my daughter collects bones, and other objects from recently "deceased" animals
she delighted in showing me this collected snakeskin--thinking it would "freaK" me out. The theme for FlickrFriday was "SCALES" so of course I took a photo!
this was one of a few photos that I took, but not the one I submitted
They knew they were putting themselves in danger the closer they got to the structure. What was this thing?
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.

Aint Photoshop Great.........
An HO scale model GS-4 Locomotive provides a graphic comparison of 3.5mm to the foot railroading vs. 12" to the foot scale. The young gentleman who owned that little Daylight was a participant in this October, 2018 Lerro Productions photo shoot. My understanding is that he's a long-time railfan, and 4449 has always been his favorite locomotive. The HO scale model was given to him as a gift by his girlfriend. On this day, he was seeing the real thing for the very first time. As dusk approached, he used that 12" to the foot model as a back-drop to propose to his girlfriend, with Pete Lerro there to record photos of her response.....which was a pretty emphatic YES! It was a pretty good day for this particular Daylight fan.
Awe's original design was quite close to the 1:40 scale I build most of my minifig-scale models in, so it worked out great. It's for sure one of the best MiG-21 models in Lego, so go check it out on his photostream!
This is the closing scene of the first film, Godfather Part 1 . At the end of the movie, Connie, a gangster’s sister, accuses her brother, Michael of having her husband murdered. He straightfacedly denies it, even though it's true.
In the closing scene is taken from Kay's perspective, she watches the the door of Micheal's office as his capos gather. One of them closes the door, and then the movie ends. This signifies Michael's transformation into ruthless crime lord, sealing Kay outside of his inner world. The title is a cheeky adaptation of one of Michael’s famous lines before this scene - "Don't ever ask me about my business, Kay". I hope you like the model, and sorry for any spoilers on the way :)

LE SCALE
Le scale
questi ansanti tabernacoli bianchi
marmi sui quali gli umani
pavimentano l’anima.
Scale fatte d’aria
dove non ruotano i venti.
Scale adorne
che separano i ferrati dai lenti.
Scale in stile gotico, apostolico
che non portano a Dio
né alla sacralità dell’Essere.
Scale intime, abissali
sotto boschi
dove urlano i corvi.
Le scale
questi penosi tabernacoli bianchi
dalle antiche radici di ferro
che non danno colore
non spargono odore
a chi stringe più in alto lo scettro.

The Witch Head Nebula (also known as IC 2118) is a faint, eerie-looking reflection nebula in the constellation Eridanus, near the bright star Rigel in the neighbouring constellation Orion. Its name comes from its resemblance to the profile of a witch's face, complete with a hooked nose and chin.
This rendition is a little different. The image scale of my instrument does not allow the entire Witch head to be seen, only the chin and nose are in the frame. I have also flipped the traditional orientation, which is upside down in the version. I think it works in this orientation, the highlighting at the top is my favourite part.
Here are some key features:
Composition: The nebula is made up of interstellar dust and gas that reflects the light of nearby stars, primarily Rigel. This scattered light gives the nebula its characteristic bluish colour, enhanced by the dust particles, which scatter blue light more efficiently than red.
Location and Size: It lies approximately 900 to 1,000 light-years from Earth and spans about 50 light-years, making it a large structure in the sky.
Illumination: The bright light from Rigel is the primary source of illumination, but other nearby stars also contribute. The nebula's reflection effect is similar to how Earth's atmosphere scatters sunlight.
Appearance: Its spooky, ghostly shape and faint glow make it a striking subject for astrophotographers and astronomers.
Astronomical Interest: The nebula's dusty regions are of interest for studying the processes of star formation and the interaction of starlight with interstellar matter.
The Witch Head Nebula is a fascinating example of how simple interstellar materials can create striking, familiar shapes in the cosmos when viewed from Earth.

Just a bit upstream, this creek is quite peaceful, slowly, and lazily negotiating its way around stones, cliffs and the like. But at one point, as if by a change of heart, it makes a run for it, and the quiet babbling quickly becomes a roaring crescendo, ascending in intensity, as the water loses height, one step at a time.
