This is not my normal type of post but I really do like documentary photography. This is an apartment building being torn down to make way for expensive condominiums.
Thanks for viewing.
So the dark brown wood on the right is the actual original shed. The part on the left, currently covered by the newly built sliding door, is the roof overhang area where we store some wood and our ATV's.
Because the bylaws here say we can only build outbuildings like sheds at 10x10 feet, there are no walls on this area. We have tarped the back and one side and the sliding door protects the inside from the elements while allowing us to have a storage area. The door is 10' wide and can slide over the same distance to the right so we can access the inside.
It still needs another coat of stain plus the cement slabs must be lowered as you can see the bottom of the door is binding on them. Also, handles and latches will be installed. The wind, rain and snow all blow directly toward that door, so it will be a good protection and much easier to access than the tarp and ropes we were using.
In case you are wondering... the cement pipe in front is protecting the access to the well. Every spring the ground heaves and it starts to lean. We will have to take it off and level it. It is in an awkward spot but I guess that's where the previous owners found the water. (!36' down),

Thanks so much for all the support! I really do appreciate it! 😊
I feel like we have a lot of personality going on but I like that when decorating cause I feel like it’s not only about putting things together to fit a certain aesthetic but to also give it some touches that reflect who you are Full picture available in Flickr: Eixu

It has been a busy long weekend and I was late for this week theme.
Struggled for ideas and finding toys for the shoot. Luckily managed to find her.
added a string and hook. Hang in to a fan and created this. Fan be better with more time to prepare.

...because we as humans, especially americans, are at the forefront and always moving forward!
right?
(sometimes i wonder)
Like millions of others, I spent the afternoon waiting to see America's first manned spaceflight mission in nine years.
Unfortunately it was scrubbed because of weather but it was still awesome to see so many others get excited for the event.
NASA and SpaceX will be retrying on Saturday:
May 30th at 3:22 PM EST.
I know many people may feel disappointed but this is going to happen. Have faith and a great week!

I took this shot in Barcelona in 2007, and looking at it now I'm struck by the lovely ancient buildings in the foreground and on the hill... with a modern box of a building going up in the middle. I wonder what that view looks like now.

Another attempt at a wide screen picture. I must say that the quality of this picture is surprisingly better than the Fuji XT30 Mark 11 I used last week. I do not know if it is the quality of the lens or the camera sensor but it is a surprise.
Well... she wasn't supposed to look so young, she will appear "older" depending on your enb and lighting conditions. I am so bad at creating mature characters :(
Since I haven't been able to give her a custom voice despite all the times I tried, I have decided to give her her own little home where she can be found!
Terrance is really tired. He can't remember how long he's been flying, but, he knows he's really hungry and thirsty. He thought it wouldn't be any problem flying to the other side of the photo, but, he just doesn't seem to be making any progress. It kind of made him think he was fighting against the government, not air.

Work in Progress for a new build from 22769 ~ [Bauwerk]: A Victorian Garden Folly. The Garden Folly will be released beginning May for Fameshed. Hope you like it.
I know that there's a lot wrong with this, hence I need to go back and hence work in progress. But I liked the elderly gentleman and that his red clothes matched the shutters
For the few folks that have asked about progress on the model railway, here's a little movie that frankly flatters to deceive regards how much has really been done over the last year.
Progress has indeed been slow but things are at least moving along. The initial first few weeks were absorbed by building a 2.5 x 1.0 metre table on which the layout sits. A couple of mirror-image baseboards were added with rounded corners - a reasonable radius at the back to allow for a backdrop to be wrapped around the corner, and a smaller one at the front to avoid nasty scratches on the torso - partly for myself, but also because grandkids would be mooching around occasionally.
All the track is now laid and wired, and the main running area has been ballasted and painted / toned. The base layer around the Shed area has been painted and at some point I'll likely fill that with a mixture of ballast and coal powder. Four sections of retaining wall have been built, and I've used low-relief Bachmann Scenecraft terrace houses at the back. I'm also in the process of building a factory from a Scale Model Scenery laser-cut kit. A North Light style shed has been built using a 3 to 2 road modified resin kit from TownStreet Models - it needed a bit of filing / fitting here and there but the result is just superb. A coaling stage has also been built from a laser-cut kit.
The two platforms were both cut from solid pieces of pine using a template crafted from sellotaped computer paper which was then marked up and cut using an electric jigsaw. 1mm card was laid on top of that and painted grey with a white edge. The edges of the platform were covered in brick-paper. A barrow-crossing was also made from 1mm card, scored for 6" planks and painted. Decorating the platform with people, fences, and all the other accoutrements is yet to be done, but there are station buildings out of sight on both platforms.
There's no greenery or 'fine finishing' on the layout yet - that, and the roadway down to the cattle dock are future projects. I have a sunken turntable kit yet to be built, but the plastic well has been installed, painted oily black at the base and lined with brick paper. Completion is another project for the future, and will require me reacquainting myself with soldering skills!
The three units of traction currently gracing the layout are a Johnson 3F 0-6-0 tender (43615), a Fairburn 2-6-4Tank (42140), and a 2-car Met Camm DMU - all supplied by Grimy Times Model Railways in Warrington. Around 90% of the rolling stock is secondhand, with wagons etc often sourced from eBay. I'm waiting on the pre-ordered Sutton Locomotive Works class 24/1 which, hopefully, will arrive in the next few months. The line is very much Midland Railway, and the likely station name is Edenbridge depicting somewhere perhaps near Carlisle - however, the jury is still out on that one.
I'm no expert on video files, so hopefully it will download easily enough for viewing. All a bit of a learning experience - so not much different to the model railway then.
