Julianosaurus came up with it)
Guy Gardner: Another secret someone gets torso credit here. Pretty simple custom once the jacket is figured out. Sporting an aluminum bat construct made of wine bottle and cylinder.
(EDIT: Shabazel is the one who used that torso first)
Blue Devil: I made this muscle tee from a Batman torso and have been using it a lot. Anyway, my Blue Devil here has a Harry Potter head and aside from that is pretty simple. I chose to make the more modern design of him.

Château de Nagoya (Japon)
La construction du château de Nagoya a été achevée en 1612.
Au cours de l'époque d'Edo, le château de Nagoya était le centre de l'une des plus importantes villes possédant un château et l'une des principales étapes le long de la route Minoji qui reliait la route Tokaido à la route Nakasendō.
Jusqu'à l'ère Meiji, le château était la demeure du clan Owari Tokugawa de la famille Tokugawa. Il a été détruit par un incendie durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, mais le donjon a été reconstruit. (Wikipédia)
