We lived in Dubai, UAE from 1991 to 1996 and I worked at a campus of the Higher Colleges of Technology, primarily in the Foundation's program. These pictures include college functions, as well as staff, get togethers.
These images are directly from the scanner and rough due to the age of the photographs. Over time, I may do a bit of editing on these.

(This is probably my favorite photo from Saturday's trip.)
One in a series of images titled 'Form minus Function'.
It's fair to say that type and ink only ever meet on a printed page. In this series of images, the two elements are presented to us in a way that is a little more unusual. Images of black and white ink in water are accompanied by small typographical letters to generate strange yet captivating forms that appear to float effortlessly in the air.
A contemporary tribute to traditional methods of print.
Best viewed large!
Just a little (and probably incorrect) mock-up of Storm Beast's function. It's very clever and yet simple. However I have to admit I'm a little disappointed with how far you need to move the tail to get the full rotation, which is pretty small 90 degrees anyway. In the video I activate the function slowly, trying to make the arms swing faster means flailing the tail around all over the place like a maniac. All in all it's fun but it feels more similar to controlling a stringed puppet more than a function. It requires a certain carefulness to use or else to becomes too chaotic.
I attended the "Antique Flywheel Engine & Tractor Show" sponsored by the "Florida Flywheeler's Antique Engine Club" located at 7000 Avon Park Cutoff Road, Fort Mead, FL 33841 on Friday February 21, 2020.
This Photograph shows an Interesting Collection on Display at the Antique Flywheel and Tractor Show, Fort Meade, Florida. However, the Presentation is Much, Much better than the chaotic Presentation in my previous Photograph (Click on the Right Arrow) !
Several other shows/exhibitions were as follows: Functioning Sawmill Demonstrations, Running 1914 400 HP Snow Making Machine Demonstration, Antique Construction Equipment Demonstrations, Model-T Put-Together Demonstration, Daily Antique Tractor Pulls, Kids Pedal Tractor Pulls on Friday & Saturday, Daily Antique Car Parade, Daily Antique Tractor Parade, Florida Flywheeler Antique Engine Club Gift Shop Opened, Huge Flea Market & the Antique Village (was opened) to Wander Through.
This Place is HUGE ! - - One of the attendants told me it is approx 480 ACRES !
A return to my more usual output. I've been questioning why seascapes have obsessed me over the past eighteen months. Is it the challenge of finding new locations? Is it the added factor of having to predict how the tides will affect the scene? Is it the lure of the sea? Or is it that the coast of Clare is within striking distance of home and I can set out in time to be there for sunset if the weather looks promising? I still haven't found the answer. Perhaps it is a combination of all these things.
This is a fifty second exposure using a 10 stop filter, with a three stop reverse GND on the sky. It is also the product of persistence. This was my second successive evening at this location. The first evening had great clouds, but I was twice frustrated by showers. Using the ten stop filter is slow. You have to set up the tripod, compose the shot and then screw in the ten stop filter. Then you have to experiment with the grad filter to line it up just right with the horizon. The live view function helps by showing the image on the rear screen. Then, just when you are ready, the showers come and spatter the filters with raindrops. Twice I had to dry everything off and put the gear away.
I knew that the tide would still be suitable the following evening, so I went back and got this shot. I could have wished for more clouds, but I liked the light on the rocks. It's a three hour round trip each time to get here and home, but I thought it was worth it. I have been feeling a bit down and reluctant to go out with my camera over the past few months, so it was good to get back in the saddle.

The toco toucan has a striking plumage. What appears to be a blue iris is actually thin blue skin around the eye. This blue skin is surrounded by another ring of bare, orange skin. This species is the largest toucan.The most noticeable feature, however, is its huge bill, which measures from 6.2 to 9.1 in in length. It looks heavy, but as in other toucans it is relatively light because the inside largely is hollow. Research has shown that one function is as a surface area for heat exchange. The bill has the ability to modify blood flow and so regulate heat distribution in the bird, allowing it to use its bill as a thermal radiator. In terms of surface area used for this function, the bill relative to the bird's size is amongst the largest of any animal and has a network of superficial blood vessels supporting the thin horny sheath on the bill made of keratin called the rhamphotheca.

I completed 60 years of age and my sisters and children wanted to have a small function at home.
I thank all the elements of life (sun, water, air, space and earth)
which made my life. I owe a lot to my wife without whom my life would be nothing. My sincere thanks to my parents ( no more ), sisters, children and last but not the least my friends who are my treasure.
And I started learning "Life begins after sixty !!!"

Lego animated Gym Thanks to Peter Reid (Legoloverman) for the inspiration.
Driven by Lego Power functions.
Ash’s twin mech, designed as an equal in power but not in function, ROZ is inspired in a dark elf knight, he is heavily armored and carries 2 weapons, the Grimoir Glaive, the main weapon, it’s a massive sword that can cut thru almost anything, and can absorb any energy shot that it receives, the storaged energy can be used differently depending on the sword configuration, not all the configuration have been tested. The whip-claw-sword, is usually attached to the mech and works as a third arm, carrying the glaive or as an additional close range defense, but if needed it can be detached for a more powerful effect.
This was built using the same basic frame of the Ash mech and was designed at the same time, but just finished building, they go together very well and I really like them.
My next builds are going to require more time and planning but sty tuned for more!
Technic functional goodness!
Even though I grew up with LEGO Technic before my semi-dark ages, my skills in it are still rusty. I struggled for weeks trying to make the 4-wheel drive, pendular suspension, steering, double V8 engine, and working flatbed.
I guess Flickr puts a limit on how long videos can be. A longer video is on youtube here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQ74OXBN3Rw&t=8s
