Happy Blue Monday
and good luck for us all at COP24 (24th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change)
because up to now we haven't achieved much to save our planet!
My contribution to Macro Mondays' challenge, "Painted", on 10 February 2020. The duckling behind the bill belongs to a family of three hand-painted balsa wood ducks - a present from a friend visiting from Indonesia. Its scratched and battered surface bears witness to the love and attention the little duck family has received over the years from grandkids and other small people. HMM.
This was my contribution to the Guilds of Historica collaboration at Brickworld this year. I built the entire landscape and started on the buildings, before getting Isaac’s help to finish the model in time. The base split into three portions, and all the buildings were easily removable to allow for convenient transport of the build. It had been a while since I’d done a proper Middle Eastern scene, so it was a really fun build and I think turned out as one of my best Castle models yet.
Be sure to check out multiple pictures, as the build is viewable from all sides. More angles and close ups available on Brickbuilt.

This is my contribution to the New Hashima collab that was displayed at this year's BrickingBavaria.
The cyberpunk inspired island was my biggest project yet and I really enjoyed being part of such a big project. A big thank you to Simon & Jan for making it all possible!
You can currently see a part of the layout for some time in the Brickstory Museum, where you can also find my island!
My contribution to Macro Mondays' challenge, "Flame", on 27 July 2020. The lantern is some decades old and has been a faithful companion on many a camping trip.
Everyone knows that all the best ideas for anything, ever, have been jotted down on beer mats first. Always seeking to be topical rather than typical, we want to make a valuable contribution to the endless public debate about our giddy drinking culture. Here is some culture about drinking. Know your limits. It is time to celebrate all that is good about having a tipple. Stuff by artists, stuff by the good people of Halifax.

My contribution to Novvember! Stringing this thing together was a serious pain in the ass, but hopefully worth it. Enjoy!
My contribution to the group Fotosöndag theme for last week: diagonal.
Krispig novemberdag. Hög luft. Klarblå himmel. Varmgula solstrålar. Frostade ledstänger på promenadvägen till Vinterviken. Där det fanns varm choklad och salami/brie-macka på det fullsmockade cafét. Barnvagnstätt. Slamrande porslin. Skratt och snoriga nosar. Friskt och levande. Skråddande genom lördagen. Lite diagonalt helt enkelt.
The outstanding contribution made by the people of the Netherlands to the technology of handling water is admirably demonstrated by the installations in the Kinderdijk-Elshout area. Construction of hydraulic works for the drainage of land for agriculture and settlement began in the Middle Ages and have continued uninterruptedly to the present day. The site illustrates all the typical features associated with this technology – dykes, reservoirs, pumping stations, administrative buildings and a series of beautifully preserved windmills.
Decided to give the image a vintage feel, as it could be timeless apart from the cranes in the background.
Mitt bidrag till Fotosöndag och veckans tema «lågt».
My contribution for this week's theme «low»; for the Swedish photo group Fotosondag.
My contribution for Macro Monday this week May 1st with the theme #Crime. I used my new Opteka 10x diopter attached to my 50mm lens. I chose to use a corn husk doll that I made several years ago to both represent a body at a crime scene as well as a voodoo doll. I was thinking of the way doing witchcraft or magic used to be considered a criminal offence. This poor corn husk doll has been stuck with a pin through the chest.
Macro Mondays: Father
This is my first contribution to Macro Mondays.
This week's theme is "father". The portrayed object shall honor the (conceptual) father of the photographer.
I was raised by my grandparents until I was a young man. They have been actually parents to me. Yet, I've seen my genetic father only once. So, I really think that my grandpa, his name was Heinrich, is in fact the man I have to and want to honor here.
When I was 9 years old in 1990, for Christmas I had this model locomotive (and a complete train) under the tree. On the morning of that day, I was wondering, what my (grand-) father was working on. He built a plate onto which I later on had the opportunity to set up the tracks and the train and all the accessoires. A little more than two years later I got my first computer, an Amiga 500 by Commodore (still the best piece of hardware in home computer history :-)), but thats another story ;-) ). However, since many many years the train I portrayed here is still standing next to my computer monitor.
The object is a (Mini-) Trix locomotive. Trix is a German model train manufacturer, with 1:160 measure. The length of the locomotive from buffer to buffer is a little less than 60 millimeters.
I stacked this shot from 40 phoptographs or so.
I used the tools Darktable, Gimp, and Zerene. I regularly use FLOSS-tools only ... But Zerene a) runs on Linux and b) is worth every cent. Compared to blending via the great enfuse-tool, it's easier to use and much much faster, yielding impressive results. Additionally, Zerene stacker is available for Linux directly, which I really would like to honor, here, as well.
The shots were done with the Nikon AF 60mm f/2.8 macro lens together with an extension tube, mounted to a D850 on a WeMacro rail.
Most of the time to take this was consumed by thinking of my grandfather (and of my grandmother). My grandpa would have become 93 only two days before I took this shot.
I miss my (grand-) parents endlessly and I always will.

...this is my contribution to the last (T-T) Seasons Hunt .... and a big gigantic thank you to Hallie for patiently organizing these wonderful hunts!
The house is smallish but still big enough to be fun to decorate - it has 2 doors - one in the back too because i don't like feeling trapped in a house! lol! I have included some pieces with matching textures that could be used in a garden, including a little 6 prim patio with a short wall. I didn't want to attach it so that it could be placed where you want it - or not used at all to save prims. I hope you enjoy it! have fun! :))
My contribution to Argus Day 2025, 25 Argust 2025.
This is the sixth time I participated in Argus Day. As last year, no double exposures, no blank shots, no ripped film, no out-of-focus shots. Still, I don't think that the Argus will become my favourite camera any time soon. Though I must say that the Cintar lens always provides nice contrasts.

In July 2019 GBRf ousthopped 66747 in the livery of Sheffield based Newell & Wright Transport. With a container depot in Masborough they provide a haulage and container logistics service.
In appreciation of the contribution made by aggregate and construction companies to keep the UK moving, GBRf painted one of its newly imported class 66 locomotives, 66793, into the 'hertiage' livery of British Rail Railfreight Construction during March 2021.
The pair are seen at Tonbridge West Yard, alongside 73963 and 73961 on 24/04/21
My contribution to Macro Mondays' challenge, "In a row", on 7 October 2019. As it's currently Spring here in Australia, there are lots of bluebells in our garden.
I'm just watching the Snow Storm tonight from my front door. Trying many different types of exposures as people attempt , unsuccessfully to back out of their driveways in the blizzard. I ended up with this longer 1s exposure without Flash. I feel the bullrushes faintly at the bottom add the needed balance for the framing preventing too much negative space. The appearance that there are 3 headlights in play is simply an illusion and merely a combination of both left and right lamps during the start and stop of the slide combining in the center. This gives the impression of a third light. I really enjoyed how the longer exposure shows the falling snow more as streaks than flakes and its contribution to the feeling of motion. Kinda Fun to see the Camera's AE try desperately to figure things out unsuccessfully in the many trial and error attempts to get to this image. I tried several shots in Manual as well but this was the one I was most pleased with. I'm trying to express more of how I see interesting images in my efforts lately and even trying some panoramic shots for personal development.
This is my contribution to the Smile on Saturday Group. The theme is: smile. There is nothing better than a smile. So I used my skinniest finger to fit a Santa Hat on it and to give you this beautiful Christmas Smile ! I hope you like it !!
Note to myself: It is super hard to take a picture of your own hand… ;-).
And since we are Saturday it is a pink day in Color my World Daily Group, that explains my pink background.
Note to myself #2: pink goes very well with red ! Who knew ??
HSoS and HCMWD to all participants!
Thank you so much for your comments /favs and support! I’m humbled and grateful!!! I wish you all an amazing day and see you soon on Flickr!! #smile

My contribution to the Macro Mondays challenge, "Junk", on 23 September 2019. It's a very old tin brooch containing a posy of wildflowers. It was given to my mother, or possibly my grandmother, when she was a child. Definitely junk, albeit of the sentimental kind.

The Avro Lancaster is the most famous and successful RAF heavy bomber of World War Two. It is a legend that lives on today and the contribution made by the aircraft and its crews to the freedom of our nation will, hopefully, never be forgotten. The prototype Lancaster took to the air for its first flight from Woodford, Manchester, on 9th January 1941; the first production Lancaster flew later that year on 31st October. The first RAF unit to receive the new aircraft for operations (on Christmas Eve 1941) was No 44 Squadron at Waddington, quickly followed by 97 Squadron at Woodhall Spa. The performance of the Lancaster was simply outstanding. It could carry a maximum bomb load of 22,000 lb, its maximum level speed with a full load at 15,000 feet was 275 mph and it could cruise routinely at altitudes above 20,000ft at a range speed of 200 mph. With a full bomb load the aircraft had a range in excess of 1,500 miles. The Lancaster’s performance, its ruggedness, reliability and to many its sheer charisma, endeared it to its crews who were proud to fly this famous thoroughbred.
An impressive total of 7,377 Lancasters were built between 1941 and early 1946. Of these, some 3,500 were lost on operations and another 200 or so were destroyed or written off in crashes. The vast majority of those Lancasters that did survive the war were simply scrapped when their services were no longer required, as the reverence in which the aircraft is now held had yet to develop to the point where their preservation seemed important.
The Lancaster did not carry the weight of the night bombing offensive against Nazi Germany on its own but was supported by other earlier twin-engine bombers such as the Wellington and the other four-engine RAF heavy bombers – the Stirling and the Halifax – as well as medium bomber versions of the twin-engine De Havilland Mosquito. In total some 125,000 aircrew served in Bomber Command during World War Two; over 73,700 of them became casualties, either killed, wounded or shot down and made PoWs.
In a letter to the head of Avro after the war, Marshal of the Royal Air Force Sir Arthur Harris, the Commander in Chief of Bomber Command, said of the Lancaster:
“I would say this to those who placed that shining sword in our hands: Without your genius and efforts we could not have prevailed, for I believe that the Lancaster was the greatest single factor in winning the war.”
My contribution for this week's theme "photo", for the Swedish photo group Fotosondag.
Första helgen i mars som vi tillbringade i stugan i Västernäs. Inte så mycket vår i sikte. Mest grått. Tur att vi har ett par röda båtbojer som skänker lite färg åt bilden. :)
Macro Mondays Contribution "Brands"
(A.Schacht M-Travenar R 1:2,8/50mm)
Electron tubes branded "Tesla" have been produced in socialist Czechoslovakia since 1946.
Since 2010 the still existing firm shares the name "Tesla" with the U.S. car manufacturer.
Falchion is my contribution to the CIRCorp round of the Starfighter Telephone Game. It follows (the superb) Backblast from uspez, and now completes the full circle back to halfbeak.
I also made a high-speed construction video here on Flickr or here on YouTube, and a build walkthrough video with commentary at youtu.be/l8j_Tbu-EF4.
Lastly, overall shaping/balance in the rear section (addition of upper tail and length of engine section) benefited hugely from some advice from Rob. Thanks again!
My contribution to Macro Mondays' challenge, "Handle", on 25 May. The cup is part of a demi-tasse coffee set that I was given as a wedding present in 1970. Not sure I've ever used any of it till now.
Zdravăn is my contribution to Keith Goldman's “A Bus Stop in Bucharest” collaboration. Go check out Keith's diorama!
It was an honor and a delight to participate -- thanks again, Keith! This was my first non-spaceship in eons. I took much inspiration from a terrific concept by Fausto De Martini, and of course from the other contributors.
My contribution to Macro Mondays challenge, "Redux 2019", on 30 December 2019. The grimy marks attest to the ruler's many years of use for mapping and engineering design.

My contribution to this weeks theme, still life (with a touch of Halloween), for the photo group Fotosöndag.
Några snäckor från årets Thailandsresa och ett par ljus på ett klassiskt tennfat från Jämtland. Svårare ska det ju inte vara att ta en bild på temat "stilleben". Om det inte var för att det skulle göras på Alla helgons-helgen som till råga på allt inföll på samma dag som Halloween. Inte konstigt att det for omkring en massa konstigt i luften vid plåtningen. Ja, även dagen efter själva begifvenheten. De hade en himlans kul helg de där illbattingarna.

This is my contribution to Concept Collaboration's February theme: spiral. It was inspired by how quickly a simple encounter can become something that it never was in the mind of someone with anxiety or depression. Sometimes what should be an easy conversation leaves me panicked, queasy, and full of self-loathing. I know in my head that the other person is completely oblivious to my perceived awkwardness, but I need to consciously calm myself down and remember that to keep my emotions controlled.
I have a tattoo on my left wrist that simply reads 'don't panic'. I'll post a photo of it one day, probably.

This was one of my contributions to the Isles of Aura InnovaLUG layout at Brickworld this year. While trying to come up with ideas for how to make an island that was a little different than just your average floating rock, a flash of inspiration hit. Why not make a shipwreck island? I mean, with all these rocks and boats just floating around in the sky, it seems like the odds are pretty high that it would happen eventually. So now I had a good idea! But having an idea and building it are two different matters. I wanted the ship to have split the island, so that each side was at an angle. To achieve this, I made an extremely solid technic frame, and then built out from there. I’ll be doing a build log for this in the near future, so I won’t spoil all the details, but let’s just say it was quite a challenge at times. The buildings here were extremely fun to build however! I pretty much just tried to see how many balconies I could fit on one building with the taller one. Got to put some our MDF tiles to use too. Anyways, thanks for looking, and I hope you enjoy the build – as always, C&C is very welcome!
Lots more pictures on Brickbuilt!
