Rare, coastal (?) dove. Photo was taken through a shipping dock's chain-link fence where public access was not allowed.

This is a 1:100 scale model of a Commercial Space Station, which we were commissioned to build in 2019. The model features a variety of customized modules, stowage facilities, an airlock, an observatory, a robotic arm and a main solar array. The model is accompanied with replicas of the SpaceX Dragon and Boeing CST-100 supply ships. Later we are going to add to this set a replica of the SpaceX Dragon 2 as well. The model also includes several posed astronaut figurines, designed and customized for us by Mr. Max Grueter.
The model was designed in 3D software, produced by rapid prototyping and manually assembled, painted and decorated.
In this model we implemented the features and technics developed for our models of ISS, which we were building and perfecting since 2008. The model has reliable internal reinforcement system, holding the modules together. Most vulnerable elements are produced from durable materials – metal and nylon. Selected components and supply ships’ replicas have embedded magnets, allowing to reconfigure the station and exercise various docking schemes. The model is mounted with support poles on a black painted base.
The model is designed to be partially disassembled during transport. It is packed in a Pelican heavy duty transit case and can be fast and easily assembled for presentation.
I've just been doing a clean up of my hard-drive, getting rid of old photos, and came across this photo of a female Adder. I love the diamond pattern of an Adder's scales on it's back and this particular female had very striking colours and markings.
This scale and brick were sitting on a stand that was supposed to offer roasted chestnuts to the patrons on our Main Street holidays events. At Thanksgiving, the word chestnut was covered with a sign that said Wassail. I still found this scene attractive, in a real old skool kinda way. The Leica R4 and Elmar-R 100mm macro lens with HP5+ made for a nice image.
In my faculty they teach architecture and engineering. Architecture students use to make scale models. Unless the models were really good, They don't use to take them back to home because sometimes they are too large for going into the bus, and students found their "not so good" models useless when the semester ends. that's why most of those models end up in the trash. I asked a friend if I could keep this one and he said: "Of course!". Look at it carefully and you will notice that is not so perfectly made, but thanks to this scale model I could make this photo story:
This statue of justice faces internally into the square of Dublin Castle. Therefore, justice has her back to the people!! Nuff said.
Comments always appreciated, as long as you keep it clean - I love to hear your feedback! xx
Our friend Trisha was up in Hull so we met up with her on Friday night. We tried a new place in the Prince's Quasy shopping centre called Iron Lilies, a nice looking new bar that has opened, but you had to book a table and we hadn't so we ended up sat outside for a drink.
After that we went to the Old Town to the Scale and Feather, before heading back to The Star to finish the evening. A lovely time!

Normalissime scale, di un edificio per uffici.
Eppure mi ci sono come affezionato.
Sono le scale che ho visto, ogni giorno, dalla finestra della camera di Ale in via Saldini, nel periodo in cui mi sono trasferito da lui per completare la nostra tesi di laurea...
E sono sempre lì, di giorno in penombra e di sera in negativo, che giocano coi pattern della facciata.
Ieri le ho riviste e me le sono portate a casa :)
