River Riibble at Ribchester, upriver of my previously uploaded pictures. Current flooding in England Cumbria, Lancashire and Yorkshire.
Wind-sculpted textures of the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes in Death Valley National Park, where shifting sands echo the movement of water across a vast desert landscape. Side-lit by low-angle sunlight, the intricate ripple patterns and flowing contours reveal the constant, unseen forces that shape this environment over time. The interplay of light and shadow transforms the dunes into an abstract study of motion, rhythm, and impermanence. In this fleeting moment, the desert’s surface becomes a quiet record of nature’s invisible currents at work.

La catedral de Colonia (en alemán, Kölner Dom —oficialmente Hohe Domkirche St. Peter) es un templo católico de estilo gótico, comenzó a construirse en 1248 y no se terminó hasta 1880. Está situada en el centro de la ciudad de Colonia. Con sus 157 metros de altura fue el edificio más alto del mundo hasta la culminación del Monumento a Washington en 1884, de 170 metros. Es el monumento más visitado de Alemania. Es además la sede del arzobispo de Colonia y de la administración de la arquidiócesis de Colonia. Fue declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco en 1996.

Cologne Cathedral (German: Kölner Dom, officially Hohe Domkirche Sankt Petrus, English: Cathedral Church of Saint Peter) is a Catholic cathedral in Cologne, Northrhine-Westfalia, Germany. It is the seat of the Archbishop of Cologne and of the administration of the Archdiocese of Cologne. It is a renowned monument of German Catholicism and Gothic architecture and was declared a World Heritage Site in 1996. It is Germany's most visited landmark, attracting an average of 20,000 people a day, and currently the tallest twin-spired church at 157 m (515 ft) tall.
Construction of Cologne Cathedral commenced in 1248 and was halted in 1473, leaving it unfinished. Work restarted in the 19th century and was completed, to the original plan, in 1880. The cathedral is the largest Gothic church in Northern Europe and has the second-tallest spires. The towers for its two huge spires give the cathedral the largest façade of any church in the world. The choir has the largest height to width ratio, 3.6:1, of any medieval church.
Cologne's medieval builders had planned a grand structure to house the reliquary of the Three Kings and fit its role as a place of worship for the Holy Roman Emperor. Despite having been left incomplete during the medieval period, Cologne Cathedral eventually became unified as "a masterpiece of exceptional intrinsic value" and "a powerful testimony to the strength and persistence of Christian belief in medieval and modern Europe".

Moved my Collectors to here. The Novi's were originally on this closet but I don't have them on display at all anymore.
"Close friends are truly life's treasures. Sometimes they know us better than we know ourselves. With gentle honesty, they are there to guide and support us, to share our laughter and our tears. Their presence reminds us that we are never really alone." - Van Gogh.
True friendship knows no distance either. Here's an American woman who lives in LA visiting Canyonlands National Park with her English friend who currently lives in Philadelphia.
Currently the York depot is a bit short on available buses so is having to borrow the odd one or two from elsewhere. Yet another Dennis / Plaxton / Transbus Mini Pointer Dart on the fleet is the (hopefully!) temporary addition of YJ04 LXZ from Keighley with Wharfedale Links branding applied above the windows. Seen here in Piccadilly with the final Little Explorers 42 service of the day to Cawood and Selby - behind is former Keighley fleetmate 707 with the last Little Explorers 22 service of the day.
An older moc, but I am just soooo happy with that glass background that I have to share! :D
Also a question. I am currently working on a next car which will have instructions, but I can "digitize" and instructify this one too. Would you be interested?
Reptons Coaches of Little Bookham began with a single Bedford YRT / Duple Dominant coach back in 1987. Since then they have had around 55 vehicles ranging from small minibuses, single deck buses up to executive tri-axle coaches.
The current fleet consists of 6 coaches, 4 buses and a couple of heritage coaches undergoing restoration.
On my visit to their depot in late October 2020 I came across Volvo B8R / Plaxton Leopard C53FT REP694, new in 2019.
Currently on loan to Cumbernauld depot from Ferrymill Motors is this Wright Meridian bodied MAN. SJ09 GDV is seen here passing through the Glasgow Fort Shopping whilst heading for Easterhouse.
As requested. All of my current models. I have donated 2 Stueys, 1 Lee, and 1 Panzer 3 to our local museum and the Pacific Museum back home in Texas. :D I have taken apart a few models that Austin rarely played with. The SdKfz 234-4, the captured C15 transport truck, the Renault UEs, the A13 Cruiser, the Achilles, the Locust (still built but without turret), the Type 97 Chi-Ha, the M3 White Scout Car (being re-designed), the WC52 and WC56 all were taken apart for "the good of our collection." :D They all contributed to our modern military models.
LEGO modeling has become a big hobby for my son and I. It has helped me through some rough times recently. Helps get my mind off other things. I have met a lot of nice people here on FLickr and other places. Thanks to everyone who helped Austin and I along the way. :D If I left anyone out, sorry.
Just when you all thought I wasn't going through with it. I am currently tackling five completely different figures right now (not including these), so therefore as I attempt to balance how much I work on each one per day you'll have to excuse the small delay with this trio. I was never a loyal fan to the Grand Theft Auto franchise, but GTA V was the first game in many years that blew my mind with all of the fun that it's incredibly detailed open world can provide. The five years that Rockstar spends on each title totally pays off.
They'll be done sooner than later though! Michael and Trevor are already done :)
Honestly my doll head rack is finally reduced to the doll head experiments and parts I deemed too good to just chuck out since the rest of my heads finally got the bodies that suit them lol.
Also a lot of these heads already got replacements by better condition dolls so I'm really fighting myself on letting them go...
For those thinking of seeing him on his current tour:
The music was great. They played a lot of songs I didn't know. Great Jazz. I haven't followed him since CSN & CSN&Y. So I selfishly only want to hear those songs. I'm glad I went. I saw Graham Nash a few years ago he played a lot of old songs. They both like to do the political lecture crap which I wish all performers would take a pass on but that is just me. He did tell everyone to go smoke a joint during the intermission. Umm the police station is across the street! LOL
These sweet things are currently on their honeymoon so I thought I better get to it and finish all their pics! We had a fabulous afternoon together and I degree it a most excellent way of pinning down two extremely busy people a couple of days before their wedding! The outtakes are so good, shots of Stew chasing Minks, Minks eating props and Stew with his hands on Jas' butt, all comedy gold. Love you lovebirds, hope you are getting cozy together on your holiday! Mwah!
The Eastern State Penitentiary, also known as ESP, is a former American prison in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is located at 2027 Fairmount Avenue between Corinthian Avenue and North 22nd Street in the Fairmount section of the city, and was operational from 1829 until 1971. The penitentiary refined the revolutionary system of separate incarceration first pioneered at the Walnut Street Jail which emphasized principles of reform rather than punishment.
Notorious criminals such as Al Capone and bank robber Willie Sutton were held inside its innovative wagon wheel design. James Bruno (Big Joe) and several male relatives were incarcerated here between 1936-1948 for the alleged murders in the Kelayres Massacre of 1934, before they were pardoned. At its completion, the building was the largest and most expensive public structure ever erected, and quickly became a model for more than 300 prisons worldwide
The prison is currently a U.S. National Historic Landmark, which is open to the public as a museum for tours seven days a week, twelve months a year, 10 am to 5 pm.

This is my recent setup optimized for doing my research. I mainly use OS X, but I also run Windows for embedded system programming and Linux for running Simics VM. All of them are virtualized within VMWare Fusion.
In the photo, there are four screens but are actually only two Macs on the 72-inch wide desk. I found this setting to be useful because it's portable and the load can be balanced between the two. There are several other computers in my room for server and simulation purposes.
All the computers are synchronized using Unison, and controlled by a single set of keyboard and mouse using Synergy. I modified the source code of Synergy so that it supports Magic Mouse perfectly (the original version uses some deprecated APIs which doesn't support pixel-based scrolling).
Thanks to the GoodReader application on iPad, I can read all the books and papers even when I'm on the go. I need to hide the annoying iPad's white USB cable, but the iPad's power issue makes the problem a bit difficult to solve.

It is currently fairly uncommon for one of the six ex Hull E400MMCs at Lincoln depot to be outstationed at Newark, with Lincoln's 30-something strong fleet of classic body Enviro 400s generally filling the decker workings. SN66VXM (10744) has though been at Newark for the past few days and is seen here heading through Upton with the 08:45 29 from Mansfield to its temporary home. This was one of three of the E400MMCs to move from Hull last summer, following the other three which transferred towards the end of 2023.
Winds bear down on the ocean to create surface currents, seen here swirling off the coast of Florida in this NASA-created image, a still capture from a 4-minute excerpt of "Dynamic Earth: Exploring Earth's Climate Engine," a fulldome, high-resolution movie playing at planetariums around the world.
The excerpt explores the fundamental power of the sun and how its energy drives the climate on Earth, and is made up entirely of new visualizations -- created by NASA Goddard's Scientific Visualization Studio -- that illustrate NASA satellite and model data of a coronal mass ejection from the sun, Earth's magnetic fields, and winds and ocean currents circulating around our planet.
To see the full, narrated excerpt, go to: youtu.be/ujBi9Ba8hqs
These visualizations were recently accepted to be shown at the SIGGRAPH 2012 computer animation conference. To read more about this, go to:

The excerpt was also the basis for the 100th story released through the Scientific Visualization Studio's iPad app, called NASA Visualization Explorer. To see the app story in web form and to download the app, go to:
1997 Rover 100 Ascot 5-door.
1120cc.
Last MoT test expired in December 2012 (SORN).
Anglia Car Auctions, King's Lynn -
"This Rover 100 Ascot - an evolution of the Metro - has a genuine 43,525 miles on its odometer, which can be confirmed by both the service and MoT history. Just one previous registered keeper is noted on the V5C, with a lady owner from 2005 onwards. However, the vehicle was taken off the road in December 2012 and has only just been revived, with fresh petrol and a new battery fitted. There is no current MoT however. The history folder contains the V5C, 2011 MoT certificate, and a print-out of the online MoT history from 2005 up to 2011. There's also the original book pack with owner's handbook, radio instructions and service book, featuring eight stamps up to 26,284 miles in November 2006. Although we have had the Rover running and driving it is now not running due to a suspected fuel pump failure. As such it will be sold as a non runner on a no reserve basis."
No reserve. Sold for £660 including premium.
There are pretty much the only things I have built up right now. I'm reluctant to break up the M200 until I know exactly what I want to build next. I really want to attempt another sniper rifle, preferably a Remington 700, but light bley isn't the ideal colour.
Also, the M4 has undergone yet more changes! The most noticeable are the long ejection port and a new stock. I want to reduce the height of the hand guard area slightly but I can't bring myself to take it apart again just yet.
On the right-hand side you can see a green plate with some tan pieces on it; this is a MOC that I started late last year of a local building. Having never built a building based on a real-life building, progress is slow but I am determined to complete it some time this year, no matter the cost!
Well that's about it! Just lately I've been busy with college work and whatnot so I haven't really been in the building mood, but I'm sure I'll be back soon!
