An abandoned villa in the Italian countryside with some nice details in the living areas upstairs and a lot of large barrels in the basement. Unsure on the history of this but seems to have been abandoned for many years.

...who could ask for anything more? I was seriously debating the alternative title: Hello, my name is Sergei and I have a case of Flickr.

This simple idea took about two hours to implement - mainly because I tried to have a photo shoot and some wine at the same time. We still have our Christmas tree up so I figured I might as well use it for bokeh again.
The way to make what appears inside the lens to be out-of-focus is to put another lens in front of it. Then you have a major headache figuring out which way to move it until you have precisely the thing you want inside.
Strobist info: Man-made Christmas tree from Walmart ($15), two lens, two Sunpak 5000AF: 1) high right with CTO gel into the silver umbrella; 2) left with grid snoot, both at 1/64. Camera is set at WB 3200.

CTBC bank is also implementing finger vein scanning and facial recognition at its automatic teller machines (ATM), which would allow customers to withdraw money without having to use a bank card or PIN.
The finger vein technique was pioneered by the Japanese firm Hitachi Ltd and is based on the unique pattern of veins inside a finger. Only a living finger is accepted by the scanner, which is believed to make vein recognition a more secure technology than fingerprint scanning.
The finger vein sensor has a false match rate of 0.01 percent, and its accuracy in measuring the blood flow of a user for identity authentication is unaffected by variations in age and physical condition, the bank said, citing findings by US-based International Biometric Group.

Close up photograph of kitchen implements.
Indeed, I made more than one photograph in the kitchen this week. Will this be a new stylistic direction in my photography? Stay tuned and find out! Like yesterday’s photograph, this subject was on the kitchen counter. I needed something to test out a new camera with a macro lenses, no tiny bugs were handy, so here we are.
As I pondered these two kitchen photographs it stuck me that the patterns, especially with all of the soft blur in the images, reminded me of some close-up photograph s I have made of grasses and similar plants.

The week got away from me so just remembered at 8 last night that I hadn't shot anything for this weeks theme. Rummaged through the kitchen until I came across this handy dandy little gem. A thingamajig to get your olives out of jars and cans.

Once autonomous drones had been implemented into war, everything changed. Drones were faster, indefatigable, could carry massive amounts of supplies, and most importantly, did not cost a life if they were destroyed.

Over break, I was able to make a couple minifigs and one project I've been trying to do since last summer. Nothing big, but I've got a few things to upload now.

Probably used in the wine farms of the area for shovelling grapes.
I want to implement more lifestyle shots into my portfolio.
It's something very new for me, to organize people, match their style with the surroundings and to let everything look natural. And with this shot I'm really happy!

Due to the invasion of southern and eastern European nations by the Warsaw Pact, the EU has sent back their troops to Europe from America to prepare and strategize a retaliation. Due to this soldiers now have a much more common presence in the daily lives of civilians. All forces will be used to create an advantage, even the Leaning Tower of Pisa will be used as a watch tower in Italy. The preparations are almost complete.

Doing something very interesting with the leaning tower of pisa was harder than I thought if I wanted it to be pretty accurate, so this is more of a tone scene rather than a detailed one to be more accurate to the area.

When looking for subjects to test (otherwise know as “get to know”) a new camera or lens, it is amazing what things one can find to photograph! This week I’m trying to get up to speed on a new camera — more about that below — and how it works with some lenses I already have. On this evening I slapped a macro lens on the thing and headed to the kitchen to photograph… a whisk, blender blades, coffee cups, and others stuff that was lying around.
It is important to me to both understand objectively how my camera equipment functions and to develop an intuitive familiarity with it. The former helps me make smart decisions, and the latter is very important in the field, where I don’t want to get stuck wondering how the gear works. In this case, the new equipment is a Fujifilm X-T5 that I got to upgrade from the XPro2 that I’ve been using for my “small camera” photography for the past few years. For this photograph and a few others like it I put the Fujifilm 80mm macro on the camera.

Yesterday I travelled back and forth to London wondering what will happen in the event of a no-deal Brexit. Will I need to get a stamp in my passport every time I enter and leave the UK? Will additional checks at passport control be implemented? I’m afraid that very long queues are going to be one of the many unwante side effects of Britain’s imperial fantasies driven by populism. In the 19th century, England had a pretty clear sense of its place in the world. They were the rulers of the waves, the cradle of the industrial revolution, and on their way to creating the largest empire in history. Will Brexit bring this back? I don’t think so. What I do think is that it’s going to be messy, very messy… Millenium Bridge, London, UK
Hello everyone, it's a beautiful morning today. I hope you're all terrific! - Today I'm showing you a bathroom vanity that I've constructed by using multiple items from different content creators on the grid. To be frankly honest with you, I'm not to fancy with designing bathroom layouts, it's just not something I've mastered, so I'm doing my best to refine that medium. Though, if you do adore or like this scene, or perhaps would like to implement some of it into your home. I'd like to keep you mindful that I've done some heavy modifications.
You all pretty much know how much I love styling kitchens, so coming up in the future I'll be creating a bathroom and kitchen alike, as most homes have the same cabinetry, etc in those two rooms.
Sanded down timber, with a subtle white wash, matte chrome faucets, and piping, a mirror outlined with a chrome finish. A touch of jute to implement and bounce from the wood, soft linen towels, and robe. Going for that woodsy soft winter like emotion. You could, however, create the faucets to be a silver, but you would need something to help balance that.
This month I'll be a little chaotic. I've got a few projects, but I'm also going to be in the hospital for a day procedure on the 15th. I don't like to talk about my health a lot on social media or such. I may speak more on it in the future but it's something I only speak about to a few.

Ladies and gentlemen,
WE are here to address a truly colorful incident affecting our museum, art and freedom of expression.
Yesterday, the satirical painting featuring world leaders became the target of a paint attack - ironically, adding an unplanned layer of abstract commentary to the piece. While we appreciate artistic reinterpretation, we strongly prefer it to be confined to the canvas and not the courtroom.
To ensure future masterpieces remain untarnished, we will implement enhanced security measures, including personal checks and increased surveillance, because nothing says “welcome to the arts” like a metal detector. Rest assured, the painting will be restored and re-exhibited as a resilient reminder that satire may get splattered, but its message remains bulletproof.
Thank you for your attention!
In 1944 Aalto was commissioned to design and implement a town plan for Säynätsalo, a small factory town founded around Johan Parviaisen Tehtaat wood-processing mills, from 1946 operated by Enso-Gutzeit (now part of Stora Enso), whose headquarters in Helsinki he also designed. The town hall would be built at a later date after Aalto won a government-mandated competition for its design. Aalto constructed the building into the wooded hillside of Säynätsalo creating a three-story multi-purpose building surrounding an elevated courtyard.
The design of the Town Hall was influenced by both Finnish vernacular architecture and the humanist Italian renaissance. It was the Italian Renaissance from which Aalto drew inspiration for the courtyard arrangement which informed the name of his original competition entry entitled "Curia." While the main program of the building is housed within a heavy brick envelope, the courtyard is bordered by a glass-enclosed circulation space which can be linked to the model of an arcade-bordered Piazza.
It was important to Aalto that the design represent democracy and the people's relationship with the government which is why he included a large public space, along with sections dedicated to the public.
The town hall is crowned by the council chamber, a double-height space which is capped by the Aalto-designed "Butterfly" trusses. The trusses support both the roof and the ceiling, creating airflow to manage condensation in the winter and heat in the summer. The butterfly truss eliminates the need for multiple intermediate trusses. It also gives call to medieval and traditional styles. The council Chamber is approached from the main entrance hall a floor below via a ramp which wraps around the main tower structure under a row of clerestory ribbon windows.
Aalto constrained his material palate to one dominated by brick and accented by timber and copper. Though Aalto practiced at the same time as Modernist Architects Le Corbusier and others, he rejected the Machine Aesthetic for the majority of his architecture. Instead, he saw his buildings as organisms made of up of individual cells. This principle informed Aalto's use of traditional building materials such as brick which is, by nature, cellular. The bricks were even laid slightly off-line to create a dynamic and enlivened surface condition due to the shadows.
The massive brick envelope is punctuated by periods of vertical striation in the form of timber columns which evoke Säynätsalo's setting in a heavily forested area.
Another distinctive feature at Säynätsalo are the grass stairs which complement a conventional set of stairs adjacent to the tower council chambers. The grass stairs also evoke notions of ancient Greek and Italian architecture through the establishment of a form resembling a simple amphitheater condition.

This is a test of developing Kodak Vision color projection film as black and white negative. There's a lot of potential here, but it's acting weird. I think this film might want a more active developer.

The BNSF signal gangs have finished up another round of signal upgrades on the Marceline Sub. In November most of the remaining ex-Santa Fe signal bridges were cut over to new wayside signals. The BNSF started upgrades to the signal system back on the Marceline Sub in 2012-13 with the implement of PTC. Somehow a few signal bridges made it into 2019 untouched. Now all that really remains are bridges that have the newer hooded signals on them. Here an empty grain train leaves Marceline in the rear view mirror as they head east.
