A young elephant practicing his charging skills. Love the way he stirred up the dust and he flared his ears and ran towards us then abruptly stopped. Thankfully he was a young one and only testing...

It is not the moon, I tell you.
It is these flowers
lighting the yard.
I hate them.
I hate them as I hate sex,
the man's mouth
sealing my mouth, the man's
paralyzing body--
and the cry that always escapes,
the low, humiliating
premise of union--
In my mind tonight
I hear the question and pursuing answer
fused in one sound
that mounts and mounts and then
is split into the old selves,
the tired antagonisms. Do you see?
We were made fools of.
And the scent of mock orange
drifts through the window.
How can I rest?
How can I be content
while there is still
that odor in the world?

*I've wanted to do a shot on this concept, specifically this poem for a long time, finally. It is one of the most influential poems I've ever read.
*For those of you who may not know, mock oranges are also flowers that are often metaphorically associated with deception, false promises.
Mock beggers mansion more commonly known as Robin Hoods stride is a rock formation along The Limestone way in Derbyshire. From some angles it is said to resemble an old Mansion with the two pinnacles standing out like the chimneys
The little mock Tudor House in Soho Square gardens, London.
It was built in 1926, to hide the above-ground features of an electricity substation.
Snapped with a Fisheye Takumar 17mm f4.
Non-venomous, at least to humans (I have read that they have mild venom). Psammodynastes sp., Sabah, Malaysian Borneo

Hi Everyone, long time no see. My latest large scale build for Bright Bricks. 1:30 scale Mock Tudor House. It took about 4 weeks to build, several bricklink orders and it almost took my sanity, so I hope you like it ;)
There are some WIP photos on my MOCpage. The interior is a mass of support columns and beams to stop it twisting. The lower part of the external walls are made from 1x2 plates, which look great but when stacked this high cause lots of problems. Technically 3 plates stacked on top of each other are actually slightly taller than a brick. It is only a fraction but it adds up. To combat this I built the inner skin from bricks and the outer skin with the plates, every third brick (9 plates) I tied the walls together. This technique is actually very similar to real life cavity wall construction. I knew that surveying degree would come in useful one day ;).
The hallway is visible from the main window at the front of the house so I needed to include some interior details. For the rest of the house I blocked the windows out so you can not see inside.
I enjoyed building this house but it did get tedious by the end. The split levels and the sheer amount of windows and doors was a nightmare. I had to figure out a design for all the windows/doors before starting. I must admit I am very pleased with the outcome especially the plate work on the ground floor and the window lintels – so much snot work it almost drove me mad. Most importantly the client was over the moon with it.
Thanks for looking :D
Every year it seems different flowers bloom in my area. I noticed this year, the Mock Orange are blooming everywhere. This one is in my yard and it's the first year since moving here that it's bloomed. I was thinking of planting one in the yard, but now I don't have to.

Common Mock Viper (Psammodynastes pulverulentus) - Danum Valley, Malaysia
An older shot from my time in Malaysian Borneo, these little mock vipers were cool snakes. At first glance they do look a lot like a little viper and they do possess a weak venom which is of no real consequence to people although it does help subdue its prey of lizards and frogs. Finding my first one took a long time, then the next night in a totally different part of Sabah I found another one!
