Every year, on a midaugust night, with calm sea, full moon and the breeze coming from the surrounding hills, everybody in Celle comes to the seashore and put a candle, and a related wish, into the water letting them floating away.
Many thanks in advance to everyone who will pass by visiting my shots. Comments are appreciated. You are welcome!

The story of Zircon Crystals and Earth's age in a Nutshell.
How tiny Zircon Crystals - Zirconium silicate (ZrSiO4) helped determine the age of the Earth (at approximately 4.5 Billion years old since the crust cooled), with Radiometric U-Pb (Uranium-Lead) dating.
Zircon Crystals trap Uranium Atoms in its crystal structure and naturally repel Lead Atoms when the crystal forms. Once the crystal structure is formed, nothing is able to escape. Over time the isotopes of Uranium start to transmutate into other elements in a process that is referred to as a decay chain.
An Uranium Atom first transmutates into a Thorium Atom (which takes a few billion years). Thorium is far more unstable, and in less than a month it turns into Protactinium. Within a minute Protactinium Atoms transmute again, and so the transmutation continues down the decay chain. At the end of the radioactive decay chain, the initial trapped Uranium Atoms finally decays into stable Lead (Pb) Atoms, which will remain Lead forever. The decay rate and time associated with each transmutation is constant in the Universe, which makes it possible to calculate the age of the crystal with Radiometric dating.
As Zircon Crystals are tough, it is the oldest geological time-capsules that survived in Earth's dynamic and ever-changing crust since it cooled. As nothing can get in or out of the Zircon Crystal structure, it is the most accurate way of geological dating.
By comparing the Uranium to Lead ratio in Zirconium silicate crystals on Earth, from Moon samples and from visiting Meteorites, Scientists were able to calculate that the Earth is 4.54 billion years old. The error margin is 50 million years, which is small considering the time-scale.
The background history of Radiometric dating:
In 1896 Henri Becquerel and Marie Curie discovered that certain isotopes undergo spontaneous radioactive decay, transforming into new isotopes. Atoms of a parent radioactive isotope randomly decay into a daughter isotope. Marie Curie won a Nobel Prize in Physics and Chemistry for her work.
About Lead:
The spin-off from trying to date the Earth by finding the Uranium to Lead ratio in Zircon crystals, was that the Scientist Clair Patterson discovered the unusually high amount of toxic Lead in the environment when he tried to analyse the Zircon in a Mass Spectrometer. This was due to the widespread use of Lead-based fuel, Lead-based paint, etc.
Our bodies require metals like Iron in the blood to transfer Oxygen through the body. The body is fooled and assumes that Lead is a good metal, but Lead not only destroys cells, but also blocks the signals of Neuroreceptors in the Brain.
After a lifetime of persistence and mounting evidence, Clair Patterson eventually won the case against the large Oil Companies that tried to discredit his findings. Since then the widespread use of Lead in everyday products were banned (which is why we now use unleaded fuel to power our vehicles).
Interesting reading:

One of several licensed privateer fleets operating within the lawless Rift region which so much inter-faction shipping must pass through, the Shinobi fleet saw unusual amounts of success due to the cunning of its pirate chief.
Commanding the pirate fleet is the Graveclutch, a retrofitted heavy freightliner known for its near-impenetrable shielding and the menacing grappling mechanism across its bow. The Graveclutch's favorite tactic was to engage at the head of an attack group, taking the brunt of enemy fire while smaller gunships neutralized convoy escorts and left shipping fleets defenseless.
Despite dozens of successful raids and multiple scraps with FSC and CIR anti-piracy patrols, the Graveclutch and its captain both met their end in a fatal engagement with the PCS Texas, flagship of a vigilante paramilitary organization that had dedicated itself to hunting down pirates groups such as the Shinobi fleet and making the Rift a better place.
----------------------------------------
This'll sadly be the only render of this ship. Mecabricks' piece library is still pretty limited and several important pieces were removed when I imported the model in from LDD. I'll fill in with regular screenshots to show off the rest of the model though.
The Graveclutch started out as a freighter build, which then received a recolor to match my other Shinobi Fleet models and some firepower. The ship design takes tons of inspiration from the talented Shannon Sproule and Pierre Fieschi.

The Wiljakali people who occupied the area when Charles Sturt arrived in 1845 (and first referred to it as 'broken hill') faced less immediate settler aggression than tribal groups who lived on the rivers, including the Darling.
In 1883, when boundary rider Charles Rasp formed a small syndicate to mine a great ironstone outcrop in the far west of New South Wales, they thought they would find tin. Instead, they ended up having leases over some of the world's richest silver, lead, and zinc deposits. Unlike gold, these metals were not simply there for the taking. Broken Hill Proprietory Ltd. (BHP), formed in 1885, faced technical and logistical challenges in mining and processing ore bodies.
In 1888, Argent Street in Broken Hill caught fire on a hot blustery summer day. The resulting blaze in the then relatively young mining town was almost unstoppable, destroying the entire western side of the commercial centre. This was the first of many such outbreaks in the town.
Broken Hill grew quickly. A population of 17,000 in 1889 had more than doubled to 35,000 in 1914, putting it on the map as the then third-largest city in New South Wales. In today's terms, it could be described as Australia's most multicultural city of the time.
Trade Unions quickly formed around the mine and extraction processing industries. The Trades Hall, built between 1891 and 1905, became the first building in Australia owned by unions, who also purchased the local newspaper 'The Barrier Times' in 1908. This strong union tradition permeated all aspects of life in Broken Hill. The city's unionists won a 35-hour week in 1920, the first to do so in Australia.
The city is full of surprises, including a mosque, founded by Afghan cameleers in the early 1890s, and a synagogue built in 1910. The cameleers flourished in the later decades of the 19th century, transporting wool as well as construction materials for the Overland telegraph line from Darwin to Port Augusta. The Jewish population mainly came from Eastern Europe. While the synagogue closed in 1962, the mosque is still used for worship. BHP ceased operations in Broken Hill in the late 1930s, by which time other mining companies had formed, leaving behind an open-cut mine that writer George Farwell described in 1948 as, 'forlorn as a dead planet. It has the air of a crater on the moon... Massive boulders and abandoned machinery sprawl down its flanks as though flung down the sheer sides of a mountain gorge. Upon the crest old iron lies everywhere'.
Over the years, Broken Hill has attracted artists from across the country, drawn to the inspiring environment, the remote (and cheap) studio spaces, and the friendly community.
The Palace Hotel was erected as a coffee palace in 1889 at a cost of £12, 190 pounds. The Temperance Movement (a group that believes in non-licensed venues for the community) commissioned the build; They had a vision of a place for fine dining and coffee. Setting it apart from the licensed hotels that were abundant in Broken Hill.
The architect was Alfred Dunn from Melbourne; he had successfully won a competition to design the hotel. The build was unprofitable as a coffee palace and ultimately became a licensed hotel in 1892.
Mario Coletto, the building's owner from the 1970s - 2004, painted a copy of Botticelli's Venus on the ceiling of the hotel foyer in 1980. The painting took him 144 hours and at the end, he referred to it as "a pain in the neck" so he offered £1000 for anyone who could match his painting in the blank area next to his painting.
An Indigenous artist from Port Augusta by the name of Gordon Waye came into the hotel. Mario asked him to paint a wall in the front bar, which Gordon painted in eight hours across two days. Over a period of years, Gordon painted all the other murals mostly in a landscape theme. He typically painted landscapes familiar with Port Augusta and Central Australia, where he was from.
The only stipulation was that scenes contain a water feature so that the hotel would feel like an oasis in the outback.
The blank area is still not painted on the ceiling of the foyer. All the hand stenciled wallpaper is Mario's work.

Now here’s a little story that I’ve got to tell about three bad brothers you know so well...
I know I'm not being very original by saying that I'm a big Beastie Boys fan, but I'm a big Beastie Boys fan!
Ever since Beat Street played on First Choice and that I heard rap for the first time I was hooked onto that culture. RUN DMC's Raising Hell and Beastie Boys Licenced To Ill were the first LPs I bought for myself and kick started what is now a huge music collection. That was in 1986, 31 years ago as I write this, and although I'm a little late to the party, I thought I'd build this to pay homage and add to the celebration of this iconic album, band and cover art.
I won't bore you with how much Beastie Boys collectables and records I have, or how many times I've seen them live, but If your interested this is a fantastic article about the cover art of this Licensed To Ill album and another about the 30th anniversary.

Thanks to Veronique for her graphic skills Geneviève for the hi def photos.
The Rob Roy Hotel has had an unbroken existence since first licensed under that name by Robert Peter in 1840. The land was town acre 523 bought by James Cronk and John Bragg in 1838 and the first hotel building was probably a single storey cottage, shown in an early illustration, standing on the site of the present eastern (1881) wing. Robert Peter bought the property in 1842 for eighty-five pounds and resold to Peter Smith in 1853 for 1,680 pounds, suggesting that the present two storey western wing was built between 1842 and 1853.
In 1872 the property was bought by Thomas, Margaret and Barbara Smith and the two storey eastern wing was built in 1881 to the design of architects English and Soward. The earlier western wing remained largely unaltered until 1926, when the facade was renovated including minor changes to the openings and a new parapet.
The hotel was leased to Sir Edwin Thomas Smith's Brewery from 1867-1900, to the SA Brewing Company from 1900-1922 and the Walkerville Cooperative Brewing Company from 1922. In 1938 it was bought by the SA Brewing Company.
Internal alterations were made in 1978 and further internal alterations, associated with construction of a new single storey wing in sympathetic style on the eastern side, were made in about 1985.

================================
In response to the Congressional budget debacle which proved that DC is but a colony -- prone to being singled out unlike any other city in the country -- a number of activists, elected officials, and general citizens came out in force upon the grounds of Capitol Hill.
The crowd first formed on the sidewalk, but after some opening remarks by elected officials and activists: they quickly spilled into the street. The Capitol Police had been on hand & I'd thought it amusing that a couple were taking photos & videos... it wasn't until I saw the wristbands come out when I realised these weren't officers enjoying the moment; they were recording evidence.
With many minutes of warning, large portions of the group shifted over the sidewalk; whilst a core of dedicated supporters -- including our Mayor, a number of councilmembers, and members of DC Vote -- remained behind to block the roadway. The officers began to surround the group & repeated their warnings to get back on the sidewalk or face arrest.
Now in all fairness to the Capitol Police: they were doing their job. They were quite courteous about it & the protest was similarly jubilant right back. One woman was first to be bound, soon followed by several other activists. Then came Muriel Bowser: first councilmember to be arrested.
In general, I tend to dislike political grandstanding... but this was different. If our council was being arrested by our own police, I'd think it a cheesy photo op... but now our locally-elected officials were being arrested by the very forces we were out to protest: the Feds. This wasn't a mere photo op arrest; this was actually a legitimate arrest... the kind of thing that goes on your record; the kind of thing you spent a night in jail for.
Now granted, I don't expect anyone will be in jail longer than tomorrow; I'd be surprised if any were still locked up by midnight tonight. But it was Councilmember Bowser's arrest which really hit a moment... you could see the look on her face was of some worried concern: someone who had never been arrested before & didn't show up here today expecting to be arrested. As she was placed into the police van: her look of concern changed to a bit more worry. I mean this as no knock against Councilmember Bowser's committment; rather I felt it really help to humanise the entire event. It made me respect her all the more.
Yvette Alexander stood right beside us for quite some time, complicated in that she didn't have her ID on her. While it was entertaining to see our top officials being frisked, it was also quite entertaining that our easily-recognisable councilmember needed her ID... prompting a standerby to call one of her staffers with the best introduction I've ever heard over a phone: "Hi, your councilmember has been arrested." Also, kudos to Councilmember Alexander for going to jail in high heels!
There is a lot I can complain about with the council in general; and certainly with individual councilmembers & even the mayor. Heck, that's what politicians are for: you're not supposed to always like them. But this was an opportunity to set aside some of those issues (frankly, I'd say DC was glad to have a unifying moment after the past couple weeks) and cheer on our own brothers & sisters as they stood up in support of our rights.
It was certainly a proud moment to be a DC resident and a fine boost to our collective esteem after several weeks of turmoil within our local & federal levels of government. It's aggravating that my support for small & local government is inhibited by those in Congress whom advocate small & local government. If I wanted to live in a colony, I'd have moved to Williamsburg.
She knew all the history and explained it very well!
These licensed Paris guides must pass a rigorous test and adhere to high standards, so they are all good. Among many other skills/certificates, one must be fluent in English and French and have a working knowledge of a third language!.
I'd say at least 7,000 vehicles were licensed in `45 Colorado. I grabbed a tighter shot of this implement at Mac. Last licensed in 1945, it surely is a clue as to why our US infrastructure, roads and bridges have been destroyed; well, that and the righties. I am using a McIntosh Ag Museum shot to finish a rust belt series by adding more rust and weeds. There is a lot more rust to come on this. This certainly is a fitting title for this image. This machinery is for the ages, the iron ages! This is some kind of wierd plowing implement, it must be an older iron implement and possibly horse-drawn but probably not in 1945. I see some rust on it. It had to be iron heavy in order to be able to "bite" into the soil. I ought to go again and figure out the exact function but who knows. I'd surely like to see some of the implements in operation. Some parts MAY be discombobulated.
This June found a return to hot temperatures. Wundermaps reported 101 degrees while I was out there. Whew! The direct sun blazed across the scene. I decided that I had missed some shots at McIntosh and went out in the baking sun. We are still here at the end of September waiting for autumn, cool temperatures denied by Fossilized climate destruction.
Highway #66 was overloaded with early summer travelers to the hills, probably not knowing summer might not arrive until July in the Rockies. They were still dumping a lot of snow into the rivers yet there are plenty of folks willing to jump in and drown. Fine by me although social news and media seems to whine!
