Just a another one of the slightly bigger scale MOCs that I like. It's been a awhile, but this was fun to build. Thanks to Markus for constantly nagging me to build again. :)

Coming back down Mellbreak I diverted to Scale Force waterfall.. what you can see is the small bottom drop of the waterfall, the main part of the fall can be seen in the background..
the shot is hand held, trying to get a bit of motion blur.. I took a few and this was the one that came out best :-)
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!

The Fibonacci numbers are nature's numbering system. They appear everywhere in nature, from the leaf arrangement in plants, to the pattern of the florets of a flower, the bracts of a pinecone, or the scales of a pineapple. The Fibonacci numbers are therefore applicable to the growth of every living thing, including a single cell, a grain of wheat, a hive of bees, and even all of mankind.

this moment caught in london’s brutalist heart balances solitude and structure — a man framed by the coiled ribs of raw concrete, held in a diagonal beam of afternoon light. the silence of the architecture speaks louder than the subject, as if the building itself paused to breathe. shadow and geometry entwine with human stillness.
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.
Messier 63 or the Sunflower Galaxy is a 29.3 million light-year distant galaxy in the constellation Canes Venatici. In visible light it has a lack of a large-scale continuous spiral structure. Because of this, it is classified as a flocculent (fuzzy) galaxy. This image is the result of about 8 hours of image integration over 3 nights from Grand Mesa Observatory captured and processed by Terry Hancock and Tom Masterson.
In this image, and in some others, you can clearly see a very diffuse outer structure to this galaxy that probably spans thousands of light-years. I find it very fuzzy indeed :-)

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

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.
A capture from my recent outing with Zyker and Azr at the Taman Botani, Putrajaya.

Fish check in progress ... I think I have that same look when staring at a bowl of hot apple pie and ice cream :)
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.
My better half Amanda features here to give a sense of
scale to the scene. In front of her is a huge canyon and those green cliffs opposite were stunning!
South Iceland, September 2015.
We don't give much notice to the ubiquitous garbage truck, yet without it, life would get pretty interesting within a few days.
In Elgin Park, there was only one such truck, owned by "Pip" Paulson, and he made the rounds tirelessly, 5 days a week.
All of the town's castoffs were taken down by the river, at a place called Bunkie's Landing. This used to be a notorious area for rum running and other nefarious activities, back in the 1920's and '30s, but times had changed and the town's dump was now there.
Back to "Pip" Paulson; he was a valued citizen who performed a very necessary task that kept the town running smoothly. He bought himself a new Buick in 1948, seen here, which he kept in tip top shape and remained his only car until he passed away in 1965.
A hail and hearty Hurrah! for the "sanitary engineers" throughout the world. This photo is dedicated to you.
As for the model...the business end of the garbage truck, in the photo, was handmade, based on an early '50s design. It is constructed of styrene plastic and found objects.
On a different note...

No stepping outside for me today. I was tempted to take a self-portrait as I feel run-down today for sure, still sick. Anywho--I took this photo (only took 5 shots) of a few of our finds from our vintage adventure on the way home last week. These items may be run-down, forgotten, rickety and neglected but to me they are much loved. So much character and history.
