where is the sinking house of Paris? It’s in Montmartre, right next to the Sacre Coeur (most easily reached from the Anvers metro station). Near the top of the many steps to the Sacre Coeur, on the right hand side, you’ll see a small grassy bank. The orange house is behind that bank, but, because you’re climbing a hill, you simply need to turn your camera about 45 degrees and… voila, as they say in Paris. You get the effect that the orange house is actually sinking in the background. Alternatively you can edit the photo later to get the same effect.
At Brickvention in 2010 I built a 250,000 brick cutaway model of the Love Boat – from the 1980’s TV show of the same name.
One of my favourite models of all time, it really hit home how cool a cutaway model can be, as the pioneer of this display technique I have since replicated it in many other models.
What was funny was that people who had no idea about the love boat automatically assumed as it was a big ship that it was the Titanic, which apart from being a ship had nothing else in common with it, colour, size, shape etc so hopefully this time, people can’t mistake this model for being the love boat!
This model breaks a lot of normal brick building conventions, its sheer size and of course the angle it is on, together with the slice made for a significant amount of challenges, which with a lot of planning were overcome.
It is approximately 120,000 Bricks and took over 250 hours to complete.
Production started on December 19th 2015 and was finished on January the 12th 2016. Just in time for Brickvention 2016
Built by Myself, Mitchell Kruik and Clay Mellington.
The model also has an awesome sinking lighting system design by Rob Hendrix at Lifelights
I took these photo's in a bath out in the open using natural lighting. I have taken underwater photo's before and wanted to try something different.
This is a photo of one of the coldest places in the lower 48 states. There are several "sinks" in the Logan Canyon area, including one across the ridge called Peter Sink that had the second lowest temperature ever recorded in the lower United States, minus 69.3 F, just 0.4 F off the record in Montana. Middle Sink is the second coldest in Utah, and it also holds some temperature records. The Sinks were created when caverns collapsed eons ago. They are high elevation bowls where cold air flows in from the hills and can't flow out. They even have a reverse tree line where trees can grow on the hillside, but not lower in the Sinks because there aren't enough frost-free days for the trees to survive. In fact there are never more than four days in a row that don't freeze in the bottom of the Sinks. As cold as it gets, Middle Sink is a popular place for snowmobile riders, as you can see from the tracks in this photo.
How cold is it? You can spit ice cubes. Skin gets frost bite in 15 seconds. Mercury thermometers freeze at minus 38 F.
I don't think there are actually 1,000 bridges in Venice, but there might be! There must be at least 500, and every one of them is quite unique in its own way. I think even the most hardcore photographers at some point puts on blinders… and you cross yet another bridge and you say to himself, “Yet another bridge,” and you don't take a photo. This happens to me a lot there, so now I do kind of force myself to slow down, see what is unique about this particular bridge and canal system, and try to take a shot at it.

The River Sinks Trail treks through an unheralded section Wakulla Springs State Park south of Tallahassee, Fl. The main tract of the state park is a popular area to visit for its swim area, boat tours, and other features, but there is even more located in the park's land which is easy to miss. The River Sinks tract has a large number of sinks covering land between Leon Sinks and the large head spring. These sinks are essentially openings into what is essentially an underground river which emerges for good at Wakulla Spring.
Waterfall and bridge in the GSMNP. HDR 5 exposures. Little River Road. Folklore tells of how a logging train once derailed and plunged into the Little River at this spot. It was never found as the bottom could not be reached. Thereafter, this spot was always referred to as "The Sinks."

Live and learn. It's not merely a first for abandoned-house exploring, which is a relatively new trick for this old dog, but the first time in my life that I've seen a sink skirt, or even known of their existence.
The left side of our kitchen and especially everything around our (old) kitchen sink has always been my least favourite part of our kitchen. That definitely changed with our new kitchen. :)

I received a comment from a friend that by adding contrast the photo will become more appealing and will gain in depth.
To tell you my friends, lately I have something against post processing, and am not sure how come or why. It must be something on a deeper level - and if you ask me is a temporary thing that I have become such purist :) Feel free to give your opinion about it - is the original one more appealing to you or this one where I added contrast to it?
{{{HUGS}} and wishes for a gorgeous Thursday to all of you's :)
Promise Sink is one of the more notable sinks in the River Sinks Tract of Wakulla State Park. This tract features a variety of mostly wild sinks, not all of which are inviting for swimmers. This one on the other hand is probably the most apt for swimming in the tract. It and its neighbor, Go-Between Sink, are commonly called Sister Sink. Not only are they in close proximity, but a swim-through exists under the landbridge for more adventurous swimmers, though the cave I did not see for myself since I stayed on land.
Back in the early 70's I spent a lot of time hitchhiking between Albuquerque and San Francisco. In those days Route 66 cut a semi-straight line across Arizona and New Mexico, often intersecting the center of small towns and cities.
Along the way, a hitchhiker often needed to use a bathroom which meant that you needed to get used to the notorious Route 66 gas station loos. Usually, when I asked to use the facilities, I was met with the "stink eye" followed by some greasy mechanic begrudgingly handing over an old rusty skeleton key that was attached via a chain, to a 50 pound bolt.
After struggling to lift the key to the keyhole, a rickety door usually opened into a scene that looked much like the above picture. Disgusting. I could never figure out why they saw the need to keep the doors locked. It's not like anyone wanted to spend a significant amount their day in such a filthy rat hole, and I pinky swear that I never thought twice about stealing the sink or commode. Maybe they were afraid someone would take a flamethrower to it.
