One factor in what i call "true minifig scaling" is not to just keep the minifig height in mind, but also the fact that the original minifigs low hip joints might create the impressions of tires being "too large" for a vehicle. I also forget that fact myself sometimes, since i often place minifigs next to my vehicles. However, if you keep using the realistically proportioned "human fig" as a template next to your MOC, selecting the right tires/rims for your vehicles wont be any trouble.
Revisiting some Iceland image, as I have this terrible habit of editing one and leaving the rest.
This is one of those images that I would have over edited last year, relying on saturation and contrast to carry the image rather than letting it breath. Not saying that one style is better than the other, but it demonstrates a personal evolution.
Flickr Friday theme Scale. Cookie lost a bet with Rusty and had to pay his weight in cookies. I think he cheats. Has a his hand on the scale. Happy Flickr Friday. the old photographer,;-)
With the disused lines into Chatterley Valley opencast in the foreground 56105 rolls towards its destination at Pinnox Sidings near Longport with 6K38 from Crewe Basford Hall. Personally I wouldn't usually include a mast at the side of the line but with three blokes scaling it, thought it was too good to miss.

From a photo walk with members of a Danish Facebook group - May 23, 2021.

Another day with a forecast of low cloud and >95% chance of rain. In these conditions there isn't much else other than fast flowing rivers that are worthwhile capturing.
Today, we travelled to Buttermere via Cockermouth and Crummock Water to reach the foot of Scale Force, a huge waterfall that sits in a gorge on red pike and feeds Crummock Water via Scale Beck. It's actually the tallest waterfall in the Lake District at 170ft tall.
I've been to Buttermere a number of times and never seen Scale Force flowing as quickly as it was today. We could even hear it from over 1/2 a kilometre away.
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

EB CN grain train G898 is on its knees as it climbs out of the Mississippi River valley. The train is cresting the highest elevation on the railroad ( in the state of Illinois ) at Scales Mound. The train could be heard 15 minutes before it arrived. Thanks to Craig for the intel.
I would have preferred a 50mm shot off the road bridge that I am on, but there is a thick wire going across the tracks. I am standing on the roof of my truck, in order to get above the wire. No way to get below the wire.
I thought I'd have an outing before my area goes in to Covid Tier 3 tomorrow. Revisited Scale Haw Force hoping, this time, for some autumnal colours but suspect I'd missed the best of it.
This image is two photos focus stacked.

From time to time i post these scale comparissons.
Old Sets make us feel nostalgic - but i also think that overall the scale back then helped a lot. A 4 wide car compared to a 6 wide train made sense. The Vehicles were not as big as today (8w Speed champs!), used less parts - but still, they felt right. Using modern elements you can get a higher level of detail in a similar scale, which is known as 1/43 - 1/45 scale. Once you see a proportinate Minifigure next to the Minifigs we have today since the 1970ies, you can see why a smaller scale is actually better (except playvalue!).
If you do cars 4-5 wide, Trucks 6-7 wide and Trains 8 wide - you are technically in the proper minifig scale (height based!).

Dettifoss waterfall Iceland, situated in northeastern Iceland, not far from Mývatn.
You see the falling Jökulsá á Fjöllum river, which comes from the Vatnajökull glacier and collects water from a large area in north-east Iceland. Dettifoss is the most powerful waterfalls in Europe, having a flow between 200.000 and 500.000 litres per second !!! The falls are 100 m wide and have a drop of 44 m down to the Jökulsárgljúfur canyon.
WOW...makes your hands shiver
I went to so many waterfalls in Iceland that I can't remember the name of this one. The sun was up creating intense contrast - a difficult shot. Pictured here with photographer Steve Bell balanced on a rock to give it a bit of scale

The Peterbuilt doesn't look so big when compared it to the Galaxy C-5's engines. The Galaxy C-5 is the world's largest military airplane. This one and the ones in the background are in storage at the Aircraft Maintenance and Regeneration Group, Tuscon, Arizona. At the time I took this picture (2012) there were over four thousand US military aircraft being stored here, and they are all wrapped for protection from the elements. I did some research and this particular airplane (0466) seems to still be there.

Plenty of trees at the park. Taman Botani has themed gardens of various places...this is the mediterranean species - i cant recall the species. A rustic bark and compound leaves, just wonderful in the diffused light.
