Longji (Dragon's Backbone) Terraced Rice Fields received their name because the rice terraces resemble a dragon's scales, while the summit of the mountain range looks like the backbone of the dragon. Visitors standing on the top of the mountain can see the dragon's backbone twisting off into the distance. In an early morning, when the weather is fine, the sunrise on the summit of Longji Rice Terraces is magnificent.
Taken at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, and in my opinion, this is the way more things ought to look.
The first mound is West Fell with Whernside behind shrouded in the low cloud.

Body fat scales are one of the most convenient ways to measure your body fat percentage. Body fat scales have some tremendous advantages over other types of body composition tests. Here are some of the most important. - www.atcomaart.com/pd/66495769675357566657/gym-scale/body-...
Those tiny small white dots in the middle of the photo, just below center are a couple of birds that were flying next to the rockface...if that helps give any scale.
12th scale haberdashery and sewing shop. All hand made except for the doll, the two stools and the sewing box / spools kits. Inspiration from the Internet and from real shops. Box in multiplex as is easier for nails and screws but it tends to warp. Mercerie et magasin de tissus à l'échelle 1/12e . Tout fait main sauf la poupée, les tabourets et les kits boîte à couture/bobines. J'ai utilisé du multiplex car c'est plus pratique à clouer et visser mais cela a tendance à gondoler.
Most dramatic among the construction workers of Hoover Dam were the "High Scalers", men who removed loose rock, by jackhammers and dynamite, from the sheer cliffs of Black Canyon, both for safety and for dam stability. Dramatically swinging hundreds of meters over the canyons by rope, they quickly became popular attraction for visitors. In one instance, after Bureau of Land Reclamation engineer Burl Rutledge fell over the top of Black Canyon, high scalers Oliver Cowan and Arnold Parks managed to catch him midair.
Perhaps more importantly was the high scaler's contribution to construction safety. Protecting themselves from the same danger of falling rocks by wrapping cloth hats coated with coal tar, the hard-boiled hats soon attracted the attention of the Six Companies when it saved the lives of several individuals from would-be fatal accidents. The hard hats were soon applied throughout the company.
In 1995, Steven Liguori and Hoover Dam Spillway House concessionaire Bert Hansen commissioned this statue commemorating the high scalers, sponsored by the Nevada State Business Enterprise Program.

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.
The ice pick plays a crucial part in the story because it brings down the helicopter, being thrown into the tail rotor, so we built it in all three scales, 1/7, 1/4 and 1/2 scale.
The Glacier on the left seems so small however if you look on the right there are 2 small dots, those are people :) Those mounds have broken off and made their way down the hill and look like mice to me. via 500px ift.tt/1CNhTVd
