The Exploration suit: Designed to sustain prolonged amounts of time on the surface world. 2 huge air tanks are on the back, and the suit features many pockets for found valuables, as well as a few "military grade" rounds strapped to one arm. A watch much like Artyom's is on the left arm. A pistol sits in a holster, in case the rifle either runs out of rounds or gets lost. A main light and a backup light is attached to the helmet as well.
Hey guys! Another Metro figure from me! This time, something non-cannon, but something that would be in the game, in an expanded universe sort of thing. TheRaconteur really inspired the color scheme for this figure. The main helmet is made of a cut up and modded Old Lego scuba suit, although this is actually one I had since I was a kid in Russia, so it is clone brand. There is a cut up and modded Si-Dan gas mask, ith a hose running out of it. The pouches are warhammer, the arms are sculpted to look like they are wrinkled, with a few other sculpted details on them (Like the pouch, watch, bullets, etc) The hands are actually Brick Affliction hands, from the Onyx guard, I believe. The legs feature cloth that has been painted over, as well as sclupted and warhammer parts. Gun is bits and pieces of materials as well as leftovers from cut up 3rd party guns. oh and Rich, I made that small dark green canteen out of styrene! =)
Hope you guys enjoy! Please leave comments and criticisms! Thanks! =)

The Al Faisaliah Tower in downtown Riyadh was the first skyscraper built in Saudi Arabia. The 60-story building with a gently curving shape has a restaurant encapsulated in the golden geodesic orb that tops the Tower. It opened in May 2000. The two hundred and sixty seven metres high Faisaliah tower, with a golden globe just below the summit, took three years to build and has been planned by its British designers to withstand Saudi Arabia's soaring summer temperatures of more than fifty degrees Celsius 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Up to fifty tons of ice are taken into the tower each night, which then melts during the day to keep the building cool.
This photo is a result of my curious exploration. The day this photo was taken had very low visibility as there was yet another dust storm happening across the region. It had nearly destroyed my hopes for any reasonable photos that day. Instead of planned photos of Kingdom Tower from Al Faisaliah Tower, I had to make a different plan. Luckily I stayed at the hotel very close to Al Faisaliah Tower so I walked around to see which high building I can get to. I started with one unfinished building close by, however it didnt give me the view point I was searching for. This shot was taken from other rather nice new hotel roof. I asked the staff at the reception if I can take photo from the roof and they somewhat agreed to it. What they didnt expect was, that I'd be climbing in my wonderful abaya (typical long arabic black dress) to very top of the roof on a small ladder. Luckily I found just enough space among water containers to put there my tripod to be able to capture the tower as well as the road with its traffic.

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. All comments and Faves are very much appreciated
Debating on if I should go into this abandoned well...is Pennywise down there and will I ever come back out?
Did you knew that Vikings were the first Europeans in Americas?
They encounter several dangers during their voyages.
A Japanese Spider Chrysanthemum, again; a different type.
The name "chrysanthemum" is derived from the Greek words chrysos (gold) and anthemon (flower)
Chrysanthemums, sometimes called mums or chrysanths, are flowering plants of the genus Chrysanthemum in the family Asteraceae.
They are native to Asia and northeastern Europe. Most species originate from East Asia and the center of diversity is in China.
Chrysanthemums were first cultivated in China as a flowering herb as far back as the 15th century BC.
The flower was brought to the Western World in the 17th century.There are about 40 valid species and countless horticultural varieties and cultivars.
For many years, chrysanthemum signifies praise and admiration. A chrysanthemum is considered as a noble flower of the Chinese noble class.
The Japanese hold this flower as the symbol of the sun.
Wishing you a day full of good light and thank you for your visit, M, (*_*)

Restai sola.
Ormai unica testimone di un’estate finita,
ingorda di raggi solari,
ne feci scorpacciate
Ero clorofilla,
piena di vita.
Ma pigramente l’autunno arrivò.
Inesorabile.
Ne avevo sentito parlare
ma ero così giovane e bella da pensare
che mai sarebbe arrivato per me.
Vidi ad una ad una le mie sorelle
staccarsi con dolcezza dai rami,
librarsi nell’aria
e con tonfi sordi adagiarsi a terra
sotto di me,
formare col tempo un fragrante tappeto,
per bambini alla ricerca del loro scricchiolìo.
Avrei preferito essere con loro.
Ma restai sola.
In attesa della mia fine
con accanto un vecchio lampione,
surrogato di luce,
ormai unico amico.
