Here is my contribution to the Time Isles collaboration at BrickCon, where me and several others all built floating islands depicting important events in world history. This build is based in Florence, Italy, where the Italian Renaissance started. I wanted to make the base half-circular and include an interior to a building, which was an interesting challenge. I think it turned out alright in the end, though I wish I had time to add furniture and more minifigures in the building. The bent bricks for the base were a pain, as they kept falling apart, but it was a really fun technique to use. The cathedral is based on the main cathedral in Florence; that's where I got inspiration for the white and sand green colorscheme which is pretty unusual. I also really like how the small gray building turned out, and I'm glad I got another chance to use that cool arch technique.
Let me know what you guys think, thanks for looking!
Here’s my contribution for Novvember. Often I go minifigure scale with my vic vipers, but was intrigued by the very sleek, angular proportions a lot of Gradius Vic Vipers have. So this year used that as the starting point for my design, rather than a cabin that could fit a minifigure. It was a very fun build and I’m pleased with how it turned out.
Thanks to Graham for the main photo edit.
[potential] contribution #1 for Macro Mondays challenge fro 25/6/18, theme: "Linear Symmetry"
One of the orchids that lives in our kitchen looking fairly happy for a change!!
Despite constantly trying to photograph flowers there are actually some that I never feel happy with. They are often the most beautiful or complex. This list actually does include orchids!!
My contribution to the "20,000 Bricks below the Sea" collab under UV light. I built a little Aquanauts outpost for mining and processing the precious energy crystals, connected to the main base via railway. But beware, the Aquasharks are after the crystals, too! The building is actually lit, but the batteries were almost dead when most of the photos were taken. ;-) The beautiful background was painted by Markus Ronge and the photo was made by Wochenender.
"20,000 Bricks below the Sea" was a collaborative LEGO Aquazone layout by the RogueBricks Community presented at SteineWAHN! in Berlin and Bricking Bavaria in Fürth.

My contribution to our photography challenge with Annie (Kissanabelle002). The scene made me think of an old song "Lean on Me" by Bill Withers.
… Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
My contribution to Light Grey Art Lab's Color Anthropology show! I based my illustration off of mummy brown, a pigment made in the 16th and 17th century from ground up cat and human mummies. Weird, right?
We honor Juneteenth by celebrating African Americans' contributions to our nation and supporting black-owned businesses. Here's to celebrating freedom today and every day!
"If there is just about anything to rejoice about, it can be my ancestors, African People who survived the atrocity and stain of slavery…I honor them these days with a guarantee that I will keep on to combat for your unexplored desires and hopes." — Viola Davis, Actress, Author, and Producer.
Raising awareness: What is Juneteenth?
Juneteenth, or Emancipation Day or Freedom Day, is an annual holiday celebrated in the United States on June 19. It commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans and the end of slavery in the United States.
The history of Juneteenth dates back to June 19, 1865, when Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and issued General Order No. 3, which declared that all slaves in Texas were free. This announcement came more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation officially abolished slavery in the Confederate states on January 1, 1863. However, due to the minimal presence of Union troops in Texas, the proclamation was not effectively enforced until General Granger's arrival.
Juneteenth celebrations typically involve various activities, including parades, picnics, cookouts, family gatherings, music, dancing, and educational events. It is a time for African Americans and others to reflect on their ancestors' struggles and achievements and celebrate freedom and equal rights.
In recent years, there has been a growing movement to recognize Juneteenth as a national holiday in the United States. On June 17, 2021, it was officially declared a federal holiday when President Joe Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law. This designation makes Juneteenth the 12th federal holiday and the first new one to be added since Martin Luther King Jr. Day in 1983.
The recognition of Juneteenth as a federal holiday is seen as an essential step in acknowledging the historical significance of emancipation and the ongoing struggle for racial equality in the United States. It provides an opportunity for all Americans to learn about and honor the contributions of African Americans to the nation's history and culture.

Otto Wagner, the pioneering architect of Vienna's Art Nouveau era, was the designer in charge of the construction of Stadtbahn, a rail service running underground in some sections, as an elevated system in others, around 1900.
He considered the project an important contribution to the appearance of the city and paid as much attention to the large structural elements, such as bridges and station buildings, as to the small details, such as railings, lamps, signs and inscriptions, realizing a total design concept in the construction.
The Stadtbahn lines were laid out to connect the main railroad terminals in the city and to improve Vienna's position as the capital of the empire. As a connecting system among the railroads, the lines were peripheral; important radial lines never went beyond the planning stages.

My second and last contribution for this year’s Febrovery. Once again taking inspiration from an old space theme, this time Spyrius. I built a surveillance rover on patrol near a power generator. The dish folds down neatly into the rear and the cabin seats two minifigures.
See other images on Brickbuilt.
Thanks for the tag Michaela (summersun) and Marcela (Marcela Gorga). I quickly did the redress that I have been waiting for since end of Jan (my gift set arrived only yesterday) - and contribute this to celebrate the date. For semantics' sake I just had to replace "Women" by "Ladies".... so, give me an "L" for LOVELY.
Elena (Dream Teen Poppy) demonstrates how to be lovely....

My contribution to the Saphos Trip from Bridgnorth to Bristol and return . Work commitments precluded the best of the daylight but a Scot on my home patch couldn't be missed . A stop at Dorridge I'd hoped would mean a slower start however running some 15 minutes down I hadn't quite factored in some assistance from the rear . Needless to say on a still evening the distinctive sound of the engine working was a joy to listen too and the theatre as she came across Bentley Heath crossing was worth the short trip out
My contribution to this year's Thanksgiving feast. Injected with apple juice. Coated with olive oil and rubbed with sage, crushed thyme and Hardcore Carnivore Black seasoning. Seared on the Masterbuilt 1050 at 475 degrees to make a good bark and hold in the juices. Backed the smoker down to 265 and placed on the top rack until 160 degrees internal. I almost always use postoak for smoke. Drizzled with roasted raspberry and chipotle glaze. Had a great bark and smokering. Tender and juicy inside.
Earth Day - 22nd April 2009! my contribution
The Himba are an ethnic group of about 20,000 to 50,000 people living in northern Namibia, in the Kunene region (formerly Kaokoland). They are a nomadic, pastoral people, closely related to the Herero, and speak the same language.
The Himba wear little clothing, but the women are famous for covering themselves with a mixture of butter fat, ochre, and herbs to protect themselves from the sun. The mixture gives their skins a reddish tinge. The mixture symbolizes earth's rich red color and the blood that symbolizes life, and is consistent with the Himba ideal of beauty. Women braid each other's hair and cover it in their ochre mixture (called otjize in their langauge).

No one leaves home unless home is the mouth of a shark.

So often the world sits idly by, watching ethnic conflicts flare up, as if these were mere entertainment rather than human beings whose lives are being destroyed. Shouldn’t the existence of even one single refugee be a cause for alarm throughout the world?
Urkhan Alakbarov
In the midst of migrants in search of a better life there are people in need of protection: refugees and asylum-seekers, women and children victims of trafficking…Many move simply to avoid dying of hunger. When leaving is not an option but a necessity, this is more than poverty.
Antonio Guterres
A lasting solution, the possibility to begin a new life, is the only dignified solution for the refugee himself.
Poul Hartling
Environmental degradation, overpopulation, refugees, narcotics, terrorism, world crime movements, and organized crime are worldwide problems that don’t stop at a nation’s borders.
Warren Christopher
I urge you to celebrate the extraordinary courage and contributions of refugees past and present.

I'll close this week's contributions to Roll Film Week with a salute to the man who actually took the photos: my dad. Here he is with two of my sisters at Rockaway Beach in the New York borough of Queens, in the early 1950s.
Like the other photos I've posted this week, he shot this using his Kodak 3A "pocket" camera, which created huge (3.25 by 5.5 inch) negatives.
I'm guessing this is a self-timer selfie because of the low angle—it looks like he set the camera on the sand (or a beach towel!). Also, he's a little blurry, which says to me he sprinted into position after setting a self timer.
This photo also beautifully illustrates the wonderfully soft depth of field that the camera's huge film format and Schneider lens produced.
It's been fun sharing these treasures, which are part of an archive that I've been assembling for the last three years—currently at 2300 scans and growing.
Posted for Roll Film Week, Day 5. Previous posts: My previous posts for the week: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

This is my contribution to the unnatural theme for the week. It harks back to the first week of the project, where in some misguided bout of 365 optimism I decided to make a little pile of stones and stick it in every photograph. I can't think why....
I am going to set off to collect Eleanor now and she'll be here for 5 days. So, if I was bad a commenting before (I was), I will be even worse now!

My contribution to Comic Bricks! I should point out that the cover you're looking at is actually the back cover of Roots of the Swamp Thing number 3, which in 1986 reprinted the classic Len Wein/Berni Wrightson Swamp Thing stories from the seventies. The renewed interest was thanks to Alan Moore, who was busy writing Saga of the Swamp Thing and blowing everyone's mind.

Kungsträdgårdens tunnelbanestation. Inte bara en plats för blå tunnelbanor och mönstrade perronger. Här finns grekiska gudar, guldkryss och ett stenstaket också. Och en massa andra saker. Kul ställe, helt enkelt. :)
I tacked on a visit to the beautiful Bok Tower Gardens in Lake Wales after my visit to Lake Kissimmee State Park. This was a beautiful spot and I am so glad that I stopped there. There was a thunderstorm that passed through during my visit, but it was spectacular. From their site: "Located atop Iron Mountain, the highest point on the Lake Wales Ridge, is an impressive destination for birders, botanists and butterfly enthusiasts alike. Bok Tower Gardens is a National Historic Landmark and is famous for its cultivated gardens designed by Frederick Law Olmstead, Jr. However, the site also includes the Pine Ridge Nature Preserve, a 100-acre sandhill ecosystem comprised of longleaf pines and turkey oaks. Walk the trail through this preserve for Gopher Tortoise and birds like American Kestrel, Common Nighthawk, Pileated Woodpecker, Loggerhead Shrike and Bachman’s Sparrow. Check the cultivated gardens for butterflies and hummingbirds in spring and summer, as well as migratory songbirds during September and October, and again in April. Bok Tower Gardens has made significant contributions to the conservation of rare plants on the Lake Wales Ridge and offers excellent educational opportunities about the Ridge’s endangered upland habitats and their bird inhabitants. Birding field trips are offered as well, so call in advance for details and reservations for your group. Non-birding companions will appreciate the 205-foot neo-Gothic/art deco Singing Tower carillon, the gardens, art exhibits and special events." I visited on the morning of Friday July 7th, 2023 during my visit to Florida.
My contribution to the Cardboard Shelter exhibition. Decided to make a mini-version of those things you get at the seaside where you put your head through the hole and have your photo taken. Normally while pulling an inappropriate face.
This piece will be for sale at the exhibition for £40 alongside a fine array of other cardboard artworks. All the money goes to a good cause so go snap up something nice for your wall.

My contribution to the BTL group theme of transportation. sorry I have nothing new but didn't like the attempts I made earlier today of the kid's scooter. This is about 1/2 mile from my work. Every day I'm tempted to just "go west young man"
When primate keepers at the orangutan and siamang habitat arrived for work on November 12, 2018, they didn’t know that by day’s end, they would have one more charge in their care.
The Zoo’s siamangs Unkie and Eloise (Ellie for short) had previously made a significant contribution to the population in managed care of this endangered species: they had successfully raised five female offspring over the years. With Ellie on contraception, their reproductive years had come to a close.
Or so the animal care staff thought. Contraception is not 100 percent assured, and that day, Ellie was quietly and calmly cradling a new infant. And not just any infant, but the smallest siamang the keepers had ever seen. Keepers kept a close eye on Ellie and the newborn in the warmth and humidity of the siamang bedrooms. “Usually, a siamang infant can cling to its mom within a day or two, and can find a nipple on its own. But this infant wasn’t as strong as she should have been,” says Tanya Howard, senior keeper. Fortunately, because she was an experienced and capable mother, “Ellie positioned the baby on her nipple,” says Julie Krajewski, senior keeper. “She is an excellent mom. That’s something a first-time mom might not do.”

The "Piazza del Vento" derives from Renzo Piano's inspiration, as a contribution that he offered to Salone Nautico and the city of Genova. The author of the project is the architectural firm OBR run by Paolo Brescia and Tommaso Principi, who conceived it for the 57° edition of the Genoa Boat Show.
The project, strongly wanted by Ucina Confindustria Nautica with Spim support, represents the legacy of Salone Nautico to the city: "a collective and multisensorial installation designed for a temporary event turning into a permanent public artwork, where to celebrate the rite of urbanity on the sea, thus enhancing the strong link between Salone Nautico and Genova", as Paolo Brescia explained.
OBR designed a "field" of 57 masts in red maple wood and white steel, 12 meters tali and bound together with textile stay-cables with dacron jibs inferred ono On the top of each mast a windex is placed,.sewing coloured spinnaker's fabric highlighting the direction and the intensity of the wind. Among the masts, some double seat swings are placed, where to sit as couple in the shade of the sails while looking toward the sea.
Cooperating with the musician Roberto Pugliese, Margherita Del Grosso and Matteo Orlandi have created the sound field activated by the action of the wind: a system of brass rods of different length, arranged according to a precise spatial scheme among the masts, reflects the sounds of the mare nostrum with chords trom a Mediterranean musical scale "played" by the wind.
The installation also involves the poet and street artist Ivan Tresoldi, who performs with his group Artkademy together with the visitors of Salone Nautico creating the anamorphosis: "Who throws seeds in the wind will make the sky flourish".
-----------------------------------------------------------
La "Piazza del Vento" nasce da un'ispirazione di Renzo Piano, come contributo offerto al Salone Nautico e alla città di Genova. Autore del progetto è lo studio d'architettura OBR di Paolo Brescia e Tommaso Principi, che lo ha ideato per la 57° edizione del Salone Nautico di Genova.
L'intervento, fortemente voluto da Ucina Confindustria Nautica con il supporto di Spim, rappresenta l'eredità del Salone alla città: "un'installazione multisensoriale collettiva nata per un evento temporaneo che diventa un'opera pubblica permanente, in cui celebrare il rito dell'urbanità sul mare, sancendo' così il legame indissolubile tra il Salone Nautico e Genova", come ha spiegato Paolo Brescia.
OBR ha immaginato un "campo" di 57 alberi in legno di acero rosso e acciaio bianco alti 12 metri e strallati tra loro con sartie in tessile su cui sono inferiti dei fiocchi in dacron. Sulla sommità degli alberi sono installati dei segnavento cuciti con tessuti di spinnaker colorati che
danno evidenza della direzione e dell'intensità del vento. Tra alcuni alberi sono ricavate delle altalene doppie da utilizzare in coppia, all'ombra delle vele e con vista mare.
Collaborando con il musicista Roberto Pugliese, Margherita Del Grosso e Matteo Orlandi hanno ideato un campo sonoro attivato dall'azione del vento: un sistema di canne d'ottone di diversa lunghezza, disposte secondo un preciso schema spaziale tra gli alberi, restituisce le sonorità del mare nostrum con degli accordi secondo una scala musicale mediterranea "suonata" dal vento.
L'installazione vede anche il coinvolgimento del poeta e artista di strada Ivan Tresoldi che, con il suo gruppo Artkademy, realizza una performance con il pubblico del Salone Nautico creando l'anamorfosi: "Chi getta semi al vento farà fiorire il cielo".

My contribution to National Volunteer Week.
In September 2002 I met Richard Maurer at the Western Railway Museum. He took me and my brother around the barns, even into off-limits areas. After that we took a spin out on the line where I shot his portrait in his motorman attire.
I was working on a story about preserved trolley operations in California so we agreed to meet again at San José two weeks later where he gladly sorted the yellow Birney Safety Car out of the barn. He even let me operate it on the museum tracks. A true volunteer at heart.
