MOC: Post Office. A modern interpretation of the classic set 6689, "Post-Station".
Here you can see the inspiration for my update, the original set from 1985. I've kept the colours, the shape of the roof, and a mailbox integrated in the facade. The bicycle is also present in my updated version, and it's located on the left-hand side of the baseplate. I moved the sign on the roof lower down, because it would be too hard to see from street level if it had remained on top.
"The Fence Post"
by Ellan Arlena Halsell Bonham
There is a wethered fence post,
sitting all alone.
Waiting for the winter winds,
to chill it to the bone.
It stands tall and proud although,
it's getting old and worn.
A little on the rough side now,
so tattered and so torn.
I wish that i could be like that post,
not afraid of life's storm.
or have to worry oh so much about,
when my heart gets torn.
I think I'd like for a day or two,
to just trade place.
Maybe standing tall and proud,
the heartache would erase.
I so admire that old fence post,
as I gaze his way.
Thinking what a job well done,
hoping for him to see one more day.
MOC: Post Office. A modern interpretation of the classic set 6689, "Post-Station".
Part of my "Updated Classics" series - an ever-growing number of sets I've re-interpreted in order to make them fit better with modern LEGO City vehicles and buildings.
I kept this one quite small, as I didn't feel it needed to grow so much to still be realistic, but I've added what I think of as an expansion to the original building, a post storage room. The colours are the same, there's a mailbox integrated in the facade, and the bicycle remains. The stickers are the same style as the originals, but these come from MiniStickers.nl - they're selling a nice sheet with various mail-related stickers.
The building style is reminiscent of the one I've used for other recent buildings of mine, but with the difference that this has a slanted roof, unlike the others that are flat. But that's because the original has a slanted roof.
The building also has attachment points placed according to the LEGO Modular building standard on the left side, which means it can be integrated in a modular layout.

" Après une longue marche nous avions enfin trouvé un lieu sûr pour nous reposer un peu. L'endroit était sombre et délabré mais amplement suffisant pour se sentir en sécurité... au moins le temps d'une nuit. "

Maintenant il ne me manque plus qu'une Pullip à intégrer à cet univers, hihi ! Un jour, peut-être... :p
Photo très différente de d'habitude qui m'a demandé un tout autre travail de retouche ^^ Je suis loin d'être une professionnelle dans le domaine, mais j'espère que ce n'est pas trop vilain et que je m'améliorerai avec le temps 😊
Le résultat est très sombre ; il vaut mieux augmenter la luminosité pour espérer voir quelque chose xD
Charlie & Raphaël portent tous deux une tenue de MissPralinecréation qui fait un travail remarquable que je vous recommande ! 😉 ♥

England at the World Showcase, Epcot center, Disney World.
I took this shot after the illuminations (fireworks) show at the Epcot center. I waited until most of the crowd left but still had people walking through my photos. This is why I love long exposures. The photobombers are nowhere to be seen!
7 exposure HDR processed in Lightroom and the Nik apps. I purposely wanted to give it a sort of magical looks. After all, it IS Disney right?

My first secret post.
I was inspired by all of the people in the Post Secret group who relentlessly expressed their emotions, whether it be on the surface or extremely deep...
It's no secret that I'm a large woman. It hasn't hindered my success as far as I know however, I truly believe that I could be happier without all of this weight. I'm trying to get down to the bottom of why I choose to live this way. For the past 4 months, weight loss has been on my brain more than ever. I feel like it's time. It has to be.
oh yeah.... that's supposed to be a slice of pizza!
Even the toughest of soldiers need to take a nap from time to time. I know I do.

My response to the Washington Post's announced refusal to endorse a presidential candidate for the 2024 campaign.
Written: 25 October 2024.
***************
▶ In September 2020, the Washington Post endorsed Joe Biden over Donald tRump for president of the United States, writing:
"Those challenges have been, to varying degrees, created, exacerbated or neglected by [Trump]: the covid-19 pandemic, which has claimed more lives in this country than anywhere else in the world; rising inequality and racial disparities; a 21st-century, high-tech authoritarianism ascendant in the world, with democracy in retreat; a planet at risk due to human-caused climate change. Underlying them all is the question of whether U.S. democracy is any longer capable of meeting even one such challenge, let alone a host of them. Here is where Mr. Trump, the worst president of modern times, has done the most damage."
Those words were written BEFORE tRump's conspiracy to subvert American democracy following his loss in the 2020 election. So, I ask: in 2024, how has tRump changed?
I have been a reader of the Washington Post since 1966, when my parents introduced me to the newspaper's journalism and its occasionally courageous muckraking in holding the powerful to account (such as revealing the incredible criminal and constitutional corruption of another president, Richard Nixon, damn the consequences, then).
Today, however, confronted with the Post's craven rejection of that heritage — its tacit refusal to condemn tRump's criminality and existential threat to democracy by deliberately declining to endorse a presidential candidate for 2024 (and its mendacious 'excuse' for doing so) — I sadly, but proudly, have canceled my subscription.
Billionaire Jeff Bezos — owner of the Washington Post since 2013 — proclaims, on his paper's masthead, that "Democracy dies in darkness." No, it dies from feckless cowardice.
