So recently i was at Boston Comic Con and they were selling "custom lego minifigs". They are fake but really cool so i picked some up. They can be for trade for the right figures
Hello everyone! It's that time of the year again. 2018 is coming to a close, and I thought I'd update you guys.
The biggest news I have is that, I now have an Instagram account! My username is metarix_studios.
You can follow me here: www.instagram.com/metarix_studios/
No, that doesn't mean I'll stop posting on flickr! But with the 1000 photo restriction that they are putting into place, I thought it would be nice to expand onto a new platform. I'll be posting the same stuff on both accounts, but i'll be posting more bonus content on Instagram (such as WIP, non-lego stuff). If you guys have an account make sure to follow, so you don't miss out!
I've also recetely reached 700 followers on here, so thanks a lot for those that follow me! It really does mean a lot!
In addition now is a good of a time as any to also un-shamelessness promote my youtube channel. It doesn't have to do much with lego but I post Marvel, and Doctor Who content, so if you're into that you could subscribe to me here: www.youtube.com/channel/UCikCJ2MV3tXLvBnGD6-m51w?view_as=...
I'll be posting a top 10 personal favorite photos of 2018 near the end of the year as well, so be sure to keep an eye out for that!

Description: St. George Reef is a collection of exposed rocks and covered ledges lying about eight miles northwest of Crescent City. In July of 1865, the steam sidewheeler Brother Jonathan struck the reef and went down. Of the 244 people aboard, only nineteen managed to escape in a small craft.
You will not find many photographs of this lighthouse, simply due to its location (8 mi offshore). I've taken many shots as we approached the lighthouse, and continued shooting as we circled around it, and flew back to the coast-line.
note: I've been asked a few times about a much closer view of the lighthouse. I honestly have a few that are alot closer, but for some reason I liked this one alot. I will probably add a different angle sometime in the future.

Batman would feel right at home there. The Kanne cave complex in Belgium is an ingenious maze of corridors between 2 mountains and is unique in the world. Millions years ago, the famous Mosasaurus lived here in this area. A Dinosaur that you would not like to encounter in a dark corner of the Sea during a nightmare, but this aside. Part of this cave system has half collapsed and it is strictly forbidden to stay in that part without a special guide person. It is really dangerous there.That hasn't stopped a number of mountain runners from turning it into an illegal cafe and there are also the horror stories of people who have grabbed bats in the hand and contracted rabies. Dangerous drugs that cause psychosis were also found there. You can easily get lost in the dark while the bats sometimes fly over you and the caves have the scariest crawling insects in the holes. Well, a bad trip is quite conceivable. Some young people who stayed there illegally have even conjured up ghosts and ran there for hours in sheer panic. Yes, the caves appeal to everyone's imagination. Nowadays you can get married there, drink a beer, drink mushroom soup and eat rice cake. Kanne Cave complex is also a popular filming location for film makers. For example, The Dance of the Pharaoh was shot there once and another movie Day of the Blood Moon was recorded not long ago. Well You will think what a bizarre cave complex it is. Well, it can get even crazier. For a TV program and calender 6 Dutch women were undressed at the cave for a bodypaint photoshoot. The then naked women were part of a action group against animal testing. All in all I can say that it is a very special cave side with a lot of history that is definitely worth visiting with a guide in the summer months

Batman zou zich er echt prima thuis voelen. De grotten van Kanne in België zijn ingenieuze gangenstelsels tussen 2 bergen. Echt uniek in de wereld. Hier werd decennia lang mergel gewonnen. Miljoenen jaren daar weer voor leefde hier zelfs de bekende Mosasaurus. Een Dinosaurus die je niet graag in een donker hoekje van de zee zou tegen willen komen tijdens een nachtmerrie, maar dit terzijde. Een deel van dit grottenstelsel is gedeeltelijk ingestort en het is ten strengste verboden om in dat gedeelte zonder begeleiding te vertoeven. Dat heeft een aantal berglopers er niet van weerhouden om juist daar een illegaal café in te maken. Er is ook wel eens brand gestoken door jongeren en er zijn de griezelverhalen van mensen die vleermuizen in de hand hebben gepakt en hondsdolheid hebben gekregen. Bij de ontmaskering van het café is er zelfs drugs aangetroffen die psychoses veroorzaken. Je kan er makkelijk verdwalen in het donker terwijl de vleermuizen er over je heen vliegen en er in de spelonken de engste kruipende insecten zitten. Tja een bad trip is dan best goed denkbaar. Jongeren die daar illegaal verbleven, gingen zelfs geesten opgeroepen en in pure paniek hebben ze er verdwaald urenlang rondgelopen. Ja, deze grotten spreken tot ieders verbeelding. Tegenwoordig kun je er trouwen, een biertje drinken, een rijstevlaai eten en champignonsoep drinken. Het grottencomplex is ook een populaire filmlocatie voor filmmakers. Zo is daar ooit The Dance of the Pharaoh opgenomen en is niet lang geleden een andere film opgenomen, Day of the Blood Moon. Tja, je zult denken wat een bizarre grot is dat. Nou, het kan nog gekker. Voor een tv-programma gingen 6 Nederlandse vrouwen uit de kleren in de grotten voor een bodypaint playmate kalender fotoshoot. De naakte vrouwen daar maakten deel uit van een actiegroep tegen dierproeven. Al met al kan zeker wel geconcludeerd worden dat het een heel bijzonder grottenstelsel is met veel historie die in de zomermaanden zeker de moeite waard is om met een gids te bezoeken.
Theme Description: From classic pointy shoes to a dame's dramatic widow's peak, from mountain tops to a scaly animal's structured tail, the tips or pointed ends of objects are all around us. For this theme, capture your doll in her most dramatic gown with pointy shoulders, showcase his flexibility with a pose that reaches a vertical tipping point, or zoom in on an everyday object or landscape in your doll's world with a pointed edge. Find novel or creative ways to make this ubiquitous feature a focal point of your photo. Aim, "point," and click those shutter buttons!
This photo: For this theme, I knew I wanted to focus on fashion, and "pointed" made me think of the high contrast colors of black, white, and red. I started with the outfit and found that the perfect doll to model it was a (Basics) Barbie. :)

Description: This bird is predominantly granivorous. The beak shape is efficient in crushing and sectioning seeds, but they might feed on insects occasionally. Their nest is bowl-shaped, and Sicalis flaveola are often seen usurping abandoned nests. Females lay an average of 4 eggs, which are incubated for 14 or 15 days. They like dry lands, but are often seen in urbanized areas, preferring to cling to groups. The male has a bright yellow coloring, while the female's coloring is less saturated, reaching a shade of grey. The subject portrayed in the picture is a female and was photographed in the Santa Catarina state in Brazil. Sicalis flaveola pelzeini is one of the two subspecies of saffron finch found in Brazil and belongs in the order Passeriformes, suborder Passeri, superfamily Passeroidea, family Thraupidae and subfamily Diglossinae.
According to this source (www.wikiaves.com.br/canario-da-terra), we have the following subspecies:
Sicalis flaveola brasiliensis (Gmelin, 1789) - Occurs in Brazil in the states of Maranhão, Minas Gerais, Piauí, Ceará, São Paulo, Pernambuco, Bahia, Rio de Janeiro and Espírito Santo. The Northwestern males of Sicalis flaveola brasiliensis display a stronger coloring, with a bigger reddish-orange crown. The dorso possesses a few thin stretch marks and is subtly greenish. Females are yellow and possess a reddish-orange crown, which is attenuated in comparison to the males.
Sicalis flaveola pelzelni (P. L. Sclater, 1872) - Occurs in Bolivia, East of the Andes. In Brazil, they are found in the states of Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Paraná, Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina. Males possess stretch marks on the head and dorso. The ventral region is of an attenuated yellow, especially on the neck. Females possess stretch marks on the head and dorso, but these are less attenuated than those of S. f. brasiliensis, and the under tail covert is colored equally with the ventral area.
Sicalis flaveola flaveola (Linnaeus, 1766) - Occurs in Colombia, Guianas, Venezuela and Trinidad. Has been introduced to Panama, Porto Rico and Jamaica. The crown is orangeish and the back slightly green with a few attenuated stretch marks. The inferior is an yellowish-green. They're bigger than S. f. brasiliensis.
Sicalis flaveola valida (Bangs & T. E. Penard, 1921) - Occurs in Peru and Ecuador. They're the biggest subspecies. The yellow is darker than that of S. f. flaveola and the crown is reddish. They posses greener backs than S. f. flaveola. The beak is bigger and stronger and the legs are pinkish. Males and females are similar.
Sicalis flaveola koenigi (G. Hoy, 1978) - Occurs in the Northwest of Argentina, in the regions of Salta and Jujuy. They're similar to S. f. brasiliensis, but the beak is shorter and larger.
However, according to this source, S. f. brasiliensis can also be found in the region, so I'm leaving the subspecies as doubtful: www.cobrap.org.br/especie/5/can%C3%A1rio.
Feeding type: Granivorous. May feed on insects occasionally.

The ability of people to create is one of the most special characteristics that define a human person. This magical creativity inside people has already produced countless beautiful songs, books, poems, films, TV series, theatrical performances, musicals, plays, architecture, and so on. In the same way, art is also a wonderful product of the creative process but unfortunately it doesn't always manifest itself in people in this busy time where expectations and unnecessary pressure are starting to become more normal and polarization has become a kind of sanctuary. Fortunately, artist Ian Kirk Patrick uses his creative mastermind very well to bring people together. Like many others, he was enchanted by the diversity and beauty of the city of Rotterdam and he immediately fell in love with the city. This has resulted in the fabulously beautiful mural on the Kruiskadehof in the heart of the center of this special city. It is a colorful modern work of art that represents Rotterdam and is full of authenticity. The details of the painting are one of a kind. His love for the city is clearly recognizable in the graffiti-like public street artwork and the masterpiece is therefore a feast for the eyes. Rotterdam make it happen!

Het vermogen van mensen om te creëren is een van de meest bijzondere kenmerken die er in ons schuil gaat. Deze magische creativiteit in de mens heeft al talloze mooie liedjes, foto’s, boeken, gedichten, films, tv-series, toneelstukken en musicals opgeleverd. Op dezelfde manier is kunst ook een prachtig product van het creatieve proces, maar helaas manifesteert het zich niet altijd in alle mensen in deze drukke tijd waarin verwachtingen en onnodige druk normaler beginnen te worden en polarisatie een soort van heiligdom is geworden. Gelukkig gebruikt kunstenaar Ian Kirk Patrick nog wel zijn creatieve brein heel goed en zijn thema is vaak saamhorigheid. Net als vele anderen was hij betoverd door de diversiteit en schoonheid van de stad Rotterdam en werd hij meteen smoorverliefd op de stad. Dit heeft geresulteerd in de fabelachtig mooie muurschildering op het Kruiskadehof in het hart van het centrum van deze bijzondere stad. Het is een kleurrijk modern kunstwerk dat Rotterdam vertegenwoordigt en vol authenticiteit zit. De details van het schilderij zijn uniek. Zijn liefde voor de stad is duidelijk herkenbaar in het graffiti-achtige openbare straatkunstwerk en het is dan ook een lust voor het oog. Rotterdam maak het waar!

Nullabor plain
janhawkinsau.wordpress.com/2015/03/02/the-oondiri-travell...
The Nullabor, the name has always irritated me because it is such an enigma to what you actually find. The vast ancient region was named in August 1865, while an explorer was travelling from the east across the Hampton Tablelands, along the most arid of sections. E. A. Delisser in his journal named both the Nullabor and Eucla. This was how the largest limestone karst in the world received its European name. Its meaning is found in the Latin Nullus Arbor (It seems Delisser spelt it Aus’ style) the meaning is however ‘No trees/plants’. This is a simple misconception as the vast region is not treeless.
To the tribal aboriginal people, the vast plain was known as the Oondiri, meaning a waterless plain, as surface water is not easily found across the ancient karst of limestone. This limestone karst is the largest in the world. It was formed 40 million years ago when the Australian continent broke away from Antarctica and it is also very unstable.

Description:
Messier 81 (Bode’s Galaxy) and Messier 82 (the Cigar Galaxy) are two prominent galaxies in Ursa Major, located around 11.8 million light-years away. M81 is a grand-design spiral galaxy with a supermassive black hole of approximately 70 million solar masses, while M82 is a starburst galaxy undergoing intense star formation due to past interactions with M81. These interactions, occurring around 600 million years ago, triggered supernova-driven winds in M82, shaping its chaotic structure with filaments of red hydrogen-alpha emission stretching into intergalactic space.
Both galaxies are part of the M81 Group, a cluster of about 34 galaxies with visible tidal streams of gas and stars connecting them. Surrounding this region is the Integrated Flux Nebula (IFN), a vast, faint structure of interstellar dust and gas illuminated by the combined light of the Milky Way. The IFN appears as wispy filaments in the image, they required long exposures and careful processing to reveal.
Both galaxies were imaged using two 140mm refractors in unison over the span of multiple nights.

The description of the Dogbane Leaf Beetle (DLB) in The Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Insects and Spiders—“Head and thorax bright, shiny green. Elytra often coppery, brassy, or bluish.”—hardly does the beetle justice. The DLB’s incandescence is the result of the play of light on exceedingly small, tilted plates that overlay its pigment layer. Light bounces off both the pigment and the plates, and the colors change with the angle of the observer. Life is Physics. I just thought it was pretty. Market Lake WMA, Idaho, USA, July 2023

Excerpt from historicplaces.ca:
Description of Historic Place
Built in 1860 of magnificent stone and brick, Roselawn is situated in a lovely garden setting along Port Colborne's Fielden Avenue and displays many characteristics typical of the Second Empire style. This historic three-storey dwelling has served a number of residential, social and cultural purposes and is associated with a number of Port Colborne's most prominent families.
It has been designated for its heritage value by Port Colborne By-law 2929/109/93.
Heritage Value
Spatially connected to the rest of the city by its central location on a large amount of land, Roselawn became a landmark in Lewis Carter's time and has remained one as Port Colborne grew up around it. The property has elegant gardens, period iron fencing and an interesting array of trees, all elements, which add to the overall ambience of the site.
The building is also one of numerous heritage properties owned by Lewis Carter, a wealthy man and public benefactor of prodigious generosity. Recognized as a centerpiece for Port Colborne, Roselawn has hosted many dignitaries including Premiers, Prime Ministers, Lieutenant Governors and Governors-General and continues to provide a welcoming atmosphere for social and cultural activities.
Roselawn was built in 1860 by Levi Cornwall, a local merchant and Methodist. Cornwall was a member of the first municipal council (1850) in the former Township of Humberstone. He was also one of the Building Commissioners who oversaw construction of Humberstone Township Hall in 1852.
Roselawn was sold in 1879 to Lewis Carter who added more acreage and remodelled the house to the Second Empire style, making Roselawn the centerpiece of an 84 acre farm, which at the time was located just outside the village limits of Port Colborne. The Carters were some of the earliest settlers in Port Colborne and Lewis Carter is recorded as starting Port Colborne's first store in a brick building he had built on West Street in 1850. He was a member of Humberstone Township Council and was later appointed Justice of the Peace and postmaster of the Village of Port Colborne, holding the latter two offices for over thirty years.
In 1866 Carter was among the organizers and the first chairman of a company formed in Port Colborne to begin drilling for oil. Instead of oil, gas was discovered, which by the 1880s proved to be just as beneficial economically. Roselawn may have been the first building in Port Colborne completely fitted for gas lights.
The dwelling was later home to Carter's nephew, Charles Eugene Steele, who formed Sterling Gas, which operated in and around Roselawn until 1928. It was Sterling Gas that supplied Port Colborne with gas for its first street lights. Steele was elected reeve of Port Colborne and served as Mayor in the 1927-1928 term, during which he installed the town's first sanitary sewer and paved streets.
The building's unique architecture contributes to its recognition as a distinct landmark in Port Colborne. The only Second Empire house in the city, Roselawn displays many characteristics typical of this style, including its irregular massing, asymmetrical entrance, multiple bays, belcast mansard roof, ornately bracketed eaves and dormer with ornate trim. The buff brick used on the exterior is unusual for Port Colborne. Additions that have been made since its construction, such as the sunroom, are consistent with the original materials used on the house. Notable features of the front entry are the elaborate door on the east side with six lights of etched glass and the “rose” leaded glass window in the south wall. Interior features of particular interest include the detailed woodwork, decorative plaster work, ornate glass and the fireplace.
Character-Defining Elements
Character defining elements that reflect the heritage value of Roselawn include its:
- irregular massing
- asymmetrical entrance and multiple bays
- belcast mansard roof
- ornately bracketed eaves and dormer with ornate trim
- buff brick unusual for Port Colborne
- exterior brackets on sunroom which are similar to those of original house
- elaborate main entrance door and trim
- six lights of etched glass and “rose” leaded glass window in the south hall
- woodwork of original house
- decorative plaster work in double parlour
- bevelled, stained, etched and leaded glass in the original house and additions
- fireplace in the double parlour
- tile and fixtures of bathroom on second floor
- iron fence
- tall tower with convex mansard roof, iron cresting and flag pole
- foundation made from coursed rubble with a raised square ribbon mortar joint
- gardens to the east and south of original house
- several rare trees, including: Cryptomeria (a Japanese species found rarely in Canada), Colorado Blue Spruce, Black Walnut, Copper Beech, European Linden, Gingko Biloba
After the dike rings in the Maas and Waal lands were closed (around the year 1300), waterlogging had to be dug so that the land could drain. De Oude Wetering was the first. To serve many village polders, weteringen followed its boundaries. Side and rear quays present on those boundaries were then integrated into the filling of the wetering. This is how the Oude Wetering was created.
Often the quays along the wetering were still accompanied by one or more draft locks of the adjacent polders. At Oude Wetering, the image of two parallel waterways was created, separated by a wall. There was a path on the shore, over which the dike grave led the chimney. The rampart was also used for grazing.
Length
The wetting was long to discharge as far downstream as possible to the river, where the river water level was lower. The water of the Oude Wetering flows, via other wetlands, only between Alphen and Dreumel in the Maas.
Water quality
When digging the weteringen, apart from water management, attention was paid to water quality. The rampart of the Oude Wetering near Beuningen first functioned as a rear quay for Beuningen, Ewijk and Winssen. He prevented water from the wild basin area on the south side from mixing with the drainage of the Oude Wetering. The water from the bottoms of the Teerse pants between Wijchen and Dukenburg / Hatert was ferruginous, peaty and skimpy. If that Teerse water (tar = terre, tar, dirt) had been on the field for months, it would have ruined the farmland at Beuningen, Ewijk and Winssen. The Oude Wetering rampart turned that water and made sure that the villages were not bothered by it.
Water storage
Conditions changed when the rugged basin grounds south of the Oude Wetering were reclaimed. To protect it against the Teerse water, a wall was laid along the meanwhile dug Nieuwe Wetering. A large water storage area was created between the walls along Oude and Nieuwe Wetering.
Hello! I've been only posting Lego related content on Flickr for a while now and I figured I'd share a different type of image. If you think this awesome then you should check out my instagram! I post about 5 times a week there for several reasons. 1. the community is larger 2. the layout is better for me. 3. And easier to post. If you want to consistent images from me then go check it out!

The catalogue description gives us "A woman and two men pushing and pulling a cart with a child on it along a cobblestone street, possibly in France, Rue de Riosspelk". Well you all know that we like to have a good foreign shot from time to time, what can you tell us about this cracking photo from the Dillons?
+++ UPDATE +++
Well, this was our very first photograph ever that featured a dog pulling a cart! Lovely that after all these years, we're still finding unexpected gems in our photos. derangedlemur and Niall McAuley weren't long in narrowing this “Out Foreign” Dillon family photograph to Belgium, then to Brussels. And with Sharon Corbet’s help, we found ourselves located on the Rue aux Laines.

Và cuối cùng a chỉ muốn nói với em .. Cho dù Anh không Fuck em ... thì e cũng để cho Chó nó Fuck :)... :)
To start off, no I'm not back. :(
I'm still having my health watched, and I still have psychotic amounts of schoolwork, so there's no real time to post. I had a few seconds to myself to I figured I'd toss this out there. I will attempt to post whenever I can, which, unfortunately, will be very infrequently. I've got a lot of stuff on my plate, and I don't think that I'll be able to put any major time/effort into this for a very long time; my guess is at least until next Christmas or later. :O
Sorry to disappoint, but good luck! :D

Description of Historic Place
The Victoria Park Square Heritage Conservation District is situated in the downtown area of the City of Brantford. The district encompasses Victoria Park Square and all the buildings on Market, George, Wellington and Darling Streets that front the Square. The buildings were constructed between 1861 and 1970 and are a mixture of local government facilities, churches, offices, and banks all arranged around a central park.
Heritage Value
Victoria Park Square is the visual focus of the district. The Victorian Formal Park was first landscaped in 1861 based on plans by John Turner. Turner's plans, in keeping with Upper Canada's link to Britain, were based on the configuration of the Union Jack, with four paths intersecting at the centre of the park. Victoria Park Square is a significant gathering place for local citizens. At the turn of the century, when Brantford was a well-developed industrial town and the hub of regional trade, the park was frequently used as an informal meeting place and a centre for leisure activities. The square was also intimately connected to the adjacent churches, as the congregations would linger after services or gather to enjoy church-sponsored activities.
Three buildings that John Turner designed overlook the park: St. Andrew's United Church (1859), Brant Community Church (1883), and his most significant building, the Brant County Court House (1852). The scale of the courthouse makes it the most prominent in the area, exhibiting a grandeur found throughout the square. The district also includes Brantford City Hall (1966); Brant County Registry Office (1920); Andrew Carnegie Library (1902-04); Central Presbyterian Church (1960); John Lind Building; Wyatt Purcell Building (circa 1970); Bank of Montréal (1913-14); Toronto Dominion Bank (1857-59); Canada Trust (1964-67); Canadian Foresters (1952); and Bell Canada (1949).
The Victoria Park Square Heritage Conservation District is a fine example of a traditional Town Square. The buildings form a harmonious streetscape around the park. The situation of each building around the Union Jack design of Victoria Park Square forms a rare composition and creates a sense of formality. The entrances of three of the surrounding buildings, the Andrew Carnegie Library, the Brant County Court House, and the Brantford City Hall Complex, are on the axis of the radiating Union Jack Plan. The Joseph Brant Memorial in the centre of the park creates ties to the fountain at City Hall and to the Statue of Alexander Graham Bell at the Bell Building.
Each building in the district reflects a particular period of architecture in Ontario. For example, the City Hall Complex exhibits Modernism through its free form design, simplicity, and forceful use of concrete. Other styles that are represented include Beaux Arts, Gothic Revival and Neo-Classical. The towers of the three churches in the district add to the sense of grandeur and provide a visual boundary for the square. Overall, the buildings in the square exhibit very formal and symmetrical designs.
Character-Defining Elements
Character defining elements that contribute to the heritage value of Victoria Park Square Heritage Conservation District include the:
- Union Jack design of the centrally located park
- harmonious streetscape created by the formality, grandeur, and symmetry of
the buildings
- buildings that reflect particular architectural time periods in Ontario, including Modern, Beaux Arts, Gothic Revival and Neo-Classical
- layout of the buildings on the axis of the Union Jack design
- use of statues to connect the buildings visually
An old photograph of Khartoum Tramways railcar No. 3 with trailer.
The photo reverse is initialled by the photographer and negative owner 'ADP' (A. D. Packer - David Packer).
A David Packer photo of Khartoum No. 8 is here:-
and of car No. 3 (b) here:-
🚃 Thanks to Paul Haywood for this information:-
"Fred, car 3 was one of ten double-ended motors with nine matching trailers built for the 1067mm gauge Khartoum Tramways by English Electric/Charles Roberts of Wakefield, circa 1952. They were modelled on the Coronation cars which Roberts were building for Blackpool at that time. The Khartoum tramway closed in 1962 and the cars were dismantled. They were said to be the last first generation trams ever to be exported from the UK.
It is possibly at the Omdurman tram terminus." 🚃

The California Nebula (Also known NGC 1499 or Sh2-220) is an emission nebula located in the constellation Perseus. Its name comes from its resemblance to the outline of the US State of California in long exposure photographs. It is almost 2.5° long on the sky and, because of its very low surface brightness, it is extremely difficult to observe visually. It can be observed with a Hα filter (isolates the Hα line at 656 nm) or Hβ filter (isolates the Hβ line at 486 nm) in a rich-field telescope under dark skies. It lies at a distance of about 1,000 light years from Earth. Its fluorescence is due to excitation of the Hβ line in the nebula by the nearby prodigiously energetic O7 star, Xi Persei (also known as Menkib).

Description: This composite image contains X-ray data from Chandra (green and blue) that show heated material in the center of a shell generated by a supernova explosion. Optical data from Hubble show the glowing pink rim, which is ambient gas being shocked by the blast wave from the supernova, as well as the surrounding star field. The Type Ia supernova that resulted in the creation of this remnant would have been visible from Earth some 400 years ago.

The fact that they're making Roy from arrow could mean that they'll be making Arrow figs with the new Dimensions game or even arrow sets. I wouldn't be too mad about this because a third party customizer will surly pump out an exact copy in a few months. And hey, atleast it's not The Arrow right?
SPOILERS FOR ARROW
.
.
.
.
the fact that this is Roy and not The Arrow or Diggle or Speedy probably means this is a figure that didn't make it into the set or as a pack for dimensions because he was replaced by speedy.
what do you guys think?
Comments and Critic are highly appreciated.
Description: 2014-04-12 - Making plans the night before for a milkyway session that I so yearn for, it was called off upon waking up at 2am to a heavy rain. Making my way back to bed, I made a mental note to wake up in a few hours with hope that I would get some nice sunrise instead at the Putrajaya Dam. Arriving late at location that morning to a sky that starts to "burn", I was struggling to decide on the composition that I would stayed for my time-lapse shoot. After a few minutes (and losing some of the "burning sky" moment), I decided to stay at this composition for a whole 600++ frames. Alhamdulillah the clouds formation and lights fall was one of the beautiful sunrise that I have witness. The image was one of the frames in the middle of the time-lapse session that day as the sun starts to come out of the horizon.

Description: Barnard 150 (B150, LDN1082) dark nebula is a type of interstellar cloud that is so dense that it obscures the light from the background emission or reflection nebula or that it blocks out background stars. The extinction of the light is caused by interstellar dust grains located in the coldest, densest parts of larger molecular clouds. The form of such dark clouds is very irregular as they have no clearly defined outer boundaries and sometimes take on convoluted serpentine shapes. The largest dark nebulae are visible to the naked eye, appearing as dark patches against the brighter background of the Milky Way. In the inner regions of dark nebulae important events take place, such as the formation of stars and masers.
B150 is also known as the Seahorse Nebula. With a bit of imagination the dark nebula shown in the image above roughly outlines the shape of a seahorse with its head pointing downward as it floats in a sea of stars roughly 2 degrees wide in the northern sky. (Text from www.stormeffects.com/b150_seahorse_neb.htm )

EDIT 12-9-21: The links included in the description below won't work. I'd recently noticed that Walter's account had been reduced from hundreds of photos to just thirty, and he informed me today that it's because he got hacked.
I'm sure this must be a miserable experience for Walter, and he has my sympathy. I am going to leave the links in place for the time being; if the photos are restored at some point, I will update the links.
************
This is the space station I built at Build Day at Walter's House, a Steel City LUG meetup that he hosted on November 23, 2019. I improvised it that afternoon using pieces I pulled from his storage bins.
After we were done building, we went in the basement where he has lights and backdrops for photos, and I wanted to see how my pics would come out with a fancy setup and hifalootin lights. Pretty good, considering this is a phone pic. But I really didn't expect this photo to be of interest to anybody except maybe the people who were there that day, although I did post a few pics to the LUG website.
But tonight I was once again looking through Walter's photostream, and I discovered that his own (inferior :P) photo of this build has been favorited by 26 different people. That's a bigger number than any of my photos currently has (Walter does have way more followers than I do), so I figured if people like it that much, I might as well post it here. You're welcome.
