My daughter and her boyfriend on a muddy and windy run along the Wessex Ridgeway, Devizes, UK. We lay in wait in a hollow and when Melanie crested the hill Danny pounced! She said "yes".
I have finally decided to post these photos. I made them for a proposal for--well obviously for this set. Unfortunately, I was not aware that Star Trek is a restricted IP and that Lego would not allow the proposal to go public because of course, what would be the point?
There's no point in keeping the photos and description to myself though, especially with the work that went into them. Description below:
'Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Lego starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no minifigure has gone before.'
Thrown through a spatial anomaly to a universe of modular building bricks, the crew of Starfleet's famous flagship find themselves sitting on your desk! With around 1800 parts, this UCS scaled Enterprise-D from Star Trek: The Next Generation is lovingly detailed and mounts on an elegant display stand complete with dedication plaque. But the Enterprise-D is hardly the first ship to bear her name. Display the original Constitution class Enterprise from the 1960s TV classic alongside and at the same scale.
And of course, it isn't a Galaxy class starship without a separating saucer. With the secondary display stand--mounted with a Starfleet badge and the nanofigures of the main bridge crews of both the original series and The Next Generation--you can show off both the saucer and the stardrive sections at once! The nanofigures aren't just for display; act out some of your favorite scenes or make up your own story when you remove the saucer plates to access the main bridge.
Features:
-Prepare for saucer separation: When facing a highly dangerous threat, Captain Picard decides to split the saucer off into its own ship. With the secondary stand, you can mount the saucer and display it right alongside the stardrive section. Just swap the saucer for the battle bridge attachment and you suddenly have two ships!
-Control the action yourself: Remove the panel on the saucer section and access the main bridge. With the detailed nanofigures, the bridge crew is ready for anything. Place Data at Ops, Worf at Tactical, and Picard in his Captain's chair and 'Engage' at warp 6!
-Time for a temporal anomaly: Display the Constitution class Enterprise from the original series alongside its successor. Built to the same scale and detailed with a deflector array, impulse engines, and shuttle bay doors; you can command this highly swooshable starship on its five year mission of exploration and adventure.
-Assemble the senior staff: The nanofigures inlcude The Next Generation's Captain Picard, Commander Riker, Lt. Commander La Forge, Lt. Commander Data, Lieutenant Worf, Dr. Crusher, Counselor Troi, and the original series' Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, Dr. "Bones" McCoy, Chief Engineer Scotty, Lieutenant Uhura, Lieutenant Sulu, and Ensign Chekov.
Built for play or display, these two starships are sure to be popular with all ages. Whether you are a young fan of great Lego sets, or a nostalgic collector of Star Trek memorabilia, please support this project and help us to bring the knowledge of the galaxy to everyone.

The Proposal.
(Linoleum Cut).
Whilom 'Twere a night 'tis it t'was,
or t'was ik speketh so,
lik'th no night nevere sith,
thee jetty black sky open'd nat thy curtain wide,
to pleas'th thy marry well,
from deep inside thy well shall spring'th,
to reveal thine gentillesse light,
from'st thee'st half moon wharfing above,
how can'st thou noght feel thee solempnitte air?
thy question comen'th faste,
unexpect'd she was caught unawar's,
thee flower pedal answer'd Yay,
be'st loud as it may be,
yow rhapsodic mind went ne reeling thider,
into thou galaxies far and beyond,
O' blisful tiding's O' blisful indeed.

'Make it so!'
I recently learned that there are a couple of actual Marines out there who like the Space Marines idea. One of them asked me to do this... he's proposing to his girlfriend, who actually outranks him! Best of luck, Corporal Wengert! I hope she says yes (and thanks for letting me share this.)
Remember to support the Space Marines on Lego Cuusoo to see them as real Lego sets!
While touring the landscape of Chanticleer Gardens in Wayne, Pa. I noticed a couple having a lovely picnic under some shade trees. They had everything right down the the blanket and woven basket. When things took a turn for the romantic, I gave them their privacy. Hope she said 'yes'.

Kiểu cuối cùng của em Minolta "xấu"-biết thế ko đổi em Mil "đẹp":((=))
taken in december - there are still remnants of the purplish sand that washed up during hurricane irene last fall.
I had a fun proposal last year over at the Amway Grand. I brought a couple of AD200's with me. I slapped a magenta gel and grid on the rim light and a MagSphere on the key light. I had a couple of family members hold the lights.
Today I had the pleasure of shooting a proposal on the beach! It was a lot of fun hiding out and shooting from far back with the 300mm f2.8. She said yes so I moved in closer and got this one.
I wab yuuu ❤❤❤
Will you marry me??
I am minion Dave, 35cm tall and made fully of rich chocolate mud cake and covered in icing :)
Pretty happy with this given I haven't made a cake for over a year

This photo isn't staged. It's the actual proposal.
I made Courtney take several shots with me until I got the timing right. About two seconds before the camera timer went off, she thought we were just taking another vacation photo on the beach at China Cove in Point Lobos.
If you check out the large resolution, you can see the surprise on her face. (I'm very happy with the way this photo turned out.)

Arkalalah Parade
Arkansas City, KS
This fine gent entered a mini-house on a trailer sporting a "Marry Me" sign over the back porch as a float in this year's Arkalalah Parade. Manning the porch, when his float reached the appropriate place along the route, the suitor stepped off from it and invited his gal out onto Main Street USA, and popped the question. He gets 5-stars for proposal creativity, providing a proposal which she will probably not soon forget.
She said "Yes!".
This engagement shoot was awesome, Aubrey and Matt were an amazingly fun couple to work with. This shot was taken at the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art in KCMO. I'm very fortunate they drove in all the way from Garden City, KS. I'll be headed their way in May when the wedding comes around.
What a way for them to start off the new year taking this significant eternal step! Feeling blesssed that my "nephew" invited me to capture this beautiful moment.
These are a series of illustrations from a c1949 article on the potential for redeveloping the area around the Palace of Westminster and Parliament Square. They're very much of the time - post-WW2 planning and style, with a hint of what is known as 'Festival of Britain' (this was to be staged in 1951) and I suppose, to our eyes today, the proposed architecture could look a little weak but - I'd say given the horror that is still Parliament Square at least someone gave the place a thought and looked to see what might make it more open, accessible and contextual. I say horror as only last week as I attempted to navigate at street level around the traffic ridden roundabout that forms the setting to the 'Mother of all Parliaments' I realised why I so rarely venture there. Various, and more recent, schemes for change have failed due to various factors - involving both local and national politics. Shame.
Gordon Cullen (1914 - 1994) was an influential architect and designer of the period and many books and periodicals carry his illustration which I rather like.
This suggest the relocation of statues to form a pervious barrier.

Among the Czech Stop kolaches, Robertson’s roast beef stands, and Buc-ee’s along Interstate 35 through Central Texas, the American Bank in Bellmead represents the most recognizable of icons. The characteristic round shape, with its namesake perched above like an Ed Ruscha painting, is the boldest of statements among a sea of pole signs and fast food joints.
The Waco Tribune-Herald has reported that the iconic bank would be demolished in 2020, after recent attempts to determine a remodel for the structure was deemed “not economically feasible to get it up to serviceable condition for banking,” stated CEO Dana Hassell in the report. The renderings rekeased show a smaller replacement that evokes the round shape, framed by vertical wing walls clad in aluminum. Upon hearing of the impending demolition, preservation groups across the state have responded swiftly to save what Evan Thompson of the nonprofit Preservation Texas calls “a landmark.”
Designed by then Dallas-based architect Durwood Pickle, the American Bank was conceived as a landmark from the outset, intended to create a lasting visual statement. In a 1978 interview for ENR, Pickle explained that the owners “wanted the image of at least a five-story building but they did not need that much space.” The 71-foot diameter, two-story structure was instead built atop a raised landscape plinth. A lightweight fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) shell, one of the few early examples in the State of Texas, attaches at the second level and rises upward to become a five-foot high parapet. The entire composition places the building above the interchange level to frame the bank clearly within view. An invitation to conduct drive-up banking radiates outward from the round shell, setting up a very clear and bold statement at ground level and from above. It is a statement that the current replacement proposal fails to attain.
Pickle’s intent clearly foreshadowed the bank’s impending concerns, however, its intentions were toward something greater, an experience rarely seen and that is quickly disappearing from our roadside theater. “People love this building because it’s different,” explained Thompson. “It was designed with the intention of being a roadside landmark—and for forty years, it has been. The Round Bank is obviously one of the architectural highlights along the otherwise monotonous and repetitive stretches of interstate between Dallas/Fort Worth and Austin. Because the Round Bank provides a visual anchor for all those who sail along (sometimes fast, sometimes slow) I-35, its loss would be disorienting and damaging and a total waste.” The state-run Texas Historical Commission is also looking into the structure’s potential for historical tax credits.
The loss of the American Bank would be an unfortunate one, visually of course, but also as an essential identifier for Bellmead and the Waco region. In capturing these images for the article, Dallas-based architectural photographer Parrish Ruiz de Velasco, shared his thoughts on the bank that is located near his family home. “It is one of those landmarks that you can’t miss and I think it is important to the community,” explained Velasco. “Upon sharing images I received several messages from friends and people I’ve never met, all saying the same thing—Gotta love the Circle Bank!”
