My new Iron Flesh spell afforded me enhanced protection, and my new Dread Zombie spell allowed me to reanimate even the most powerful foes once I've felled them.
Sorry for not being around on Flickr this weekend, but I'm in a bad mood because my cam died a "sudden death" after 6 years :-((
Hopefully it can be reanimated at the service center.
I have to decide on a new one, reading reviews, comparisons etc. ...
Have a wonderful sunday !

Brian Hooper Architect and m3architecture.
When driving to the union town of Barcaldine, home of the Australian Workers Heritage Centre, from the squatters’ town of Longreach (Stockman’s Hall of Fame, Qantas Founders Museum), a tiny black square starts to nudge across the vanishing point of Route 66. Closer, the pixel grows to a cube, a curious Ka’bah-like form crossing the highway. Closer again, a hollowness becomes apparent, the dark mass held above the horizon on eight legs, a burnt-black elevation allowing a few vertical slivers of animating light to appear and disappear in a veiling moiré effect. At eighteen-metres-cubed, the massive monument is wrapped by screens of charred timbers enclosing an array of sixty by sixty vertical timbers, recycled hardwood five-by-fives, suspended in a hanging grid. Orthogonal view lines open avenues to the horizon, with diagonals aligning to a secret second geometry. As in infinitely reflecting mirror cabinets, whether we look up, left or right, we find ourselves pinned at the intersection of insistently receding axes.
The ghost of the giant ghost gum is the central pole, the axis mundi. Its wrinkled, hollowed and patched trunk supports a few forlornly writhing final branches. It was a venerable old life form, near to the end of its days before the poisoning. The preserved remains have been returned to their exact origin. The timber cube shelters and venerates this sacred relic, but also aspires to invoke the living tree as it was in 1891. The architects have triangulated from historical photographs to plot the former branch spread as a negative spatial cast within the cube. Volumes of long-gone boughs are mapped in the billowing domical grids formed by 3,600 hanging timbers, each wooden tip chamfered obliquely into pentagonal leaf forms. The historic tree is rendered as a geometrically precise ghost, hollowed from the vast segmented mass of recycled timber, reanimated by passing breezes and enlivened by the slow movement of the sun.
At night, artificial lighting cranks up the metaphoric reading. The red-ochre pavement has inscribed bearings to the towns from which the strikers came. Uplights at each address illuminate the whitened end chamfers and solidify each canopy dome. The ancient root ball glows in an earth-red underground chamber, preserved for inspection below glass like an embalmed statesman in a mausoleum. Slightly-too-green top lighting through the hanging timbers brings a miraculously reborn tinge to the long-dead timbers, though it is only from down the street that the emerald lighting cloud coheres as a faint but persuasive outline of the phantom tree-in-a-box.

Riff, PD#18245, a land art monument celebrating 100 years of the Zuiderzee Act
A collaboration of artist Bob Gramsma and engineer WaltGalmarini AG
Riff, PD#18245 is a site-specific work, a Land Art monument. The tectonic work looks like it is emerging from the natural-cultural landscape and, at the same time, helps to frame it. A mound of soil was heaped up on a foundation of slanted pillars. Large cavities were dug into the mound and then cast in concrete, thus creating an inverted sculptural reproduction of the void in the mound. Afterwards, the mound was removed, and the concrete sculpture cleaned of loose soil and sand. The result is a large-scale work, supported by three stalactite-shaped concrete volumes and the pillars of the foundation, which are partially visible. The monument is in context with the horizon, the landscape and the sunset. A stairway leads up to the top of the structure, inviting visitors to overview its surface.
The process of digging uses the labour of construction to create traces of landscape – space without architecture. The sculpture re-interprets the material and historical conditions of the site. The slightly slanted volume echoes characteristics of the Polder, like dikes, ditches, canals, plots, embankment, drainage, extraction, renaturation and depilution (vertical segregation). At the same time, Riff, PD#18245 also appears foreign in this environment – a hull resting on slanted pillars, aligned with the dikes. It is reminiscent of other interventions in this particular landscape: water management, flood protections, the signs of the transition from fishing to agriculture, and the renaturation of the landscape. It literally emerges from, and melds into, the artificial topography, the geology, the IJsselmeer polder and the Zuiderzee bed.
At the same time, Riff, PD#18245 is a trace of the artistic and the production process, outlining an interstice between the present and the past. The trace as an index of the working process creates a nexus between time and spatiality. The monumental blueprint of an excavation, which has long since disappeared, turns into a poetic sculpture, a hollow resonant body with a natural patina growing over time. Riff, PD#18245 looks southwest westward across the renatured land in the direction of the sunset and the amusement parks, providing a visual link to the Veluwemeer and the Flevopolder, the largest man-made island and its physical vastness.
Riff, PD#18245 becomes a space for the audience to project, or to reanimate, their understanding of the site, its history and its present. The sculpture is at once a tool to reflect on history and an incitement for the viewer to dream those stories. It is a way of visualizing both absence and presence, a sculpted ghost, or spirit, that opens up a new space for rethinking the relationship between material and memory. It is a residue of memory, honouring the past, while serving the present. By means of the elemental exposure of the earth, the missing cast, and the past that it encapsulates, we are reminded that earth and its history — as well as the cosmic forces or energies shaping it — are beyond human intelligibility. But we can try to understand, or appreciate, their unfathomable presence in time as we access this exhumed vestige.
Production
After creating a foundation by driving piles deep into the ground, a huge mound (70 x 40 x 7 m, 15.000 m3) was heaped up on top of it, consisting of sand and clay from the agricultural land and from the bottom of the Zuiderzee on the site. A wide sinkhole, reaching 2 m under sea level, and two narrow deep pits, reaching down to the level of the pillars, were dug into the mound. Reinforcement structures were built, and concrete poured and pneumatically projected into the cavities to produce an inverted sculptural reproduction of the empty space. After the concrete had dried, the heaped-up soil was bulldozed away and returned to build the new environment for the New Nature Programme. An immersive sculpture, whose platform hovers above the ground, is revealed. A small staircase cuts into the platform. The piece is approx. 37,5 m long, 13 m wide and 7 m high.
Using the local soil as false work, as well as formwork, and reusing it after the production for the new reserve is a very ecological, as well as economical, casting technique. It allows to produce an intricate seamless hollow concrete cast in one piece. After the structure was cleaned, it is ready for the public and the winds to take over. Within time, an ecosystem will evolve on the inside of the hollow body, and the surface will be partly covered with moss, chalk, and salt efflorescence. Little gaps in the shell enable insects and animals to build viable habitats inside the hollow body. The whole production process was open to the public to provide an in-depth vision and understanding in the making of Riff, PD#18245. The sculpture itself thus starts to generate memories in the minds of the audience – a process that will continue well into the future as weather and nature gradually take over the sculpture, altering its shape and functions over time, while the wind is playing on its resonant body.

For the Big Toy Hut LEGO Zombie Contest;unfortunately, I've never seen the voodoo/bayou theme played out in LEGO in relation to the usage of voodoo dolls to reanimate the dead. So I tried it (although I am not a fan of zombies at all, I really enjoy the grungy bayou theme.) I've been focusing on composition quite a bit as of late; also, I think that the brown water is a refreshing (or more appropriately, unrefreshing!) deviation from the usually blue and occasional sand green.
In this vignette, a bokor summons three corpses back to this world through the use of voodoo dolls. Also, since zombies are ficticious, I thought I may as well throw in some Gator-Men!
This is a continuation of the previous extinct birds plate in www.flickr.com/photos/10770266@N04/5043889621/
The species represented here are:
1. Alaotra grebe (Tachybaptus rufolarvatus)
This small waterfowl was endemic to lake Alaotra in Madagascar and have the sad "honour" of be the last bird declared extinct. Last record was in 1985 and the bird was declared extinct in march 2010, before that, the last declared extinct bird was the po'o-uli, treated in this same plate (number 5). Form this bird exist only one photograph of an alive bird. Causes of extinction are habitat destruction and introduced predatory fishes. Also hybridation with the widespread Little Grebe (T. ruficollis) played, but as this alwas happened before human destruction of Madagascar, this last fact only can damage a previously damaged population. In the Lake Alaotra also lives an endemic pochard (Aythya innotata) that was declared extinct, but in 2006 I readed that it was rediscovered alive so my hopes for the grebe aumented. However the grebe don't had the same luck as the pochard.
2. Red-moustached fruit dove (Ptilinopus mercierii)
This pigeon, as colorful as other fruit doves, lived once in Marquesas islands in Polynesia. This bird had two different subspecies but both are extinct now. It was extinct due to predators introduced by humans: owls, cats and rats.
3. Crested shelduck (Tadorna cristata)
This magnific duck lived in eastern Asia. Last reliable record was in 1964 although many sight was reported in recent times, so is slightly possible that the bird is not extinct. Direct hunt and habitat loss are the causes of its extinction.
4. Red rail (Aphanapteryx bonasia)
One more of the many Mauritius bird that, as the dodo, was killed after the discovery of the Western Indian Ocean islands by occidental explorers. Rails (family Rallidae) seems to have one of the highest tendence to extinction, probably because many are reluctant to fly, or even unable (the Red Rail was flightless), as well as sensitive to habitat destruction and often chased for food. Red Rail was known from bones, old paintings and descriptions. It was discovered around 1600 and it't known than a number to alive ones was brought to Europe. This bird was extinct by direct hunt for food. Also introduced pigs helped, eating eggs and chicks. Around 1700 the bird was disappeared.
5. Po'o-uli (Melamprosops phaeosoma)
This is the last bird species to die with an exact extinction date, the 28th November 2004. As many other Hawaiian honeycreepers (Drepanididae), that became extinct or are being extincted now, this bird suffered a lot the diseases caused by introduced mosquitoes in Hawaii. It was discovered in 1973 with a population estimated of 200 individuals, but in 2002 only three birds left, one female was captured and brought to a zone where lived the last male. But the female flew away to her own territory in next day. In 2004 was planned to capture the three birds and bring to a recovering center. So the male was captured and brough to the center, but none female could be captured before the male died of avian malaria, three months after captured. Probably these two females died too.
6. Bonin grosbeak (Chaunoproctus ferreorostris)
This finch was seen only in Chichi-jima island in the Bonin Islands (Japan). Discovered in 1827, three years after the island was used by whale killers, and in 1854 an expedition don't found the bird anymore, that probably died because of the introduced predators and other destructive animals: pigs, rats, dogs, goats, sheep and cats. Like the Bonin Thrush (Zoothera terrestris), the bird disappeared from these islands, and then, from the world. Now we count with about 10 taxidermy specimens.
7. Bachman's warbler (Vermivora bachmani)
A small colorful insectivorous from North America that was not seen since 1988. Probably is extinct due to habitat destruction, but as recently as in 2002 a female bird was filmed in Cuba and could belong to this species.
8. Carolina parakeet (Conuropsis carolinensis)
Almost as well known as the dodo between extinct birds, due to its North American origin and the dramatic, almost impossible to believe, human stupidness of its extinction. This beautiful parrot was the only North American parrot, living even in temperate climates. Flocks of thousands of birds flew in the past in the sky, feeding overall in the fruits of Xanthium strumarium, an invasive weed that grows in cultivation fields. But the humans saw the parakeets in these fields and authomatically thinked that the bird feeds on the plants that they grow, instead of the weeds. So a giant persecution started and farmers killes thousands and thousands of this bird every day. Parrots are amongst most intelligent birds and they have personality and strong feelings. When Carolina parakeets are shot and killed, other parakeets go close to the died bodies trying to reanimate, in an unusual solidary behaviour. Then the farmers kill them more and more and more parakeets come to cry for the deads and are killed again attracting more parakeets etc... this never stop until last parakeet was killed. Last wild Carolina parakeet was killed in 1904, and captive ones lived a bit more, last individual in the world, "Incas", died in Cincinnati zoo in 21th February 1918, while the last female, "Lady Jane", died a year before in same zoo. "Incas" died in the same enclosure than the last Passenger Pigeon (number 13), died four years before. This parakeet breeded very well in captivity and much more could have been done for keep them in worlds zoos. Other causes of extinction was destruction of forest and introduction of european Honey Bee, that takes the nesting places.
9. Labrador duck (Camptorhynchus labradorius)
This marine duck of North America had a lifestyle similar to the eiders, harliquin ducks and scoters. The last sight was on 1878, three years before the last preserved individual was shooted. Causes of extinction are not clear, hunt for food is a reason but the bird is reported that don't tastes good. Collectong of eggs and killing for feathers can also be a reason, as well as decreasing of some mollusks by overcollecting.
10. Guam flycatcher (Myiagra freycineti)
I choosed this bird because I found good photos of them alive, beucase it's extinction is very recent. The only cause of it's extinction is the introduction of a predator, the Brown tree snake (Boiga irregularis) . Last sight of this bird was in 1983.
11. Raiatea parakeet (Cyanoramphus ulietanus)
Like some other parakeets in this genus, C. ulietanus is gone. It was endemic to Raiatea island in Polynesia. This bird is only known by two collected specimens, and was not seen anymore after 1773. Probably it disappeared due to forest destruction, direct hunt and introduced predators.
12. Pink-headed duck (Rhodonessa caryophyllacea)
This atonishing duck from India is extinct since 1950's. Always was a rare bird and no much is known about it, probably its evanishing is due to habitat destruction. Last shooted individual was on 1935. Exist a photo of several alive pink-headed ducks in captivity in Foxwarren Park, England, taken about 1925.
13. Passenger pigeon (Ectopistes migratorius)
Probably the most famous extinct bird after the dodo. Similar to Carolina Parakeet in their distribution, habits, and way and date of extinction. Passenger pigeons formed the largest bird focks ever, that can reach even more than TWO BILLION birds!!!!!! The flocks destroy branches with its weight. Despite that, now we don't have none more than taxidermy specimens. The birds was first chased as a cheap meat for slaves and poors, decreasing quickly the number of pigeons, and forest destruction deleted the pigeons habitat. Last wild bird was seen on 1900, and "Martha", the last passenger pigeon, died in Cincinnati Zoo in 1914.

14. Greater akialoa (Hemignathus ellisianus)
As is said in number 5, and in the other plate about the Mamo (Drepanis pacifica), the Hawaiian honeycreepers (Drepanididae) lost many species and many are disappearing now, and the major cause are the diseases transmited by introduced mosquitoes. The genus Hemignathus count with several olivaceous medium-sized birds with long curved bills, some of them still alive, but mainly extinct. The greater Akialoa was the one with longest bill. It had three subspecies, all of them extinct. Between all subspecies it inhabited islands of Oahu, Lanai, Molokai and Maui. Last record was in 1969, in Kauai. Like other Drpanididae, this species disappeared due to diseases and habitat destruction.
15. Robust white-eye (Zosterops strenuus)
This bird was endemic to Lord Howe island, near Australia. Probably it disappeared due to the introduction of black rats in the island. In 1923, the bird was extinct. Another species of white-eye, Zosterops lateralis, are still alive, but the subspecies of Lord Howe island is threatened.
16. Slender moa (Dinornis giganteus)
Moas are some of the most fascinating extinct birds. They formed a family of about 12 species of giant flightless birds endemic to New Zealands. The smallest species, Euryapteryx curtus, is not bigger than a chicken, while the biggest, Dinornis giganteus, was the tallest bird ever in human times, more than 3 meters high. Almost all moas was extinct when first Maoris arrived to New Zealand, coming from Polynesian. At least three species: Dinornis robustus, Emeus crassus and Megalapteryx didinus, passed the frontier of the XVI century, and was probably seen by the first Europeans that arrived to the islands in XVII century. Moas evolved in the island due to absence of any large mammal, and was predated by the also extinct Haas't eagle (Harpagornis moorei) before Maoris extincted this eagle.
Moas was scarce even before the arrival of Maoris to New Zealand, and maybe they could be extinct now without human help.
Moas are similar to Kiwis because they lost completely the wings. Is supposed that Kiwis are the closest living relatives. Several bones of many species was founs, as well as some feathers, and even a mummified head of Megalapteryx didinus.
Here can be seen a size comparison between skeletons of Ostrich, the largest living bird, and Dinornis giganteus.
es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archivo:Kiwi,_ostrich,_Dinornis.jpg
17 Ryukyu wood pigeon (Columba jouyi)
This nice bird was endemic of Okinawa islands in Japan. It was extinct due to habitat destruction. Last record of this species is on 1904. If any remaining bird left, the complete destruction of the forest of these islands by milician settlement prerpairing for World War II, destroyed for sure the last of these pigeons.
18. Liverpool pigeon (Caloenas maculata)
This amazing creature is known by only two taxdermy individuals, one of which is lost, the other is conserved in Liverpool Pigeon and without any kind of location data. Pressumably it was collected in South East Asia, where lives the only close relative today, the Nicobar Pigeon.
19. Oahu O'o (Moho apicalis)
Moho is a fantastic genus with 4 species endemic to Hawaii islands, all of theme are already extinct. The O'os species are black, with long and curved bill, yellow plumes in the body and a strange tail. As in Hawaiian honeycreepers (see number 5 and 14), these true honeyeaters (Meliphagidae) suffered the diseases transmited by introduced mosquitoes, as well as habitat destruction, and direct chase for feathers. The Oahu o's (Moho apicalis) was extinct in 1837, the Molokai o's (M. bishopi) in 1904, the Hawaii o'o (M. nobilis) in 1934 and the Kauai o'o (M. braccatus) in 1987.
20. Mauritius blue pigeon (Alectroenas nitidissima)
The history is repeated among all these Mauritius, Comores and Seychelles birds. The dodo is the most famous but much more birds of the tropical western Indian Ocean islands was gone at same time. Only three taxidermy specimens rest now. Last specimen shooted was in 1826 and is one of the three remaining stuffed specimens, probably the species only lived few years more. Habitat destruction, direct hunt, and predation by introduced monkeys are probably the causes of extinction.
21. Atitlan grebe (Podilymbus gigas)
This bird, very similar to the common and widespread Pied-billed Grebe (Podilymbus podiceps) but much bigger and unable to fly, was restricted only to the Atitlan lake in Guatemala. Probably it have the most well documented history of decline and extinction between birds. It also count with the best photo ever made to an alive specimen of an extinct bird now. Causes of extinction are destruction of the nesting areas, introduction of large predatory fishes that compited with the adults for food and chased the chicks, and an earthquacke that reduced the water level of the lake in 1976. The last two birds were seen in 1989.
22. Red-headed macaw (Ara erythrocephala)
As said in the other plate for Ara atwoodi, this is only one of the many extinct macaws of the Caribbean islands. Like other macaws, this one from Jamaica is hypothetical due to the lack of reliable registers: it's known only by descriptions. Probably it was hunted for foor and as pet until extinction in early XIX century.
23. Choiseul pigeon (Microgoura meeki)
This atonishing bird, as his name says, resembles very much a miniature version of the New Guinean crowned pigeons, Goura spp. It lived on Choiseul island in the Solomon Islands. In 1904 six individuals and an egg was collected and sent to a museum. Causes of extinction are human hunt and predation by introduced cats and dogs.
Many more species of birds was extinct by humans between XVI and XXI centuries. This and the other plate are only a small part. Since XVII century the number of extinct birds is of 165. And this is only birds! Counting other animals, plants, fungus, etc. a species are disappearing now EVERY 15 SECONDS!!!!
Much more birds species are evanishing now and will do in the future. We must put as many effort as we can for protect them.

Introducing my Self-MOC! This is actually the 12th version (12.4 to be exact) and a character reboot, though, and I have revamped the whole thing again since this version, too. I will post a picture showing some of the previous versions (I don't have pictures of pre-7th versions, except for the very first), just so you can get an idea of the evolution of the character.
---DESCRIPTION---
Nicknamed "Rahksha" due to her Makuta heritage, Nyctoria is somewhat of a Toa: the most accurate way to put it is, she's a protector...of sorts. She has a strong link with the Netherverse, enabling her to draw on its dark power to perform necromancy, as well as harvest souls and summon them as Netherwalkers (inhabitants of the Netherverse) with her scythe. She can also reanimate corpses to serve her by using seals on their Kanohi.
However, the power of the Netherverse always takes it toll, and the user's soul - and therefore body - will decay the more they use it. The only way to maintain oneself is to harvest the souls of others. Hence, Nyctoria hunts down villains to defeat and consume.
While Nyctoria does defend others from Makuta and other threats, she is not altrustic in her motives -- she will just as easily consume innocents if there is no other source available, and rarely helps others unless she perceives them or the target as useful in her quest for revenge against her "father", Teridax -- and by extension, her de facto creator, Mutran.
As an individual, Nyctoria is largely anti-social, apathetic and an on-off misanthrope - hardly surprising considering her origins. That being said, she is not without a sense of justice and empathy, although her concept of morality is nonexistent at worst and dubious at best.

History:
Jeremiah Corbeau lived in the wetlands of Cajun territory and grew up wrangling snakes and hunting alligators in the bayous of the Deep South. He is described as being a loner who goes about his business and is not very friendly. On one of his hunting trips he came across a mysterious mask that once belonged to a Voodoo priest named Koulev. The mask’s origins date back 300 years ago and had been lost during a hurricane for over a decade. Corbeau felt an eerie persuasion to put the mask on and gained its raw mystic power. His strength and agility have been enhanced and he discovered that he can control reptiles to do is bidding. Jeremiah’s touch can paralyze an opponent and he has the ability to negatively alter a person’s luck. He can control a person’s mind with a form of hypnosis and is resistant to poisons. Where his true power lies is in the vast amount of abilities he can do with magic. Among the powers are Astral Projection, Magic Detection, Energy Blast, Ensnarement, ESP, Force Field, Illusion, Telekinesis, Telepathy, and Self Teleportation. Perhaps his most frightening power is his ability to reanimate the dead and have them serve him. He has done this on a few occasions in the swamps near his hometown. The mask itself does not have control over Corbeau, but he wears it often like an addiction. His powers are limited and he must rest to recharge them. The effects of wearing the mask have even granted him resistance to poison and the ability boosts that decreases each hour the mask is not being worn. An overwhelming desire to locate more artifacts connected to the mask directed him to New Blok City. Now using the name of Voodoom, he terrorizes the citizens of New Blok in search of relics that will help him become more powerful. His actions will undoubtedly put him against the cities’ heroes, but Voodoom is not concerned about these obstacles for the time being. New Blok city has a new threat to her citizens and it spells doom …..VOODOOM!

Kaff-eine illustration for URBAN SCRAWL exhibition
Original: Pigment ink and watercolour on Arches paper 420 x 594 mm (500 x 700 mm framed) SOLD
URBAN SCRAWL is a collaborative collision between street art, light painting, photography and words from four of Melbourne’s most diverse urban artists.
Emerging from their shadowy haunts for the MIDSUMMA FESTIVAL are Kaff-eine, aerosol dynamo and prolific paster; and Precious Little, street art sweetheart and poetess mess. They are joined by light alchemists Tigtab and Blacklodge, who—through photography and ethereal illuminations—inject intimacy into forgotten spaces and reanimate sites of urban decay.
Navigating the monolithic themes of love, life, death and the minutiae in between, together they lead the expedition into the clandestine corners of Melbourne, from the painted laneways to the subterranean catacombs, snaking like a circulatory system beneath the city’s skin.
URBAN SCRAWL is where identity and ephemera intersect.

"The last thing you see is those lights... before they come at you and tear your chest open."
A husk of a toa reanimated and mutated by so many souls that it may as well have none. Blind and driven only by hunger for life. Senses souls. Appears to live in the Keep of the Leech, from where it ventures out, but avoids the Sanctum of the Divided due to Nor's presence.
The cataclysm had shown to mess with life. Many were unable to die, while others were unable to live. In the chaos the most desperate grasping for life became monsters.

There was no particular motivation for this moc. I had recently traded with a pal for some teal parts, so I challenged myself to make a teal and purple moc with the limited piece amount I had in those colors. For extra flare I threw some glow-in-the-dark in. Also to act as fingers, since black nor silver were an option.
I managed to discover some neat techniques while building this, but I was also left a bit disappointed with the crotch. I didn't really have the right parts to make it adequate.

In a scorched world devoured by war, Unit 13 stalks the remnants of humanity — a zombified T-800 reanimated through corrupted Skynet code and dark biotech. Its once-pristine chassis now rusts beneath rotting synthetic tissue, its crimson optics flickering with undead rage. Exposed wires hang like sinew from its skeletal frame, and its talon-like hands claw through ash and bone with chilling precision. Beneath a blood-red sky, it roams the desolation, neither living nor fully machine — a soulless predator powered by death, decay, and algorithmic instinct.
This bug fully camouflaged on the bark but no one can escape from long exposure!
It has green rear leg and one of them lost unfortunately. I could not find exact spi. but i thought that it is a stink bug.

Today's story and sketch "by me", as you look into the back of it, you
see sketched for the first time the "Orange Smokey Mountains Theme Park" here
in Wonder World. It was a surprise to Knobby when the Mountains were transported
in the greatest Swap of some Smokey Mountains from Tennessee, for Swamp land
from Sunny Southern Florida, all done by Knobby Gofish's cousin Billy's, (Big Billies Extraterrestrial Mountain Moving Technologies). But after the swap they
quit Smoking, not a whiff of smoke or even fog. Seems the air is to Muggy and Hot
in Florida for the Naturally occurring Blue Misty Smoke in Tennessee. That was
almost a deal breaker for opening day, of the first Smokey Mountain Theme Park on this or any other Moon or Planet in our Galaxy. But when Knobby gets into anything technical and needs help, he always goes to his go to Technical Advisor,
and reanimated crash test dummy friend, "Rescue Randy" at one time was just
an Anatomically Correct Crash Test Dummy that fell into the Ocean, then he laid
on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean for a year. One day he was found by a crew doing underwater maintenance on an Offshore Oil Platform (the Exxon Hondo), the divers threw the Barnacle encrusted Dummy (nicknamed Randy) by the Hondo Crew, into a Dumpster. But what Luck for Randy, another underwater crew of Aliens from Lippo (the Blue Moon) were also doing research in the Santa Barbara Channel, who were watching the whole ordeal, and felt sorry for the Dummy, they took him to the Alien Reanimation Laboratory at the campus of "UCSB" in Isla Vista, and when he came to life he had most if not all of the wisdom of the Universe. But this is not a story about Randy or how the reanimation was performed, for most of our readers have already read his story.
But today is about of the Alien you see in the beautiful B&R Galaxy Astro Glider
at the top of this sketch, and he is the Master of Intergalactic Pyrotechnics,
The little grey Alien who is only known as (Sparkly Juan) no one knows where
he is from or where he keeps his 47 Wives, they are a story for another time.
But check in on tomorrows tale when we find out how every hour on the hour,
Sparkly creates the Orange Smoke coming out of the mountains, and even bigger
thrill at night when the sky lights up with an Orange Smokey Glow.
But this tale will continue tomorrow, until then taa ta the Rod Blog.

...so as the blood is reanimated it will slowly bubble to the top and at that point we can proceed with the transfusion.

Das Interessanteste an diesem Foto ist der Film, auf dem es aufgenommen wurde.
Es handelt sich nämlich um Kinomaterial, d. h., es ist ein Film, der eigentlich für das Drehen von Kinofilmen gedacht war. Ein paar engagierte Leute haben sich ein paar Rollen dieses Materials besorgt und in Kleinbild-Patronen reingespult ("hand rolled", wie der Lateiner sagt). Damit der Film aber im C41-Prozess entwickelt werden kann, musste zuerst noch eine zusätzliche Schicht ("remjet layer") entfernt werden, die beim ursprünglichen Einsatz dazu diente, elektrostatische und Halo-Effekte zu vermeiden. Das ist offensichtlich gelungen und wird reanimated film genannt. Es scheint ein recht hochauflösendes, feinkörniges Material mit dezenten Farben zu sein.
Nicht ganz so zufrieden mit der Verarbeitung war mein Labor. Der Film ist offensichtlich nicht direkt am Spulenkern befestigt, sondern am Filmrest der verwendeten gebrauchten Patrone angeklebt. Auch sollte man die Patrone von zuviel Licht fernhalten, der Filmschlitz schließt nicht mehr ganz dicht. Die Hälfte meines Films litt unter Lichteinfall.
Meine Kamera für diese Aktion war die Zenit-B, bestückt mit dem Primoplan.

Der besondere Farbeffekt ist einem speziellen Film geschuldet, den ich hier schon beschrieben habe. Allerdings scheint er inzwischen durch die Lagerung etwas gelitten zu haben.
Aufgenommen mit der Voigtländer Vito B (mit dem 3,5er Skopar)
nice to see they reanimated this corner of University's botanic garden and now are selling the plants for the private gardens (at the dachas :-) [old photo is below]
Nein, ich möcht nicht mit meinen Englischkenntnissen angeben.
Aber bei diesem Anblick ist mir eine Zigarrenmarke in den Sinn gekommen. Und wo ich mich doch Alf Sigaro nenne ;-)
Nochmal ein Foto, das auf dem Film gemacht wurde, den ich hier schon näher geschildert habe.
Obviously a not so well KONO! reanimated film Kolorit 400T. The lab noted, that the film was wrong in the cartridge and had something on the emulsion. It goes through the whole film. You can see these dots here. This is the only somehow usable picture. Luckily I used it only to test the 35 mm option on my Yashica TLR and the pictures where not important at all. The colors though seem to be nice in artificial light. I measured this film @400 ISO.
Made in 2020, the figure has a ten gallon hat, Hawkeye's head, blue overalls, sleeves from Alice from the Disney cmf (which I didn't have so I painted to look similar), kneepads and a belt from the Xtreme line, a cutup handcuff for the robot hand, and a guitar. Made in honor of Kitty0706, as today was his birthday and the release of the Team Fabulous 2 Reanimated. Here is a link if you want to watch it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPV_3jkEpqI
