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.

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.

City Palace, Udaipur, is a palace complex situated in the city of Udaipur, Rajasthan. It was built over a period of nearly 400 years, with contributions from several rulers of the Mewar dynasty. It's construction began in 1553, started by Maharana Udai Singh II of the Sisodia Rajput family as he shifted his capital from the erstwhile Chittor to the new found city of Udaipur.[1] The palace is located on the east bank of Lake Pichola and has several palaces built within its complex.
The City Palace in Udaipur was built in a flamboyant style and is considered the largest of its type in the state of Rajasthan. It was built atop a hill, in a fusion of the Rajasthani and Mughal architectural styles, providing a panoramic view of the city and its surroundings. Overlooking Lake Pichola, several historic monuments like the Lake Palace, Jag Mandir, Jagdish Temple, Monsoon Palace, and Neemach Mata temple, are all in the vicinity of the palace complex. Nestled within the Aravali mountain range, these landmarks are associated in popular culture with the filming of the 1983 James Bond movie Octopussy.
History
The City Palace was built concurrently with the establishment of the Udaipur city by Maharana Udai Singh II and his successor Maharanas over a period of the next 400 years.The Maharanas lived and administered their kingdom from this palace, thereby making the palace complex an important historic landmark.
The Mewar kingdom had flourished initially in Nagda (30 kilometres (19 mi) to the north of Udaipur), established in 568 AD by Guhil, the first Maharana of Mewar. In the 8th century, the capital was moved to Chittor, a hill top fort from where the Sisodias ruled for 800 years. Maharana Uday Singh II inherited the Mewar kingdom at Chittor in 1537 but by that time there were signs of losing control of the fort in wars with the Mughals. Udai Singh II, therefore, chose the site near Lake Pichola for his new kingdom as the location was well protected on all sides by forests, lakes and the Aravalli hills. He had chosen this site for his new capital, much before the sacking of Chittor by Emperor Akbar, on the advice of a hermit he had met during one of his hunting expeditions.
The earliest royal structure he built here was the Royal courtyard or 'Rai Angan', which was the beginning of the building of the City Palace complex. The court was built at the location where the hermit had advised Maharana to build his new capital.
After Udai Singh’s death in 1572, his son Maharana Pratap took the reins of power at Udaipur. However, he was defeated by the Mughal emperor Akbar at the Battle of Haldighati in 1576 and Udaipur fell under the Mughal rule. After the death of Akbar, Mewar was given back to Maharana Pratap's son and successor Amar Singh I by Jahangir. ]However, the Mughal army sent many expeditions against the Mewar empire, culminating in a peace treaty between both rulers.
But with the increasing Marathas attacks by 1761, Udaipur and the Mewar state were in dire straits and in ruins. By 1818, Maharana Bhim Singh signed a treaty with the British accepting their protection against the other empires.After the Indian independence in 1947, the Mewar Kingdom, along with other princely states of Rajasthan, merged with the democratic India, in 1949. The Mewar Kings subsequently also lost their special royal privileges and titles. The successive Maharanas, however, retained their ownership of the palaces in Udaipur and converted parts of the palace complex into heritage hotels.
My contribution to the Burtonesque photo competition. I've always loved his movies, and wanted to capture the loneliness of his characters, but in the short moments when they actually find happiness... the visual inspiration to this image came from the scene in Edward Scissorhands when Winona Ryder's character dances in the snow, just before the tragic end. The birds and cages are to make the image "me".

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.

..o chiesa dei Corallini
Cervo est l'un des villages balnéaires de Ligurie qui a su conserver le mieux les traces de son passé, et ce n'est pas un hasard s'il a été inclus dans le prestigieux club des plus beaux villages d'Italie .
Les Corallini sont les pêcheurs de corail qui ont apporté une contribution fondamentale à la construction, tant en termes de transport de matériaux que de dons.
Commencée en 1686 les travaux ne furent achevés qu'en 1734 .

Cervo is one of the seaside villages in Liguria that has best preserved the traces of its past, and it is no coincidence that it has been included in the prestigious club of the most beautiful villages in Italy.
The Corallini are the coral fishermen who made a fundamental contribution to the construction, both in terms of transporting materials and donations.
Begun in 1686, the work was not completed until 1734.

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.

Adding a few more photos from my archives. More free space needed on my computer, so lots of checking and deleting old images. If I wrote a description under other photos taken on the same outing/drive, I will add it to these five shots. Also, after posting a number of winter photos recently, I need to add some colour to my photostream.
"Waterton Lakes National Park is where three friends (Anne B, Janet and Shirley) and I went the last two days, 11 and 12 June 2018. Part of Monday was spent travelling south to Waterton Lakes National Park, stopping at several places en route, including Lundbreck Falls. With no stops, it takes roughly three hours to get there. We stayed on Monday night at the Bear Mountain Motel in Waterton town. Tuesday morning, we drove around the Waterton area, hoping to maybe see more bears, and then made our way back north, reaching Calgary late afternoon/early evening. As it was, we were so lucky to see a gorgeous Cinnamon Black Bear, at first from a great distance and then unexpectedly close. Also spotted a Black Bear in among the blackened, burned trees that were near the edge of the road. It was very difficult to see and impossible to find an open spot through which to take photos - but it was our second bear.
I had been hoping to someday get a chance to get down to Waterton, especially to see how it looked after the devastating Kenow wildfire that damaged or destroyed so much of the park in 2017. Most of the park is still closed, but the whole town site and Chief Mountain Parkway and area are open. To me, the park looked beautiful, with enough green areas to contrast with the dead trees on the mountain sides. Firefighters did such a brilliant job last year of saving the whole town, and a team of firefighters form Calgary had been given the task of doing all they could to save the historic Prince of Wales Hotel. There it still stands, untouched. One can see how close to the town and iconic Hotel the fire had come - right up to the very edge, where a sprinkler system had been set up before the fire got close.
"Built in 1926-27 during one of Waterton’s windiest and snowiest winters, the Prince of Wales Hotel is the park's most recognized landmark.
During its construction the extreme weather conditions and poor access created many problems for contractors Douglas Oland and James Scott, from Cardston, Alberta.
On December 10 1926 hurricane-force winds (estimated at 145 km/hr) blew each of the hotel's wings about 7.5 cm off their foundation. The men managed to winch the sections back in line. Three months later winds reached speeds of over 129 km/hr, again pushing the building off its foundation. This time Oland feared structural damage if they tried to pull back the now fully-framed building so he decided to leave it slightly out of plume.
The hotel is named after Edward, Prince of Wales who later became King Edward VIII, and, like its namesake, it has a colourful history. If its Douglas fir pillars could talk they would tell you a tale of American imagination and money, built with Canadian grit and patience.
Today, many people recognize the Prince of Wales as a railway hotel, but few realize it was built by the Great Northern of United States ... and not the Canadian Pacific.
In February 1993 the Historic Sites and Monuments Board approved the Prince of Wales' designation as a National Historic Site, recognizing its architectural style (rustic design tradition, with peaked roofs, gables, balconies and timber-frame interior that give it an appearance of a giant alpine chalet) and its contribution to tourism in the mountains. On July 23 1995 a commemorative plaque ceremony was held at the hotel." From Parks Canada.

Wild animals, plants and birds were seen. There were plenty of wildflowers, though I suspect we may have been just a little early for many species. I was so pleased to spot a small patch of what I thought might be Mariposa Lilies near the edge of the road that we were driving on. We stopped for me to check and, sure enough, my friends were able to see these unusual flowers for the first time. Chipmunk, Golden-mantled Ground Squirrels, Columbian Ground Squirrels and deer were seen. Not a huge variety of birds, but we were only able to look in such a limited space. It was great, though, to see two distant Sandhill Cranes and a distant Common Loon on her nest.
Apart from the most unpleasant, very strong wind all day both days, we were very lucky with the weather for our two days. No rain, thank goodness. The morning was chilly and so was the night. Yesterday, Tuesday, the temperature got up to 20C on our way home."

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.

Mitt bidrag till veckans fotosöndag/ My contribution to this week on Photosunday/Fotosöndag on the theme Stearinljus/Candle
Light a candle and let it burn
Never let hope vanish in the dark now
But it gets bright back
Light a candle for everthing you belive
For the planet we live on
Light a candle for the childern of the earth
Tänd ett ljus och låt det brinna
Låt aldrig hoppet försvinna det är mörkt nu
Men det blir ljusare igen
Tänd ett ljus för allt du tror på
För den planeten vi bor på
Tänd ett ljus för jordens barn
My contribution to the "buses in snow" theme that's taken over Flickr in the last few days: Bluestar AD Enviro400 MMC 1640 (HF66 CFL) on Bassett Green Road on 1 March 2018. What makes this more unusual is that this stretch of road is not normally served by buses - the 1 is currently being diverted due to closures on the A33. The last time a regular route served this location, it was in the opposite direction: a loop of Unilink U2 ran westbound through here until the closure of Southampton University's Bencraft halls last year.
This is part of my contribution to this year's Brick to the Past model, The Jacobite Risings: The Fight for Britain's Throne. It is a representation of Ruthven Barracks, which is in Inverness-shire. The Barracks was built by the government in an attempt to control the Highlands following the 1715 Rising. It was destroyed by the Jacobites following their defeat at the Battle of Culloden, which ended the risings.
This part of the model was a team effort. Steve Snasdell designed and built most of the first barrack block. I built the rest.
The Jacobite Risings: The Fight for Britain’s Throne is a LEGO model of a series of uprisings, rebellions and wars that occurred predominantly in Scotland, but also spread into Ireland and England, between 1689 and 1746. Following the deposition of James II of England and VII of Scotland in the Glorious Revolution, the aims of the risings were to return the Stuart monarch, and later his descendants, to the thrones of England and Scotland (and after 1707, the Kingdom of Great Britain). They take their name from Jacobus, the Latin form of James.
While conflict broke out in 1689, 1715, and 1719, the most famous rising is probably the last, that of 1745. During the “Forty-five" Charles Edward Stuart, also known as the Young Pretender or Bonnie Prince Charlie, led an army from the Scottish Highlands as far south as Derby before retreating north to be decisively defeated at the Battle of Culloden in 1746. Culloden was the last pitched battle to be fought on British soil and marked the end of any serious attempt to restore the house of Stuart to the throne.
The Jacobite Risings: The Fight for Britain’s Throne is a Brick to the Past creation built by Dan Harris, James Pegrum, Simon Pickard, Tim Goddard and Steve Snasdell. It was unveiled for the first time at the Bricktastic in July 2017 and went on display again at The Great Western Brick Show in October. It is now on display at Stirling Castle until February 2nd 2018.
Avro Vulcan XH558. The oldest complete Vulcan airplane in the world. XH558 was the first Vulcan B.Mk2 to be delivered to the RAF at RAF Waddington near Lincoln on 1st July 1960. From 1957 to 1969, during the dark days of the Cold War, the Avro Vulcan was the main British contribution to the NATO strategic nuclear deterrent. The only time the Vulcan was used in anger was during the South Atlantic Conflict in 1982. XH558 was last flown as an RAF aircraft in 1993 before being sold into private ownership and returning to the skies in 2007.

I mentioned to my good buddy here on Flickr that I had spotted a tiny Monarch Instar (I suspect 2nd stage) the other day and decided to switch gears and post something other than a sunset. I must admit the place where I took the shot is still at El. Franco Lee Park in what I call the garden of good and evil near the wetland area. Good intensions that were had when creating the garden and evil intensions for those that maintain it. I should say that it’s a lack of maintenance and poorly kept. I check it out from time to time when I go to check out the sunsets, but rarely find anything there. A late evening shot here just for a change of pace. I need to be better prepared for the unexpected. It’s the same place I capture the Broad-banded Water snake.

We are very honored to herewith let you know that your Missing Link will be part of the main section of the exhibition!
A massive wall in the central exhibition hall will present 500 of the very best entries as unique digital prints, providing full credit to you as the artist.
Buono!
A small contribution to a great nation's dilemma - and the solution seems to be as easy as the Referendum was in 2016! With some sharp editing in Fujifilm's raw converter (Japanese) and in Luminar (American); also shot using - you would not believe it - a Chinese lens! 7Artisans manual lens at approximately F 5.6. Yes, I am already going "global"!
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.

Bluebells are a hit and miss for me... I went 3 different places to try and get a sea of bluebells like some of the ones I've seen here on Flickr, but I wasn't successful. Anyway, this is my contribution for my tribute to Spring :)
Dungannon Park, in County Tyrone was the first place I tried (it's constantly raining and I didn't want to get soaked, even though I still got rained on this day LOL) and I used the flash with my Tamron 90mm macro lens, it was very windy and this was handheld, so I know it could have been sharper, but I liked the bokeh this created :)
