My contribution to "There is no place like home" themed Flickr Friday. I do not live in Brno, but after 7 years of studying here, Brno is like home to me.
Brno, Czech republic.
EDIT: This photo took 9th place in "BRNO: Internetová encyklopedie dějin Brna" competition.
The above poor-quality image was actually taken in 2004, as I was arriving on an early-morning flight into Heathrow. As we turned onto finals, I was disgusted to see the layer of smog and took this image, looking east over City Airport in the foreground, the Dartford Crossing mid-right and the Thames estuary beyond. It was not a bad day in terms of pollution!
Air pollution in London passed levels in Beijing this week (end of January 2017), with popular wood-burning stoves blamed for exacerbating the problem.
On Monday, 23 January 2017, Mayor Sadiq Khan issued the highest air pollution alert in London for the first time, and said on Tuesday that the capital’s ‘filthy air’ is now a ‘health crisis.’
Readings at 3 p.m. on Monday showed that air at locations in the capital were worse than in notoriously smoggy Beijing, hitting a peak 197 micrograms per cubic metre for particulate matter on the Air Quality Index. Pollution in the Chinese city only reached 190, which is still deemed ‘unhealthy.’
Although nitrogen dioxide levels in London rose higher than China in 2014, it is believed to be the first time particulate readings have exceeded those in the Far East.
Experts at King’s College London said the recent spell of unhealthy pollution was the worst since April 2011 in the capital and was being caused by cold, calm and settled conditions combined with ‘traffic pollution and air pollution from wood burning.’
Temperatures have fallen below zero overnight over the last few days, meaning householders are burning more fuel to keep warm. “This was the largest contribution from wood burning measured during the winter so far,” said a spokesman for King’s College.
Over the past few days, many parts of the capital have recorded double the legal limits of emissions. Some schools banned children from playing outdoors, and Public Health England warned people not to exercise outside.
The Mayor said the situation was becoming so toxic to children that hundreds of schools will now be audited to see whether gates and play areas can be moved away from busy roads.
‘No idling’ zones are likely to be implemented to prevent drivers leaving their engines running while waiting for children on the school run, while the most polluting vehicles may be banned entirely from driving up to entrances.
Schools will also be encouraged to plant hedges and bushes around their sites to provide barriers to block out fumes and children will be encouraged to walk and cycle to cut down on lifts.
My contribution for Day 3's prompt...scrap a photo without journaling. I loved this pic of my middle daughter, but didn't know what to do for it, so this prompt was perfect. I never scrap without journaling so I thought this would be difficult, but the picture just spoke to me.
Back at Lelant in the afternoon after a run on Olympian 34177. That's already been posted on this site so my contribution is 32104 (LT02 ZCO), one of many buses drafted in during the last year to replace Volvo Olympians. This one still retains remnants of Norwich Red Line branding.
The contribution made by Indian Railways locomotive No. 17879 to urban air pollution could not be ignored. It was re-starting Train 386NR, the 10:55 Rewari Junction to Delhi Junction from Garhi Harsaru Junction station.

Thank you for the unprecedented volume of humanitarian aid to our country from the European Union!
This is part of my contribution to this year's Brick to the Past model, The Jacobite Risings: The Fight for Britain's Throne. To be fair this is a team effort with James Pegrum providing the landscape and me providing and setting up the armies. Simon Pickard also provided a load of troops.
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.
In 2013, a group of Wichita aviation enthusiasts & business leaders formed Doc’s Friends, a 501c3 non-profit, to manage the restoration project and help see it through to completion. Over the next 15 years, hundreds of volunteers have worked on Doc and the restoration project. Skilled workers and retirees from Boeing and Spirit AeroSystems, veterans, active duty military and others wanting to honor those who served, have spent tens of thousands of hours on Doc’s restoration. Countless individuals and organizations also made financial and in-kind contributions to keep the project going. www.b29doc.com/

I'm sorry that this has been my sole contribution to the December challenge, but there's been a lot going on in my life. My mum has been moved to a small rehab unit (not that sort of rehab!) at a hospital closer to my parents' home in Kent, and is now able to get in and out of bed, sit in a chair and walk a bit further. She is hoping to be back home with my dad before Christmas. Let's hope it's a Happy Christmas for everyone!
Our contribution for THE CHALLENGE with the theme: Castaway: The Driftwood Wicker Chair. The Chair contains 12 single sit animations. LI 9 / 3 Prims. Dimensions: 1.9 x 1.0 x 2.2 meters. The Driftwood Wicker Chair will be available on the 30th June 2015 at 22769 ~ [bauwerk] (SURL: maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Wooden%20Bay/36/124/23). The first week of release (until 6th July) the chair will be 25% discounted.
I didn't know the bird was in the picture until I got home!!!
In 1998, the Santa Cruz community proposed replacing the unsightly harbor light with a lighthouse of classic design, adding a little more character to a community renowned for its characters. Fundraising efforts began in earnest, and with the contributions of many people, including a major donation from Mr. Charles Walton of Los Gatos, enough money was raised to begin construction of the new lighthouse in 2001.

My contribution to the Kingsman collaboration that SaltyBros did for BrickFair LEGO Fan Expo 2022! I had so much fun building this contribution, based on Kingsman: The Golden Circle (the second film in the series). I spent a lot of time trying to get it detailed and textured, and accurate to the actual set's appearance. Check out all the photos!
Stay tuned for our video interview with Beyond the Brick!
More photos on my website! And check out the collab!

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. Creativity Never Ends!

My contribution to this week´s FlickrFriday theme "Bicycle".
And this was the task from last Friday: Hi Flickrverse! It's a relaxing exercise, it's a form of transportation, it's a way of living. A #Bicycle can be so fun! Feeling the wind on your face while you pedal can be one of the greatest things. So join us in the bike lane! Take your shot starting today or in the upcoming days and submit it to the group pool by next Friday, January 30th, with the hashtags #FlickrFriday and #Bicycle for a chance to be featured in Flickr Blog next Friday.
Another contribution of mine to #rollfilmweek 2018.

Attached to each infantry regiment were grenadiers; soldiers that represented the elite of the British army. Grenadiers did not wear the usual tri-corn hat of regular infantry, instead wearing a finely decorated mitre-style headpiece. While we cannot recreate the decoration, a mitre may be recreated using a headpiece found originally in Prince of Persia sets. To complete our grenadiers we have also equipped them with a satchel, which is supposed to represent the grenades they carried.

Wednesdays contribution to *Photo with a friend week*
A rather nice lunch date with a rather nice friend!
I'd like to call this. "Two regular women out to lunch". But some may say "Katie is out to lunch anyway". Ha!
Not a recent photo but I think this one sort of tells it all. Great times can be had if you just make your mind up and do them.
Dianne and I had lunch in Windsor then changed clothes for the evening and headed out to a really nice night out at Mainstream Halloween dance.
Let the good times roll as they say1
My contribution to the Throw Back Thursday theme.....my 1st ever makeover with Jamie Austin who at the time had not yet established a deal with the Glamour Boutique so was doing freelance work..this was mid 90's and I forgot just how popular the Big Hair look was. I must say that by watching Jamie, I learned so much about applying makeup (perhaps many of you girls who have had a makeover by Jamie recall his use of Anchor Lady Blue....we all looked like Smurfs before he got down to making us all look glamorous).

contribution to the fall photo collection on flickr. It has those things that fall from tress and the golden glow is due, in part, to that big yellow thing in the sky that I won't see for the next 6-7 months because that is the way it is in NNY!

My last contribution to FebRovery 2019. This was my first build using the giant tires, and I tried to incorporate as many play functions as possible. Apparently I was successful as my 8 year old brother declared it the best vehicle I’ve ever built!
Features working suspension, knob operated crane with magnetic ‘hook’, removable tool box, and large storage containers for gear.
Additional images on Brickbuilt, and see the functions in action on Youtube.

My third contribution to the Kaliphlin at Work collab over in the Guilds of Historica, and also my first entry to this year’s CCC, for the Interior category. This build was both a joy and a pain to build. Some parts of it came together very quickly, while others – well, they came together less quickly. In the end though, I’m very happy with the result. Credit for the lion mosaic goes to Colin, I pretty much just copied his design from this magnificent build.
While working in the gardens of Lord Farih’s estate, Nym heard that there was going to be a dance in the great hall. Being the curious and slightly mischievous Dwelf that he is, Nym decided it would be alright – yes, even a fine idea – to slip in and watch the dance for a while. After all, he was sure that Lord Farih had every intention of inviting him, but had just forgotten amidst all the numerous tasks that had to be done to plan a dance. And what a grand dance it was! The various noblemen and women wore their finest clothes and twirled gracefully around the hall. Nym was enjoying himself greatly when he noticed some fine chairs set by themselves under elaborate awnings. Curious as to why such grand seats would be left empty, Nym sat down on the right most chair and found it amazingly comfortable. He hardly had time to settle in before finding himself looking down the blade of a very sharp sword. Farih’s guards quickly made it clear to Nym that those chairs were not meant to be occupied by lowly gardeners, while his own charming demeanor quickly convinced the Sargent that he had no ill intentions – he was merely testing the seat’s cushions, to be sure they were proper for royalty. After assuring them he would do no further ‘testing’, they politely escorted him out of the hall. What an experience!

My contribution to The Wet Plate Collodion International Collaboration Collection "The Mask Series" organized by Shane Balkowitsch. He is providing a Czech M10 gas mask as a prop with which to shoot a wet plate (glass or metal). I chose to shoot from within it to create an image that suggested the internal bodily organ that the mask is designed to protect. This is an 8x10 tintype on black aluminum. I literally fitted the mask onto the Aero-Ektar lens and after much trial-and-error, found its sweet spot at about f/13 and 10 seconds at sundown shooting up into the trees. I flipped the image upside down to better resemble the bronchi of real lungs. See the full explanation of the "Gas Mask Challenge" and the other contributors (over 70 have committed to the project) as they trickle in at: sharoncol.balkowitsch.com/mask.htm
I'll post the shot of my camera set-up later. It was pretty crazy.
