The Colosseum, Rome
Well there can’t be many more iconic and instantly recognisable structures in the world than the Colosseum in Rome.
Given how iconic it is there was no way I was not going to shoot it. Now one of my locations was covered by Daniel Burton recently www.flickr.com/photos/92169786@N06/54403371597/in/datepos... I did go there before this shot but I’ll save my take on it for another time. Having seen one or two compositions on Flickr I decided to do some research online before going to Rome to see if any other compositions presented themselves. Now, for me, this was pretty hard going as the vast majority of what I could see was all geared towards the ‘Insta-selfie’ crowd (thanks to Dom Haughton for that term). To me, anything on the Instaselfie hit-list is like a ‘No Entry’ sign. All full of people posing with mega-crowds of tourists in the background also taking selfies and eating gelatos. However, at the point I did come across a few locations that I felt had potential. Unfortunately some were not feasible due to a multitude of maintenance works going on but I got lucky here. It was just a case of waiting as I had a strong feeling the early sun might catch one side of the Colosseum. I had to be a little patient as it took a few mins for the sunlight to strike the top of the stone. Luckily it still had that soft orange tone but as the sun rose and the light travelled down the structure it soon lost that colour. I think this shot is a fair compromise between colour and amount of the Colosseum hatched in light.
According to Wikipedia the Colosseum is not only the largest standing amphitheatre in the world but also the largest ancient amphitheatre ever built. Construction began under the Emperor Vespasian in AD 72 and was completed in AD 80 under his successor and heir, Titus. Further modifications were made during the reign of Domitian (AD 81-96).
The Colosseum is built of travertine limestone, volcanic rock, and brick-faced concrete. It could hold an estimated 50,000 to 80,000 spectators at various points in its history, having an average audience of some 65,000. As is well known, it was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles including animal hunts, executions, re-enactments of famous battles, dramas based on Roman mythology, and briefly mock sea battles! It ceased to be used for entertainment in the early medieval era. It was later reused for such purposes as housing, workshops, quarters for a religious order, a fortress, a quarry, and a Christian shrine.
Although substantially ruined by earthquakes and stone robbers, the Colosseum is still a renowned symbol of Imperial Rome and was listed as one of the New 7 Wonders of the World - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_7_Wonders_of_the_World

The front half of this thing has been sitting around since sometime last summer and I've used quarantine to finish it off. I think the overall quality drops off the farther back on the ship you go, but overall I'm very happy with it!
More pictures are on Instagram.
One of Britain's preeminent institutes for biomedical research the Francis Crick institute sits right next door to London St Pancras station. It's a fascinating building in it's design but it's the people inside that do the good work with their research into many of the diseases that plague us.

Welcome to Planet Frost
Our tour continues...
You may have noticed throughout our tour of Planet Frost that spacemen and spacewomen travel here from throughout the galaxy to further their scientific studies. Our unique and varied array of spaceplants and indigenous creatures attract researchers from many disciplines and many space factions. Here is a scientific envoy from the planet Whitetron. The Whitetron inhabitants very rarely leave their monochromatic world, but this special team has traveled to Planet Frost to study and report back about the properties of our colorful wildlife.

I built mine more around scientific sample retrieval, and things like that. I really enjoyed working with this frame, might experiment with it some more in the future!
The minifigure was somewhat inspired by the guys seen in the gameplay trailer for Death Stranding. Really looking forward to when I can play that game, not sure when that’ll be though
Finished all my finals yesterday, so a new trimester starts next week. not sure if it will free up time to post or make it harder, but hopefully you guys will be seeing more of me.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
Concordia research station in Antarctica is a place of extremes. In winter no sunlight is seen for four months and the typical crew of twelve live in complete isolation.
ESA sponsors a research medical doctor each year to study the effects of living in isolation. The extreme cold, isolation, sensory deprivation and remoteness make living in Concordia similar to living on another planet.
Share your summer pictures with the crew who have not seen the Sun since 4 May: blogs.esa.int/concordia/2015/06/24/midsummer-greetings/

Looking for a room in this idea
for a photo shoot in Brussels, someone got an idea?
Thank you very much.
In a little beach of French Riviera, I have seen a strange man that goes around the sand unfailingly. I have thinking that he was a little crazy because he walked in all the side... Then I have look that he have also a kind of metal detector, and so I know what he make.... The "researcher"...
It was screamingly funny!!!!!!!!!! Ah!!
Nice day.......

In una piccola spiaggia della Costa Azzurra, ho visto uno strano tipo che andava in giro per la spiaggia instancabilmente. Ho pensato che fosse un po' matto perché camminava da tutte le parti.... Poi ho visto che aveva una specie di metal detector, e così ho capito che cosa faceva.... Il "ricercatore".... Da morire dal ridere!!!!!!!!!!!!Ah!!

NS 92G runs through the siding at Robertson all the way to Ferguson at restricted speed while doing that “The Brick” will scan the track and send data to NS 36 “Research” aka the passenger car behind the brick where they’ll analyze the data (probably not right away) and see what might need to be fixed or changed with the tracks, grades, switches, etc. After 92G makes their run through the siding they will then back up to Robertson on the main at restricted speed going backwards also doing the same thing they just had done to the siding, before they reached Berkeley they were doing this to every siding on the line before which helped it make better time lighting wise into St. Louis. After it does it’s run through the main it’ll then head East to Luther where it’ll scan the inbound and outbound tracks
