PLEASE READ. The MOC that I am planning to enter in the first round of the Brick Battle Games going on over at MOCpages. As you can see it is from a Lord of the Rings build that focuses on the ork forge scene.
HOWEVER! The reason I am saying possible is because I would really love to hear any feedback at all that you guys have, so that I can modify this general idea and make this build as good as possible.
So please comment! :D Thanks for viewing everyone, and have a great day! :)
This is my entry for the June competition for "Foyer – that is the entry area to a property"
Hi, I am Dave Koch from Salt Lake City, Utah. Website: photoslc.com and you can e-mails me at images - at - photoslc.com.
This was a fun house- a HECK of a lot of work, but a great learning experience. A ton of mixed lighting made it a real challenge. But each room was more interesting than the next, so it was a lot of fun, too.
I am shooting Flamient now... but this was shot before I started doing that, so there are some things I do not like about it, and things I would do different. This is a single shot with flash and natural combined. Two flashes, one to my right filling in the downstairs, one to my left the upstairs. The right flash is probably using modifiers and probably filters (Half CTO), the left bare bulb because of the throw distance. There probably was another flash behind the stairs, I am not sure.
Shot with a Nikon D500 at ISO 400, 24mm at f/11, 1/6 a second. Processing in Lr and straightening in Ps.

The Mount Isa Underground Hospital, constructed during March/April 1942 in the grounds of the Mount Isa District Hospital, was built by off duty miners from Mount Isa Mines. The structure was designed by Dr Edward Joseph Ryan, Superintendent of the Mount Isa District Hospital. Construction work was supervised by Wally Onton, Underground Foreman at Mount Isa Mines.
The war in the Pacific reached the shores of Australia on the 19th February 1942. Darwin was bombed by aircraft operating from four aircraft carriers in the Timor Sea. Within days Timor fell to the Japanese, the Australian cruiser HMAS Perth sank during the Battle of the Java Sea, while Broome, Derby and Wyndham in Western Australia, and Port Moresby in New Guinea were all bombed by Japanese aircraft.
The threat to Mount Isa seemed very real because there appeared to be little military opposition left in the north of Australia after the devastation of Darwin and the West Australian towns. The Mount Isa Copper Mine was seen as a strategic resource of great value to the Japanese, being recognised as one of the world's major deposits of copper, lead, zinc and silver. It was believed that like the Japanese controlled tin fields and rubber plantations of Malaya, and the oil fields of Borneo, the Mount Isa Mine was probably a target for invasion forces and air attacks.
Reacting to the perceived threat, Dr Edward Ryan decided to take precautions to protect Mount Isa District Hospital from air raids. Dr Edward Ryan contacted Vic Mann, MIM Mine Superintendent, who offered the co-operation of the company and the services of Underground Foreman Wally Onton to supervise the project. The company supplied all the equipment for the work, which was done by Mount Isa miners who volunteered their time.
The drilling, blasting and mucking out was mostly done over a two-week period, with the fitting-out taking a few more weeks. The work was done during March/April 1942, during which approximately 100m of tunnel were excavated. Three parallel adits were driven into the hill face and then connected to a crosscut level to form a large underground shelter with an 'E' shaped plan. A vertical rise to the hillside above helped ventilation and was also equipped with a ladder to serve as an emergency exit. The excavation was timbered using the contemporary mining methods of the day, then equipped with furnishings and fittings to perform all the functions of a hospital. There were male, female, and maternity/children's wards, a surgical theatre and a delivery room.
The finished underground hospital was about 100m from the rear of the nearest hospital building, with access along a gravelled pathway. The three entrances were secured by locked timber gates. Inside the hospital was framed either with sets of round native timber or sawn Oregon timber, the ceiling was sawn hardwood planks and some of the walls were lined with gidyea logs. The floor was bare earth. The hospital was equipped with electric lights and a telephone. Furthermore, buckets of water and sand, stirrup pumps and shovels were present in case of an air raid.
Dr Ryan kept the shelter fully equipped and ready for use with linen, medical equipment, dressings and pharmaceutical stocks. Once a week there was an air raid drill, and nurses and orderlies wheeled less-seriously ill patients up the steep gravel path to the underground hospital.
Mount Isa never experienced air raids, and it soon became apparent that the attacks on Darwin and other northern towns were harassing raids rather than the prelude to an invasion. History shows that Japanese resources were extended to their limit and, after the battles of the Coral Sea and Midway, their naval power was destroyed. The threat of invasion disappeared as the Japanese forces were driven from New Guinea and into retreat from the Pacific.
Although air raid drills ceased, the underground hospital remained in use for less urgent purposes. The shelter was used as a dormitory by the nurses on hot nights, then like most unused spaces, it gradually became a store room of hospital equipment and files. After the war, lax security allowed young children to play in the tunnels, which still contained medical equipment and pharmaceutical supplies.
The shelter was finally closed sometime during the 1960s when rubble, excavated during the construction of the new four-storey hospital wing, was used to close the three entrances. The ventilation rise was also filled in. For approximately ten years the underground hospital remained closed until the fill at the north collapsed in 1977, and at the main entrance in 1988. Each time an entrance opened there was debate in the community regarding the future of the site. In 1992 the main entrance again collapsed and there was considerable debate about the site because of the Australia-wide interest in WWII sites during celebrations which commemorated the Battle of the Coral Sea and the 1942 threat of invasion.
The entrance was again closed, but reopened in 1994. While the entrance was again open and its future was being discussed in the media, a fire broke out in the southern tunnel at 0130AM on the 27th of August 1994. Queensland Fire Services found water was ineffective and, not knowing the layout of the interior, or the source of the fire, they waited until daylight and filled the tunnel with high expansion foam to extinguish the fire. The Mines Rescue Unit and volunteers later removed most of the burnt timber and stacked it at the main entrance.
In response to the fire, the hospital administration installed a locked trapdoor of heavy steel mesh over the collapsed entrance, and the entrance has remained open but secure against entry for the past three years. A public meeting in late 1995 showed that community support has swung strongly in favour of conserving and developing the underground hospital rather than again burying the entrance.
In 1996 a Steering Committee, representing the owners, heritage conservation organisations and corporate and community representatives, was formed to manage the future of the underground hospital. A conservation strategy, funded under the Queensland Heritage Grants Program and the Queensland National Trust, was prepared at the request of the Steering Committee. Vandals lighted a second fire on Sunday the 26th of October 1997 causing further damage to the interior.
Plans are in place for the interior of the hospital to be cleared by Green Corps (Young People for the Environment) and volunteer labour. The work will be carried out in consultation with the Cultural Heritage Branch of the Environmental Protection Agency. All artefacts will be documented, tagged and stored at the North West Queensland Museum in Mount Isa. Re-timbering of the interior will be carried out under the supervision of Mount Isa Mines engineers who will also provide some of the equipment required for the project.
Seating for educational tours and fresh timber framing was added in 2021 to support the structural integrity of the underground hospital.

For some reason, this is one of my favorite images from my Bodie series. The color, texture, splintered wood, wooden door knob and rusted hardware sort of sum up the appeal of Bodie.
Most of the buildings in the Bodie State Park ghost town have locked doors and you have to peer in the windows to see the scenes of "arrested decay". One would feel like a voyeur there, except everyone else is doing it too :)
A few of the sturdier buildings are residences for the park personnel, and the shades are drawn to keep the nosy tourists out.
A few of the interior scenes, taken thru dusty warped glass windows, are shown below:

Harbor Seals at Sandy Hook, NJ
The Harbor Seal (Phoca vitulina), also known as the Common Seal, is a true Seal found along temperate and Arctic marine coastlines of the Northern Hemisphere. The most widely distributed species of Pinniped (walruses, eared seals, and true seals), they are found in coastal waters of the northern Atlantic and Pacific oceans, the Baltic and North Seas.

Seal Watching on Sandy Hook
The following is a blog entry from naturalist Joe Reynolds:
The seals are back!
Each winter dozens of seals, mostly Atlantic Harbor Seals, arrive from their breeding areas on beaches in northern New England and Canada to tidal sandbars, rocky reefs, and remote beaches and islands in Lower New York Bay and Sandy Hook Bay.
The seals appear in the urban wilds of the New York metropolitan region, in the shadows of tall skyscrapers and near four-lane highways, to rest and feed after a busy season of raising young and molting.
But also to compensate for the limited winter habitat in ice-filled harbors and bays, and increased completion for food up north…
