I just wanted to share something that's been on my heart as of late. I've been so overwhelmed by the amount of compliments I get on a daily basis from everyone on Flickr, Facebook and in my life in general. It truly encourages me to continue my deep passion and love for photography, and I thank you all so much for the support.
But what is more, is the overwhelming joy I receive in photography THROUGH my Savior, Jesus Christ. My heart is overflowing with thankfulness at His goodness and faithfulness.
What I'm getting at is that I would in NO way be in the position I am today without Jesus. He has blessed me unimaginably through my passion, and for that, I am so completely humbled. I am in awe of what God has done in my life because of my passion.
I pray that all that I'm doing with photography, what I have already done with it, and what I will do with it, gives glory to God.
Because He is worthy.
Traffic holds their position at the intersection of Lego Lane and Brickplace Pass as a police car is in pursuit of a car that exceeded the speed limit and also disregarded a red light on the traffic signal.
August 5th Is International Traffic Light Day
By 1914, there were more automobiles on the road than ever, and they were still sharing the streets with streetcars, horse carriages, merchant carts, and more. There was a need for regulations to make sure traffic moved smoothly and that accidents would decrease. At the time, traffic was controlled by the police. But traffic lights were about to come along and make road navigation easier, safer, and more efficient.
On August 5, 1914, what is considered to be the first electric traffic light was installed in Cleveland, Ohio, at the corner of East 105th Street and Euclid Avenue. It had four pairs of red and green lights, one for each side of the intersection, and a warning buzzer that indicated when the light was about to change. It had to be operated manually by someone in a nearby booth. It was based on a design by James Hoge, who had previously applied for a patent for a "Municipal Traffic Control System." His patent—#1,251,666—was approved in 1918. The Cleveland Automobile Club thought that their new traffic light might revolutionize the handling of traffic in crowded cities.
There were other early traffic signals and traffic lights, both before and after Cleveland's and James Hoge's lights. In 1868, a gas-lit and manually-operated traffic sign was installed in London. It had two arms: one said "stop" and the other said "caution." Tragically, less than a month after its installation, it exploded and the policeman who was operating it was injured.
In 1910, the first automated traffic control system was created. It didn't light up, but it did display "stop" and "proceed." In Salt Lake City in 1912, a traffic light of red and green lights was installed in a wooden box on a pole. William Potts, a police officer from Detroit, Michigan, invented the three-color traffic light to be used at four-way stops in 1920. In 1923, Garrett Morgan invented a traffic signal with a T-shaped design; he patented it and later sold it to General Electric. Traffic lights have continued to improve over time. Lights first had to be changed manually, then they could change automatically, and then in the 1950s computers began being used to control them. Computers allowed detection plates, or loops of wire embedded into the pavement, to be installed as well, which could sense when cars were present. Traffic lights also expanded beyond the basic red, yellow, and green lights, and began including other lights such as turn arrows, and walk and don't walk lights.
Traffic lights control the flow of traffic and are placed at locations such as road intersections and pedestrian crossings. They go by many other names, which are sometimes dependent on where in the world they are. Some common names include traffic signals, traffic lamps, signal lights, or “Stop-and-Go Lights”. They are made of lamps or LEDs, and their standard colors are red, yellow (amber), and green. A solid red light means that a driver should not proceed, while a flashing red light is to be treated like a stop sign. A yellow light indicates that a red light will soon appear. In some areas, it may require a driver to stop if they can, but in other areas, drivers may be allowed to pass through it if it is safe. If a yellow light is flashing, it means it is a warning signal. A green light means that a driver may proceed if it is safe and if there is room on the other side of the intersection.
Traffic lights may be set to flash at times when traffic is sparse, such as late at night. Sometimes a flashing yellow is set to a main road, while a flashing red is set to the side road. Sometimes there is flashing red in all directions, which is treated as a four-way stop. Whether lights are green, yellow, or red, or whether they are solid or flashing, we celebrate them today, on the anniversary of when the first electric traffic light was installed.
How to Observe
Today is for stopping and thinking about the importance of traffic lights in road safety. The best way to celebrate the day is probably to use as many traffic lights as possible when driving. If you are up for a long drive, you could drive to the intersection in Cleveland where the first electric traffic light was installed. You could also drive to Ohio's Small Town Museum, where what is believed to be the world's oldest traffic light is kept.

With Locomotive #108 positioned just short of the the wooden trestle at the north end of the Hill City Yard, Black Hills Central Engineer Cesar and his fireman open the blow-down valves on #108 to rid the mud-ring section of the firebox of any loose sediment and contaminants. Instantly, super-heated water is ejected out of both sides of the locomotive at boiler pressure (about 190 PSI), and instantly flashes to steam. The process is loud and typically attracts spectators, some of whom will get a bit wet if they're standing downwind. This blow-down procedure is executed before the first run every day, and is repeated at least once during each run, typically in a secluded section of the line. With the procedure complete, the crew will back the locomotive up to the water tank near the station to fill the big saddle tank, before coupling on to their train.
I am doing the 2011 strobist class on Flickr, and here is the assignment result for Strobist L102 1.1 Position: Angle.
Handy Manny and Philipe kindly dropped in to model for me here on white seamless (A3). Lit with a 580EXII triggered by Cactus v4s. Light positions as indicated on the diagram. Exposures were kept the same for each shot using a Sekonic light meter.
If you are reading this, and have no idea what Strobist is... Check out Strobist 102 lessons. This exercise is specifically for 1.1 Position: angle lesson which is all about observing how things look different when you get your flash off the camera and hitting your subject from different angles.
Which one makes Manny look best do you think?

Rothesay Castle stands in a prominent position in the centre of the town of Rothesay on the Isle of Bute. In Scottish terms it is an unusual castle, being largely circular. It is also remarkably well preserved for such an early castle, with much of what you see today dating directly back to its original construction in the early 1200s.

Positioned adjacent to the town-side entrance of Sutton Coldfield station, 'The Station' has long been a popular local pub. It has recently changed its sign, now featuring the front end view of a Metro-Cammell Class 101 DMU. Perhaps unusual, as it features a DMU instead of the usual steam locomotive, but the 'Met-camms' were locally built and saw some use on the Cross City Line. Of note, it replaces what I thought was one of the best pub signs, featuring a LNER Pacific, point work and a signal gantry (see album 'Railway themed pub signs).

A pose of my friend Amanda's hand with mine. No editing was done here, we just played around with the lighting and shutter speed.
Here's the pictures for my 75218 X-Wing MOD.
It's 843 parts.
I optimized the build to reduce the number of part you would need to buy.
It's not the definitive edition, the space between the opening system and the only rubber band create a torque that slightly bend the wings when in the attack position. I'm building the same MOD for 75102 Poe's X-Wing and I will try to resolve this issue, if it work I will update this one and release the files and instructions for free.
The front part is surprizingly sturdy. But it use illegal technique in the way that some part are stressed. I used tolerance and deformation of parts to achieve this build.
Unfortunetly in Stud.io there isn't the new helmet, so I made my design with the old one (I prefer this one anyway) and when it come to build it I realize the new helmet was too big and prevents to close the windscreen, my bad.

Aeres University of Applied Sciences (Food, Nature & Urban Green) Almere
At the start of the 21/22 academic year, the new building of the green education and knowledge institution Aeres Hogeschool Almere was taken into use on one of the main roads to Floriade Expo 2022. A healthy, inspiring working and learning environment in an energy-neutral, climate-adaptive and circular building. The design reflects both the sustainable identity of the education of the faculty in Almere and the central theme of the upcoming world horticultural exhibition: 'Growing Green Cities'. 'Green' is therefore an important building block for the new building with different types of green walls, plants and trees, moves through the building like a landscape, from entrance to roof. The greenery stimulates the senses and, as part of the living lab, also has an educational value; students in Almere conduct research into urban food supplies and healthy living in the green city and into the way in which greenery in the school contributes to learning performance.
Aeres is the first school in the Netherlands to go for the Platinum WELL certificate. The abundant living greenery itself has many positive effects on the indoor climate. In addition, other relevant factors such as daylight, ventilation, thermal comfort, acoustics, movement and the use of non-toxic materials have also been optimized. Users can control their own lighting, climate and sun protection for each room. Building performance is continuously monitored and controlled by an intelligent building management system. The inspiring interior is also a translation of the educational vision and sustainability ambitions. The functional and varied mix of learning, working and consultation spaces facilitates activity-oriented education, research and project-based and individual work.
The new Aeres University of Applied Sciences is a smart energetic building with smart skin; Depending on the position and orientation, the facades have different properties. For example, PV panels on the west side also provide solar shading in addition to generating energy. The east side, oriented towards the tree garden of the Floriade site, is completely green and changes color with the seasons. The lively nature-inclusive green roof is both a pleasant living space and an inspiring learning and experimental area. A shaded roof of semi-transparent PV panels protects the students from the sun and reduces the heat in the school. Collected rainwater also serves as a heat/cooling buffer and provides watering for the greenery on and around the building. This saves 50% tap water. In keeping with the sustainable ambitions for the new university of applied sciences, we have incorporated various circular materials into the building, such as biocomposite facade cladding, concrete granulate, recycled wood for the grandstand stairs, decking and outdoor furniture and recycled metal studs for the inner walls. In turn, the demountable design itself enables future reuse of materials registered with Madaster.

Honduran Cashews
Anacardium occidentale
The cashew is a tree in the flowering plant family Anacardiaceae. The plant is native to northeastern Brazil. Its English name derives from the Portuguese name for the fruit of the cashew tree, caju, which in turn derives from the indigenous Tupi name, acajú. It is now widely grown in tropical climates for its cashew "nuts" and cashew apples.
What appears to be the fruit of the cashew tree is an oval or pear-shaped accessory fruit or false fruit that develops from the receptacle of the cashew flower. Called the cashew apple, better known in Central America as "jocote de marañón", it ripens into a yellow and/or red structure about 5–11 cm long. It is edible, and has a strong "sweet" smell and a sweet taste. The pulp of the cashew apple is very juicy, but the skin is fragile, making it unsuitable for transport. It is often used as a flavor in agua fresca.
The true fruit of the cashew tree is a kidney or boxing-glove shaped drupe that grows at the end of the pseudofruit. The drupe develops first on the tree, and then the peduncle expands into the pseudofruit. Within the true fruit is a single seed, the cashew nut. Although a nut in the culinary sense, in the botanical sense the fruit of the cashew is a seed. The seed is surrounded by a double shell containing a dermatogenic phenolic resin, urushiol, a potent skin irritant toxin also found in the related poison ivy

Choosing the grid position. Looks a bit more sophisticated these days - I seem to recall choosing a lollipop stick or a clothes peg with numbers on, back in the day.
Whenever I arrived at this spot I used to feel physically queasy at the thought of being in the middle of 30 or so 250 two strokes doing a push start (it is easy for someone to fail to start their bike, or stall in front, leaving me with nowhere to go) and then having to bring the front wheel down to peel round the first left hander. Fortunately, I always came away unscathed and it has now passed into legend as one of the most exciting things I've done ;-)
It was great to see this "proper" racing two stroke in action yesterday.
Quite ironic to see a No Smoking sign near the holding area for a race full of two strokes.
1st Lieutenant Kharisma Bandhan.
Squad position: Art 4.
Callsign: Legs.
Hailing from the Luzon system, 1Lt Bandhan was a semi-pro rooftop racer before being recruited by Dramstellar as part of their spin up in response to Krewstara's hostile actions kickstarting the Colonia II conflict. Bandhan didn't actually arrive until towards the tail end of the fighting as part of the militia squads Dramstellar had organized as opposed to the mostly mercenary forces they'd hired for much of the conflict. Nevertheless she distinguished herself during her battles, including landing the first recorded killing blow on a Krewstarian Chubdam and earning ace status during the push to take Castle Mount and the space elevator foundations. When Dramstellar began examining their hastily thrown together squads for top pilots to hire for their formal mobile frame program, Lt Bandhan was one of the top recommendations from the militia leadership, second only to WO Vinter herself.
1st Lieutenant Bandhan's Ruschia Test Type has been fine tuned for exceptional close quarters combat, maximizing speed and aggression without sacrificing defense. To achieve this balance, armor was removed from the feet, arms, and skirt to help reduce weight, while a extra large jump thruster pack was added to the back, complete with super enriched fuel tanks to radically boost the output of all three jump jets as needed. To balance the reduction in armor, two twin auto-turrets were added to the mobile frame on the right of the core and the left of the back. These autoturrets are semi autonomous, designed to intercept incoming attacks or distract enemy mobile frames. Of course the ability to rapidly close in on your opponents doesn't mean much without the ability to wreck havoc on them, so the Ruschia striker variant is equipped with an anti-armor lance to inflict serious damage and a plasma edge moon-axe to seal the deal. To help ensure 1Lt Bandhan reaches her targets, her Ruschia is equipped with a miniaturized flash laser turret. The power cell despite its size is only good for a single burn, but is capable of burning completely through a mobile frame... in optimal circumstances. Given the need to keep the Ruschia as streamlined and light as possible, Bandhan was limited in what she could push for as far as customization goes. She settled on an elongated canopy design that mimics her old roof top racing frame, and provides improved HUD functionality.
