Fifth Element is one of the movies I’ll watch over and over again.
I’ve been working on this taxi from the movie for quite a long time and finished it today. Difficulty in getting the right parts (and learning a few things about some popular Bricklink sellers), a mishap that caused me to order a new set of stickers, plus this is a fragile model and has come apart more than once. But it’s done and as soon as I find the minifigs I bought to go with it…

La Chiesa dei Santi Vittore e Corona è presumibilmente la Chiesa più antica del territorio comunale, seppur riedificata nel 1747 sul sito di una chiesa precedente, di probabile origine romanica. La citazione più antica del luogo è ritrovabile in un diploma di Federico Barbarossa del 1159, dove “Curtem de monte alto” viene assegnata in feudo alla Chiesa di Torino. È presumibile che l’abitato antico di Montaldo sorgesse nel luogo dell’attuale cimitero e che in seguito all’edificazione del castello, le cui prime notizie si hanno a partire dalla seconda metà del Seicento, gli abitanti si siano trasferiti a ridosso dello stesso. L’attuale chiesa parrocchiale, sempre dedicata ai Santi Vittore e Corona (la qual circostanza confermerebbe che vi fu un trasferimento della funzione parrocchiale), venne elevata in attiguità al castello tra il 1723 ed il 1724 e fu consacrata nel giugno del 1774. Ad attestazione della presenza in epoca medievale della chiesa del cimitero, vi sono alcune tracce materiali. Sulle murature laterali sono infatti ritrovabili, oltre ad alcuni conci di pietra arenaria sbozzati, anche alcuni elementi che riportano decorazioni. Tra queste la maggiormente evidente, per conservazione e particolarità è il concio che riporta un bassorilievi raffigurante due oroburo, ovvero serpenti che hanno nella bocca la propria coda, intrecciati a formare due anelli, figure mitologiche che rappresentano la natura ciclica delle cose.
Literally all my time in front of my computer is spent slouching in my chair, feet on my desk and surfing!
Whenever I experiment with a camera & lens' setting, I take many test photos in my home office. Since I sit slouched here so much, my 'desk' socks have been my most convenient subject.
Irlanda - Kilkenny - Castillo
ENGLISH:
Kilkenny Castle was built in 1195 to control a fording-point of the River Nore and the junction of several routeways. It was a symbol of Norman occupation and in its original thirteenth-century condition it would have formed an important element of the defences of the town with four large circular corner towers and a massive ditch, part of which can still be seen today on the Parade.
It has been an important site since Richard de Clare, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, commonly known as Strongbow constructed the first castle, probably a wooden structure, in the 12th century. The Anglo-Normans had established a castle in 1173, possibly on the site of an earlier residence of the Mac Giolla Phádraig kings of Osraighe. Kilkenny formed part of the lordship of Leinster, which was granted to Strongbow. Strongbow’s daughter and heiress, Isabel married William Marshall in 1189. The Earl Marshall owned large estates in Ireland, England, Wales and France and managed them effectively. He appointed Geoffrey fitz Robert as seneschal of Leinster and so began a major phase of development in Kilkenny, including the construction of Kilkenny Castle and the agreement of rents and privileges with burgesses or citizens of the borough. The first stone castle on the site, was completed in 1213. This was a square-shaped castle with towers at each corner; three of these original four towers survive to this day
The property was transferred to the people of Kilkenny in 1967 and the castle and grounds are now managed by the Office of Public Works. The gardens and parkland adjoining the castle are open to the public. The Parade Tower is a conference venue. Awards and conferring ceremonies of the graduates of "Kilkenny Campus" of National University of Ireland, Maynooth have been held there since 2002.

ESPAÑOL:
El Castillo de Kilkenny está situado en la localidad homónima del Condado irlandés de Kilkenny. Esta fue la residencia de la familia Butler, antes llamada FitzWalter. Pasó a manos del Estado y fue abierto al público.
Parte de la Galería de Arte Nacional se encuentra en el lugar. En el lado que da hacia la ciudad hay jardines ornantales. Este castillo es uno de los lugares más visitados por los turistas en Irlanda.
La fundación del castillo se remonta hacia el año 1190 perteneciendo a la familia Butler desde el siglo XIV hasta 1920, fecha en que Martin Breyer lo adquirió. Las principales estancias son la biblioteca, el comedor, la habitación china y la Longa Gallery.
El castillo actual está localizado sobre un terreno elevado en la ribera del Río Nore. Esta situación estratégica fue en dónde estaba situado el castillo de los monarcas locales, la familia O'Carroll (840), O´Dunphys y Fitzpatricks, antes de la invasión normanda de Irlanda.
Richard de Clare, segundo conde de Pembroke (conocido como Strongbow) construyó la primera torre normanda en este lugar en 1172. Veinte años más tarde su yerno, William Marshal conde de Pembroke, puso la primera piedra del castillo en el mismo lugar en que estaban situadas las torres, de las cuales se conservan tres en la actualidad.
La familia Butler llegó a Irlanda con la invasión normanda, cambiando su nombre por el de Walter en 185. El castillo pasó a manos de Sir Gilbert de Bohun quien heredó el castillo y el condado de manos de su madre en 1270. En el año 1300 fue expulsado por Eduardo I de Inglaterra pero se reinstaló en 1303, conservándolo hasta su muerte en 1381.
This book was a £1 charity shop find that took my fancy. Only later did I have a proper look through it. The book is really good; every household should have a copy. There's an introduction to the basics of the periodic table and a double-page spread of the full table. Then each of the first 100 elements gets a two-page spread including an attractive photo. I couldn't get very interested in chemistry at school, so I'm not particularly knowledgeable, but I think that this is a really elegant and useful addition to the library.

Had such an enjoyable evening with my dad working the camera, using natural light only. Such special dad/daughter time I'll treasure
Seeing the potential for a nice sunset I headed up to The Cheesewring just north of Minions and for once I’d allowed myself some time to search for compositions; after I’d been there about half-an-hour and just at the pivotal moment a group of four people and a dog came in and sat right in the middle of my image!
my boy, I've made another breakthrough!
what, another one, herr doktor?
indeed! and it's huge! I've discovered a new element! I'm naming it after me, so I'll forever be in the periodic table of elements!
gee, that's exciting, herr doktor. can I see it?
see it? well, actually, no. it exists only as a computer model. not in the, you know, actual world.
oh. so maybe you should call it unrealium. know what I mean?
yes. that name is kind of. . . catchy, isn't it? ok! I'm going to contact the periodic table committee right away!
didn't they expel you for fraud last year?
oh that was nothing! a mere clerical error!
for including in your book a bunch of pop-ups of animal penises?
I told them, that was totally the publisher fault!
I think yours was in there too, wasn't it?
for comparative purposes only! my dedication to science knows no bounds!
or shame, right?
right! I mean, what?
