So changing gears a little bit here, I decided to rectify one of my biggest personal disdains for Lego, the stances. Due to the limited articulation Lego minifigures provide, I wanted to make strides towards more realistic grips for minifigures to hold all of the cool 3rd party products, such as Brick Arms, Brick Warriors, and Minifig Cat. Right here you can see (from left to right) a T88 LMG/PKM (I might recolor them to look like a PKM), an AK-74M, an M4A1, and an MP5A2. I have several other M4's, several BA AK's, and an M249 that I did not photograph. I am also working on the BA M82, BW AS VAL, and many more weapons from Brick Arms, Brick Warriors, and Minifig Cat, so stay tuned!

WALNEY LIGHTHOUSE WAS BUILT IN 1790, AND POSITIONED AT HAWS POINT ON THE ISLAND. ITS PURPOSE WAS TO IMPROVE THE NAVIGATION OF THE RIVER LUNE AND ACT AS A GUIDE FOR CARGO SHIPS FROM THE WEST INDIES BOUND FOR THE GLASSON DOCKS. THE LIGHTHOUSE WAS NOT BUILT TO BENEFIT BARROW, AS IT WAS ONLY A SMALL FISHING COMMUNITY AT THIS TIME.
THE LIGHTHOUSE WAS BUILT OF STONE QUARRIED FROM OVERTON IN LANCASHIRE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE SITE BY SHIP. THE OCTAGONAL TOWER IS 70 FEET HIGH AND RESTS ON A CIRCULAR FOUNDATION 20 FEET 6 INCHES IN DIAMETER. THERE ARE 91 STEPS UP TO THE TOP OF THE LIGHTHOUSE. THE ORIGINAL LIGHT WAS AN ARGENT BURNER, A TYPE OF PARAFFIN LAMP.
IN 1909 AN ACETYLENE GASLIGHT SYSTEM WAS INSTALLED WHICH FLASHED AT ONE MINUTE INTERVALS. IN 1953 THIS WAS REPLACED WITH AN ELECTRIC LIGHT WHICH FLASHES AT 15 SECOND INTERVALS. THE NEW LIGHT IS 30 TIMES MORE POWERFUL (450,000 CANDLE POWER) AND HAS A RANGE OF 18 MILES COMPARED TO 13 MILES OF ITS GAS PREDECESSOR. THE ELECTRIC LIGHT WAS FIRST POWERED BY ITS OWN GENERATOR, NOT BEING CONNECTED TO THE NATIONAL GRID UNTIL 1969. THIS GUIDING LIGHT CAN EVEN BE SEEN FROM BLACKPOOL.
ATTACHED TO THE LIGHTHOUSE ARE TWO HOUSES IN WHICH THE KEEPER AND STAFF LIVE. THESE HOUSES WERE ORIGINALLY ONE HOUSE, WHICH WAS BUILT FOR THE FIRST FULL-TIME KEEPER. THE HOUSE WAS DIVIDED INTO TWO IN THE LATE 19TH CENTURY. AT THIS TIME THE LIGHTHOUSE’S ONLY WATER SOURCE CAME FROM THE RAIN AND THE ONLY LIGHTING CAME FROM CANDLES.
DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR, THE HOUSE WAS USED AS AN OFFICERS' MESS WHEN 170 SOLDIERS WERE ENCAMPED AT THE LIGHTHOUSE AS PART OF THE COASTAL DEFENCE NETWORK. IN 1946 14 PRISONERS OF WAR WERE MOVED INTO THE CAMP. THEY DID ODD JOBS AROUND THE LIGHTHOUSE IN RETURN FOR CIGARETTES AND FOOD. THE REMAINS OF THE BARRACKS ARE STILL VISIBLE.
TODAY THE LIGHTHOUSE IS RUN BY THE PORT OF LANCASTER COMMISSIONERS AND CONTAINS A RADIO BEACON FOR TRINITY HOUSE, FORMING A MAJOR LINK IN THE BRITISH COASTGUARD SYSTEM. ALTHOUGH THE LIGHTHOUSE IS NO LONGER OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, IT CAN BE VIEWED FROM THE OUTSIDE.

Norio and Yuba in their normal positions for the time of day - I think they like this spot because they can hear and see us as well as smell our dinner. They never pester us except when fish is involved, and Yuba only rarely - he never really learned to like human food but Norio adores it.
This is part of this weeks office reception flower display.
I am always a sucker for patterns and structure, so this Lotus seed pod was too good to miss.
For the IT nerds, there is a touch of electron theory about this pattern.

Rainey Street is positioned near Lady Bird Lake and Interstate 35 in the southeast corner of downtown. Though 21 buildings are specifically identified as a part of the historic district, the stretch of Rainey between River and Driskill includes 31 buildings built before 1934, giving the neighborhood a historic character relative to other areas of the city. The district includes 120 acres (0.49 km2) from 70 to 97 Rainey Street. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
Lots of bars and places to eat there also.

The equipment for Amtrak's northbound Illini backs into the Carbondale, Illinois, station after turning on the north side of town. The Illinois won't be leaving, though, for more than two hours.
NS 2513 holds down a coal train as it waits for a green light in Wilmerding, PA. This shot is signifigant for a host of reasons. The classic Pennsylvania Railroad Position Lights, Westinghouse Airbrake, an impressive four track main, and an empty coal train with a sharp looking SD70 leading. This WAS the place where most of the braking systems for trains across the world were made, and employeed much of my family, and was the heart of Wilmerding for decades.
This might be my last time seeing and shooting PRR Signals. NS has slowly been replacing them, and the classic lights will soon be a thing of the past!
