When you say "New York City," most people think of Times Square, or the Empire State Building, or the crowded sidewalks and the skyscrapers in mid-town, or Wall Street, or the ill-fated World Trade Center. Maybe Central Park will come to mind, but most people don't realize that New Yorkers know lots of places to relax, and enjoy the sunshine and fresh air ...
... like Carl Schurz Park, over by the East River on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, stretching from 90th Street down to about 84th Street. In addition to flower gardens, dog runs, basketball courts, playgrounds, and grassy knolls for sunbathing, there is also a wide promenade where cyclists, roller-skaters, dog-walkers, lovers, joggers, parents, children, and any of the other millions of citizens of this city can stroll along at whatever pace suits them best. Some sit at benches along the edge of the river, staring at the roiling water caused by the swift current down the East River; others nod and smile as they watch sailboats, motorboats, yachts, barges, tour-boats, and barges ply their way up and down the river.
One thing's for certain, though: everyone enjoys Carl Schurz Park. It's one of New York's little secrets ...
Damn....
Even more freaky than the masks ! But I had to try this crazy symmetrical thing
Tell me which one of "Me(s)" you.. prefer... ? ;)
(No filter, the result is BARE)
If you have already tried that with your own face, please, post it in the comments, it will console me
The title is inspired by the song I was listening OUT LOUD while I was finishing this.. "thing" ...
Necessary to give me the courage to post it ;)
Have a nice freaky sunday all !! :)
Here's a little animated video that we put together from 19 sequential pictures of this yearling kid, taking a small leap into the unknown.
Personally, I like the few pebbles that are kicked up by its leap...adding a tiny bit of additional reality to the fact that this mountain face on which they are regularly seen is very, very loose terrain. It does not take much to generate a small landslide on this cliff face.
Just a note on the process of the creation of this "video". Photoshop was used to create this video, using the "Timeline" feature. Once you get past an initial learning curve, a person experienced in Photoshop can edit the individual pics and put a video like this together in less than 30 minutes.
Fun stuff!
ESA’s Solar Orbiter mission is being put through its paces to prepare it for facing the Sun following launch in February 2020.
The spacecraft is being tested to withstand the vibrations of launch, the vacuum of space, and the extreme temperature ranges and magnetic environment that it will experience as it journeys from Earth to within the orbit of the innermost planet, Mercury. The deployment mechanisms of instrument booms, antennas and solar arrays are also checked out.
This image captures the scene part way through a solar array deployment test at the IABG facilities in Ottobrunn, Germany, earlier this year. Fully extended, the tip of the array stretches 8.2 m from the spacecraft body. The panels are suspended from above to simulate the weightlessness of space. Click here to watch a video of the full deployment test.
The solar arrays have to provide the required power throughout the mission over a wide range of distances from the Sun. Close to the Sun, the spacecraft will endure around 13 times the amount of solar heating that Earth-orbiting satellites experience, with temperatures in excess of 500ºC, so the solar arrays can also be rotated to avoid overheating when closest to the Sun.
Solar Orbiter's mission is to provide new views of our star, in particular providing the first close-up observations of the Sun’s poles. Its unique orbit will allow scientists to study the Sun and its outer atmosphere, the ‘corona’, in much more detail than previously possible.
We cannot usually see the corona because it is overwhelmed by the bright light of the Sun’s surface itself. During a total eclipse however, when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, that light is blocked, revealing the beautiful white glowing coronaaround the Sun, its structures shaped by the Sun’s magnetic field. This rare sight will be much sought after by astronomers in parts of South America on 2 July, who are getting ready to watch a total solar eclipse.
We essentially live in the extended atmosphere of the Sun. The corona continuously expands and spreads into space, developing as the solar wind that interacts with the planets and beyond, sometimes leading to aurora and other space weather effects observed at Earth.
Solar Orbiter will measure the solar wind and magnetic fields in the vicinity of the spacecraft while simultaneously taking high-resolution images of features on the Sun, linking the two together. This will give us unprecedented insight into how the Sun creates and controls its dynamic atmosphere, and how it interacts with the planets. Studying the Sun-Earth connection is fundamentally important to understanding how our Solar System works in its entirety.
In addition to delivering ground-breaking science in its own right, Solar Orbiter also has important synergies with NASA’s Parker Solar Probe. Coordinated observations will contribute greatly to our understanding of the Sun and its environment.
Solar Orbiter is an ESA-led mission with strong NASA participation. The prime contractor is Airbus Defence and Space. The spacecraft is scheduled for launch from Cape Canaveral in February 2020.

Put a couple hours into my gnome today, after cracking open a #LEGO #polybag ... or five... Of random architecture pieces I didn't previously have. Swipe for mid-day and morning shots, the sketch version was about 20 minutes or so of building at a LEGO program I was leading with limited parts, and maybe 30 at home filling in. I'm pretty pleased with how it's coming along, especially the beard and hands :)
Gonna make the trowel more realistic proportionally.
More WIP shots on my insta, @lego_stud :D
The island was tiny so there were no services when this slide was taken by my dad in the 1960s. There were fires and the houses burned to the ground. We had a fire in the 60s while my sister and I were in the kitchen talking about the thick fog that had blown in and my father was down at the shore. He looked up and saw the smoke and raced up the long hill to the house. He had put a hose in the water tank that summer to measure the water level. He grabbed one end of the hose and pulled it into the closet behind the wood stove. Of course, I squuezed in with him. He pulled the asbestos off the stove pipe and managed to get the hose into the pipe and put out the fire before it reached the roof. That's the only fire I know of on the island that was ever stopped. That was a big event in my childhood. I always knew he was really Superman.
The guy driving this ForkLift was worried he'd hit the tree. He did but it was ok. We were so glad he could drive it around to the back of the house for us. Finally got the wood and our Handyman has started constructing the roof for the little car-port beside the barn. The previous owner let it rot pretty bad. It will be nice to have it fixed.
This was the very first image I took with then was a canon 350d. Many many moons ago. This is a composite of 10 images.
Put a $16 Holga HL-C lens on a $1,000 Sony a6300 cmera body and take your chances. I especially like the gritty, grungy street look.
Put a few (talented) people together and the great scenario of a theater in New York City, after a performance and a few glasses of wine, and you'll see all sorts of magic happening.... ;-)
Please check the 4 images of this series in the comment section.

Dressed down
This skirt has been feeling a bit frumpy to me lately. But it felt hipper when paired with a Star Wars tee and sneakers.
I like to put the casual in business casual. It is getting to be too hot for much business.
Shirt, Star Wars Store. Skirt, Carole Little (thrifted). Sneakers, Keds (thrifted). Belt, thrifted.
“Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless - like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.” Bruce Lee.
Trying out some text input thingy.. adding shadow to the letters and all that stuff.

Yes, I put my Uneeda Barbie Clone Heads a new body… a Barbie Reproduction Body!
It fits very well on head! The skin body is similar to head. This body is vintage, no matter if it is reproduction in works perfect! And they do not lost her glamorous style!
I like the Repros … they are really valuable for me but I have like two dozen of them! and my Uneeda heads were so sad!
The brunette already has a Barbie Reproduction body.
In my garden in Mountain Ash.
I put the moth trap out last night but only found the usual Spring suspects.
Zulieka in her new Sparkle Girlz outfit! It actually has arm holes under the ruffles but I didn't like the way it looked when I put it on her that way.

In a few months time it will be two years since I last put on make-up, a wig, a dress and stepped into high heels. The transvestite desire within me is dreaming of once more being set free but I do not foresee any opportunity in the coming year to indulge it. Circumstances currently prevent any cross-dressing opportunities and this will affect the future as well. I recognise I need to be patient as my focus has to be rightly on real life and not my fantasies being lived out in the occasional periods of dressing up as a woman.
The truth is I adore being a woman, despite being a man, I feel so comfortable emotionally appearing as a woman and I enjoy the trappings of femininity women can choose to indulge in should they wish. I love to wear make-up, it boosts my confidence, plucking my eyebrows genuinely gives my inner self a real boost as I feel more female. Shaving my legs, chest and arms, tuning away my male genitals and wearing knickers and a bra and having (false) breasts just feels so incredible I feel such inner joy and the sheer delight of slipping into a dress and stepping into high heels and donning a wig and dabbing on perfume….
Even writing about it sends me light head with pure joy. I do love being a woman when I can be. Of course being male certainly imposes limitations on my ability to look and act female so I have to accept I can never truly carry off what I dream of being when I free my transvestite self.
This picture forms part of my lifelong quest and dream of wishing I had a female face, an ambition I will never succeed with but as I say, one ca dream. I was age 55 when this picture was taken on 3 June 2014. I was imagining being female, and even wondered how it would be to go out and be appear alongside a man as the woman in my make-up, hair, dress and heels, scented and feeling girlie…
I conclude all my transvestite activities are untimely fantasy indulgences as I cross-dress in private and have rarely met another transvestite to socialise and chat with. I do like the notion of two women being out an about chatting and no-one realises they are men. All I know is my male gender does have powerful desires to send time appearing as a female and when I do it I feel so alive.
„Rogue Frontier" is a collaborative display that was put together by 24 members of RogueBricks and was on display at Bricking Bavaria 2022 near Nuremberg, Germany
After we had already built collaborative displays on themes like Pirates, Diesel Punk and Adventurers in recent years, this time we wanted to create a massive and immersive western-inspired diorama. But instead of doing the classic Wild West, we moved it to Canada, creating a tribute to the pioneering days up North.
Originally we had intended this collaboration for 2020 but Covid threw a wrench into things. It was amazing to finally put it together this year. It proved to be a massive success, taking home 1st place in both the public and expert voting categories – a testament to all the hard work paying off!
You will find a list of everyone’s contribution below, as well as links to their profiles where they’ll post their contributions in the coming days. My thanks to everyone involved - planning these collaborations is one thing, but to actually show up and build them in the end is an entirely different matter. We couldn’t have done it without all of these talented builders!
All 24 members and their contributions:
- Daniel Bodky (dbodky) : Daniel contributed a small church at the entrance of the town, as well as a small graveyard.
- Sascha Brüning (Speedyhead) and Michael Diermann (Boba1980) : Sascha and Michael brought a big fort to live, complete with a whole battalion of soldiers.
- Martin Gebert (MGibarian) : Between the fort and the central waterfall Martin’s module continues the landscaping and flora to tie things further together.
- Johannes Haimann (Vaionaut) : Johannes contributed two town houses along with a street and a path towards the coast. Additionally there’s a hobbit under the hill – where else would you find them after all?
- Jonas Kramm (Legopard) : Jonas’ native American village can be found left of the town, separated by a dripstone cave.
- Gino Lohse (YgrekLego) : Gino’s forest modules contain a band of hunters and lumberjacks, ready to do some important work, as well as their fireplace.
- Mark van der Maarel (steentje) : Mark contributed a gold mine along with workers and mine carts, situated at the bottom of the left mountain range.
- Fernando Pontes (Nando) : Nando continued to the train track that leads away from the train station and also contributed a water tower.
- Michael Pühlhöfer (Felix-the-Builder) : Michael’s modules contain a working saw mill that wowed the audience with its spinning mill wheel. Additionally he brought a canoe that circled the lake using magnets, and took care of the wiring of lights and motors throughout the collar.
- Jan Rähm (jrx) : As our resident Technic guru, Jan figured out how the train bridge in the back could collapse and reset itself using an ingenious wire mechanism.
- Christian Rau (Rauy) : Christian built a lovely snowed-in cabin in the mountains, complete with a trapper and hidden squirrels.
- Andrea Rollbühler (Andrea) : Andrea’s module on the left side of the coast contains a fisherman and his little hut, along with some livestock.
- Markus Rollbühler (rolli) : The big mountain on the left was built by Markus, which also integrated Jan’s bridge mechanism. Additionally he contributed the waterfall in the center that bridges the two levels of water.
- Luca Scheller (Luca s projects) : Luca built a small train station including lights. Additionally his module contained a motorized lumberjack that was working all weekend long on sawing down his little log.
- Stefan Schneider (Robo Block) : Stefan contributed the coastal cliff along with a sheriff and a residential building situated on top.
- Paul Trach (Disco86) : The big mountain on the right was built by Paul, complete with „Mount Roguemoore“, a wooden hut and a train to complete the bridge.
- Hannes Tscharner (Marshal_Banana) : Hannes built a part of the town close to the water, including a hotel with multiple floors, as well as a dock section.
- Filippos Tsialidis (Phil_DeLaGhetto) : As a budding dental technician, Fili provided the carriage of a certain professional colleague inspired from Django Unchained that now crosses the bridge into town. Additionally he built a the hideout of a moonshiner including a small pier.
- Marcel Veit (Marcel V.) : Marcel came in strong and helped filling in the landscape with a rocky forest section just next to the fort.
- Kevin J. Walter (Skywalter) : Kevin arrived with two massive ships, directly inspired by the Franklin expedition to the Canadian Arctic.
- Thomas Weigelt (Sylon) : Thomas built an encampment for numerous lumberjacks as well as a raft to transport logs into town.
- Marion Weintraut (Brixe) : Marion contributed a little hut just outside town, along with some lovely terrain.
- Ben Tritschler (modestolus) : Ben was a great driving force behind the project and would have contributed a big module. Unfortunately, he lost his battle with cancer earlier this year. As such this collaboration is dedicated to him. Waste your time well!
Please check out the collage containing dozens of close-up images showcasing some of the details we were able to put in.
If you’d like to know more about the collaboration and the planning behind it, we prepared a post over on RogueBricks covering all that. It is in German but GoogleTranslate will do wonders.
...for a least some of the time. I haven't put up much on Flickr recently, so I thought I'd put up a picture of what I'm currently using to try and motivate myself! While a lot of people don't like these equipment pictures, I like documenting what stuff I'm using, and find it interesting to look back over how it's changed.
This is what I normally take out if I don't fancy lugging around a lot of dslr stuff. As a (reasonably) lightweight set up it works well for me.
I took this on holiday with me over the summer, and to a recent wedding, and (at the moment at least) it hasn't let me down. So my equipment in detail:
Fuji X100: Took me a while to get used to this camera, but now I love it. For me the low light performance and almost silent shutter are brilliant. I hardly ever use flash and it's great to be able to take this to a restaurant or out for a walk in the evening and know I'll come back with wonderfully crisp images in any light.
Wrist strap I think originally from an Olympus Trip 35...
Olympus E-P1: Still going strong! Had this for a while (bought second hand like the Fuji) and it still is a cracking little camera. It's only real weakness is some pretty horrible noise in pictures when you bump the ISO up. I mainly use this as a base for manual focus lenses, and for that it's perfect. I've thought about upgrading to an EP-5 or OMD, but not yet at least...
Voigtländer neck strap.
Voigtländer 40mm f/1.4 with M mount adapter: A strong contender for the favourite lens I own, on any system. Beautiful both in it's construction and the sharpness of it's pictures. Wonderful focusing makes it a dream to use, I really can't recommend it enough. When I have the money I'll definitely be looking at more Voigtländer glass.
Olympus 15mm f/8 BCL: I've been meaning to pick one of these up for ages, and finally got one on promotion recently. It's in my bag at the moment so I can test it out fully, but also to do it's job as a low profile alternative to the Voigtländer.
Billingham Hadley Small: My second Billingham (I also have a Large), not much left to say that hasn't been said about them already, great bags that do a great job protecting anything I put in it.
Also in my bag are cleaning caps, card case, extra batteries for the X100 (It eats them) lens caps and whatever else I can fit into it.
