This shot was taken near Sossusvlei, Namibia. We had to get up really early to get some nice shades.

I have been taking pictures of Beech Scale for a local newsletter which I edit. I am also learning how to put textures into images. Quelle coincidence! I discovered that Beech Scale makes a great sky texture. If you are interested in reading more about Beech Scale disease, go here, to my friend Andy McFarlane's excellent Michigan in Pictutes site:

(I really wanted to name this photo "Black Hole Sun", but I couldn't quite pull it off).
Chicago Central 1744 climbs the grade at Scales Mound, IL with a loaded coal train back in April of 1990. The CC would take a 110 car coal train and run them as two 55 car trains into Chicago due to the grades from Dubuque, IA to Freeport, IL.

A small helicopter build, not particularly great, but I like it. It's the only one Cayuse model in minifig scale apart from one made by LoganLego I believe. He used flex tube for the canopy, while I tried droid hands at first and then changed to this brick built hunk of trans-clear bricks. I think it doesn't look that bad, and it really helps with balancing the helicopter, long tail and structure behind the skids make it really rear-heavy.
Taken from a museum at Rosario, which shows an ancient pharmacy (Farmacia Dinamarca - former Farmarcia Alemana, founded in 1881).
The radar showed a storm building west of Cleve (about 2 hours drive from home in Port Lincoln), so I filled up and headed on my way. It was about 8pm as I hit Cleve seeing the clouds grow darker to the North, so I continued through towards Kimba for a few kilometers before stopping at a dried-up creek. I slung my tripod with my trusty Nikon D800 over my shoulder, scaled the barbed wire and headed along the creek bed eagerly, the sky flashing intermittently overhead. I found an interesting looking tree and set up my gear. I framed up my shot through my 24-70mm f/2.8 lens just as the sun was sinking into the horizon. As I stepped back from my tripod and waited for the 8 second exposure, I saw the bolt come down knowing I'd caught a good one.
Part of Bristol Light Festival 2025
C-Scales is an audio-visual installation originally created for, and inspired by Sydney Harbour. This artwork has been reimagined for Bristol Light Festival; an array of animations will be projected onto a suspended façade of more than 1,800 CDs and DVDs. The reflections will paint the landscape and visitors with shimmering threads of light, resulting in a subtly immersive installation.
Artist: Bruce Munro
Castle Bridge, Bristol

Scale Force
Despite the low water levels when I took this photo last year, Scale Force maintains its dominance.

I'm a huge fan of old industrial architecture, as I'm sure most of us are. Situated in Hamilton's industrial north end is this former Stelco (Steel Company of Canada) scale shack which sat guarding the long-gone Rod Mill No. 2. As far as I can make out, all the former Rod Mill property is now owned and operated by the the Hamilton Oshawa Port Authority (HOPA). I'm not sure why they decided to keep the scale house. There's an area here which feels purpose built for transloading, so it would be reasonable to assume they just wanted a scale here. Despite this, it doesn't look like the building has been used in any capacity for a number of years, despite the massive AC unit on the roof. For a distant photo of the scale shack in better days see here .
In the background the Welland Yard crew TE11 (who ran in Hamilton on Saturdays around this time) spots some Lafarge gons on the aptly named Rod Mill Runaround.

Assuming 1 head= 1 foot this is perfectly scale accurate. (the hulk is about seven heads, the Hulkbuster is 11.)
Love, I find, is like singing. Everybody can do enough to satisfy themselves, though it may not impress the neighbors as being very much.

A modular building on micro-scale, so it’s easy to attach to other buildings. The floors can be removed and stacked up individual. The pavement is built out of 1 x 1 tiles to make it more detailed. I like the curved roof, and that the dumpster and the flowerbed can easily be removed from the street.
Every year, hundreds of climbers inch their way up Devil's Tower, clinging to the vertical cracks in the rock columns with their fingers and toes. From the ground they look like ants against the rock. To see two of them making their way up, use your cursor to look at the noted area, and view large. They're about 600 feet up. Tomorrow I'll have a close-up of the top climber. This was taken from the visitor center.

One from Scale Force when on the Readers Workshop for Digital SLR Photography. @jamesaphoto going the extra mile and posing in the photo to help add perspective.

Another scale comparison - this time with the recently built 42167 Technic Garbage Truck.
At 9 studs wide this relatively small Technic model comes quite close to the "Larger City Scale" range I'm working with.
I'm wondering if there's ever been a Technic model so densely packed with high-end functionality at this scale - though it's possible I've missed quite a few releases over time.
In any case, I think this opens up a whole new range of possibilities.
