Finally, my last eclipse image.
This is a composite of the images that I took as the moon covered the sun. The moon took the first bite out of the lower left of the sun's disk and the images proceed clockwise around to the bottom with my totality image in the center. The images then continue clockwise to the sun's disk with the small bite on the upper right.
The U.S. Capitol Exterior Stone and Metal Preservation Project is a multi-phased project designed to address deferred maintenance, extend the life expectancy of the deteriorated stone and to replace missing elements of the U.S. Capitol Building.

The Moon has phases because it orbits Earth, which causes the portion we see illuminated to change. The Moon takes 27.3 days to orbit Earth, but the lunar phase cycle (from new Moon to new Moon) is 29.5 days. The Moon spends the extra 2.2 days "catching up" because Earth travels about 45 million miles around the Sun during the time the Moon completes one orbit around Earth.

Rock and sandstone patterns, Panther Beach, Davenport California. Yes, its a bit of a mess, but kind of a pretty mess. The Taffoni-like sandstone patterns at this location have always attracted my eye, so I spent some time studying the patterns, settling on an abstract composition of this small alcove lit up by the sun just as it touched the horizon.

The images were taken with Jupiter 37A lens. Time lapse interval is 3 minutes between shots. I wanted to capture more phases, but cloudy skies interfered with my intentions. I believe that apparent different disk size is noticeable. The Super Moon was observed January 31 2018. The atmosphere affected the color rendition. Photoshop white balance is the same on all images.

Today, on the 2,775th anniversary of the Founding of Rome, it gives me great pleasure to announce the official launch of SPQR - Phase II!
Bursting forth from the northern edge of Phase I, Phase II will expand the historical diorama of 4th Century Imperial Rome in several crucial and exciting ways.
In topographical terms, Phase II will introduce two new hills of the fabled seven - the Quirinal & the Esquiline - on either end of its bidirectional tributaries.
Not to be mistaken for haphazard boundaries, the outlines of Phase II were once, in fact, major infrastructural corridors and are drawn along ancient roads and aqueducts. Far from forming a complete picture, these rugged boundaries emphasize the phasic approach to this entire project. QED.
The undulating hillsides between the two spurs will capture vast swaths of the Subura neighborhood, in all its sprawling, frenetic density.
There will, of course, be no shortage of monumental structures in Phase II! Included within its extents are the vividly polychrome Imperial Fora, Caracalla’s enormous Temple of Serapis, the Ludus Magna where gladiators trained beside the Colosseum, and no fewer than three imperial thermae complexes: the Baths of Titus, of Trajan and of Constantine.
While Phase II will add roughly 80% of the overall total land area depicted in the first phase, it is expected to match the 100,000 bricks used for the latter. What Phase II lacks in comparable surface area, it will more than make up for in volume due to the consistently higher elevations and corresponding substructure thickness.
Now, I must stress that none of this is a foregone conclusion. Victory loves hard work, but I continue to rely on your support to ensure my self-reliance as a one-man small business owner.
I humbly ask that you please consider supporting this unprecedented project by subscribing over on my Patreon page. No amount of support is too small. As I've expressed previously, it’s no exaggeration to say that subscriber-based platforms are virtually the only way to fund such long-term endeavors and to insulate the work from the fickle whims of big-tech algorithms.
But more importantly, it’s going to take a village to realize the fullest extents of this project. I can think of no better exhibition centerpiece than one which has been made possible through the generosity of so many.

An outbound Regional Rail train approaches Temple University station. In the background one can see the incredibly rare phase break position light signals, though somewhat obscured by catenary and signal bridges.
Amtrak P42 130, recently painted into the phase II heritage scheme, leads the California Zephyr westbound through Hinsdale. I never got a photo of Amtrak 66 in this scheme before it was involved in a grade crossing accident that ultimately ended it's serviceable life. This completes my list of Amtrak heritage units.

A few blue phase snow geese arriving.
Loess Bluffs National Wildlife Area with nearly 1,000,000 migrating snow geese. The count the day before was 928,721 and likely kept going up. Also 1500 trumpeter swans but only 20 eagles. Numbers will likely increase before they continue north. Had terrible focus and exposure issues, many photos unusable. Sorry for so many and so many similar ones, just saving to my album. No need to comment.
This corner building at the intersection of Santa Monica Boulevard reads as two buildings in conversation — and it essentially is. The left wing, visible behind the palm, betrays its earlier origins in the arched window openings, decorative corbelling, and ornate parapet detailing characteristic of late Beaux-Arts commercial construction from the early 20th century. The right mass — wider, flatter, more severe — is almost certainly a Depression-era or immediate postwar addition, its simplified pilasters and stripped classicism betraying a budget-conscious moment when ornament had fallen ideologically and economically out of fashion. What makes this photograph particularly effective is how the floodlighting collapses both phases into a single luminous object against the void of the night sky. The "For Lease" signage quietly tells the real story of Santa Monica's post-pandemic retail corridor — a street that once commanded some of the highest rents on the Westside now negotiating its own relevance. The wet pavement, motion-blurred pedestrians, and starburst streetlights give the scene a classic nocturne quality. Shot from the opposing corner, I used the full diagonal of the intersection to capture the building's massing in genuine three-quarter elevation — the proper way to read a corner building.
This was fun to do! So I'll do my other dolls as well~ All of them are not as long as Zephii's LOL!
1. He arrived to me after a 4-month layaway via DDE! Blank & fresh resin!
2. I sent him off to AngelToast after having him home for only like 2 days! Then he came back and I was utterly IN LOVE.
3. Tried a black Crobi wig on him!
4. He went back to his wine wig and I also tried gray 12mm eyes on him.
5. Didn't like the gray on him so he went back to his brown eyes, but now they were 12mm!
6. Got him a beautiful dragon tattoo with the Kanji for "courage" painted by the amazing Vitta-Vera/Tsuminaki!
7. Sadly, Brink's eyeshadow was chipped, so I sent him back to AngelToast for repair! The only difference, really, is his eyebrows, they match his hair a bit more now :) 'cause she's amazing like that!
8. Got my boy some 12mm Mako eyes (IB-009)!
