Seeing as Flying Scotsman is all the rage at the moment, here's my contribution. 4472 takes on coal at Marla in South Australia, just on sunrise, as it heads north towards Alice Springs on its epic journey to 'The Red Heart' - 14 August 1989.

 

We had spent a very cold and uncomfortable night sleeping in the car/ local goods shed waiting for its arrival.

My contribution to the Eurobricks Collab. The 3 shelf side table to put all the cool potion bottles on.

 

The build is modular with the shelves connected to the posts by only 1 technic pin per a post. I am proud of the engineering put into this for the lego to not sag at replica scale and still look great.

Contribution to this week's Fotosöndag - Theme: trasig - broken

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...).

Explore #430 13/08/08. Thanks all!

 

There will be many dedications today to the memory of 9/11 & this is my contribution. To all those affected by the awful events on that tragic day, our thoughts & prayers are with you & our hearts still bleed.

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!

Built in 1861-2 to a design by G.F. Bodley, the interior is quite plain, giving the stained-glass windows greater impact. The first full commission for the William Morris & Co brotherhood, there are contributions from Morris himself, Edward Burne-Jones, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Ford Madox Brown and Philip Webb. At the east end is a rounded apse.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kavala

  

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

My contribution to a massive Exo-Force tribute collab that will be displayed at Skaerbaek this weekend.

It was super fun reimagining a mech I drooled over in the catalogues back in the day! This is by far the biggest mech I’ve made yet, and I got some valuable input and advice from colleagues – especially toothdominoes and Pohaturon.

 

It features working pistons in the ankles and claw, opening cockpit, and a light brick ‘powering’ up the cannon.

 

See more images and a GIF of the claw in action on Brickbuilt.

As part of the GamerLUG Borderlands Collab, I originally built one SmileBot for Dronurary, it was in actuality a Loader, with a Smiley Face on the back.

 

Which gave Evan the idea that we should build A LOT OF HYPERION UNITS and just invade the our own display (collab-ception?)

 

My contribution consisted of:

5 Loaders of various types

4 Engineers

1 Lwt Bot

1 Hyperion skinned Outrunner

 

Dan was the only one that knew something was up :P

--

 

The LWT Bot was definitely the fav of the bunch. he's so happily derpy.

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.

Another batch for this evening’s contribution to my 100x project, taken earlier this year and largely processed using Affinity Photo on the iPaddle.

 

#87 Uninverse - A simple two-image in-camera multiple exposure of a scene on one of my local walks. The first image was taken while holding the camera upside down, and then the images were aligned in the viewfinder with the camera the right way up to create a letterbox effect.

 

#88 Seismic Chromatography - This started out as a fairly unprepossessing image like that at www.flickr.com/gp/pixelatedsky/37q4J95i9c using an in-camera multiple exposure of several ICMs of vegetation. It was a bit bland so I souped up the colours and added a rippled effect to get something totally abstract.

 

#89 Hypersonic - Another idle play which started out as an “I wonder what we can do with this filter”. For what it’s worth the image is of a clearing in a pine forest in Skiathos, Greece, but with a circular halftone pattern added at about 40% opacity and a Soft Light blend.

 

#90 Alien Stargate - This is based on #91, an image of palm leaves from an abandoned beach hut in Skiathos, but in full colour with a mirror filter added.

 

#91 Palmistry - This is a monochrome and toned rendition of some abandoned palm leaves on Skiathos, processed in Silver Efex with blue/yellow toning and lots of structure to bring out the textures.

 

Thanks for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy some of these. Happy New Year everyone, and thanks for the fun :)

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.

My contribution to the weekly theme, which is "tilt-shift"

We were supposed to go to a classical music concert this evening, but C. got caught up with work, and by the time he finished, the concert was supposed to have started for 10 minutes already. So instead, we went for a stroll along the Danube.

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.

My contribution this week to Thursday Monochrome.

 

Camera: Mamiya 645AF

Lens: Mamiya Sekor 80mm 2.8

Film: Fomapan 400

 

Have a nice day!

 

This is a beautiful photo and I love the way that the little girl is looking back at the camera whilst the woman is still walking down the path. I love the path too, the way it turns so you can see far on into the distance which gives this photo depth. This is a great winter/spring scene and a great contribution to the spring album.

My soul contribution to the RHTT groups this year sees GBRf 66 797 lead another Class 66 and its squirty train past Willesden Junction Low Level Station. Last year GBRf were rotating their new Class 69s on this Broxbourne to Broxbourne RHTT run and a lot of enthusiasts were out to get shots of them. At least 66 797 seems to be in some kind of non standard paint job making it a little more interesting. My last shot of the day as it was getting very cold and overcast.

Here is my contribution to this weeks Emulation Challenge for My Face is My Canvas. I thought for a while about this, at first I was thinking notes, then I thought about what my favorite song is now. And then I thought eccentric. David Bowie popped in my head and there was no turning back.

July 12.12 project contribution for the theme, "The Inconsistency."

Thu Sy village, Vietnam, with a history spanning nearly 200 years, is renowned for its unique "đó" traps, used to catch fish, shrimp, and other aquatic creatures.

Luong Son Bac, born 1940, dedicated his life to this craft, mastering the intricate techniques of selecting bamboo, splitting it into thin strips, and weaving them into the distinctive shapes of the "đó" traps. He would ride his bicycle, loaded with fish traps, 60km to Hanoi where he could achieve a higher price for the village. While modern fishing methods have become more prevalent, the traditional bamboo traps of Thu Sy village remain a cultural symbol and are often used for decoration or even exported. Luong Son Bac, along with other artisans in the village, plays a vital role in preserving this heritage, passing down his knowledge and skills to younger generations.

I had hoped to make a portrait of Mr. Luong on his bicycle but he had a fall recently and broke his hip and his ability to mount the bicycle. He was kind enough to welcome me into his house and show me a wall of photos that recorded some of his history and contribution to Vietnamese culture. This experience is much more memorable for me than any portrait I could have taken.

Through the creations that I build, I hope to inspire other young (or perhaps older) LEGO builders to unleash their inner creativity. We all need a positive way to express ourselves, so let's allow LEGO to be an extension of us. Your creativity belongs to you, and nobody can take that away. Build what you want to build, and how you want to build it.

This is a image from the middle falls at Gooseberry Falls State Park. Taken on a beautiful spring day, way up north.

 

As you can see there was quite a bit of spring runoff coming from the hills. This is why the water has a brownish tinge to it.
