Figs made of recently found torsos, etc, that I hav managed to dig out of my boxes.
P.S. Sorting is a pain...
I posted a wip of this many months ago, but could never figure out how to suspend the sail.
As far as I know zombies don't fly. Ultralights are by definition, light and don't require long runways. This allows for versatile use, safety, and transportation through the apocalypse.
my grandmother asked me to take a picture of a row of newly erected concrete posts for high tension wires. unfortunately, i found the orange-tinged sky more interesting

Had to have a quiet chuckle to myself here,as a grown up was explaining to a young child what these things were.
April 22, 2022 - “1898 The Post is an outstanding example of successful conversion. This beautiful story in a nutshell? In 1898, the architect Louis Cloquet used his passion and talent to complete the plans for a new building: the Hotel des Postes et des Télégraphes. The “building was erected in the very heart of the city, between the “Graslei” and the “Korenmarkt”. In 1909, this new post office was built, ready to welcome the excitement of the Universal Exhibition that was to be held in Charles V’s native city in 1913.
The eclectic architecture of the building, with its many octagonal towers, was inspired by the neo-gothic style and also reveals influences of the neo-renaissance style. The façade, decorated with a hundred or so coats of arms and statues, evokes Belgium, its provinces and the 23 heads of state in office. The main tower houses a magnificent clock and stands proudly at 54 metres high.
The post office quickly became a busy place. Postillions and the first horse-drawn trams rubbed shoulders here. The town’s postal centre developed over the decades. The last post office was closed in 2001.
In August 2017, 120 years after Louis Cloquet’s last sketch, his work reached the apotheosis of its conversion. “1898 The Post” was born. The two upper floors were opened up to the people of Ghent and the rest of the world in the form of a unique hotel.
The city of Ghent now has a new high-end accommodation in its image, in a place full of history. Five years later, it is listed among the 500 best hotels in the world." Text from the hotel website: 1898thepost.com/en/
I headed over to Kev's garage yesterday to lend a hand doing some work on his E30s. I looked outside and realized i haven't snapped any pictures of my car since i made a few minor changes over the winter. Here she is as it sits for now.
Playing with some PP techniques, let me know what you think?

A drilling bit sits atop the gates on the road into the old Humble Gas Plant in the Tomball Oil Field, Tomball Texas The gate is now on Humble Road. Oil and gas production was an important part of Tomball's history.
From 1907 to 1933 Tomball was a shipping point on the railroad with most of the people primarily involved in farming and ranching activities. The coming of the railroad in 1906 was followed by a post office in 1908. The town acquired its first school in 1908 . In 1913, electric lights and telephone service became widely available in the little town. By 1914 Tomball had a population of 350, a bank, a blacksmith, several stores, six hotels, and two cotton gins. Charles F. Hoffman was an early settler who operated the first general store, and J. J. Trichel was postmaster.
Then In 1933 Tomball changed forever in just a day. On May 27, drillers struck oil west of town on the property of J. F. W. Kob. Almost overnight Tomball became a oil boom-town. In 1935, the original contract negotiated between Tomball and the Humble Oil and Refining Company (later Exxon ) gave free water and natural gas to Tomball residents for ninety years in exchange for drilling rights within the city limits. On July 6, 1933, Tomball, popularly known as "Oil Town U.S.A.," was incorporated with a population of 665. With the discovery of oil, however, this figure tripled. Soon there were twenty-five to thirty oil and gas companies producing within a five-mile radius of Tomball. Humble built a "camp" in Tomball which included housing, recreation facilities and other facilities for its workers. Tomball became famous as a city with free gas and water but no municipal cemetery. The hydrocarbon reservoirs played out and Exxon sold their interest in the late 1980s. There is still a little production from the field and the gas plant is still operational, however most of the field has now been abandoned.
