Well here is my entry into the MOColympics! I didn't really like the category, but that ain't stopping me. I still wanted to build something for it.
This is obviously for the scopio category. :)
Wow.... Unedited photo came out nice. :D
This was a large cake that I scaled down into mini ones. Mango passionfruit mousse with raspberry cremeux filling, joconde biscuit.
This shot was taken near Sossusvlei, Namibia. We had to get up really early to get some nice shades.

DOODLEBUG was the common name for a self-propelled railcar. They were popular during the first part of the 20th century to provide passenger, mail and light shipping service on small regional and local networks.
This photo was found in the Elgin Park Archives with no information written on the back, so there was some speculation as to the date.
Although one of the vehicles that can be seen is a 1940 Ford station wagon.
On a different note: This photo was taken in my hometown of Sewickley, Pennsylvania, during a recent visit and the building in the background is indeed the former train station built in the early 1920's.
While setting up the shot, a car drove by, stopped, then backed up, with the driver calling out: "Hey, you're that photographer that's all over the Web!"
It was a "celebrity moment".
As for the doodlebug model... It is a heavily altered Aristo-Craft, G scale
electric train. One of my great enjoyments is doing research on the Web to discover all of the details on a particular topic. Who knew there were a half dozen variations on the front ends of these railcars?
Because of it's strong visual appeal, I chose the one that had vertical louvers that could be opened and closed to adjust the amount of airflow
cooling the diesel engine.
Here is the Setup Shot:

if you want a particular image from this catalogue let me know as I haven't put all them up yet. 👍
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.
This is an old image from winter of last year. It is a stacked image of river rocks covered in ice. What is special about this is that these river rocks are next to a waterfall and have formed scales of ice on them due to the water spray freezing on contact with the rocks. This caused the rocks to form these "scales" of ice on them making them look like something analogous to fish scales. These were really tricky to photograph properly, and I am sure that with more time I could have come up with a better composition. That said, I was literally standing in a torrent of misty water coming off of a waterfall and it was so cold that the water was freezing on contact... so I didn't stay for long!

An early December (of 2024) visit to the Haga Ocena butterfly house yielded some sots of this and a couple more lime swallowtails (Papilio demoleus), also known as the chequered swallowtail.
This is one of my favourite species, but unfortunately I wasn't able to get any shots showing the dorsal side of the wings this time. Here is one from a previous visit though: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/53816447867/
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 pious man explained to his followers: "It is evil to take lives and noble to save them. Each day I pledge to save a hundred lives. I drop my net in the lake and scoop out a hundred fishes. I place the fishes on the bank, where they flop and twirl. 'Don't be scared,' I tell those fishes. 'I am saving you from drowning.' Soon enough, the fishes grow calm and lie still. Yet, sad to say, I am always too late. The fishes expire. And because it is evil to waste anything, I take those dead fishes to market and I sell them for a good price. With the money I receive, I buy more nets so i can save more fishes.
