Remains of the Ventonwyn Mine near Hewas Water.
It appears the mine fell into disuse in 1907, and the engine house suffered damage in the 1990s after a lightning strike. It obviously doesn't stop the local Crows using it as a good vantage point though.
Yes, this took me forever to photograph due to a broken camera. Still crappy pictures because I had to use my phone camera.

Engine room of a 100+ year steam ship
On Oct. 9, this 111 year old freight ship, last known as the JB Ford, was towed from Connor's point in Superior, WI across the harbor to it's final resting place at the scrapyard that will soon be dismantling it and selling off it's steel. The long effort to save this greatly historic steam ship finally failed when the cost of dealing with the asbestos insulation was realized. Restoring and converting the ship into a museum was said to cost $2-3 million, yet only $50,000 in donations and $500,000 from the current owner had been put up to save it.
This ship served under it's own power for 81 years, hauled raw materials during both World Wars, survived two historic storms, and later on hauled cement that went into creating the US interstate system.

I've started working on a part of a layout for LEGO World 2015 in Utrecht, The Netherlands.
The dock is expanding with the addition of this steam engine, workshop and kettle. Still trying to figure out how to build a nice chimney though.
This is an extensive modification of the LEGO Kessel Run Millennium Falcon (Set 75212).
Exterior modifications include:
- a vast reduction of the gaps between the roof panels
- cockpit and tunnel were shifted an inch aft
- the roof of the tunnel raised higher
- the central superstructure between the bow (of the escape pod) and the dorsal turret was redesigned to have a straight incline
- escape pod is a MOC featuring the port headlight, the aft-access door, new set of engines and blue accents, and the roof angle was changed
- window hatches installed on both the dorsal and ventral gun-turrets
- improved the shapes of the docking rings
- the mandibles were widened
- the blue accents were moved/redesigned to be more movie-accurate
- the rectenna dish's attachment point was lowered and its ball-joint was removed
- the forward landing gear was added and all landing gears were made taller
The MODs were developed by me except for two of them, which were based on other builders' works: the gap-reduction MOD was inspired by "Alternate Bricks"'s wonderful solution (as seen on YouTube) and the awesome docking-bay ring shape was created by "ggwho", who posted his/her MOD on Lego.com. Thanks to both of them for their work! And thanks to LEGO for offering a wonderful set and its mini-figs.

Decimators are hellish creations - horrific amalgams of human and Xenos technology fused and brought to unholy life by the darkest warp sorcery. Recorded in the forces of the Great Enemy as long ago as the mass genocides known in Imperial Lore as the "Grief of Herodin in late M35, they have fortunately been rarely encountered, save within the damned cults and daemon fleets that plague the benighted reaches of the far to the Galactic South of theSegmentum Tempestus. Here in the dark void beyond the borders of the Imperium, some unknown source, it is believed, barters these dread killing machines for a high price in blood, plunder and souls. This has led some within the Ordo Malleus to label them the work of the infamous Dark Magos of the Silent Forge known as the , which legend has it was driven to the rifts beyond the during the Great Scouring, while others insist that the cult never existed at all except in the myths of the forgotten age
Been a while since my last update, life does have a habit of getting in the way. I decided to continue to expand my ever growing chaos marine force with a Forgeworld Decimator engine, I painted him BL of course and added a couple of embellishments in the form of some trophy skulls and a "loincloth" banner, hope you like him.

The Holden VC Commodore is an automobile that was produced in Australia by the General Motors division, Holden between 30 March 1980 and October 1981. The VC Commodore was succeeded by the Holden VH Commodore, and is distinguished by its 'egg-crate' style grille. The VC series brought many improvements over the VB Commodore and maintained the Commodore's place as the best selling car in Australia.
The improvements included revised suspension to improve ride and handling, a few cosmetic changes and the availability of new options such as cruise control.
However, one of the biggest changes were a series of engine upgrades which included redesigned cylinder heads, now with a single intake and exhaust port for every cylinder, improved intake/exhaust manifolds, new camshafts and pistons and an all-new carburettor called the Rochester Varajet, as well as the fitment of electronic ignition. In total, these upgrades brought up to 25% more power and 15% better fuel efficiency. The engine block on these motors were painted a blue colour (as opposed to the previous red) and were known as the XT5 versions, although are commonly referred to as the 'Blue' motors.
As well as changes to the existing engines, a new 1.9 litre 4-cylinder engine was introduced. Known as the 'Starfire Four,' the new engine was the 2.85 litre (173 ci) blue six-cylinder engine with two cylinders removed. Also used in the Holden Sunbird, this engine was fitted to the Commodore in response to increasing pressure from the 1979 oil crisis. This new engine was not a complete success however, as its lack of power meant the engine needed to be pushed hard to deliver acceptable performance, negating any fuel saving benefits.
The engines used in this generation were Holden's own, and were not shared with the equivalent Opel Rekord or Vauxhall Carlton.
A new spec level was added to the range: the L. Thus the Commodore lineup was L, SL and SL/E. Transmission choices remained the same as the VB Commodore. A total of 121,807 VC Commodores were produced.
With the discontinuation of the Holden HZ models in 1980, the Commodore was complemented by a range of Holden WB commercial vehicles and the Statesman WB luxury models. All of these also utilised the "Blue" motors.
HDT VC Commodore:
In late 1979 Holden pulled out of touring car racing after two years of domination by the Holden LX Torana A9X SS Hatchback. In 1980, this led to Peter Brock buying the Holden Dealer Team (HDT), though without Holden funding was needed to continue racing and development. This led to the creation of a modified VC Commodore, tuned and styled under the direction of Peter Brock who established HDT Special Vehicles, not only to produce 'hotted up' versions of the Commodore but as a way of funding the race team. The result was a luxury-performance version of the VC Commodore, to be sold through select Holden dealers throughout Australia. The HDT VC Commodore was powered by an HDT tuned 5 litre V8 engine, producing 160 kW at 4500rpm. The HDT VC Commodore was a limited edition vehicle, with exactly 500 production models produced. These only sold with a choice of three colours (Palais White, Firethorn Red or Tuxedo Black) to pay homage to Marlboro, HDT's main sponsor at the time.

The Beechcraft AT-11 Kansan, a World War II-era military trainer aircraft, played a crucial role in training Allied pilots. Derived from the Beech 18, it featured a twin-engine design and was utilized for navigation, bombing, and gunnery exercises. The Kansan's versatility contributed significantly to pilot preparation during the war.
