Again, two worlds: on the right, the reflection of a lady in the window of a train passing through a station at great speed. On the left, what you perceive from the station from the perspective of the train. What is moving? The train or the train station?
The detritus from my desk, shelves, work room, etc. is seemingly endless. A stack of Canon Body and end-caps for cameras I no longer have, with reference to Nikon and Leica; when was the last time I used a bulb release?
Yamdrok Yutso ཡར་འབྲོག་གཡུ་མཚོ་ yar 'brog g.yu mtsho
The sacred lake of Yamdrok Yutso (4408 m) is revered as a talisman, supporting the life-spirit of the Tibetan nation. It is said that should its waters dry, Tibet will no longer be habitable. By far the largest lake in South Tibet ( 754 sq km ), the pincer-shaped Yamdrok Yutso has nine islands, one of which houses a monastery and a Padmasambhava stone footprint. Within its hook-shaped western peninsula, there is another entire lake, Dremtso and beyond its southeast extremity yet another, named Pagyutso.

I really enjoy just how much can be invested in a single image. They are like a bookmark, not just of a particular place or a specific time, but for an experience. They can be the keystone that holds together so many memories. The linchpin that secures those thoughts and feelings together. The proverbial file folder in which various troves of data get stored. I can remember this hike because of this photo. And not just because this photo exists now, but because I knew I was going to make this photo, even before it existed. The impending act of photography had me paying attention and readying all that I was feeling, seeing, smelling, hearing, experiencing, etc - ready to invest it into the image that would be the result, so that looking upon that photo later would call back all those experiences. It was the quiet sense of solitude that is unique to upper alpine hiking. The slight nip to the air as the sun set and temperatures dropped. The incessant annoyance of the mosquitos and four dozen minuscule deaths I inflicted upon the hordes that harried me. It was the scale of the landscape and the mountain towering in front of me. The feeling of peace that I always get so far from the bustle of city life. The sense of timelessness, or at least of time on a geological rather than human scale. The sounds of my boots and my breath and so little else other than the wind. The wonder at seeing rocks eroded at a glacial pace... quite literally. And the beauty of the place.
And I guess that is what I am thinking with this image. We make photos to tell stories. Sometimes those stories are for others and sometimes those stories are for ourselves. And the same photo can tell very different stories in those two circumstances. I enjoy both but I much prefer that latter situation.

Glen Coe is a glen in the Highlands of Scotland.
It lies in the southern part of the Lochaber committee area of Highland Council, and was formerly part of the county of Argyll. It is often considered one of the most spectacular and beautiful places in Scotland, and is a part of the designated National Scenic Area of Ben Nevis and Glen Coe. The narrow glen shows a grim grandeur.
The glen, approaching from the east on the main A82 road, is surrounded by wild and precipitous mountains. Further west at Invercoe, the landscape has a softer beauty before the main entrance to the glen. The main settlement is the nearby village of Glencoe located in Carnoch.
The name Glen Coe is often said to mean "Glen of Weeping", perhaps with some reference to the infamous Massacre of Glencoe which took place there in 1692. However, "Gleann Comhann" does not translate as "Glen of Weeping". In fact the Glen is named after the River Coe which runs through it, and bore this name long before the 1692 incident. The name of the river is believed to predate the Gaelic language and its meaning is not known. One possibility is that it was named after a tribe once living in the area; however this remains speculation.
SN/NC: Hibiscus Tiliaceus, Malvaceae Family
Hibiscus tiliaceus, commonly called sea hibiscus or mahoe, is an evergreen shrub or small tree that is native to tropical regions of Asia where it is often found growing along coasts and in low moist areas. It is now grown as an ornamental in tropical and subtropical areas around the world. Flowers last only one day, opening in the morning as lemon yellow with dark maroon throats, but turning dull red by evening when they drop to the ground. Simple, heart-shaped leaves (to 8"long and 6" wide) with pointed tips are bright green above and hairy gray-green beneath. Fruits are brown ovoid dry capsules. Roots and flowers have medicinal value. In Asia, mahoe is harvested for the fiber in its trunk which is made into rope. Genus name is the old Greek and Latin name for mallow.
Specific epithet comes from tilia, the genus of basswood/linden, in reference to leaf similarity.
Hibiscus tiliaceus, gewoonlijk zeehibiscus of mahoe genoemd, is een groenblijvende struik of kleine boom die inheems is in tropische regio's van Azië, waar hij vaak langs kusten en in vochtige gebieden groeit. Het wordt nu gekweekt als sierplant in tropische en subtropische gebieden over de hele wereld. Bloemen gaan maar één dag mee, openen 's ochtends als citroengeel met donkere kastanjebruine kelen, maar worden' s avonds dof rood als ze op de grond vallen. Eenvoudige, hartvormige bladeren (tot 8 "lang en 6" breed) met puntige uiteinden zijn heldergroen aan de bovenkant en harig grijsgroen aan de onderkant. Vruchten zijn bruin eivormige droge capsules. Wortels en bloemen hebben geneeskrachtige waarde. In Azië wordt mahoe geoogst voor de vezels in de stam die tot touw worden verwerkt. Geslachtsnaam is de oude Griekse en Latijnse naam voor kaasjeskruid.Specifieke bijnaam komt van tilia, het geslacht van basswood / linde, met betrekking tot bladgelijkenis.
Hibiscus tiliaceus es una especie de árbol perteneciente a la familia Malvaceae, originaria de los trópicos del Viejo Mundo. Conocida con el nombre de majagua común de Cuba o majahua. Su epíteto se refiere al parecido de sus hojas con las de los tilos.
La madera de H. tiliaceus tiene un peso específico de 0,6. Se ha utilizado en una variedad de aplicaciones , como la construcción de canoas, leña, y tallas de madera. Con su resistente corteza se puede hacer en duradera cuerda, para el sellado de grietas en los barcos. La corteza y raíces se pueden hervir para hacer un té para enfriar fiebres y con sus jóvenes y frondosas brotes se pueden comer como verdura. Los nativos de Hawái utilizan la madera para hacer Iako (palos) para Wa'a (canoas), mouo (redes de pesca flotantes), y 'au ko'i (asas de azuelas)
Uma das mais lindas flores. Tem semelhança com o quiabo e o algodão e só dura 24 horas e já cai do pé. De raríssima beleza e muito delicada. O algodoeiro-da-praia, algodoeiro-da-índia ou majagua é uma árvore que atinge até 08 metros de altura, da família das malváceas, também conhecida pelos nomes de aguaxima-do-mangue, baru, embira, embira-do-mangue, guaxima-do-mangue, ibaxama, manhoco, quiabo-do-mangue e uacima-da-praia. Madeira frágil usada para embalagens delicadas e também para canoas já que é uma madeira flexível. Em algumas áreas é considerada invasiva. Na Ásia se usa muito para fazer cordas, já que é muito forte para isso.
Hibiscus tiliaceus, comunemente chiamato ibisco di mare o mahoe, è un arbusto sempreverde o piccolo albero originario delle regioni tropicali dell'Asia dove si trova spesso a crescere lungo le coste e in zone a bassa umidità. Ora è coltivato come ornamentale nelle aree tropicali e subtropicali di tutto il mondo. I fiori durano solo un giorno, aprendosi al mattino come giallo limone con gola marrone scuro, ma diventano rosso opaco la sera quando cadono a terra. Le foglie semplici a forma di cuore (lunghe fino a 8 pollici e larghe 6 pollici) con punte appuntite sono verde brillante sopra e grigio-verde pelose sotto. I frutti sono capsule secche ovoidali marroni. Radici e fiori hanno un valore medicinale. In Asia, il mahoe viene raccolto per la fibra nel suo tronco che viene trasformata in corda. Il nome del genere è l'antico nome greco e latino della malva.L'epiteto specifico deriva da tilia, il genere di tiglio / tiglio, in riferimento alla somiglianza delle foglie.
Hibiscus tiliaceus, communément appelé hibiscus de mer ou mahoe, est un arbuste à feuilles persistantes ou un petit arbre originaire des régions tropicales d'Asie où il pousse souvent le long des côtes et dans les zones peu humides. Il est maintenant cultivé comme plante ornementale dans les régions tropicales et subtropicales du monde entier. Les fleurs ne durent qu'un jour, s'ouvrant le matin en jaune citron avec une gorge marron foncé, mais devenant rouge terne le soir lorsqu'elles tombent au sol. Les feuilles simples en forme de cœur (jusqu'à 8 "de long et 6" de large) avec des extrémités pointues sont vert vif au-dessus et poilues gris-vert en dessous. Les fruits sont des capsules sèches ovoïdes brunes. Les racines et les fleurs ont une valeur médicinale. En Asie, le mahoe est récolté pour la fibre dans son tronc qui est transformé en corde. Le nom du genre est l'ancien nom grec et latin de la mauve.L'épithète spécifique vient de tilia, le genre de tilleul / tilleul, en référence à la similitude des feuilles.
Hibiscus tiliaceus, allgemein als Seehibiskus oder Mahoe bezeichnet, ist ein immergrüner Strauch oder kleiner Baum, der in tropischen Regionen Asiens heimisch ist und häufig an Küsten und in Gebieten mit geringer Feuchtigkeit wächst. Es wird heute als Zierpflanze in tropischen und subtropischen Gebieten auf der ganzen Welt angebaut. Die Blüten halten nur einen Tag und öffnen sich morgens zitronengelb mit dunkelbraunen Kehlen, färben sich aber abends matt rot, wenn sie zu Boden fallen. Einfache, herzförmige Blätter (bis 8 "lang und 6" breit) mit spitzen Spitzen sind oben hellgrün und unten haarig grau-grün. Früchte sind braune eiförmige trockene Kapseln. Wurzeln und Blüten haben medizinischen Wert. In Asien wird Mahoe für die Faser in seinem Stamm geerntet, der zu einem Seil verarbeitet wird. Der Gattungsname ist der altgriechische und lateinische Name für Malve.Spezifisches Epitheton stammt von Tilia, der Gattung der Linde / Linde, in Bezug auf die Blattähnlichkeit.

Cette expression née au milieu du XIXe siècle est une référence au domaine maritime où le "grain" était une tempête de vent imprévisible, contre laquelle il fallait être très vigilant. Depuis, on dit que l'on "veille au grain" lorsque l'on se méfie d'un événement qui pourrait nous être préjudiciable.
This expression born in the middle of the nineteenth century is a reference to the maritime domain where the "grain" was an unpredictable wind storm, against which one had to be very vigilant. Since then, it has been said that we "watch out" when we are suspicious of an event that could be harmful to us.

Both of us wanted to work together on a model for a long time. The subject of the collaboration was found rather quick – the Slave 1 of Boba Fett, as seen in the original trilogy. We wanted to test a digital-first approach with stud.io for this model, which also enabled close collaboration from the get-go despite the status of the world. While it was an unusual take on that model and a completely new experience for us, it allowed us to combine our unique strengths in style and building, bringing the best results out of our joint work. We iteratively pitched concepts and ideas, challenged (and sometimes stressed) each other. But in the end, we think this particularly elevated our work: For sure without this approach, this model would not exist as it does, and we are especially proud of our collaboration and the outcome.
The Slave 1, unlike other models, has not often been rendered as a MOC. The round shapes and crazy angles of the model, which you might call with good right “not-LEGO-friendly”, are probably a major reason for this. Therefore, this challenge was extra appealing to us - and we were not disappointed: This is the ultimate final boss in LEGO building!
We based our MOC on the ILM studio/filming model built for The Empire Strikes Back. The most important goal for us was to recreate the correct proportions, smooth roundness and a precise rendering of the "used universe look“ or weathering you often see on Star Wars ships. But we didn't just want our Slave 1 to look good, we also faithfully recreated all functions and features: These include a rotating cockpit, which is triggered by turning the wings, and a fully fleshed out loading ramp. Both the interior and the weapon systems are realized: There is a weapon hatch on one side (instead of two, which is wrong for Bobas Slave 1), twin-laser turrets, two retractable torpedo launchers at the tip of the trunk and a working seismic bomb dispenser. Crew quarters, hidden quarters for Boba and many more details were faithfully recreated.
The studio/filming model was modified for the different movies and TV-shows. Especially for "The Mandalorian" and "The Book of Boba Fett" the interior was enlarged, and, among other things, an additional pilot's seat was added compared to the original. The scale of our model is based on the size of the windshield (if you're precise: it's 1 stud too short and the curvature is not correct), which roughly results in minifigure scale.
Cheers! Skywalter, Marshal Banana
