A small Riddler build I came up with. It's simple, but I love the way the question mark came out. Anyways enjoy!
Garwin falls is a sprawling place and I miss it a lot. This is the left side of the falls where to shoot it you have to stand on a narrow little embankment that gives you no room to go back and forth or side to side much, but it's all part of the charm.

Let me know what you think!
This album's name is dedicated to my favourite game of all time Elder Scrolls Online and race of all time, The Argonians (reptile humanoids). There's a story for you to read below about some of them towards the bottom.
What does Ku Vastei mean? Read below
By Lights-the-Way, Mystic of the Mages Guild
It is hard to describe the culture of my people. Often my tongue stumbles as I try to explain, but it is my hope that ink and quill will give me time enough to gather my thoughts. And perhaps, though such writing, I will finally connect the parts of me that now feel so divided; my homeland of Murkmire and my new life within the Mages Guild.
These journals are to become my ku-vastei. And, as I write that, I can think of no better topic to begin with.
Ku-vastei roughly translates to "the catalyst of needed change," though such a direct translation in no way does justice to the original meaning. Another translation could be "that which creates the needed pathway for change to occur" or even "the spark which ignites the flame which must come into being."
Perhaps a more direct analysis should be first presented. Ku-vastei is a noun, a thing or person. Vastei directly translates to change, an important part of my culture. Ku is harder to speak of. It is that which leads to change, though not that which creates change. An important role, as stagnation is a fate worse than death.
Take a boulder which sits atop a cliff, teetering in place. It must fall eventually. The ku-vastei does not push the boulder off the cliff; rather, it picks the pebble which holds the rock in place. And so it falls, not by a push, but by a pathway cleared.
Ku-vastei is revered, just as change itself is revered, for to look back at what was means to stumble as you move forward. Sometimes, a little push in the right direction is all someone needs to remember such wisdom. Other times, they may need to be shoved.

Naka Desh Tribe
by Emmanubeth Hurrent, the Wayfarers' Society of Wayrest
My guide, Names-the-Orchids, took me deep into the swamp to meet a little-known tribe called the Naka-Desh, or Riverbacks. Few Imperials venture far enough into Black Marsh to meet the People of the River, and the Naka-Desh see little benefit in traveling beyond the boundaries of their Hist's roots. For that reason, most perceive them as a secretive and mysterious tribe. This misconception is made all the more amusing by the Riverbacks' boundless hospitality.
We approached the Riverbacks' territory via ferry boats. Our expedition encountered tribal sentries almost immediately. They floated to the surface of the water like turtles or crocodiles. I was struck by the wideness of their faces, the largeness of their eyes, and the broad webs adorning their forearms and throats. The Hist clearly provided the "right skin" for the locale. Riverback territory is more water than land—a drowned marsh navigable by small rafts, canoes, and little else.
Names-the-Orchids greeted them with a series of low croaks. They cheerfully repeated the sound before lifting themselves onto our boat. Neither of the sentries seemed familiar with Cyrodilic, so our guide had to interpret. She told us that the Riverbacks demanded tribute in the form of a riddle before they would grant passage. I detected no threat behind the demand. It seemed like more of an invitation than an order. I've no talent for wordplay, but I shared a children's riddle about doorknobs that practically every Imperial knows. As soon as Names-the-Orchids translated it, the two sentries clapped their hands. One of them pressed his forehead to mine, croaked twice, then both vanished into the water as suddenly as they appeared.
We spent four days among the Riverbacks—all but one of them on rafts fishing. Riverback fishing resembles traditional fishing in name only. Rather than hook and line, the Naka-Desh use large river fish called osheeja gars. Each osheeja is secured by a strange harness and bridle. When the Argonians find an abundant fishing spot, they release the predatory gars and let them snatch up the fish. As soon as an osheeja bites a fish, the Argonians pull their pets to the side of the boat and claim the fish for themselves. I asked Names-the-Orchids how it works. Apparently, the bridle prevents the gar from swallowing. She assured me that the osheejas are well-cared for, though. Until they grow too old, of course, whereupon they too are eaten.
Our time with the Riverbacks was not without frustration. Of all the Argonians I have met, the Naka-Desh were by far the least curious. Other than riddles, they had no appetite for anything we brought. They refused our food, took no particular interest in our tales, and did not even ask for our names. This disinterest combined with their boundless hospitality made most of the expedition uncomfortable. Names-the-Orchids chided us for thinking kindness demands reciprocity. As always, even these small disappointments teach us valuable lessons.

A shot of Thomas Riddles grave at Harry Potter World. The effort and detail taken in some of the sets is amazing.
Shot on Leica X, and post processed in Lightroom.
A Tanerverse version of Eddie after he's "reformed." He goes back to his Riddler ways real quick, after at least 3 months
A much better picture of my Riddler figure. Two-Face Avenger was the first to make the purple full face mask, so here’s to him
MJ Josephine always stuns in whatever costume she wears. This Riddler of hers was just another example of beauty shining through.

My first few letters is to make free, the rest sounds lazy put them together the solution is me.
Leftover from the era of Big Timber, nearly 380,000 miles of roads riddle our forests. Unneeded and unmaintained roads are leading to a host of environmental problems.

This week's Saturday Timewatch features a Witness Post erected by the US National Geodetic Survey in 1978.
A Witness Post indicates to surveyors that a Survey Marker is very close by, but possibly on private land. Indeed we could not find the actual marker.
However a search of the National Geodetic Survey Data reveals height marker AW2189 is situated -
"NORTHWEST OF A POLE WITH 2 GUY WIRES AND TO A POWERLINE SPUR, 30 FEET NORTH OF THE CENTER-
LINE OF MORRISON ROAD, 17 FEET WEST OF THE CENTER OF TWO LARGE METAL PIPE GATES, AND 1 FOOT SOUTH OF THE NORTHERLY RIGHT OF WAY FENCE. DISK IS LEVEL WITH THE GROUND, ACCESS TO WHICH IS HAD THROUGH A 4 INCH PLASTIC SCREW PLUG".
The height above sea level is revealed as 57.88 metres / 189.9'
It seems the marker to which this Witness Post was erected may have been situated because another marker AW2213 placed nearby on an unknown date but known to be 'good' in 1954, couldn't be found in 1978. Ironically both AW2189 and AW2213 were refound in good condition on October 14th 2004!

I think i've almost nailed focus stacking down to a T. This time around, I managed to brace my camera in a position that still allowed me to manually turn my focus ring without moving the image.
Jade and Kyle were really interesting minifigures to make. The first time I conceptualized them, I definitely didn't think of using the parts displayed in this picture; Kyle was essentially a clone of Hal with different hair preferences, and Jade would have used an inferior RoTS Clone Trooper torso. I'm pretty happy with how Gardner turned out as well - I like his white belt here.
Death and life will finish this series!
