Here are some close-ups of the ironclad USS Monitor, as depicted by floodllama for the Battle of Bricksburg at BrickCon 2015.
The gun barrels are a BrickArms exclusive for this collaboration. Thanks, Will!
The South Florida Water Management District has an extensive network of monitoring stations to collect hydrologic and water quality data. Routine maintenance of the stations often takes field technicians to remote sites, such as this one in the Big Cypress National Preserve that is only accessible by helicopter.
For this stark, spellbinding episode of Room 205, director Luis Farfan worked closely with director of photography Conor Simpson, set designer Tamarra Younis, editor Forrest Borie and sound engineer Jon Gilbert to capture the band's mesmerizing live performance while crafting a world of abstract symbols, ambient sounds and cinematic contrasts, entirely elegant and arresting in their own right.
BIO
Los Angeles based artist Camella Lobo has been quietly releasing music under the moniker Tropic Of Cancer since 2009. Drenched in romanticism and soaked in themes of solitude, mortality and love, her music forms a strangely hypnotic connection with its listener. Lobo’s majestic vocals, warmly cradled by waves of ascending synths, plangent guitar, and foreboding beats, summon the listener into a world of dark decadence and delicate beauty. Formerly a duo with minimal electronic artist, Silent Servant, Lobo has enlisted the assistance of Taylor Burch to help execute her music in a live setting.

The USS Monitor was the revolutionary all iron design with the world's first nautical rotating gun turret. It was designed by John Ericsson and financed and promoted to the Navy by Madison's Cornelius Scranton Bushnell. When the Union learned that the Confederates were building an iron clad ship to fight against Federal blockades of Southern ports, it quickly countered with the Monitor. See www.madisonhistory.org/uss-monitor/ for the whole story. The Monitor's most notable engagement was against the CSS Virginia (a.k.a USS Merrimack) during America's Civil War at Hampton Roads, Va. in March of 1862.
This is a large (1/4"=1' scale) museum-quality wooden model of the USS Monitor in its battle-ready appearance. The model was built in the early 1970's by Arthur G. Henning, Inc, 17 South 3rd Ave., Mount Vernon, NY 10550, to exact measurements from archival blueprints. It is a duplicate of the model ship on display at the Smithsonian, which the Henning firm also produced. According to the firm, ours has more detail inside the turret. The ship model includes an anchor and the Ericsson-designed propellor. Painted flat black with red-lead colored hull. The ship model is 43 1/2" long X 10 3/4" wide X 6 1/2" high. It was commissioned by Dr. Philip S. Platt, a previous MHS President, in 1974 for $1,200. It was donated by him to be part of the 1974 MHS exhibit about Cornelius Bushnell and the Monitor.

This Royal Observer Corps monitoring post was built during the Cold War in the fist wave of construction in 1957. It was manned by 4 (presumably local) volunteers as part of a national network of evenly spread subterranean posts protected from nuclear fallout by a reinforced eight inch thick concrete roof and compacted earth expected to reduce radiation levels to 1,500:1. The posts were all constructed to the same specification based on a 1957 prototype estimated to cost £1,000 each with metering instrument vents, telecommunications and an air filtering system designed to feed the ROC with accurate data on radiation levels across the country. The post also had a toilet, bunk beds and provisions. The post was eventually closed in 1968.

After getting ribbings for my elaborate monitor setup, I posted this pic to my old gaming forum after photoshopping a few extra monitors into the mix.
Wildflowers are hard to beat in the Sierra Nevada. This image was taken on BLM-manged public lands south of Monitor Pass at about 8,000 feet. Additional blooms appear at higher elevations across the Sierra as well as the Great Basin (Bodie Hills, Nevada etc.) The Monitor Pass area is a mix of USFS and BLM lands with a number of two-track roads offering opportunities for exploring on foot or 4-WD.

Although he made a pretty quick getaway, being a reptile, he needs to stop and rest every few steps. And that's what he did, putting out his long tongue in the process, true reptile fashion. Water monitors can be defensive, using their tails, claws, and jaws when fighting. They are excellent swimmers, using the raised fin on their tails to steer through water. They are carnivores, and have a wide range of foods. They are known to eat fish, frogs, rodents, birds, crabs, and snakes. They have also been known to eat turtles, as well as young crocodiles and crocodile eggs. Like the Komodo dragon, they will often eat carrion. Water monitors have been observed eating catfish in a fashion similar to a mammalian carnivore, tearing off chunks of meat with their sharp teeth while holding it with their fore legs and then separating different parts of the fish for sequential consumption.

Cost-effective pasture management practices in Kyrgyzstan are helping to reduce negative impacts of livestock grazing on land and improve rural livelihoods.
The project is also working on attracting farmers to distant pastures by installing green technologies, including six mini hydropower stations and 18 solar energy stations. This equipment helps to improve the livelihoods of families and shepherds working in distant pastures.
