I met him down on
San Julian just east of 6th
in downtown, which is
in the sorry heart of
Skid Row, where hundreds
upon hundreds of homeless
souls come to live on
these streets, kept alive
by the chain of
missions in the area that
feed and clothe them.
Zanf had a yard-sale
of sorts going on - right
on the corner of the street-
odd items, like toilet paper
rolls, canned soup,
a flashlight, a tiny flag,
a bag of chips, a
dog-eared paperback,
all spread out on a
red plaid blanket
on the street.
On this hot day he was
dressed in many layers
with a long orange blanket
wrapped around and many
coats and necklaces
and scarves. I took several
photos of him, of which this
is my favorite.

F-BTDL
Sud SE-210 Caravelle VI-R
136
Euralair
F-BTDL was occasionally seen at Riem in the early 1970s and also operated several flights into Fürstenfeldbruck Air Base used as a relief airport for Riem during the 1972 Summer Olympics. This time, it had arrived on 27 February 1976 and left on 29 February 1976 - the day British Airways B747 G-AWNP was also noted at the airport.
Information from airliners.net (thanks to Richard Vandervord):
Originally intended for TWA, the first airline operator of this Caravelle was in fact Austrian who registered her as OE-LCU. To Euralair 1.72 and became F-BTDL, then sold to Air Martinique in 3.80 as F-OGJD. Bought by TAC Colombia 3.81 and airline renamed Aerocesar; to LAS 8.89 and last recorded as stored at Panama City in 12.93, presumed scrapped there.

This cat hardly liked you touching him for more than a few seconds. He was a random street cat that one day decided to adopt us! so on occasion I would like him in to hang out, when he got board he would leave. One day he was hanging out in my room, so I picked up my camera and start shooting. Ended up converting to Black & White and cropping the image, giving the image the look and feel that suits this cat.
Thank you all for the comments.
My son has dropped his cat, Ciri, around for the night as his landlord is replacing the carpet prior to selling the property. So it could be that he will be house hunting sometime soon. But Ciri will miss him I think. She's not going outside in case she strays, I'm not used to cat sitting!:))

Ever since I made my Weird War US Supersoldier, I've always wanted him to have some figures from other factions to go with him. I wanted to make a German soldier with aspects that were strictly World War-era (such as his Luger) and other aspects more futuristic (such as his armor, made possible by Richard's Future Gunner set - which you will all probably be pleased to know that I have run out of now :P). It was inspired jointly by Wolfenstein and Metro Last Light.
I hope you guys like the figure!
JOHN 3:3
Jesus answered him, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, that unless a person is born again (anew, from above), he cannot ever see (know, be acquainted with, and experience) the kingdom of God.
JOHN 3:4
Nicodemus said to Him, How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter his mother's womb again and be born?
JOHN 3:5
Jesus answered, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, unless a man is born of water and (even) the Spirit, he cannot (ever) enter the kingdom of God.
JOHN 3:6
What is born of (from) the flesh is flesh (of the physical is physical); and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.
JOHN 3:7
Marvel not (do not be surprised, astonished) at My telling you. You must all be born anew (from above).
This lovely cat did not care about us. We were walking around, taking photos of him, trying to pet him, and all he cared about was sleeping in his bench.
This was taken last December. My son Cain is in the blue. I loved watching him wrestle but he doesn't wrestle anymore. :( He holds our state's record for the number of concussions in one season. ;o) He also came in fourth in the state finals. :)

Quand le guide est aussi herueux que le touriste qui l'emploie, par le fait de pouvoir partager des moments aussi fous que de trouver une Pescatoria coelestis in situ avec 11 fleurs ouvertes durant un tour de 6 jours d'observation d'orchidées et de nature que je viens de guider dans le département du Valle del Cauca, Colombie.
When the guide is as happy as the tourist who employs him, for being able to share crazy moments such as finding a Pescatoria coelestis with 11 opened flowers during a 6 days orchids and nature observation tour I just guided in Valle del Cauca department, Colombia.
Cuando el guía es tan feliz como el turista que lo contrata, por poder compartir momentos tan locos como hallar una Pescatoria coelestis con 11 flores abiertas durante un tour de 6 días de observación de orquídeas y naturaleza que acabo de guiar en el departamento del Valle del Cauca, Colombia.
Excerpt from Wikipedia:
Hess Street is a Lower City collector road in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. It starts off at the base of the Niagara Escarpment right before Aberdeen Avenue, and is a one-way street going north past the Durand and Central neighbourhoods. Between Main and King Street West is Hess Village, a cobblestone pedestrian zone of nightclubs, bars, and historic buildings. Hess Street then continues onwards to the waterfront where it ends at Stuart Street, right in front of the Canadian National Railway Yard.
Hess Street is named after Peter Hess, a farmer and landowner. Peter Street in Hamilton is also named after him, as well, Caroline Street was named after one of his daughters.
Without him Helmsley wouldn't be clogged up. No one likes Traffic Wardens but this guy isn't such a bad bloke and is not a jobsworth.
A new jumper I found in the garden today. Haven't seen this little guy before, so it was only natural that I invited him for a little stroll on my arm. Taken with my phone + a DIY lens. I also have a video of this beautiful spider which I'll post tomorrow, need some time do edit it :).

CHRISTOPHER MARLOWE E DOCTOR FAUSTUS
Christopher Marlowe.
He was the first great poetic voice of Elizabethan age and he was the first who composed in blank verse. He was born in the same year of Shakespeare, 1564. He studied at Cambridge. During his study he was probably recluted to work as a spy for the protection of the queen. He was stubbed in a brawl at a London tavern and was killed. It doesn’t know if this was an accident or a murder linked to his work in espionage. In fact his quarrelsome character is a state of fact.
His rebellious personality comes out in his works that are all of polemical nature: rebellion against the Church, the limitation of knowledge, contemporary moralism.
DOCTOR FAUSTUS PLOT Marlowe. Doctor Faustus, the plot. Dr. Faustus, student of Wittenberg, has shut himself up in his study to decide his future. He knows all there is to know about law, medicine, theology, but he is still not satisfied. He knows that necromancy involves the forbidden pact with demons. He called two magicians to instruct him in this art and he invokes the spirit of Mephistopheles. He promises to give his mortal soul to the devil in exchange for 24 years to knowledge. While he is waiting for a Lucifer’s reply he starts to have second thoughts. An Good angel tell him it is never too late. Lucifer agrees to take is soul, but Faustus must sing a contract with his blood. Mephistopheles provides a show to distract him and Faustus sings the contract. Faustus falls in a state of bitterness and contemplates suicide. He pray God but only Lucifer appears him. Then Faustus decide to enjoy the time he has left. Faustus desires come true. After various adventures, Faustus return home to meet his fate. He tries to stop the clock in a desperate attempt to save his life, but midnight arrive and Lucifer leads him away to hell.
In my batch of figures from Star Wars: The Force Awakens I also made 3 of the Original Trilogy characters: Chewy, Han Solo, and General Leia.
Chewbacca
With Chewy, I knew I had to make him significantly taller than the normal sized LEGO minifigure. With help from Dylan/TheMooseFigs, Billy/billbobful, and their respective limb extension techniques, I was able to make Chewy the right height and keep his proportions correct. After extending the limbs, I used Procreate to sculpt onto his legs and arms so they wouldn't look so thin compared with LEGO's head/torso mold. Then I painted everything a dark brown, added the initial areas of dark tan/brown, then did a lot of dry brushing to try to get the two colors to fuse together. Toes were also painted on.
His Bowcaster is made out of a LEGO Crossbow, 2 LEGO Rifle scopes, BrickArms M4 muzzle, BrickArms Sten Gun collapsible stock, wire, and procreate.
Han Solo
Han is my favorite hero from the OT, so I was really looking forward to making his figure.
His legs were initially reddish brown, then I added on the dark brown boots and dark brown holster/belt which was outlined in a more of a glossier black since regular matte black would blend in too much. Some silver and gunmetal details were painted on for the buckles and such. The torso was a plain white torso with the collar painted on in dark grey, then other details and wrinkles were added on in a light grey. His jacket is a modified CapeMadness vest painted dark brown, along with his arms. On his vest, I glued on a modified TinyTactical Chemlight unit which was painted up. Other details were painted onto the vest in black and gloss black. Han's face is the regular Han Solo face with the color of the eyebrows altered and some wrinkles added on. The hair was washed in dark brown. His weapon is a BrickArms DL-44 with a gunmetal muzzle, brown grip, and washed in gunmetal/silver.
General Leia
There weren't a lot of reference photos for Leia out there, so some of this figure is a little inaccurate. She wears a sand grayish-green jumpsuit, so I had to mix that color. She has black boots, and a black belt with silver buckle. On her torso, I painted various details in black as well as dark green. Her vest is a modified CapeMadness trench coat painted purple, and details added on in gloss black. Her face is the TLG Leia face with the eyebrows painted and some wrinkles added on, and the hair was painted dark tan, washed in brown, then washed in grey.
Let me know what you all think, I'd really appreciate it!
Also, please be considerate and leave the comments spoiler-free!

Bob was rolling around on the bed like an idiot. It was difficult to photograph him as he wouldn't stay still. When he stopped moving for a few seconds, I took the photo seen here. 11:36pm, Monday the 2nd of December, 2024.
We followed him east where the dispatcher planned a meet at the next siding. Road construction limited our shots in between, but we got him coming into the siding before heading back to the highway overpass.
The train he was meeting was a J train heading for Washington. A Boeing train. We had no intel on it besides a leader number so we weren't for certain how many (if any) fuselages would end up being on it. We hoped for at least two, and were at near disbelief when he came around the corner with five total fuselages. A friendly crew on this train as well, something that seemed to be a common occurrence up here.
Man, the people in Montana are so nice, aren't they Sam?

There is a story in the Mahāyāna sutras of the Bodhisattva Sadāparibhūta (“Never Despising”). He didn’t teach doctrines, perform miracles, or dazzle anyone. He simply walked around bowing to people and saying:
“I don’t despise you, because you will all become Buddhas.”
At the time, people mocked him, even beat him, but eventually his presence planted seeds.
The Calling of Saint Matthew is an oil painting by Caravaggio that depicts the moment Jesus Christ calls on the tax collector Matthew to follow him. It was completed in 1599–1600 for the Contarelli Chapel in the church of the French congregation, San Luigi dei Francesi in Rome, where it remains. It hangs alongside two other paintings of Matthew by Caravaggio, The Martyrdom of Saint Matthew (painted around the same time as the Calling) and The Inspiration of Saint Matthew (1602).
More than a decade earlier, Cardinal Matthieu Cointerel (in Italian, Matteo Contarelli) had left funds and specific instructions in his will for the decoration of a chapel based on themes related to his namesake, Saint Matthew. The dome of the chapel was decorated with frescoes by the late Mannerist artist Giuseppe Cesari, Caravaggio's former employer and one of the most popular painters in Rome at the time. But as Cesari became busy with royal and papal patronage, Cardinal Francesco Del Monte, Caravaggio's patron and also the prefect of the Fabbrica of St Peter's (the Vatican office for Church property), intervened to obtain for Caravaggio his first major church commission and his first painting with more than a handful of figures.
Caravaggio's Calling of Saint Matthew hangs opposite The Martyrdom of Saint Matthew. While the Martyrdom was probably the first to be started, the Calling was, by report, the first to be completed.[citation needed] The commission for these two lateral paintings — the Calling and the Martyrdom — is dated July 1599, and final payment was made in July 1600. Between the two, at the altar, is The Inspiration of Saint Matthew (1602).
The painting depicts the story from the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 9:9): "Jesus saw a man named Matthew at his seat in the custom house, and said to him, "Follow me", and Matthew rose and followed Him." Caravaggio depicts Matthew the tax collector sitting at a table with four other men. Jesus Christ and Saint Peter have entered the room, and Jesus is pointing at Matthew. A beam of light illuminates the faces of the men at the table who are looking at Jesus Christ. This is a depiction of a moment of spiritual awakening and conversion, which was something many Baroque artists were interested in painting, especially Caravaggio.
There is some debate over which man in the picture is Saint Matthew, as the surprised gesture of the bearded man at the table can be read in two ways.
Most writers on the Calling assume Saint Matthew to be the bearded man, and see him to be pointing at himself, as if to ask "Me?" in response to Christ's summons. This theory is strengthened when one takes into consideration the other two works in this series, The Inspiration of Saint Matthew, and The Martyrdom of Saint Matthew. The bearded man who models as Saint Matthew appears in all three works, with him unequivocally playing the role of Saint Matthew in both the "Inspiration" and the "Martyrdom".
A more recent interpretation proposes that the bearded man is in fact pointing at the young man at the end of the table, whose head is slumped. In this reading, the bearded man is asking "Him?" in response to Christ's summons, and the painting is depicting the moment immediately before a young Matthew raises his head to see Christ. Other writers describe the painting as deliberately ambiguous.
Some scholars speculate that Jesus is portrayed as the Last Adam or Second Adam as titled in the New Testament. This is displayed in Christ's hand as it reaches out towards Matthew. It is almost a mirrored image of Adam's hand in The Creation of Adam by Michelangelo, the namesake of Caravaggio. Twice in the New Testament, an explicit comparison is made between Jesus and Adam. In Romans 5:12–21, Paul argues that "just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous" (Romans 5:19, NIV). In 1 Corinthians 15:22, Paul argues that "as in Adam all die, so in Christ, all will be made alive," while in verse 45 he calls Jesus the "last/ultimate/final Adam".
Walking from the bright of morning into the unknown shadows, Teddy was scared. Afraid in broad daylight. A man that has seen what he has in this life, fearful. The Psychic told him things. Showed him the light. Warned him about the darkness.
The sweaty bottle he hid behind the parking sign on Sansom Street waited for him. His savior. He knew this and walked faster still, in the opposite direction, far away from the corner the psychic warned him about.
He'd be waiting for you is what she said, or at least that is what he thought she said. A slur of words, each spilling from her mouth lazily followed by hot breath that smelled faintly of medicine. He will be there.
Then she said his name with a clarity that made his blood run cold: Daryl.
Augustin, le juvénile du clocher de l'Église River's Edge a fait son premier vol 2 jours plutôt. Le voici, après être passé par la Clinique des oiseaux de proie pour un bilan santé et un baguage.
Après avoir exploré quelques toits de voitures stationnées, le voici perché sur un panneau indiquant le sens unique. Il a bien hâte d'avoir son premier repas que maman essaiera de lui servir sur cette perche précaire. Polly, sa maman, le surveille depuis un point stratégique sur le clocher de l'église qui l'a vu naître.

His name is Augustine (in memory of the original name of the church where he was born). He fledged two days earlier and landed in the park across the street. After a short stay at the Raptors' Clinic, we released him on the roof of the school next door. Two days later after having explored the rooftops of several parked cars, here he is perched on a one-way traffic sign hoping to get fed by his mom, Polly who is standing watch over him form a strategic spot on the bell tower of the church.
