On our last morning in Anchorage, we decided to pass some time planespotting out at Point Woronzof, before we returned the rental car. I was pschyed to see a Coast Guard HC-130J squeeze in between the parade of 747s and depart off runway 33, presumably returning home to the air station on Kodiak Island.
Based on where this and a similar plane were parked on the ramp, I suspect they were ferried to Anchorage for heavy maintenance that couldn't be done at Kodiak.
Ernest Salu is the name of three Brussels stone sculptors specialized in funerary sculpture. Their well-known family stone cutting business was located in Laeken, and existed for more than a century, from 1872 to 1984. Laken Cemetery next door was their 'showroom'.
This is their former workshop, now a funerary art museum.

No ropes, one or two Marshalls and lots of flying debris, dust, Flotsam and Jetsam and at least a couple of hats!
Incredible!

Two mute swans take off. Only after I started photographing birds like this taking off did I realize that part of the process is running on the water. Seen at Lake Erie Metropark, near where the Detroit River meets Lake Erie.
Pling, an email. Pling, a text. Pling, a discord notification. Sometimes it's a bit much, isn't it?
The second round of this year’s RogueOlympics over on RogueBricks was about exploring the 'Internet'.
I had barely any time last week for the ROs - some three hours on a Sunday night was all that I could manage. So here's a simple little tale about ignoring the internet, I guess.
Can you recognise all the services that the minifigure is walking away from?
The RogueOlympics require you to stick to 101 elements or less so this little scene was built with a total of 98 bricks. It’s always great fun to work around those restrictions as it’s so different from most other contests, so of course I had to join.
Six more rounds to go, we barely started! Feel free to join in on the fun!

Tasted great, with a tad of sweetness like jam actually.

Hey guys,
First of all I want to wish all of you an happy New Year! I hope there is a wonderful year ahead of us all. 2015 was the shittiest year in my life but an incredible one at the same time. As most of you already know, my grandfather died this year and it really affected me. It affected me so much that I put most people away from me. It was a mistake and I want to say sorry to everybody that may have been affected by what I said or did. Even though this happened, I got through it and I became a better version of myself, a version of myself who wants to succeed. After my dark times, I made a bunch of new friends and became much more confident. I'm working on a bunch of figs and I'm officially back. All the figs there are the result of the hardwork I did throughout 2015. Hope you like them all! I tagged my best buddies over the communauty down bellow. (If I forgot you, feel free to tag yourself in!) Thanks to Logan for the beautiful editing. Love ya'll! 2016, ready or not, here I come.

Cheers to the New Year,
Hugo.
I borghi più belli d'Italia
The most beautiful villages in Italy
Les plus beaux bourgs d'Italie
Civita è una frazione del comune di Bagnoregio, in provincia di Viterbo, nel Lazio, facente parte dei borghi più belli d'Italia, famosa per essere denominata "La città che muore".
Civita venne fondata 2500 anni fa dagli Etruschi. Sorge su una delle più antiche vie d'Italia, congiungente il Tevere (allora grande via di navigazione dell'Italia Centrale) e il lago di Bolsena.
All'antico abitato di Civita si accedeva mediante cinque porte, mentre oggi la porta detta di Santa Maria o della Cava, costituisce l'unico accesso al paese. La struttura urbanistica dell'intero abitato è di origine etrusca, costituita da cardi e decumani secondo l'uso etrusco e poi romano, mentre l'intero rivestimento architettonico risulta medioevale e rinascimentale.
Civita was founded by Etruscans more than 2,500 years ago.
The location of his boyhood house has long since fallen off the edge of the cliff. By the 16th century, Civita was beginning to decline, becoming eclipsed by its former suburb Bagnoregio.
At the end of the 17th century, the bishop and the municipal government were forced to move to Bagnoregio because of a major earthquake that accelerated the old town's decline. At that time, the area was part of the Papal States. In the 19th century, Civita's location was turning into an island and the pace of the erosion quickened as the layer of clay below the stone was reached in the area where today's bridge is situated. Bagnoregio continues as a small but prosperous town, while Civita became known in Italian as il paese che muore ("the town that is dying"). Civita has only recently been experiencing a tourist revival.
The population today varies from about 12 people in winter to more than 100 in summer.

'Time Off' was yet again a very Beatles inspired fashion for Paul, with a brown, collarless suede jacket. It is magnificently well made and fully lined with beige silk.
He wore a long sleeved checkered shirt under it, with a yellow string tie made of cord and beige rather slim trousers. The red socks speaks of the swinging 60s where they boldly stick up from the brown Chelsea boots.
It was sold with a blue, denim duffle bag with a white cord strap. Perfect for all his 'Time Off' activities.
(This set also included a tiny poster for 'Cliff Warwick and the Dollybeats' latest pop concert.)

Me: Hi Pete! Where are you heading off to?
Pete: Oh hello Sky, I had some time off and thought I'd pop down to the indoor cricket pitch for a game.
Me: One doesn't "pop" in for a game of cricket, they take at least three hours of complicated walkabouts, shouting and random outbursts of ball hitting.
Pete: Ha ha, not a sports person are you!
Me: Not really no. Unless it's a sport not to fancy sport?
Pete: Could be. May I offer you a lift? Unless you also disapprove of sports cars and their occupants?
Me: Ha ha, very slick my dear gent, but I have to decline. I'm actually here to have tea with your mum.
Pete: *Snicker* So that's why she wanted me out of the house. Cheerio then!
