I'm grateful for the silent time
To think and make a plan
When the morning world is mine
I do because I can.
I love the quietude of dawn
Before the sun's completely up
I rub my eyes and give a yawn
And fill once more my coffee cup.
The morning songs of birds awakening
In the misty dawn
Sets my very soul aquaking
Like windblown grass of lawn.
The springtime morns especially treat me
With the springtime birds of song
The robins come to early greet me
The blue jays also come along.
Thank God for mornings, whatever season
They're a beauty to behold
I'll not be broke for any reason
Because the mornings are my gold.

Here it is, what I've been working on all summer. This is a model of the Silent Castle from the G.I.Joe universe.
gijoe.fandom.com/wiki/Silent_Castle
The Cobra Island Control Tower I built was more or less a proof of concept/ technology demonstrator type MOC to give me some sense how to pull off building walls at angles. Because of the complexity of this, this is much trickier to pull off, but I'm well on my way now! I haven't seen this technique done before, and while it is very possible that others have done similar things, I figured this all out on my own.
When the Silent Castle is finished, it will be the largest non-modular MOC I've ever built - bigger in footprint, and much much taller than my Terror Drome.
Most of the exterior walls are more or less done, but the interior will take lots of time and I'll also build a rocky outcrop for the whole thing to sit on. So I'm not sure if it will be finished this year, but we'll have to see.
There are several representations of the Silent Castle - this one is a combination of the one from the original Marvel G.I.Joe comics and the British Action Force comics.
I've got a basic idea of some of what kind of details and rooms I want on the interior, but am very open to suggestions.

I'm planning on uploading this series bit by bit to break up some of the graffiti I still have left. This was shot in 2013 when this chemical rendering plant was quickly converted into smaller rental units.

I have been documenting the changing face of this neighborhood since 2005 to the present day. I never imagined that going to a photo meetup here would provide me with enough content and inspiration to continue to photograph the dynamic changes taking place as the neighborhood transformed from a dead retail strip on Dundas with derelict and shuttered industry to the hot hipster neighborhood it’s become. The Junction was not always known as such, it was rather West Toronto neighborhood, which for a large part was more often referred to the Stockyards. Meat processing is the only original industry that is still present today, to the dismay of residents. Industry was centralized here as the area had lower land prices and taxes and the creation of an official port of entry. Also Canadian Pacific developed a large rail yard which extends from Keele to Scarlet road. This led to massive industrial and commercial development which stayed for the most part until closures started with these companies in 2005.
Canada packers, CCM, Campbell Milling and Heinzman piano company were the most notable companies, which all have been converted respectfully to a large mall, another mall complex and a high rise condo. Other buildings such as the Symes waste transfer station and Sherwin Williams and Houghton plant were recently converted into a brewery, a failed condo development now waiting to be sold, and a studio complex with a gym and printing facilities. The first spot I photographed was the old Sherwin Williams plant in late 2005 on a cold Christmas weekend and it peaked my curiosity about industry in the city. Another notable location I visited multiple times was the old GE plant, which as of today (2018) is completely redeveloped. The old Bunge complex, which was located on St.Clair west of Keele was my personal favorite spot to visit while it was intact. I must have been 8 times and got to know the entire complex quite well. It was knocked over very quickly and the large stockyards mall took it’s place.
The story of my junction documentary project is quite extensive and the best way to discover more is to look at the captions on the images. I enjoyed exploring an area with so much industrial diversity so close to home and find myself wishing I still had something like this in my backyard.

Nestled in the Kawarthas near Bancroft Ontario, is Silent Lake Provincial Park.
American sportsmen fished and hunted on this private lake for 40 years before it became a park. Landlocked and undeveloped, Silent Lake has a rocky shoreline, a mixed forest and marshes full of birds and wildlife best seen by canoe. A rugged trail circles the lake, and sections of groomed ski trails have been graded for mountain biking.
I watched a few Lightroom videos and decided to play around a bit more with my previous image. I like the way this one turned out even better!
Here's the original description:
"In Rocky Mountain National Park, on the top of Trail Ridge road, we witnessed this spectacular event where the fog silently flowed in, filling up the valley. It was beautiful in its silence. When the tendrils of fog came creeping up the sides of the bowl reaching towards me, I started to feel uneasy however, like I was in a Stephen King novel."
Taken on a full moon night at Lake Wakatipu, near Queenstown, New Zealand. The view was crystal clear and very bright. So I went for a 30sec long exposure, ISO 400 at f/2.8.

Have you ever been silently in love
With someone you can never have?
So close you can touch her hand
Yet, so far to feel her heart?
Have you ever lived in pretense
Quietly loving without any condition?
A feeling of love that's unknown
Hiding it, not knowing for how long.
Have you ever been hurt unintentionally
But put on a smile, pretended to be happy?
Deep inside you're in pain and suffering
But outside you're jolly and laughing.
Why does holding her hand feel so right?
Your heart smiles every time she's at sight
Hearing her sweet voice makes your day
Hope you can hug her in a special way.

“It is an anxious, sometimes a dangerous thing to be a doll. Dolls cannot choose; they can only be chosen; they cannot 'do'; they can only be done by.”
― Rumer Godden
In our hectic life silence is often considered a curse. Personally, I consider a moment of silence as a sweet blur in the often too busy world. When there is no wind to change the course and no blinding light to shine in new directions a calming stand still can bring harmony to all the details of daily business.
I was going through a folder of pics from August 2018, and realised I had never uploaded these - silent disco walk, coming up Cockburn Street in the Old Town, at the start of the Edinburgh Fringe.
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
The origin of the Christmas carol we know as Silent Night was a poem that was written in 1816 by an Austrian priest called Joseph Mohr. On Christmas Eve in 1818 in the small alpine village called Oberndorf it is reputed that the organ at St. Nicholas Church had broken. Joseph Mohr gave the poem of Silent Night (Stille Nacht) to his friend Franz Xavier Gruber and the melody for Silent Night was composed with this in mind. The music to Silent Night was therefore intended for a guitar and the simple score was finished in time for Midnight Mass. Silent Night is the most famous Christmas carol of all time!

We wanted to do something a little different with our photos this time, so we spent a day printing and cutting photos, and slapping black paint around until we were more or less happy with the results.
Yep, it's that time again, another one of my romantic 'Car's in the foreground, Couple's in the background' drawings! In fact this almost looks like it could be advertising hotel limousines, all you have to do is throw in the company logo and you're set!
But here we have a secluded forest hotel, and as a romantic young couple see away the evening together in each other's arms, a quiet Daimler DS420 holds its own council on the whole thing, silently pondering when its next MOT is going to be, and whether it'll pass! :O

NRI had two locations which were demolished by 2009 in the Junction. This building off symington was a good size and had offices, a lab, storage area and manufacturing area too. One more NRI still exists, near Keele and Junction road. Probably visited three times and apart from one time we ran into someone, it was interesting, quiet and easy to see.

This was taken at Antietam National Battlefield. I had to set up quick with the sun dropping behind the clouds; it really set the tone for the picture. A simple soldier standing post at the end of the worst day in his life. Over 23,000 killed, wounded or missing in what was to become America's bloodiest one day battle. September 17, 1862

Does everyone think this would make a good postcard offered at the Battlefield?

The Silent Pool is a small tree-lined, spring-fed lake between Dorking and Guildford in Surrey.
Legend has it that a woodcutter who lived in the forest had a son and a beautiful daughter named Emma. One day she was bathing in the lake when she heard a horse and rider approaching and, having no time to get out and dress, she waded deeper to cover herself. The rider tried to get her to leave the water but she refused. He rode in after her and her cries for help brought her brother to her aid. Brother and sister drowned and their ghosts are said to haunt the lake and Emma is said to be seen floating on the water. Legend further has it that the rider was the future King John who succeeded his brother Richard to the throne in 1199.
No sign of any ghosts or floating damsels during my visit but it is a most beautiful and serene place.
MY Silent Hill Nurse Costume
Supplies I used: My Nurse Hat, Sharpies, A Lighter, My Dress, Brown, Black and Red Paint, Beige/Off-White Spray Paint, Coffee Gounds, Fake Blood (recipe included below), White Heels, White Stockings (two pair; control top) And A Whole Lotta Spanx.
So, every year my town holds an annual Zombie Walk. It's fun on a bun.
Last year, I just wore a blood covered hospital gown and did my own make-up. Pretty boring, huh? Well, this year I decided to up the anti! I wanted my costume to be scary but not too difficult to make and, since I'm a huge* fan of Konami's Silent Hill series, I thought what better place to start than a bobblehead nurse?
This is the first "cosplay" I've ever made. I say "cosplay" because it usually refers to anime which, though I have nothing against (seriously, you anime nuts are some of the sweetest people ever) I'm just into a lot of anime**.
Anyway, let's start at the top with our hat: The hat itself, I bought at Micheals***. It's a cheap, foam rubber kiddie nurse hat. See? The decals on it come right off.
So, to get the edges to look burned, I took a dark brown sharpie marker and drew around the brim and the top left and right corners. Then, to make an aged look, I took a lighter brown sharpie, marked on my fingers and rubbed them all over the hat. I did the same thing with the red. The burn marks are exactly that. Barely hold the lighter to the hat as this IS foam and WILL melt. Accentuate your burn marks with more dark brown sharpie and Viola!
Next, is our mask: Always the most time-consuming step. I used rigid wrap for the mask. YOU SHOULD USE PAPER MACHE'. Really speed is the only pro to using rigid wrap. Say, if you decide to make your mask the day of the con, you have it done and painted in about 4 hours. Other than that, it's messy and it flakes EVERYWHERE. It WILL get your hair and EYES. If you're not pressed for time, go with paper mache'. Much easier AND chaper to make, easier to paint, and more comfortable to wear. And NO FLAKING. But, if you're going to use ridgid wrap, here's how I did it. I took one of those styrofoam head forms that they use for wigs and measured my head. You need to do this to see how much aluminium foil you need to put on your form. Like, the form is 20 inches around. My head is, 24 inch around. So, I make sure the aluminium goes out to 24 inches. Then, you coat that bad boy (or girl?) in your rigid wrap. There are instructions on the box for how to use it. Make sure you have some deep grooves and creases. That way, when you go to paint it, it will look like gash wounds. That's what we want.
After it dries, get some off-white beigey spray paint and cover the whole head. Then, take your black paint first and get it deep into the grooves you've made. After that, your dark brown and, finally, your red. Let that baby dry and Viola!
On to the dress. You should make the dress yourself. Or buy the cheaper lab coat offline and modify it. Much like everything else, I got all ghetto and lazy on this and bought a Leg Avenue nurse dress. Ya' know the kind you're supposed to wear for your boyfriend or husband or girlfriend or whateves. I don't descriminate. But, yeah, this dress should pretty much be for sexy time only. It didn't dye worth a shit with the tea. I ended up having to rub coffee grounds into it and it was a huge mess. After that, I used a little paint and little sharpie and singed a few places. The blood is my own classic recipe (Karo syrup + red food coloring and a little water). I also took out the hem at the bottom. FYI.
The shoes: I didn't do much to the shoes because really, there isn't much I can do. They're real leather so, unless I want to shell out for some leather dye, all I can do is rub some brown paint on them to make them look a little scuffed and fling some my the blood on them.
Now, put on your stockings and you're pretty much ready to go! I hope this isn't too bad for my first try. I'll say it again because it is important, this is my first try, I am not a cosplayer, I can't sew to save my life, I'd would probably follow another tutorial. I found this one very helpful.
Thanks, everybody! Let me know what you think!
