In continuation of the (sort of) tale, Syncretio who seems to have a bit of a "complicated thing" going with Xiamara, goes for a head clearing walk in the park. Where he encounters Alpho, the wolfess, who immediately pounces upon him with an acerbic little homily concerning the wickedness of his ways. (He is the one who is being difficult here. Xia, for once, is totally in the clear!). Not being in a fit state to deal with her by himself (he is kinda drunk), he does what any avatar with half a brain would do under the circumstances: He logs in his alt! hhh (Who incidentally, is played by me.).
Meanwhile Grapho, Amina and Syncretia are off in the distance, having nice little constitutionals and reunions and break-ups and heartaches and what not...

Strelitzia is a genus of five species of perennial plants, native to South Africa. The genus is named after the duchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, birthplace of Queen Charlotte of the United Kingdom. The common name of the genus is bird of paradise flower, because of a supposed resemblance of its flowers to the bird of paradise. In South Africa it is commonly known as a "crane" flower.
The species S. nicolai is the largest in the genus, reaching 10 m tall; the other species typically reach 2-6 m tall. The leaves are large, 30-200 cm long and 10-80 cm broad, similar to a banana leaf in appearance but with a longer petiole, and arranged strictly in two ranks to form a fan-like crown of evergreen foliage. The flowers are produced in a horizontal inflorescence emerging from a stout spathe. They are pollinated by sunbirds, which use the spathe as a perch when visiting the flowers; the weight of the bird on the spathe opens it to release the pollen onto the bird's feet, which is then deposited on the next flower it visits.

Monday morning wake up knowing that youve got to go to school
Tell your mum what to expect, she says its right out of the blue
Do you went to work in debenhams, because thats what they expect
Start in lingerie, and doris is your supervisor
And the head said that you always were a queer one from the start
For careers you say you went to be remembered for your art
Your obsessions get you known throughout the school for being strange
Making life-size models of the velvet underground in clay
In the queue for lunch they take the piss, youve got no appetite
And the rumour is you never go with boys and you are tight
So they jab you with a fork, you drop the tray and go berserk
While your cleaning up the mess the teachers looking up your skirt
Youve been used, youre confused
Write a song, Ill sing along
Are you calm? settle down
Soon you will know that you are sane
Youre on top of the world again
Monday morning wake up knowing that youve got to go to school
Mum said she had little choice when she was young, so why should you?
Do you went to work in c&a, cause thats what they expect
Move to ladieswear and take a feel off joe the storeman
Tell veronica the secrets of the boy you never kissed
Shes got everything to gain cause shes a fat girl with a lisp
She sticks up for you when you get aggravation from the snobs
cause you cant afford a blazer and youre always wearing clogs
At the interval you lock yourself away inside a room
Heed of english gets you, asks you, what the hell do you think youre doing?
Do you think youre better then the other kids? well get outside.
Youve got permission, but youve got to make the bastard think hes right

I got out of school early today to go to an orthodontist appointment to make a date to get my braces off!
I'm getting them off in 6 weeks :]
Very exciting. Which means theyll be off by HALLOWEEN! :D
I just have to wear 6 rubber bands for 6 weeks straight :p
Whatever, its worth it :]
I'm trying to post once a week, at least... as dodo05 adviced me so. (And thank you also for the title , love it. =)
Sometimes I'm just too lazy to grab my camera and try something new... but it's totally worthy the hours that I spend trying it when I like the final result.
In 3weeks I'm gonna start my school again, and I have to decide my masters' major, I really don't know if I prefer marketing or strategy. I like both, maybe I have a light preference over strategy. Any advice? Experience? =/
Again, who's on twitter? Let me know... I'm still trying to discover its usefulness.
(And try this one On Black, I really like it.)
A good week... and eat bilberries, they make us younger.

Well it looks like I will be moving out of the Bay Area and it's looking more and more likely I will be returning to the foothills near Yosemite. We are excited about it but man I hate moving so I decided to bum this one back up on my photostream. This is one of my first and still most popular shots. Can't wait to be back in the woods.
If you have chosen to enter Yosemite from the south entrance along Highway 41 you will first get a few fleeting glimpses around the bends of the Valley that will cause you to wonder if what you just saw was real. It seems too big, too distant. Surely your eyes are just playing tricks on you. The trees will quickly obscure your view and you will drive along directly into the face of the mountains via Yosemite's longest tunnel. Because it's such a long tunnel and you may begin to relax but grip the wheel tight as you approach the exit for the view you are about to see will wrench your eyes from the road in disbelief!
There is good reason for the flashing yellow light warning you to slow. Suddenly before you lies an impossibly massive scene of snow topped granite towers, soaring waterfalls and pristine forests. Possibly the most photographed icon of nature lies before you an impossible view simply called Inspiration Point though some refer to it as the tunnel view. A "U" shaped glacier valley lies a thousand feet below you. To the left of the image, the impressive, largest single piece of exposed granite called El Capitan is the most dominate object in Yosemite Valley. Early explorers, unable to believe their eyes, estimated the rock at only 900ft above the valley floor. They simply could not fathom it's real height. Modern measurements eventually put it well over three times that height at nearly 3000 feet above Yosemite Valley. To the right, a towering waterfall whipped by the blowing winds in the narrow canyon appropriately named Bridal Veil Falls. While not the tallest, it is definitely one of the more beautiful waterfalls in Yosemite. In the far distance, another seemingly impossible large chunk of granite cut in half by the glaciers appropriately named Half Dome rises above the valley. But it's not over yet, you have only begun the start of a dream like drive that will take you all the way up the valley past numerous waterfalls, the meandering Merced River and lead you to Yosemite Falls which will makes Bridal Veil Falls look like a tiny trickle of water. If you are a photographer, you could easily spend your day at the entrance as the scene will change by the minute, especially in winter, but push on, as there is much to see.
Winter and early spring in Yosemite are a quiet time and possibly the best for photography if you don't mind driving on cliff walls in the snow. The summer crowds have yet to arrive. The campgrounds are empty and except for a few cars driving though the valley the roads are clear. And though you may stick to the outhouse seats there are few drawbacks to visiting during this time of year provided you bring the proper gear for you and your car. If you can, plan your visits to coincide with the breaking of a winter storm. Yosemite staff are good at keeping the roads open and you have a good chance of getting the proper conditions for some stunning photography as the clouds break. I spent 5 years of my life living just outside the park. My only regret is that digital photography was only in its infancy at the time.

This fishing boat, Sea Breeze, suddenly appeared out of the fog from the ocean into the Noyo Harbor weighed down with the day's catch. I was a bit intriqued with what was in the baskets in back so zoomed in as he passed by. He was loaded with Sea Urchins, a delicacy of the ocean. After reading about Sea Urchins and their culinary contribution, I'm afraid I'm not a fan. I'll remember them more for the beautiful little sea creatures we found in the tide pools at McKerrichter State Beach.

Chilodonella es un ciliado de pequeño tamaño representado por varias especies tanto de agua dulce como salada repartidas por todo el Planeta. Se incluyen entre éstas formas de vida libre y de alimentación omnívora, pero también un reducido número de parásitas que pueden causar enfermedades en los peces o en las larvas de algunos mosquitos.
Chilodonella se caracteriza por su pico redondeado y por tener un aparato bucal en forma de canasta, como Nassula, con el que aspiran, pequeños restos orgánicos, algas y bacterias. La canasta que constituye la faringe de este ciliado está formada por una varillas que forman un cilindro. Éste se abre por la parte ventral para estar en contacto con el fondo sobre el que Chilodonella se desplaza. Cada una de las varillas que forman esta canasta finaliza engrosándose en una pequeña cabeza que es móvil y que permite a Chilodonella manipular su alimento.
Sobre el aparato bucal de Chilodonella se sitúa una sutura oblicua que se extiende hasta el extremo del pico y que está constituida por una barrera ciliada. La parte ventral de Chilodonella es plana y está recorrida por varias hileras de cilios, la dorsal está abultada formando una pequeña joroba que se aplasta en la porción anterior y presenta líneas cruzadas con otros cilios muy cortos que se disponen en sus inmediaciones y en la zona de la periferia.
Algunas especies de Chilodonella como Chilodonella cyprini viven en el agua dulce y parasitan las células epiteliales de algunos peces, haciendo que su piel pierda brillo y cause posteriormente graves ulceraciones. Otras, como Chilodonella uncinata pueden causar infecciones mortales en las larvas de algunos mosquitos del género Culex y Anopheles, que viven en humedales, fundamentalmente arrozales y zonas pantanosas del continente asiático y que como vectores de virus transmiten al hombre, entre otras, enfermedades como la encefalitis japonesa.
El desarrollo de Chilodonella uncinata en las regiones en las que la encefalitis japonesa es una enfermedad endémica, podría ser un buen mecanismo del control de la enfermedad al limitar la proliferación de los mosquitos que son sus vectores de transmisión.
Chilodonella procede de una muestra de agua recogida en un pequeño arroyo en las inmediaciones de Mahíde, en la comarca zamorana de Aliste y ha sido fotografiada a 400 aumentos empleando la técnica de contraste de interferencia.

This lovely sculpture is by the muse of Rodin, Camille Claudel. It has been widely described as a minor masterpiece and was conceived and executed while she and Rodin were lovers, though the affair ended badly and was a tragic foretelling of her future life. There was a beautiful orchestral piece of the same name written some 30 years later that expresses the piece quite well, though there is no link or view of any connected inspiration.
La Valse, un poème choréographique (a choreographic poem), is an orchestral work written by Maurice Ravel In his tribute to Ravel after the composer's death in 1937, Paul Landormy described the work as follows:
"....the most unexpected of the compositions of Ravel, revealing to us heretofore unexpected depths of Romanticism, power, vigor, and rapture in this musician whose expression is usually limited to the manifestations of an essentially classical genius".

Feeling down, alone, and empty inside,
Decisions to make, but can't decide,
Hurt from pain of a broken heart,
Days go on as if they are dark,
Looking for happiness, the light to return,
My soul feels empty, deceptive, a burn.
~ Vince Milford
Making this photo I had many different meanings in mind. Then I found this poem and it really solidified the connection I saw in both.
I went into the woods one day to location scout and found this tree had fallen. It was large and it took me by surprise. How did I not hear it fall as it tumbled to the ground? What was its cause of death? Something so grand which towered over me now lies broken upon the ground I walk; its limbs which once reached towards Heaven now dig into the earth
It's ironic how this correlates with people - keeping to themselves, not speaking a word, until it is too late.
Listen Someday - The Coors
Fragments of a love, that's all we have
What we had was fantasy, dreams and photographs
Hypnotic melodies could sing our song
A comfortable rhythm in a comfortless world
How do you know when love has gone ?
There's so much more within me
How do you know the passion's gone ?
I know I just don't feel it !
How do you know when love has gone ?
Oh baby !
How do you know the passion's gone ?
I know we have to move along
Someday you'll forget me, someday you'll forget me
Someday you'll forget me, someday you'll forget me
A fragrant memory is soon to fade
We lived our love of make believe, dreams and fairy tales
Now we say goodbye, habitual romance
A rose without her petals and a song without a dance
How do you know when love has gone ?
There's so much more within me
How do you know the passion's gone ?
I know I just don't feel it !
How do you know when love has gone ?
Oh baby !
How do you know the passion's gone ?
I know we have to move along
Someday you'll forget me, someday you'll forget me
Someday you'll forget me, someday you'll forget me
How do you know when love has gone ?
The song has gone within me
How do you know when passion's gone ?
I know we have to move along
Someday you'll forget me, someday you'll forget me
Someday you'll forget me, someday you'll forget me
Someday you'll forget me, someday you'll forget me
Someday you'll forget me, someday you'll forget me
Las casas están construídas con gran armonía entre la montaña y como es natural son calles estrechas y enpinadas. El término se extiende por el altiplano de Collsacabra, las sierras de Tavertet y los riscos de Aiats y Falgars. Si bien en la economía tradicional es la agricultura de secano (cereales, legumbres, forrajes, patatas y maíz) y la ganadería eran las principales actividades, en la actualidad, el turismo constituye la mayor fuente de ingresos. El desarrollo del fenómeno turístico ha conllevado la aparición de numerosos establecimientos comerciales y restaurantes que ofrecen al turista de verano o de fin de semana todos los servicios necesarios, como el Hostal Estrella que se encuentra en el centro de Rupit.
Una carretera local comunica el término con la C-153. En el núcleo urbano pueden admirarse edificios de los siglos XVI y XVII, de piedra, con ventanales de tipo gótico o gótico tardío y portales dovelados con antiguas inscripciones, la calle del Fossar es la más típica. El castillo de Rupit se alza sobre un espolón rocoso. La iglesia de Sant Miquel de Rupit, es de estilo barroconeoclásico. Palacio de la notaría de los Soler, con jardín colgante. Capilla de Santa Magdalena, del siglo XVII. La iglesia románica de Sant Joan de Fábregues, a 4 kilómetros de la población. Las masías son de notable interés (la Sala, el Colell, Mas Corriol). Pruit, cuenta con la iglesia románica de Sant Andreu (de los siglos XII - XIII). Iglesia románica de Sant Lloreno; Dosmunts, cerca del gran Mas de les Viles. Masías del Bac de Collsacabra, la Cassassa de Pruit y Comajoan

A group of 15 Sandhill Cranes are coming into the river region to roost on the sandbars at night! By staying on the sandbars they are protected from predators by the surrounding waters!
Nothing speaks to me more of the upcoming Earth Day than the annual migration of the Sandhill Cranes that moves into Nebraska in the early Spring! This is the second photo from my recent trip to view this wonderful show from Mother Nature!
One of the great wildlife spectacles in North America begins in mid-February, as hundreds of thousands of Sandhill Cranes arrive along the Platte River between Kearney and Grand Island, Nebraska.
Sandhill Cranes are among the oldest living birds on the planet. Fossil records place cranes in Nebraska more than nine million years ago, long before there was a Platte River, which by comparison, is a youthful 10,000 years of age.
Their numbers build throughout March and peak about St. Patrick's Day. All the cranes stay within an 80 mile wide stretch of river at the Platte and start leaving for their breeding grounds in Canada, Alaska and Siberia in early April. As many as a quarter million cranes may be present at one time, and during the spring, about half a million will stop on the river.
Individual birds spend about 29 days in the area. They forage on corn left over from the previous year and eat earthworms and snails as well. Each bird gains a pound of fat — fuel for the remainder of its migration.

En el Gobierno nacional amenazan a Mauricio Macri con responder a sus reclamos para que les traslade la jurisdicción sobre el Transporte en la Ciudad, con entregarle el Subte, pero sin los 400 millones de subsidios. Lo concreto es que más allá de las chicanas, acordaron crear una comisión que por 60 días evalúe y trate de acordar los temas en discusión. El Paseo del Bicentenario que reclamó Cristina.

Texto: Por Ignacio Fidanza para La Politica Online.
“Si querés el Subte no hay problema, te lo damos ya, pero sin los subsidios”, cruzó al jefe de Gobierno porteño un ministro, en la reunión que mantuvo con la presidenta Cristina Kirchner, el ministro del Interior Florencio Randazzo y el jefe de Gabinete, Aníbal Fernández.
Como era previsible Macri se negó, pero la idea quedó rebotando en los principales despachos de Bolívar 1. Es que todas las líneas del subte porteño, que opera Metrovías, reciben un subsidio anual de unos 400 millones de pesos. Si se les quitara este auxilio la tarifa pasaría de $ 1,10 a 2,45 mínimo.
Pero en el gobierno porteño hay quienes se entusiasman con la idea y –halcones de la popularidad ajena- hasta se arriesgan a proponer una tarifa de $ 3, para hacer obras. No es poco dinero. El Subte mueve 1,5 millones de personas por día, a 50 personas por pasajeros por día, no cuesta imaginar la masa de dinero que rápidamente Macri podría conseguir para empezar a cumplir su promesa de extender la red de subtes, y que hoy le traba la Nación. El costo político de triplicar la tarifa es obvio.
“Esto tiene dos lecturas, sería una jugada demasiado audaz, no es del estilo de Macri. Pero un político transgresor podría aceptar los subtes sin subsidio, subir las tarifas, hacer las obras y quizás termina de Presidente”, arriesgó un experimentado operador del sector del Transporte.
En el gobierno nacional también hay halcones y palomas en este asunto. Medio en serio medio en broma, algunos proponer “tirarle el Subte por la cabeza a Macri”, sin subsidios, y luego que el jefe de Gobierno se vea obligado a subir la tarifa; hacer lo propio con colectivos y trenes de manera de empezar a aligerar la cada vez más insostenible carga fiscal de la montaña de subsidios que armó Ricardo Jaime.
Frente a esta posición, sectores mas moderados proponen ir aligerando por motus propio la carga de subsidios, de manera consensuada con Macri, combinándolo con graduales aumentos de tarifa, hasta llegar a un mix de tarifa y subsidios que sea aceptable para el jefe de Gobierno y ahí sí concretar la transferencia.
En esta línea se inscribe la decisión de crear una comisión mixta entre el gobierno nacional y el porteño, para intentar acordar en el término de 60 días la mayoría de los temas de competencias que enfrentan a ambas jurisdicciones, entre ellos el Subte.
Por parte del Gobierno de la Ciudad participarán de esta negociación que se está empezando a delinear, el jefe de Gabinete Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, y el ministro de Desarrollo Urbano, Daniel Chaín, del otro lado del mostrador lo esperará un viejo conocido, el actual secretario de Transporte, Juan Pablo Schiavi.

The Empire State Building is a 102-story Art Deco skyscraper in New York, NY on the intersection of 5th Ave and W 34th Street. Its name is derived from the nickname for the state of New York. It stood as the world's tallest building for more than forty years, from its completion in 1931 until the construction of the World Trade Center North Tower topped out on December 23, 1970, and is now once again the tallest building in New York after the destruction of the World Trade Center in the September 11, 2001 attacks.

I swear I must be medically unstable or something, my stream is like a jumble or different crazy people all thrown together!
We managed to find a beach this evening and watched the sun set over the mountains, I think it has to be up there with one of the most stunning views I've ever seen. Sadly, it didn't entirely distract me from the fact that there was almost a foot of snow in places behind me and I had my feet in freezing water :P
The weather was amazing today, starting to wish I could ditch England and it's lovely rain :P I seem to be permanently boiling at the moment so am skiing in a tshirt, oh and the tomato tone facial state is getting increasingly worse :/ I'm going to have to start doing bw photos soon or something haha
Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend :)

The Common Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes), also known as the Robust Chimpanzee, is a great ape. The name troglodytes, Greek for 'cave-dweller', was coined by Johann Friedrich Blumenbach in his Handbuch der Naturgeschichte (Handbook of Natural History) published in 1779. Colloquially, it is often called the chimpanzee (or simply 'chimp'), though technically this term refers to both species in the genus Pan: the Common Chimpanzee and the closely-related Bonobo, or Pygmy Chimpanzee.
Common Chimpanzees are found in the tropical forests and wet savannas of Western and Central Africa. They once inhabited most of this region, but their habitat has been dramatically reduced in recent years.
Human and Common Chimpanzee DNA is very similar. The DNA sequence differences between humans and chimpanzees is about thirty-five million single-nucleotide changes, five million insertion/deletion events, and various chromosomal rearrangements. Typical human and chimp protein homologs differ in only an average of two amino acids. About 30% of all human proteins are identical in sequence to the corresponding chimp protein. Duplications of small parts of chromosomes have been the major source of differences between human and chimp genetic material; about 2.7% of the corresponding modern genomes represent differences, produced by gene duplications or deletions, during the approximately four to six million years since humans and chimps diverged from their common evolutionary ancestor.

CASTELLANO
El chimpancé común (Pan troglodytes) es una especie perteneciente a los grandes simios. Los chimpancés son los parientes más cercanos al ser humano; su rama evolutiva se separó de la rama de los humanos hace aproximadamente 7 millones de años y comparten el 96% del ADN con ellos, lo que ha llevado a Jared Diamond a utilizar el término "el tercer chimpancé" para referirse a nuestra propia especie.
Podemos encontrar chimpancés en las selvas tropicales y sabanas húmedas de África central y occidental. Solían habitar la mayor parte de esta región, pero su hábitat ha sido drásticamente reducido en los últimos años.
Los chimpancés adultos pueden medir hasta 130 cm (hembras) y 160 cm (machos), y los adultos pesan entre 40 y 70 kg, aunque poseen una fuerza muy superior a la humana. Sus cuerpos están cubiertos por un pelaje grueso de color marrón oscuro, con excepción del rostro, dedos, palmas de la mano y plantas del pie. Tanto sus pulgares como el dedo grande del pie son oponibles, permitiendo un agarre preciso. La gestación del chimpancé dura ocho meses. Las crías son destetadas aproximadamente a la edad de tres años, pero generalmente mantienen una relación cercana con su madre por varios años más. La pubertad es alcanzada a la edad de ocho a diez años y su esperanza de vida es de 50 años en cautiverio.

Io seguo la notte
Non posso sopportare la luce
Quando comincerò a vivere ancora?
Un giorno volerò via lasciando tutto questo al passato......
.........Perché vivere la vita di sogno in sogno temendo il giorno in cui i sogni finiranno?
I follow the night
Can't stand the light
When will I begin to live again?
One day I'll fly away leave all this to yesterday.........
..........Why live life from dream to dream and dread the day when dreaming ends?

by Thomas Moore
I saw from the beach, when the morning was shining,
A bark o'er the waters move gloriously on;
I came when the sun o'er that beach was declining,
The bark was still there, but the waters were gone.
And such is the fate of our life's early promise,
So passing the spring-tide of joy we have known;
Each wave that we danced on at morning ebbs from us,
And leaves us, at eve, on the bleak shore alone.
Oh, who would not welcome that moment's returning
When passion first waked a new life through his frame,
And his soul, like the wood that grows precious in burning,
Gave out all its sweets to love's exquisite flame.

DO NOT KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH FLICKR, SO PLEASE, ONLY HERE will you see it CORRECTLY! A MUST on HERE
Wherever we go in the world, it is especially the sea that attracts us most.
We're always drawn to the harbouur, not to admire the big luxury yachts, no, the fishing harbour, the working boats, the people, the different methods they use.
The netting depends obviously on the type of catch they fish for. The majority of rigged nets are made to order, allowing fishermen to have exactly the right net for their needs.
Here, in England and the North, the size of the mesh is often bigger than what we saw here in Spain.
I fell in love with this scene when I saw it!
The colours, aahh, everything!
Of course I took a whole selection, this is only the first one.
I am going to continue with our 'days in Spain', right now, I have to do other things...
Thank you for your comments and time.
Enjoy and make the BEST of every day! Thanx, M, (*_*)

The Atlantis is a German tourist steamer, which was from the HADAG - Hamburg Steamship Corporation - for the Helgoland service between Cuxhaven and Heligoland ordered by Bremer Rolandwerft. Following the bankruptcy of the shipyard, the ship was towed to Kiel, where it was finished from the HDW shipyard .
The keel laying took place on 15 May 1971, the launching on 19 February 1972 and the completion of the ship in July 1972.
After a change of ownership and many years in the Baltic Sea, the ship is now on the route Cuxhaven - Heligoland. Owner of the ship, the shipping company Cassen Eils, Cuxhaven.

Magma from the mantle intruded the deep crust and cooled slowly. Pyroxene and olivine started to crystallize from the magma. Since these where heavier than the surrounding magma, they sank to the bottom of the magma chamber where they became layered. Later, the remaining melt intruded higher levels of the continental crust, where it cooled and crystallised as tønsbergite, larvikite or lardalite. Some million years later the rock was carved and polished by glaciers during the ice age.

Hay muchas cosas que nos pueden inspirar: una foto, un libro, un comentario, un sueño, un abrazo, un beso.
En este caso, esta vez la inspiración vino de una escena de Avatar.
Es solo cuestión de dejarse llevar.

306 days to go before my next trip to the Philippines
p.s. quite a few have asked about the "accidental magic". this was not a planned shot - i hardly, if ever, "stage" my shots. i was arranging a bunch of flowers i bought from the supermarket. misted them (force of habit), lay down a few of the daisies on a tray which happened to be mirrored. kept arranging. and as i was about to pick up the daisies i saw this. out came the camera and the macro lens. framed the shot "in camera" and snapped without a tripod. simple process really.
One more entry for the SteamWars Madness on FBTB. But the last one.
After some great weeks the building contest on FBTB comes to an end. There were six rounds and each single one was a new challenge. This round was no different.
With no given category this time my decision fell on the iconic Boonta-Eve on Tatooine. All contest long i wanted a Podracer, but it wasn't allowed to build it in the "Speeder"-category. Now I finally was able to do so.
I don't just switched everything of metal into wood, but also changed Watto's Junkyard into a victorian JunkVilla.
I hope you like my take in this topic.
Because this is the last model of a Steampunk-series, i want to take the chance to thank the FBTB-team for hosting this great contest, all contestants for building so many cool entries and last but not least the people that voted for my creations and postet some great feedback here on flickr. :)
