The white fluff is not a fungus but the protective covering of a scale insect, Cryptococcus fagisuga. The sucking insect pierces the beech trees' bark, which allows a fungus to get inside. This invasive complex called beech bark disease was introduced from Europe in the 19th Century and has been moving slowly across North America. There is no known control against the disease for trees in wild areas. Saplings are resistant, but the disease will kill all or most of the beech trees in the forest.

Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.

Here is a close up of some of the items that were in the Cleaning out the Revere Building photo.

They are all handmade with just enough detail to look accurate when photographed.

The materials used were Basswood, aluminum tubing, Sintra [ a flexible plastic that can be cut, sanded and painted ]

and of course the ever popular Styrene plastic.

The rugs and linoleum are xerox color copies taken from old catalogs.

Nothing fancy here, but it works!

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.

I used my previous version of 7 studs wide steering system.

It occurred to me that I hadn't taken a good scale photo with the minifigs in front.

So here it is.

I felt like building some more micro scale T-formers, so I decided on Shockwave. Consists of 30 pieces and transforms from robot to tank without adding or taking away parts.

Cappella Bizantina

Chiesa di San Nicola dei Greci, meglio conosciuta come la Chiesetta dello Spedale in quanto pare che, durante il regno borbonico, questa fu trasformata in ospedale per offrire cure ai meno abbienti. Originariamente, la chiesa era parte integrante di un monastero bizantino, ma oggi ne rimangono solo pochi ruderi, all’interno dei quali sono rimasti intatti gli affreschi della cappella principale dell’antica chiesa bizantina, nei quali è ben visibile l’effige di San Nicola.

I've been wanting to take pictures of my teeny tiny Silverbeam ponies for a while now :) they are perfectly 1:4 scaled. I hope the colors on these turned out okay, I edited them on my laptop and its a color gank :/

Le scale non sono il mio soggetto preferito, anche perchè non sono bravo come Stefano in questo genere fotografico. Mi è capitata però questa scala che sembrava mi invitasse a fotografarla. Troppo pigro per "scalarla", ho deciso allora di fotografarla da sotto, dal pianoterra.

My friend is keen on trains. This is his model train layout in 1:160 scale, track width 9mm. Total track length is approx 150 meters. The entire construction is located in a flat.

A page spread towards the beginning of trying to get a sense of scale a new book on Tim Lowly's art. On the left is a quote from a letter to Tim from his friend, the Swiss artist Stephan Jon Tramér. This was a particularly significant observation that helped Tim clarify what was to become an ongoing direction for much of his work - and the focus of this book. On the right is the recent painting Bower.

This book was published by North Park University in conjunction with Tim Lowly's exhibition at the Washington Pavilion of Arts and Science Visual Arts Center. The book includes insightful texts by Karen Halvorsen Schreck, Riva Lehrer, Henry Luttikhuizen, Sherrie Lowly, Kelly VanderBrug and project editor Kevin Hamilton.

The 160 page, 10.5"x 9" book is extensively illustrated with over 70 color and 25 black and white illustrations.

You can purchase the book at the following links;

via Amazon

via the CIVA on-line store

via Koplin Del Rio Gallery's new on-line store: KDR Atelier
