My contribution for this week's theme "nature"; for the Swedish photo group Fotosondag.
Well, även gråsparvar i en förortshäck hör ju liksom till naturen. Kanske inte den där avkopplande, friska naturen man är ute i för att reflektion och återhämtning. Men när inget annat finns tillgängligt än en handfull gråsparvar som näbbas i en nyponbuske, får det funka som temabild också.

This is my contribution to Macro Mondays' theme "Wings".
Wikipedia explains (cf. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wingnut_(hardware)):
"A wingnut, wing nut or butterfly nut is a type of nut with two large metal 'wings', one on each side, so it can be easily tightened and loosened by hand without tools."
The photograph shows two 3/8"-16 UNC wingnuts, mounted to threaded rods. The thread-type is one of the - I assume - two standard-thread-types for photo- and filmography equipment.
Image-dimensions (circa): 37mm x 60mm (approximately the golden cut, though the composition does not really fit it).
I used darktable, gimp and zerene to pp this. The photo was taken with the Nikon AF Micro 60 mm f/2.8 together with an extension tube on a Nikon D850 mounted to a WeMacro rail.
PS: For German photographers bestimmt 'ne geile Seite: www.fotoschraubenshop.de/info/ ... bei denen hab ich die Gewindestangen und Muttis auch gekauft.

My piece is a six-layered print, my third such experiment using the Print Gocco. Unfortunately, this particular time the Gocco inks printed a bit dark for my liking, so I had to lighten them up a tad in Photoshop. I guess with Gocco, you never really know how they're gonna turn out until you finish printing the last separation. I think from now on I should stick to prints under three or four colors until I master this new (to me) technology. I'd love to know if anybody's tried using other types of inks aside from Riso (such as Versatex) and what where their results. I find that the Gocco inks are a bit expensive (for the amount of ink you get) and difficult to mix to create the exact color and opacity I'm looking for.

It's International Lego Classicist Day 2021 and this is my contribution for this year!
Ramses II. on his war chariot at the Battle of Kadesh, accompanied by archer and cheetah. The depiction of the scene is a blend between two motives.
The stylistic approach tries to recreate this image of Ramses, with hieroglyphs, cheetah and archer. While the position of the horses - to be more visible - is taken from a second image. The hieroglyphs between Ramses and the horses were spared out for artistic reasons, to have a cleaner look.
.jpg){kind=link}
More images and details of the war chariot will follow the next days.
Happy ILCD 2021! 😊

My final contribution to the New Elementary parts fest. I previously made a camera that was "life-sized" which I was fortunate enough to display along with some other MOCs in the masterpiece gallery during 2018. I decided to make another version using the new HD-rims which then had to be significantly bigger, haha! Hope you like it, this will be the last MOC I upload during 2019, working on making a collage so hopefuly I'll get that done by tomorrow ;) (takes a while to find a free program that can handle 40+ pics...).
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!

Contribution to Smile on Saturday, theme "animals with fur".
Icelandic horses, brothers actually, in a playful mood.
A further contribution to the master class series; this is actually a fairly large model sitting in a hairdressers window.
Taken for the Nottingham Group’s master class, full details are here - www.flickr.com/groups/nottingham/discuss/72157623597955135/
The adjustments on this one were fairly straight forward – a simple conversion to mono, tweaked by using the black and white gradient map, and a contrast boost; the final and longest task was using the clone tool to create a dark background.
Excerpt from Hamilton.ca:
This project will be a monumental bead maze. This very joyous replica serves as a monument to childlike imagination and elevates a familiar object from the everyday to the exceptional. As a child’s toy, the bead maze provides a bright and cheerful outlet for children to play as well as develop their hand-eye coordination, visual tracking and colour recognition. Guiding wooden beads around the colourful wire maze can provide hours of stimulating fun. By changing the scale and context, this ordinary object takes on new meaning. In the plaza of the new James Street North GO Station this work will present itself as a quirky navigation tool, like a visual exercise in way finding and as a sculptural metaphor for mobility and transportation. The piece is comprised of 28 multi-shaped and brightly coloured beads made from powder-coated steel that are stationed along three distinctly formed metal tubes that animate by curving, snaking, and spiraling through space. The colour and shape of the tubing is particular to this location: a grey tube, which traces the city infrastructure; a blue tube that spirals around, giving form to the open air; and a Metrolinx green tube, that snakes directly through the sculpture, evoking the maneuvering possibilities of the train within the urban landscape. A bead maze is an early childhood toy, which demonstrates the mechanics of movement, transportation, and organization, while providing an emotional response of immediate delight. By scaling this universal toy up fifteen times, this sculpture will have a direct relationship to the body of the viewer and is designed to reinforce the various ways we connect with transportation. Beads are playfully positioned along the metal tubing as if they are swooping, sliding or have been brought to a complete halt. The organization of the beads suggests a network in motion, just like the daily train service from the new James Street North GO Station. James Street North is a well-known epicentre for culture and style in Hamilton and the North End is valued as a child and family-friendly neighbourhood. This sculpture will reinforce those distinctive qualities and will serve to engage the imagination of community members, commuters, visitors, families and children. While it might reference a way finding schematic the purpose of this sculpture is not to direct you to any specific location. Instead it works to incite a more whimsical way for you to imagine moving through space. This sculpture will make a lasting contribution as a cultural landmark to the new GO Station and to this great neighbourhood.
My contribution to the Brick-Time Stories Collaborative at BW 2015. One of two Robin Hood creations for the collaboration. Eight builders, including Max Pointner, Ian Spacek, Matthew Oh, Lee Muzzy, Daniel Church, Ben Merrill, and Casey McCoy each built a scene from a children's picture book or novel. The scenes were constructed on bases made to look like books, and were arranged into a veritable library of illustrations at the expo.
This creation portrays the classic Robin Hood robbery in the forest. I had tons of fun building this creation, I experimented with a very Mark Erickson style landscaping, and Erickson brothers' trees. :) Gotta love the Ericksons! :D
To make it more artistic, I shaped the landscape that is popping out of the book in the shape of a bow.
Thanks for viewing, and don't forget to check out the other creations of the collaborative!

Kavala (Greek: Καβάλα) is a city in northern Greece, the principal seaport of eastern Macedonia and the capital of Kavala regional unit. It is situated on the Bay of Kavala, across from the island of Thasos. Kavala is located on the Egnatia motorway and is a one and a half-hour drive to Thessaloniki (160 kilometres (99 miles) west) and a forty-minute drive to Drama (37 km (23 miles) north) and Xanthi (56 km (35 miles) east). Its nickname is The cyan city (Η γαλάζια πόλη).
History
Antiquity
The city was founded at about the end of the 7th century BC by settlers from Thassos, who called it Neapolis (Νεάπολις; "new city" in Greek). It was one of the colonies that the Thassians founded along the coastline in order to take advantage of the rich gold and silver mines of the territory, especially those located in the nearby Pangaion mountain (which were eventually exploited by Phillip the Second of Macedonia).
The worship of "Parthenos", a female deity of Greek–Ionian origin, is archaeologically attested in the archaic period. At the end of the 6th century BC Neapolis claimed its independence from Thassos and cut its own silver coins with the head of Gorgo (γοργὀνειο) on the one side. At the beginning of the 5th century BC a large Ionic temple made from thassian marble replaced the archaic one. Parts of it can now be seen in the archaeological museum of Kavala.
In 411 BC, during the Peloponnesian War, Neapolis was besieged by the allied armies of the Spartans and the Thassians but remained faithful to Athens. Two Athenian honorary decrees in 410 and 407 BC rewarded Neapolis for its loyalty.
Neapolis was a town of Macedonia, located 14 km (9 mi) from the harbor of Philippi. Neapolis was a member of the Athenian League; a pillar found in Athens mentions the contribution of Neapolis to the alliance.
Roman Era
The military Roman road Via Egnatia passed through the city helped commerce to flourish. It became a Roman civitas in 168 BC, and was a base for Brutus and Cassius in 42 BC, before their defeat in the Battle of Philippi. (Appian, B.C. iv. 106; Dion Cass. xlvii. 35.). The Apostle Paul landed at Kavala on his first voyage to Europe (Acts, xvi. 11).
Byzantine Era
In the 6th century, Byzantine emperor Justinian I fortified the city in an effort to protect it from barbaric raids. In later Byzantine times the city was called Christoupolis (Χριστούπολις, "city of Christ") and belonged to the theme of Macedonia. The first mention of the new name is recorded in a taktikon of the early 9th century. The city is also mentioned in the "Life of St. Gregory of Dekapolis". In the 8th and 9th century, Bulgarian attacks forced the Byzantines to reorganize the defense of the area, giving great care to Christoupolis with fortifications and a notable garrison. In 926 the Byzantine general (strategos) Basil Klaudon reconstructed the fallen walls of the city, ("τα πριν φθαρέντα και πεπτωκότα τείχη") according to an inscription that is now in the archaeological museum of Kavala. Due to the location of Christoupolis, the city experienced an economic resurgence, securing the contact between Constantinople and Thessaloniki. During the Norman raid of Macedonia in 1185, the city was captured and burned. In 1302, the Catalans failed to capture the city. In order to prevent them from coming back, the Byzantine emperor Andronikos III Palaiologos built a new long defensive wall ("το παρά την Χριστούπολιν τείχισμα"). In the 13th century the Byzantine Greek historian George Akropolites writes that the city and the area around the city is highly populated with Bulgarians and this makes it more difficult to keep the city as a part of Bizantium.[2] In 1357 it is mentioned that the Byzantine officers and brothers Alexios and John controlled the city and its territory. Recent excavations have revealed the ruins of an early Byzantine basilica under an old Ottoman mosque in the old part of the city (Panagia peninsula). This Christian temple was used until the late Byzantine era, as the also recently revealed small cemetery around it shows. The Ottoman Turks first captured the city in 1387 and completely destroyed it in 1391, as a Mount Athos chronicle testifies.
Ottoman Era
Kavala was part of the Ottoman Empire from 1387 to 1912. In the middle of the 16th century, Ibrahim Pasha, Grand Vizier of Suleiman the Magnificent, contributed to the prosperity and growth of Kavala by the construction of an aqueduct.[3] The Ottomans also extended the Byzantine fortress on the hill of Panagia. Both landmarks are among the most recognizable symbols of the city today.
Mehmet Ali, the founder of a dynasty that ruled Egypt, was born in Kavala in 1769. His house has been preserved as a museum.
Modern Kavala
Kavala was briefly occupied by the Bulgarians during the first Balkan War in 1912, but was finally captured by Greece in 1913 during a successful landing operation by the Greek Navy that was commanded by the famous admiral Pavlos Kountouriotis. During World War I Kavala suffered from the Bulgarian military occupation with many victims among its Greek population.[citation needed] After the Greco-Turkish War of 1919–1922, the city entered a new era of prosperity because of the labour offered by the thousands of refugees that moved to the area from Asia Minor. The development was both industrial and agricultural. Kavala became greatly involved in the processing and trading of tobacco. Many buildings related to the storage and processing of tobacco from that era are preserved in the city.
During World War II and after the fall of Athens, the Nazis awarded Kavala to their Bulgarian allies in 1941, causing the city to suffer once again, but finally was liberated in 1944.
In the late 1950s Kavala expanded towards the sea by reclaiming land from the area west of the port.
In 1967, King Constantine II left Athens for Kavala in an unsuccessful attempt to launch a counter-coup against the military junta.
Etymology
In antiquity the name of the city was Neapolis. During the Middle Ages it was Christoupolis. The etymology of the modern name of the city is disputed. There are some explanations, either from the Italian cavallo (=horse), or from the Hebrew Kabbalah due to the large Jewish population of the city.
Climate
Kavala has a humid subtropical climate (Köppen climate classification "Cfa") that borders on an semi-arid climate (Köppen climate classification "BSk" or "BSh" depending on the system used) with annual average precipitation of 460 mm (18.1 in). Snowfalls are sporadic, but happen more or less every year. The humidity is always very high

The X-31 was my main contribution to the planned experimental plane collaboration for Brickfair in 2020, until the pandemic put those plans on hold. It would have been my 10th time in a row attending the convention, so I chose the X-31 for the occasion because it perfectly fit the theme & because the earlier version of this model was the first Moc I ever displayed at BFair as part of a NASA themed exhibit. Hopefully we can put that X-plane display on in the future.
The model is a complete new build and is to scale with the other minifigure scale aircraft done for the collaboration. I chose this version of the model due to being able to brick build most of the color scheme. Much like the real thing, I borrowed some ideas for the wing design from Ralph's EAP
. It also was the most challenging part of the build, in order to achieve the correct angles while also being able to house the landing gear. But, I am very happy with the result.
The vintage tea room is having its annual tea party today, but I mislaid the invitation until a few minutes ago. My contribution is therefore just a little plate of blackberries I found at the back of the larder.
My contribution for this week's theme "light"; for the Swedish photo group Fotosondag.
Gillar kastanjträd. Just nu är det deras ljusformade blommors finaste tid. Sen kommer själva kastanjerna, de taggiga, men med det ätbara inuti. Och på hösten blir de fyllda med färg, löven alltså. Men nu njuter vi av deras ljus, ett tag till i alla fall.

A few months ago ZCerberus contacted me about doing a Nocturnus collaboration. We decided to pit his Dragon Masters against my Ravens (Zugal), and this is my contribution. The overall MOC was initially inspired by the Eyrie in the Game of Thrones universe, and the architecture was inspired by Noddy's Brother's Tower.
