The "Fire and Ice" Hilux no doubt demonstrated that it is capable to withstand everything that paople and nature could possibly throw at it.

A few edits from our trip to Iceland in 2019. At the time I didn't feel like these photos were good enough... I now just want to share this beautiful country with people, regardless if the photos are "good" or not.
Making their new-location debut in the conservatory’s Ballroom are the beloved children’s Christmas trees. Joining the ‘center-stage’ grand Ballroom tree with its white and red ‘Fire and Ice’ ornaments, eight 12-foot Fraser fir trees showcase hundreds of ice-inspired winter wonderland creations handmade by students from nine local schools.
In 1929, Pierre du Pont built the Ballroom to house a new organ and to better insulate the organ pipes from temperature changes. The organ was designed by the Longwood staff organist, and built by the Aeolian Company, founded in 1878 in New York City. Aeolian’s customers read like a Who’s Who of America: Carnegie, Ford, Mellon, Rockefeller, Tiffany, Vanderbilt and of course, du Pont. The original cost of the custom-built organ was $122,700, equivalent to $1.8 million today. However, replicating the Longwood Organ today would cost roughly $11 million.
The Longwood Organ is a symphonic instrument, and was designed to play transcriptions of orchestral music. This was a popular form of entertainment in the early twentieth century. The organ is composed of 10,010 pipes divided into 146 ranks, making it one of the largest Aeolian organs ever constructed. The tallest pipe is 32 feet tall, and made of Sugar Pine, the tallest pine trees in the world. The largest pipe creates a very low sound of 16 hertz, creating an earthquake sensation. It has undergone a rebuild and restorations, most recently in 2011. International Competitions, Concerts and Sing-Alongs are popular, and held regularly, though currently virtual due to the pandemic.

Okay, so obviously I'm no model. It was just a dreary cold and rainy day, so I was playing with some colored gels and the Einsteins in the studio. The background is the locker room of an abandoned factory that I shot months before the portrait. The portrait was shot on a gray background. Two Einsteins with blue gels (one camera right and low, one camera left and high), and a 580exII in an EZBox soft box with a full CTO gel (camera left and high). Pocket wizards on everything.

A cake for the opening of the very first west coast exhibit for the internationally renowned and brilliant artist, Ray Caesar. Beautiful work, stunning patrons and a packed house. It was my absolute honor.
May you descend lightly into an abyss of sugar,

Some random shots in the Conservatory, spaces not seen in the other slideshows. These other gardens in the renovation-shortened ‘Christmas Route’ include the Orangery, the Silver Garden, and the Acacia Passage. The south side of the conservatory gives glimpses of the construction in-progress outside the windows.
In keeping with the ‘Fire and Ice’ theme, the Orangery features red-hot poinsettias and a snowy grove of white birch trees. In the Silver Garden, a “frozen” succulent fountain complements a tree decorated in a snowy mix of opalescent whites and cheery blues and royal purples. A flurry of cool icicle-like lights and snow-white blooms mingle with the delicate greens in the Acacia Passage, which is situated next to the Silver Garden and loops back to the Orangery.
Follow the route… :-)
San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SF MOMA), San Francisco, April 5th, 2012.
Book signing tour for the release of Camille Rose Garcia's newest book, "Snow White".
When I learned that one of my favorite artists, Camille Rose Garcia, was going to be at the SF MOMA for her book signing tour of her latest release, "Snow White", I knew I had to pull out the whisk and the mixing bowl.
Garcia’s layered, broken narrative paintings of wasteland fairy tales are influenced by William Burroughs’ cut-up writings and surrealist films, as well as vintage Disney and Fleischer cartoons, acting as critical commentaries on the failures of capitalist utopias, blending nostalgic pop culture references with a satirical slant on modern society.
This cake comprises a culmination of Camille Rose Garcia's beautiful, dark art and iconic, gothic-like imagery. It serves as a sugar tome to the milieu of characters that inhabit her dark and fantastical world as witnessed in her numerous art books: The Saddest Place On Earth, Tragic Kingdom, The Magic Bottle, Alice In Wonderland, and her latest release, Snow White.
The Magic Bottle cake topper holds the secret to saving our planet from greedy oil factories, landfills and giant corporations destroying the last of the remaining wild animals on earth. But, will it be enough to defeat the capitalist machine out to ruin the natural world? You'll have to find out by purchasing her book (or stealing the sugar bottle from me)!

Iceland, a Nordic island nation, is defined by its dramatic landscape with volcanoes, geysers, hot springs and lava fields. Massive glaciers are protected in Vatnajökull and Snæfellsjökull national parks. Most of the population lives in the capital, Reykjavik, which runs on geothermal power and is home to the National and Saga museums, tracing Iceland’s Viking history. Iceland is it the most sparsely populated country in Europe.

For Margaret Braun, whose works are absolutely stunning and seductive. A true artiste and icon to the cake world.
Thank you, Sir, may I have another? Another slice of cake, that is. Such delicious debauchery could only be created in San Francisco's most naughty of kitchens. What sexy dominatrix or burly leather daddy wouldn't want to take a bite out of this? I've no doubt the Marquis de Sade would have been pleased . Let your sexual taste buds run wild. Give in to your inner chocolate submissive. Surrender to your San Francisco Cake Master. You deserve a good fondant spanking from the crack of his sugar whip.
Obedience training is necessary. Restraint, an absolute must. All naughty girls and boys can find both at FIREandICING.com.
Happy Leather Pride to all of the wonderful , kinky dominas and daddies in San Francisco and beyond.
Longwood Gardens consists of over 1,077 acres of gardens, woodlands, and meadows. Its development as a public garden began in the 1800s with the Peirce family's arboretum, becoming known as Peirce's Park toward the end of the 19th century. As the 19th century rolled into the 20th, and the family's heirs lost interest in the property and allowed the arboretum to deteriorate, a 36-year-old Pierre S. du Pont — American entrepreneur, businessman, philanthropist, and member of the prominent du Pont family — purchased the farm primarily to preserve the trees. He was not planning to create Longwood Gardens, but within a few years, his desire to make it a place where he could entertain his friends transformed a simple country farm into one of the country's leading horticultural display gardens.
This very long slideshow features just a small section of the gardens to the east of the Conservatory, on an unusually mild and cloudy-after-drizzle December morning.
Longwood’s ‘Small Lake’ had a most unusual color, that I’m thinking could have been from some kind of treatment. (Whatever it was/is, I’m sure it was best-practice safe.) The scene included unusually late fall foliage and the perpetually fresh-green grass, and was such unexpected high-color on that overcast, drizzly morning. As would be expected, the ‘Cathedral Treehouse’ offers bird’s-eye views of the grounds, and of the Large Lake, set with dozens of luminarias for the evening holiday light display. The loop-trail around the lake leads back through the Flower Garden Walk, with its flower beds and fountain in beautiful winter-break mode. Then on to the conservatory, this time with outdoor views only — its ongoing construction, the decorated trees at the east entrance, and the orbs of the terraced lawn outside (pure magic at nightfall!) Next, the avenue-like path back to the Visitor Center area, as the fire pit, which was installed where the Gardeners’ tree has always been, was being started (the tree was relocated this year to outside of the Peirce-du Pont House). Though we were headed out to leave, with the holiday lights beginning to turn on, I couldn’t pass up ‘just a few more’ shots of the Rose Arbor, Theater Garden and surrounding gardens. In that mid-afternoon light, the russet color of the Bald-cypress tree needles was spectacular. (And natural — it was as intense as the photos show!) Lastly, the stately old American Elm tree, the sole survivor of an allée of elms planted in the 1930s which succumbed to Dutch elm disease. It is still standing, still a first welcoming sight into the gardens, and the farewell out.

KFFO (Wright-Patterson Air Force Base) - 23 AUG 2010
USAF Northrop B-2A Spirit on display at the National Museum of the US Air Force. This airframe has never been flown, but is one of two aircraft constructed without engines for fatigue testing. On the second of those test aircraft (the B-2 on display at the museum), engineers attached computer-controlled, hydraulically driven plates along the airframe to simulate all flying conditions. They calculated that the structure would reach 150 percent of the design specifications, but the wing withstood stresses over 161 percent before it finally cracked.
Early production B-2s also underwent extensive environmental testing. In 1993 the Spirit of Ohio (S/N 82-1070) endured more than 1,000 hours of extensive temperature testing at the McKinley Climatic Laboratory at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. It withstood temperatures ranging from -65 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit, rain and high humidity. To verify the test results outside the laboratory, the Spirit of Ohio deployed to Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, in March 1996 for further cold climate testing. To signify these tests, the technicians painted the "Fire and Ice" artwork on the nose landing gear panel and signed it. Presented to the museum in 1999, that nose panel was installed on the museum's B-2 during restoration.
This aircraft is painted as ""Spirit of Freedom", which is fictitious. As stated above, the nose panel from 82-1070, "Spirit of Ohio" is on this aircraft with the "Fire and Ice" artwork. The red lighting seen here is different from lighting seen in the past.

Fire and Ice
by Robert Frost
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

Dueling Dragons / Dragon Challenge
In memoriam of this once great ride. 1999-2017 RIP.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Challenge
To be fair, it was never the same since the themeing was butchered to not upset Harry Potter too much and then when they stopped the Dragons dueling it rather lost what magic remained.
--
This was taken in 2012, after the dueling was stopped, so thru the magic of photo-trickery (10 separate shots) I have restored the duel & more.
