Here is my latest reference, the last part of the puzzle is the Schiit Bifrost DAC. The Parasound HCA-1200MKII amp is feeding Magnepan MG-10QR speakers that are biwired and have Mundorf Supreme caps. Subs are Athena and Klipsch. The screen is there for a secondary music server display.
Green, how I want you green.
Green wind. Green branches.
The ship out on the sea
and the horse on the mountain.
With the shade around her waist
she dreams on her balcony,
green flesh, her hair green,
with eyes of cold silver.
Green, how I want you green.
Under the gypsy moon,
all things are watching her
and she cannot see them.
Green, how I want you green.
Big hoarfrost stars
come with the fish of shadow
that opens the road of dawn.
The fig tree rubs its wind
with the sandpaper of its branches,
and the forest, cunning cat,
bristles its brittle fibers.
But who will come? And from where?
She is still on her balcony
green flesh, her hair green,
dreaming in the bitter sea.
--My friend, I want to trade
my horse for her house,
my saddle for her mirror,
my knife for her blanket.
My friend, I come bleeding
from the gates of Cabra.
--If it were possible, my boy,
I`d help you fix that trade.
But now I am not I,
nor is my house now my house.
--My friend, I want to die
decently in my bed.
Of iron, if that`s possible,
with blankets of fine chambray.
Don`t you see the wound I have
from my chest up to my throat?
--Your white shirt has grown
thirsty dark brown roses.
Your blood oozes and flees
around the corners of your sash.
But now I am not I,
nor is my house now my house.
--Let me climb up, at least,
up to the high balconies;
Let me climb up! Let me,
up to the green balconies.
Railings of the moon
through which the water rumbles.
Now the two friends climb up,
up to the high balconies.
Leaving a trail of blood.
Leaving a trail of teardrops.
Tin bell vines
were trembling on the roofs.
A thousand crystal tambourines
struck at the dawn light.
Green, how I want you green,
green wind, green branches.
The two friends climbed up.
The stiff wind left
in their mouths, a strange taste
of bile, of mint, and of basil
My friend, where is she--tell me--
where is your bitter girl?
How many times she waited for you!
How many times would she wait for you,
cool face, black hair,
on this green balcony!
Over the mouth of the cistern
the gypsy girl was swinging,
green flesh, her hair green,
with eyes of cold silver.
An icicle of moon
holds her up above the water.
The night became intimate
like a little plaza.
Drunken "Guardias Civiles"
were pounding on the door.
Green, how I want you green.
Green wind. Green branches.
The ship out on the sea.
And the horse on the mountain.

Taken from Wikipedia:
Dun an Sticir (grid reference NF89717767) is located on a small island in Loch an Sticir on the east side of the B893 road, 0.8 kilometers south of Newtonferry. The name is also misspelled Dun an Sticer and Dun an Sticar. The island, on which the broch stands, is connected by a causeway to another larger island called Eilean na Mi-Chomhairle (Island of Bad Council). This larger island is connected via two causeways to the mainland. Dun an Sticir is freely accessible. At high tide, the causeways may be partially submerged.
The name Dun an Sticir is derived from "dun", which means "fortress", and "sticir" which means "skulker". Thus Dun an Sticir means Fort Skulker. Only in the second half of the twentieth century did it become clear that the structure was a broch.
History
Dun an Sticir was probably built in the Iron Age in the period between 100 BC and 100 AD, like most brochs. Limited excavations resulted in finds of pottery.
The broch was probably inhabited during the Viking period. In the Middle Ages the broch was converted into a rectangular hall, or small tower. The entrance was enlarged and a window was constructed. Outbuildings were added and there was a larger building on Eilean na Mi-Chomhairle. The causeway from the north side of the loch to Eilean na Mi-Chomhairle was widened to 3 meters, so that carts could get to the island.
Hugh MacDonald of Sleat (Scottish Gaelic: Ùisdean MacGilleEasbuig Chlèirich), son of Hugh the Clerk, inhabited Dun Sticir in 1602. He was the Factor to North Uist in the 1580s. In 1586 he hatched a plan to murder his cousin, Donald Gorm, 8th Chief of the Macdonalds of Sleat. After his plan was discovered, he fled to Dun an Sticir. He was eventually captured when he tried to escape a siege of his castle, Caisteal Uisdean, on Skye. As punishment, he was starved to death in the dungeon of Duntulm Castle on Skye.
Construction
Dun an Sticir is located on an island in a loch. A wide stone causeway leads from the north to the island of Eilean na Mi-Chomhairle. A second, smaller causeway leads from the south side of the lake to the same island. A third causeway curves from that island to the east to the small island on which the broch lies. The causeways are partially submerged at high tide.
The broch has a total diameter of 18 metres. The walls of the broch are 3.5 metres thick and in some places a little more than three metres high.
The circular interior of the broch was in the Middle Ages transformed into a rectangular area 10 metres by 4.6 metres. The axis is northeast–southwest. The entrances are 1.1 metres wide, located in the northwest and southwest of the rectangular space. The wall at the southwestern entrance is 2.5 metres thick.

My own, original creation. The horse portrait was hand-drawn in pencil, on paper. The hard copy was photographed and digitally coloured in Pixelmator. Thank you for viewing.
For each of my key MOCs, I prepared a brief 5" x 7" information card which was slipped into a self standing acrylic picture frame/stand. These were very helpful for the public in order to have a reference point for each of the MOCs and to compare the real and Lego versions. Often, the public are unfamiliar with our niche/nerdy choices of MOC prototypes, so these info cards help a great deal!

Metropolitan Toronto Reference Library
As much a place for books, libraries are now a portal to the world of online knowledge. As many library patrons seemed to be looking at notebook computers as at books.
Today it was -12 C with a windchill of -21, making the reference library an inviting refuge from the cold.
I really like the visual layers and lines.

Name: Bosco
Species: Gray Wolf
Sex: Male
Location from: Rocky Mountain region
Other: This was a captive breeding male, housed in what was likely a zoo-stock facility. He died at the age of 5 from a currently unknown to me health issue. Has some post-mortem tooth enamel damage, but otherwise a relatively strong-boned individual.
Species Info: Wolves are social, family-oriented individuals that travel in family groups. This group consists of two mates and their offspring, with pack numbers ranging from 6 to 15 individuals. They are large, stocky animals who feed on ungulates and small mammals, as well as sometimes fish, carrion, and human trash. Despite their long history with humans where they often play the villain, wolves are often quite shy if not fearful of humans and attacks are rare.
Their range includes both the New World and Old World. Their current territories are Michigan, Wisconsin, Montana, Idaho, Minnesota, Wyoming, and Arizona as well as the majority of Canada and Eurasia. Environments can vary for the wolf due to different location factors, but they can live in desert, forest, valley, or arctic habitat.
