Ecliptic Millennial Arch. Napier. New Zealand.
This sculpture is placed on Marine Parade to line up with the position that the sun rose on the day of the dawning of the new millennium.
This sculpture celebrates the new millennium and is made from a steel arch of round pipe. At the top two large, highly polished, domed stainless steel discs are fastened back to back. They reflect what is behind the viewer, either the rising sun over the sea, or the lights and Norfolk Island Pines of Marine Parade. The work is lined up to where the sun rose on the day of the dawning of the new millennium. At night it is lit by rings of flexible neon tube between the two discs, which shine out like a halo or rising moon or even an eclipse.
Ecliptic is the name of the path that the sun traces across the heavens throughout the four seasons. It is a reference to David's knowledge of celestial navigation which he acquired while sailing to New Zealand. The concept of the sculpture is thus drawn from direct personal experience. In "shooting the sun" the navigator brings the sun down to the horizon in the sextant's mirrors, and rocks it gently back and forth in an arc over the horizon.
The sculpture is constructed of Steel and stainless steel and is 19m long x 5.5m high, beside the sea on Marine Parade. Ecliptic was placed here by the Napier City Council Millennium Sub-committee to mark the beginning of the third millennium.
To find the point where the sun rose at the start of the millennium, follow a line from the rock through the centre of the arch to the horizon.

The Millennium Storms - The Second Ion Prophecy
With the music : Onur Tarçın - Existence
And warm will be the days and the nights that burn the hills, the heavens and the seas.
And the seven winds will race the earth in whirlwinds of storm roaring like dragons and howling like wolves in the mountains.
And the tides will wake the Giant Adamastor in the cliffs that crumble taking the beaches and the Men of the sea but also the songs of the mermaids of the antiquity.
Thirty-one cycles of seasons will follow the two thousands that have passed when the millennial storms will come.
Through storms and cyclones never seen, swirls of voices that can not be heard anymore.
And they follow each other again and again, not sparing the days nor the nights lost, let alone the verses of the forgotten poets.
Do not pray to the heavens for the lost loves and glories, for they will no longer hear ... Eordhyon was free !

E quentes serão os dias e as noites que queimam os montes, os céus e os mares.
E os sete ventos percorrerão a Terra em remoinhos de tempestades rugindo como dragões e uivando como lobos nas montanhas.
E as marés acordarão o Gigante Adamastor nas falésias que se desmoronam levando as praias e os Homens do mar mas também as canções das sereias da antiguidade.
Trinta e um ciclos de estações se sucederão aos dois milhares que já passaram quando surgirão as tempestades milenares.
Por entre tormentas e ciclones nunca vistos, turbilhões de vozes que não se ouvem mais.
E elas se sucedem uma e outra vez não poupando os dias nem as noites perdidas e muito menos os versos dos poetas esquecidos.
Não rezem aos céus pelos amores e glórias desaparecidas pois estes não ouvirão mais... Eordhyon foi libertado !

Another shot for the millennials and aging hippies that have their collective heads stuck in the sand (snow) and refuse to feel the burn ... pardon me ... the freeze. :-)
This was taken just outside Sally's Cove on Newfoundland's Great Northern Peninsula. The sea ice has been rafted up close to two stories high in places by the action of the wind, current, and tides.
A beautiful sight to see! And yes, that ice you see stretching far off into the distance reaches the other shore ... mainland Canada ... way over there somewhere. And it's not that piece of land you see sticking out on the right of the photo. That's just part of the Newfoundland coast a little farther north of where I was standing. No, this is definitely not just an ice cube or two in your whisky or gin and tonic.

Federation Pavilion, Centennial Park, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
On my last proper morning in Sydney (we are there for another night, but we are at the Airport, which doesn't count in my books) I went for a walk around Centennial Park which is located a couple of minutes walk from where we were staying.
I came across this building which was built in 1988, and is probably one of the most important buildings in Australia's history. But I don't think most Australians would recognise the building or know what it contains.
Inside this modern building is the Federation Stone, which marks the combining of the six independant states of Australia into the "Federal Commonwealth of Australia", on 1 January 1901. The birth of the nation as it were.
This building was built to mark the bicentennial of Australia and was designed by Alexander Thanes. The inscription on the sandstone frieze of the Pavilion, just below the dome, 'Mammon or Millennial Eden', is a paraphrased question posed in the poem "Australia" by Bernard O'Dowd, written in 1901.
St. Paul's Cathedral rises above the Millennial Bridge.

The Uros descend from a millennial town that, according to legends, are "pukinas" who speak Uro or Pukina and that believe they are the owners of the lake and water. Uros used to say that they have black blood because they did not feel the cold. Also they call themselves "Lupihaques" (Sons of The Sun). Nowadays, Uros do not speak the Uro language, nor practice their old beliefs but keep some old customs.[2]
The purpose of the island settlements was originally defensive, and if a threat arose they could be moved. The largest island retains a watchtower almost entirely constructed of reeds.[citation needed]
The Uros traded with the Aymara tribe on the mainland, intermarrying with them and eventually abandoning the Uro language for that of the Aymara. About 500 years ago they lost their original language. When conquered by the Inca empire, they had to pay taxes to them, and often were made (Wiki)

Yes I am a Millennial and yes I would hate me too if I talked like that. Been crashing at Iain 's place this week and after 3 months without my collection (moving from Canada to the UK) I was very excited to have a full LEGO room at my disposal. I was laying on the floor looking up at the ceiling and thinking of how I could build something with the MF that was different that all the current news and LEGO related hype on the internets. So avocado toast and pumpkin spiced latte falcon happened! Building the little social media ships was fun and of course cannot miss the selfie stick jab whenever I can.
This is an entry to The Brothers Brick Millennium Falcon contest. This will also be shown this weekend at my first BrickCon in Seattle!
Thanks to Iain for his collection, building the latte, mini Tie fighters and editing my stuff :D

Two icons of modern London, both as they were born around the turn of the century. The Millennium Wheel (as I still think of it) was opened to the public in March 2000, and Portcullis House opened its doors to the MPs of Westminster officially about a year later.
This area is always insanely busy, crammed with tourists, especially on a Saturday afternoon. However, if you raise the camera a little and zoom in you can pretend all the people aren't there, and focus on these neighbours who are just separated by the Thames ...
The shot was taken during my break yesterday.St Paul's Chapel is in the center and the Millennium Hotel is the structure with the reflection.
This trio of Millennial friends are having a nice, warm get-together over coffee and cigarettes at a Los Angeles coffee house. Not a human voice could be heard. The person in the foreground (and several others) appear to be some sort of androids with the electricity emerging from their skulls manifesting as colored lights. It looks good! What is odd is that they would get together and then start using their smart phones to.....do what? Message other people? Watch a baseball game?
This is odd and rude behavior where I come from. To me, this is no different than in 1973 getting together with a couple of friends after work and then everyone pulls out a paperback book and starts reading it or starts writing a letter to someone. Same thing. Exactly. What has changed is what is considered to be polite and thoughtful behavior as well as perhaps the degree of interest people actually have about their friends' lives.

Nikon D70 with Nikkor AF 35mm f/1.8
"Is it okay?? Will it explode??"
"You just need a jump! Your battery's dead. Try to start it now."
"It's dead!?! Did I kill it??"
"Bones, I told you not to help. Millennials cannot string rational thoughts together, much less manage an automobile."
"I know that, Ilia, but this is so simple! Listen... what did you say your name was??"
"Snowflake Easytrigger."
"Okay... Snowflake... your battery is de-... doesn't have a charge. So I have it hooked to my battery. Just try to start your Jeep and we should be able to jump it."
"You're going to jump my Jeep!?"
"Oh, for..."
"Just unhook the cables, Bones, and let's go. You may want to phase her also, to ease everyone's misery."
"When I drove it here, it was fine! Do you think this is because of climate change??"
"JUST START YOUR JEEP!!"
"You're yelling at me???"
"Where's that phaser...?"

Nikon D750, Nikon 16-35mm f/4, Lee Supper Stopper & 0.9 ND Grad Soft
at last I've managed to get out and get some photos! To get some practice in before going to London next week I took my camera into work hoping to get some long exposure shots in the middle of the day using Lee's Supper Stopper to get an shot around 8 minutes in length. I don't normally try photos at these sorts of lengths but its quite handy as it gets rid of all the people walking about the quayside in the middle of the day!
