The evolution of New Gotham.
First built in 2008 the city at that time contained a City Hall (beige building on left) and a modernist skyscraper. Flanked by the Twin Towers it also had an elevated railway, working traffic lights and a cable car. The cable car was removed later that year and a monorail added along with the Chrysler Building Spire (thanks to Sean Kenney and Spencer Rezkella for their respective designs).
In 2011 the Twin Towers were removed and the city took on a more cluttered appearance. The monorail came back as did a subway.
By 2014 the towers were back along with some of the Lego official modular sets. In 2015 a few custom structures took centre stage.
In 2016 the city was at its largest. The Twin Towers were the focal point of the skyline but the real impact was the cluster of art deco inspired buildings (my own personal favourite being the blue). The city was divided into two districts; Downtown and Midtown. Downtown was home to the micro scale skyscrapers. Midtown - the official minifig scale sets.
This version of the city was taken apart in early 2017 and the project was shelved. In July 2017 the city underwent some rebuilding. The Twin Towers were replaced with a single modernist skyscraper and the city moved from mostly microscale to minifig. The blue art deco building was also increased in height and the Chrysler Building took centre stage. An elevated railway sat in the middle of the city, as it did in 2008 and there were plans to build more by the river.
By December 2018 the city had changed again. Whilst the skyline looked more impressive with the addition of the South Tower there were fewer buildings overall. All of the buildings by the river (along with the river itself) were removed. Plans for 2019 include rebuilding the river and a better road system along with more custom buildings.

Darwin’s evolution theory is one of the widely accepted theories. It states that our ancestors are derived from early Apes and Chimpanzees. The video shows a simple and colorful illustration of the evolution of human history. It’s easy to understand and can be suggested to any kids...

R-Evolution
Marco Cochrane
Constructed of steel rod and balls and covered in stainless steel mesh, with LED lighting effects, R-Evolution is a 48 foot tall sculpture of a woman, Deja Solis, standing firmly with both feet on the ground, eyes closed, arms open at her sides, palms forward, a peaceful expression- present.
The culmination of The Bliss Project, a series of three monumental sculptures of a woman, Deja Solis, expressing her humanity, R-Evolution like Bliss Dance and Truth is Beauty, is intended to demand a change in perspective… to be a catalyst for social change. She is intended to challenge the viewer to see past the sexual charge that has developed around the female body which has been used for power and control, to the human being. We hope to inspire men and women to take action to end violence against women, making room for women’s voices, thus allowing both women and men to live fully and thrive.

"Real original, Evolution, real original. We’ve noticed that you’ve repeatedly invented structures that are analogous in form and/or function in certain organisms that were NOT present in the most recent common ancestor of those organisms.
You already used wings for the Insecta, now you want to use them for Mammalia AND Aves? Caps, gills and stalks to make mushrooms again and again? Truffles on truffles on truffles? Repeated convergences in the SAME kingdom? Mammals with fins like FISH?!?
You so crazy. "

Chassis n° BS518
Coachwork by Motto
The Siata 208S of the mid-1950s represented a milestone in automotive concept and practice, itself the amalgamation of multiple innovations. For one, the company SIATA was a longstanding tuning specialist rather than a traditional manufacturing concern. This made the Societa Italiana Auto Transformazioni Accessori a qualified disruption to the business of more established brands like Ferrari and Maserati, whose customer base and competition forays were directly threatened by the small company's remarkably engineered low-volume sports car.
Furthermore, the 208S was powered by Fiat's alloy Tipo 104 engine, an unusual two-liter 70-degree V8 that had been responsible for driving the Turinese manufacturer's premium Otto Vu Fiat sports car to competition victories across Europe. Only approximately 200 examples of this V8 engine were made, and when production ceased on the Otto Vu model at about 114 cars, most of the remaining motors were bestowed to Siata (a contractor in the Otto Vu's build process).
Sita created a giant killer in 1953 with the alloy-bodied 208S Spider equipped with a high-torque V8 mated to an advanced five-speed transmission. The open coachwork was penned by Giovanni Michelotti and built by Carrozzeria Motto, a freelance coachbuilder in Turin. The coachwork was a breathtaking evolution of the classic bracket.
Despite being produced in such a sparing quantity (Motto built just 33 Spiders along with the two prototypes by Bertone), the marvelously engineered 208S was to become a consummate force in its primary purpose : competitive road racing in the popular under two-liter class. Actor and noted enthusiast Steve McQueen even entered a Siata in the 1958 Palm Springs Road Races : he called it "my little Ferrari".
SIATA importer Downey sold this particular chassis BS518 to a Californian fireman in 1957 and the original engine was almost immediately replaced by a Chevy V8 unit. The last owner was able to find the original engine and mounted it after a full restoration of the car - due to several other big block V8's installed, the car was mechanically heavily modified.

Made during my father's childhood. As a BMW i3 hums by, a moment to reflect how tech evolution moves on. How much our perspectives change. Though some things don't seem to, like human nature and its pride, self interest, shortsightedness, ... We are currently in a global race to fabricate synthetic lives for ourselves, person-made everything, corporation and brand lead. But at heart, we're still hard-wired as human beings, and nature still exists out there. There must be a billion times the tech in any cell phone, compared to this car. Though I imagine that rolling across rural southern France before WW1 might have been more fun than any iPhone unboxing. Interesting that in areas like health science, in some aspects, we haven't move forward in the last century. Nor have our lifestyles. But each of us has some choice in what stars we follow, where our dreams lead us.

I'm in a very creative and inspired 'state' of mind at the moment, tee hee.
I really had fun with these in Studio Indigo.
LYSIANTHUS , unfurling in front of your eyes.
Originating in the West Indies, Mexico, and Central and South America, the flower is known botanically as Eustoma grandiflorum.
The common name comes from the Greek words lysis, meaning 'dissolution' and anthos, meaning 'flower'.
Colours include white, light and dark pink, lavender and deep purple. Double and single-flower varieties exist.
THANK YOU, M, (*_*)

The first time I have seen an MCV Evolution on the 516, as Buses Excetera J14 (J14 ETC, ex-AE56 MDO) runs through Ashtead for Epsom and Kiln Lane Sainsbury's.
Not the first time it's happened though - even Countryliner had the odd MCV escape onto the route (well, at least once!).
Talking of Ashtead, the long running battle of Residents vs. Tesco has now ended, with Tesco's planned store for the village being one of the ones they've recently announced they're now not going to press on with.
