The F-61 Trident Fighter from Mass Effect 3. Ever since the release trailer for ME3, I've wanted to build one of these, but I found the design was actually kind of hard to duplicate in LEGO due to the slim profile. Eventually I settled for this. In the end, it's extremely fun to swoosh around.
This is one of those models that I've had sitting around for a few months. I figured I should upload this and the Kodiak Dropship after seeing both Benny Brickster's and ktorrek's Normandy (Both are so smexy, and no, I'm not going to add a link, cause I'm lazy like that, find them yourself :P )
In all honesty I need to fix my photo setup, I've noticed a drop in the quality of my photos. Maybe I'm just getting lazy...

Shot in the Upper Antelope Canyon, AZ
During the monsoons, rainwater washes down from the basin above these canyons picking up speed and sand. Over millions of years these flash floods have eroded the hard Navajo sandstone and left behind these beautiful, smooth wavy lines.
People can't help but stop in their stride and gaze upwards at the wonder that is Antelope Canyon. The twig above the lady's head was washed into the canyon during the last flash flood.
The above pic hardly does justice to the place (and the fact that my camera boosted the ISO to 3200 doesn't help either). Hopefully my tripod stabilized long exposures will turn out better...

The lunar influence on human behavior has been termed 'The Lunar Effect' or 'The Transylvania Effect'. The influence of the full moon remains one of the most common explanations for a wide range of bizarre events from deaths to violence in a psychiatric setting.

Cheyanne being a Cult Mama - this was Cheyanne's cool concept of posing with the dolls in this way - the negative effect was one of the versions I got using the Mextures app.

The reason for the existence of Sugar Mill Gardens is complex. It is first and foremost, an historic site, where the ruins of the old sugar mill from the former Dunlawton Plantation stand. There is little to be endeared with in that, as it was once a place of slavery and drudgery, greed and a lifestyle built on the backs of others. By the same token, it was a necessary part of life and trade back in the day.
Slaves at one point joined forces with the Seminole Indians during a war between the Indians and settlers. After the second one, the Indians succeeded in burning the mill down. What is left is a shell and remnants of that attack, and a reminder to people that injustice doesn't go unpunished, and labor should be fair and paid for.
During the Civil War, troops from the Confederate army camped in the very spot you're looking at. Their leisure was short lived, and after the war, so was their way of life.
Fast forward about 80 years. The once vast Dunlawton Plantation would be only a memory, but making a profit off this land was still very much in the forefront. As Central Florida's tourism grew, small theme parks depicting the beauty of Florida began to emerge everywhere. Northerners came to see the alligator farm in St. Augustine, and the beach of Daytona was being used as a race track during the early years of NASCAR. Even the old plantation, now reduced to a mere 12 acres, was reinvented as Bongoland, named for Bongo, a baboon that was the caged mascot of the place. (Why a baboon is beyond me, as they are certainly not native to Florida!) Anyway, during this time, people would come and take a tram ride through the park, where some 25 large concrete sculptures of dinosaurs loomed large over the grounds. The ruins were still, there, and people would carve their initials into the coquina to mark their passage through the park and also the anals of time. Children (and adults) would unthinkingly climb on the dinosaurs to take snapshots of their adventures in the Sunshine State.
Bongoland was a fleeting thought in the history of this place, lasting only about four years. Larger and more interesting and more profitable places were springing up all over Florida, drawing attention away from tiny, Bongoland. No one has ever mentioned what happened to poor Bongo. He was probably another victim of the greed that caged him, probably sent to a zoo or something.
Years later, the land was given to the county, and the place was deemed historic, and therefore, worthy of a little maintenance and upkeep. Volunteer gardeners created much of what you see now, and the county, almost too late, began to protect the historic ruins, and the 5 remaining sculptures that hadn't been ravaged to their destruction. Donations are accepted, but no fee is charged to enter.
When I began to come here regularly, a cat named Tigger lived here. Tigger had lived on the premises for many years. His family had left him for the volunteers to take care of, and fortunately, there were those who loved him and fed him. When I met Tigger, I knew he needed more, and began seeing that he got it, taking donations myself from people here on Flickr, from vet care to more food, to flea prevention, but what Tigger really needed was a home. I had to fight for that a little, but I won him, and for the next four years, Tigger was my cat.
There were times when I'd see Tigger looking out the window at the bright, full moon, and I know he was remembering this place, and being the little ruler of it. He'd look at the moon, almost with longing, until I'd open a can of food and he realized he liked it much better without the hundreds of mosquito bites and fights with other cats, and going hungry because a raccoon stole his food and slopped up his water by washing the kibble in it!
Tigger passed away Christmas Eve of 2012, and it's still a little hard for me to go to this place. It's not the same without him there. So I take lots of photos and visit again in a year or two. It is both happy and sad for me to be here, but it's beauty and story, right down to a baboon and a little cat, need to be shared, so I go, and I tell it. Perhaps knowing a bit about Sugar Mill Gardens and the cause and effect of the place will make these photos feel just a little more alive and meaningful to you, too.
The Butterfly Effect is simply:
If a butterfly flaps its wings in China, would it have an effect on the weather patterns in London? The obvious answer is no. But since every action has an effect on other probabilities... The result is infinite.
Seen @ Utrecht Botanic Gardens, Holland.
You can interpret anything from this picture, but if you understand this happens because of "Deforestation" then surely you are a "Nature Lover".
Happy T-Day everyone! May you find yourselves at a welcoming table and with plenty to eat...

You've got this strange effect on me...And I like it!

This is the effect that occurs when someone is moving while taking a panorama shot with the iPhone 5.

Commentary.
This view is over the south-east corner of Loch Ewe.
A corner of the profuse sub-tropical gardens, created by Osgood Mackenzie in the 19th. Century, form the foreground.
Looking south over ten miles the distinctive peaks of Beinn Airigh Charr, 792 metres, pierce the clinging clouds in the remote, wild mountainous area known as Flowerdale Forest.
Such balmy conditions at 57 degrees North is a gratifying surprise and delight.
But for the warming effect of the ocean current, “the Gulf Stream” or “North Atlantic Drift,” these splendid coastal fringes of Wester Ross would experience the harsher sub-Arctic conditions of the North-West Highland mountains only a few miles inland.
Surprise! I bet this was totally unexpected from the wip picture. Anyways here is dinobot Scorn from the fairly recent Age of Extinction movie. (I thought the movie was the best out of the 4.) The color is fairly accurate and it gives him a rusty effect. Yea the dinobots also had a greenish tinge but I could not find good lego color to match it.
Robot mode- I had to make a few changes from the toy's design. Using the dino head for the other arm looked out of proportion and it never looked like that in the movie. So I made the head move to the back.
Dino mode- Scorn is a robotic spinosaurus. My favorite out of the 2 mode. Some proportions may be off but otherwise very good. The hardest part was getting everything fairly symmetric in this mode. The spines on his back just like the toy are a little inaccurate to how they were in the movie (they were spread out like a porcupine) I couldn't really do this because I would be tough to figure out where they individually go in robot mode and plus the real spinosaurus' spines aren't like that. Scorn is also the largest of the dinobots in the movie.
The funny thing is that Scorn was going to be the most accurate of the dinobots compared to their real life counterparts until after a few months after AOE was released when the Spinosaurus' morphology was completely revised.

The soft, curled petals of a dried rose unfold like a delicate sculpture, revealing rich golden tones with deep purple highlights. Shadows dance between the layers, emphasizing the intricate depth and elegance of the aging bloom. A study of fragility, beauty, and the passage of time.
I was doing some photo editing last night and I came across this awesome effect...this was done with the photo of the rock below.
Of course, it immediately reminded me of the song by the same name, by Led Zeppelin...a beautiful and deep song.

I had a dream, last year, that I was climbing the 'stairway to heaven' and it was similar to this, except the stairs were surrounded by beautiful white clouds...I had forgotten about that dream until I saw this.
It had been a while since I wrote a poem, so I thought I would try and put into words, what I felt, when I had my dream.
I hope you enjoy.
STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN
I had a dream in which
I was climbing up, a flight of stairs
For so long, I climbed and climbed
I didn't seem to have a care
It suddenly, dawned on me
to view, what was ahead
I didn't know where, this would end
but trusted in my God, instead
I realised I was climbing
without fear...for with certainty I knew
that an Angel held my hand
and would be there, to see me through
I never had any doubt
the 'Stairway to Heaven'...I was on
I knew it would be magical...when I arrived
and like a child, I would be free to roam
