Street sculpture with a difference !!!
It is not everyday you see a Martian tripod walking down the street - but this is Woking ! Woking is very near the spot the first Martians landed in H G Well's book " The War of the Worlds "
A bit of a connection for Sight and Sound
The yard was established 150 years ago by Sandy Macfarlane's Great Grandfather, John Macfarlane. The yard is very much a family business with traditional values.
The ferry runs from the Balmaha Boatyard to the North Pier on Inchcailleach Island. The crossing is very short and operates on an 'on demand' basis. A minimum of an hour on the island would be suggested, though most visitors prefer to stay longer. Please advise the Ticket Office of your preferred return time at the start of your sail.
Inchcailleach is one of the largest and highest islands, and is also the nearest to Balmaha.
As soon as you alight at the North Pier you have the feeling of being somewhere magical and away from it all.
Inchcailleach is a Nature Reserve with an abundance of flora and fauna. Enjoy stunning views of Loch Lomond from the hill top and explore the ancient history of the island.
The 52 hectares of Inchcailleach are cloaked in oak woodland providing shady walks and a rich habitat for the host of wildlife resident on the island. From the spring when the woodland floor is carpeted with bluebells through to October when sounds of the rutting fallow deer echo through the trees, the island provides accessible sights and sounds all year round.
There is a choice of walking paths on the island each taking 30-45 minutes. The low path takes you clockwise round the island
and can be joined from landing points at Port Bawn or the North pier. The summit path takes in the highest point on the island at 85m and will reward you with a panoramic views up and down the Loch.
The island has a long association with Christianity since Saint Kentigerna established a nunnery around 1,300 years ago. The low path includes a visit to the ancient burial ground and the site of a church built in the 13th Century and dedicated to her memory. The church was in use until 1770 but the burial ground was used until 1947. Amongst the graves you will find the grave of the Clan Chief of the
I considered using the fort and the stand for the pod, but that seemed cliche, so I instead I used the star shaped fort as inspiration for the wings and headrest. From the front they form a very obscure 5 point star. This is also more practical, and I like making my podracers practical(besides the part where podracing itself isn't practical) because I figured out a way to make the fig look like she was reclining in a seat and not standing at an awkward angle.
Keurig refillable pods. We ground our own coffee and fill these pods. Each one is one cup of coffee so we never have to throw out what's left in a coffee pot. The savings are amazing.

Another Escape or 'Life Pod' from the clone wars this time.
Seen in episode 2 I believe.
a little inconsistant in the rear were I think the exit is between the boosters but I couldn't find the scala dish I want to use in LDD so it's modified.
Camping pods - all the fun of camping without the tent. Key benefits include: not freezing, water tight and wooden deck with roof overhang.
to be very clear, i dont’ know what this is.
ok, i take that back. i do know what this is. it’s a big black floating metal box sitting in the middle of a forest. to be more specifically clear: i don’t know why it exists.
i has no windows, nor does it have any plumbing or electricity. which leads me to the only rational conclusion one can come to when confronted with a big black metal box in the middle of the woods. which is: it’s an alien observation pod. or condo.
but regardless of it’s intended or unintended utility i posit that it’s great architecture. i mean, if i were an architect (which, clearly, i’m not) i would look at this big black metal box in the woods and say to myself, ‘who, that’s cool’.
and i imagine many architects strive to make buildings and structures that are, simply, weird and cool. which seems like a noble and valid pursuit. i mean, of course architecture ideally would involve the creation of spaces that serve real world purposes and have nice quotidian functionality. but some architecture can also aspire to just be odd and interesting and cool. like this big black accidental box in the woods.
oh, i looked around for alien footprints but found none. but, of course, aliens are clever and would probably not leave obvious footprints. and/or they were hovering over the ground.&nb ssp;or both. i saw no hovering foot prints either. but to be honest, i don’t know what hovering foot prints would actually look like.

...or something. the first one is in the back. each is a bit different, fabric-wise and shape wise, but they are all humpback whales, or at least my interpretation of a humpback.

The seed pods on the milk weed in my yard are making a little Florida snow as the winds blow them about. The milkweed produced little in the way of butterflies but they are making up for it with a winter show.

A large cornfield featured a corn-maze with lots of seed pods ready to burst or fall and spread their seeds. The field itself had declined with the cool mid-October weather.

Ese poder de atracción que tiene sobre el agua la zona de "Los Hervideros" en Lanzarote nos hizo llevarnos algún susto por las olas de varios metros que nos mojaron y, sobre todo, por el sonido que emitían...
