That morning in the alehouse none of them would have guessed they will lose all they had by the time night falls. Last night's election was the hot topic, when all of the sudden the sludge painted their lives red. It ate away the streets, houses, animals, vineyards, breathing nature. Causing permanent scars on body and soul. Two meters high. Making houses uninhabitable. The places they used to call their home.
And killing the neighbors they once had.
The scatching lye became their fate, still leaving them human. Standing two feet on the ground, holding onto life with both hands, with a mighty heart... and a smile on their faces.
Do they have anything left? Soul and memories. Dignity.
Objects surrounding us are just objects. They will only be important after they are gone. Just a smile and few kind words do stay with us.

Delving into the roots of Post-Apoc, inspired by one of my favorite MOCs of all time by Legohaulic. That build was one of the first MOCs I saw before I joined the Lego community. Finally got around to finishing this morning. Enjoy! :)

The Sludge Puppy uses hazerdous waste as a weapon. It comes complete with 4 wheel steering controled by the bley knob on the back.
Sad to see this beautiful Mandarin Drake struggle on the sludge that the lake and ponds at the Arboretum have become !! Keep the rain coming ! Lake Baldwin used to have a depth of 12 ft - now 30 inches. Dredging has become essential or this historic lake will soon no longer be!
With outside conditions improving the farther north they travel, northbound CSX empty coal train E760 screeches around the Clinchco, VA, bridge crossing over VA Route 63 and the calm waters of the McClure River on the frosty afternoon of January 9, 2021.
This otherworldly place is actually part of the Mono Lake, near the County Park formation area. Got up early as usual to witness the first light on the strange tufa formations. 5:30am, it was coldddd. The frozen ground, more like sludge, was very difficult to walk on, although I had managed to get pretty far away from where I parked. I was amazed by what I saw.
Just inside the portal of the abandoned Hazel mine looking at the flooded tunnel. At parts the sludge water got up to our thighs, and the entire tunnel is completely flooded.

GWR Green "sludge" set passes Magor whilst forming 1B35 12:30 Paddington - Swansea with 43188 leading on 30/1/2016.
Some models that I created a while back for Megan Rothrock's Lego Adventure Book 2. Full instructions for both of the main models and the background buildings in the book.
This model is a revisit of my old Sludge Puppy.
I know apatosaurs don't have big sharp teeth like that, but it mirrored Grimlock's design, so I figured it gave them more of a "team" look.
Disparagingly known as "Sludge Island" by South Eastern Railwaymen the large depot built on the Thames marshes at Slade Green was home to the South Eastern Divisions suburban EMU fleet. It still is a large site with up and down carriage sidings either side of the mainline, a large cleaning shed (seen here) and heavy repair workshops.
On this occasion 33 025 named 'Sultan' is waiting to depart with withdrawn class 415/5 4-COM (ex 4-EPB) unit no.5509 as special 5Z33 the 14.55 to Sevenoaks Up Sidings. The 4-COM units (sets 5501-5532) were former unrefurbished 4-EPB sets reformed grouping all the "dog box" single compartment trailers into 32 units. traditionally one vehicle in a 4-car EPB would be single compartment coach. This decision came about after the horrific murder of a young woman on 23rd March 1988 in a single compartment on 4-EPB set 5115 between Orpington and London Victoria. After that BR only diagrammed the units for peak hour workings and within 3 years they were all withdrawn. The designation "4-COM" stood for "4-Car Compartment" although some said "Commuter". On the left is one of the original class 416/2 BR built 2-EPB sets no.6202 originally numbered 5702 it was one of 11 sets built in 1954 for replacing the elderly 2-SL and 2-WIM stock used on the London to Wimbledon and West Croydon services.
SS Shieldhall is a preserved steamship that operates from Southampton. She spent her working life as one of the "Clyde sludge boats", making regular trips from Shieldhall in Glasgow, Scotland, down the River Clyde and Firth of Clyde past the Isle of Arran, to dump treated sewage sludge at sea. These steamships had a tradition, dating back to the First World War, of taking organised parties of passengers on their trips during the summer. SS Shieldhall has been preserved and the accommodation is again being put to good use for cruises.

Here's my 4th micro Dinobot: Sludge! I was going to wait a few days to post him, but figured I'd just do it now. I like the angle I shot this at better than previous Dinobot pics, so I'll retake my other pics before posting all the Dinobots together. Consists of 39 pieces and fully transforms from robot to dinosaur. What do you think?
This is the 'pair' to the Mishima Sludge Factory (see last upload) - this beauty is the Mishima Incineration Plant. This complex is fairly close to the sludge factory (about a block away).
I had to shoot high with a lot of these, as the ground level was pretty uninspiring (not very well looked after).
As some commentators mentioned in the previous upload, the architect behind these is an Austrian, Hundertwasser, and is very typical of his work.
From wiki:
"Friedensreich Regentag Dunkelbunt Hundertwasser, born Friedrich Stowasser, (December 15, 1928 – February 19, 2000) was an Austrian painter, architect and sculptor.
Born in Vienna, he became one of the best-known contemporary Austrian artists, although controversial, by the end of the 20th century.
Hundertwasser's original and unruly artistic vision expressed itself in pictorial art, environmentalism, philosophy, and design of facades, postage stamps, flags, and clothing (among other areas). The common themes in his work utilised bright colours, organic forms, a reconciliation of humans with nature, and a strong individualism, rejecting straight lines.
His art life began when he was at vienna, he became fasinated with the work of a person known as Egon Schiele and so unknowingly his art life began.
He remains sui generis, although his architectural work is comparable to Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926) in its biomorphic forms and use of tile. He was also inspired by the Austrian of the Vienna Art Nouveau (Vienna Secession) movement's traditions, and by the Austrian painters works Egon Schiele (1890 –1918) from an early date, and Gustav Klimt (1862, 1918). Hundertwasser's original style was often compared to that of Gustav Klimt.
He was fascinated with spirals, and called straight lines "the devil's tools". He called his theory of art "transautomatism", based on Surrealist automatism, but focusing on the experience of the viewer, rather than the artist.
Hundertwasserhaus in Vienna
Although Hundertwasser first achieved notoriety for his boldly-coloured paintings, he is more widely renowned today for his revolutionary architectural designs, which incorporate natural features of the landscape, and use of irregular forms in his building design. Hundertwasserhaus, a low-income apartment block in Vienna, features undulating floors ("an uneven floor is a melody to the feet"), a roof covered with earth and grass, and large trees growing from inside the rooms, with limbs extending from windows. He took no payment for the design of Hundertwasserhaus, declaring that it was worth it, to "prevent something ugly from going up in its place".
He felt that standard architecture could not be called art, and declared that the design of any building should be influenced by the aesthetics of its eventual tenants. Hundertwasser was also known for his performance art, in which he would, for instance, appear in public in the nude promoting an ecologically friendly flush-less toilet.
Incinerator works in Vienna
On July 4, 1958 he read his celebrated and controversial Verschimmelungs-Manifest, the so-called Mould Manifesto against rationalism in architecture, in the abbey of Seckau. "A person in a rented apartment must be able to lean out of his window and scrape off the masonry within arm's reach. And he must be allowed to take a long brush and paint everything outside within arm's reach. So that it will be visible from afar to everyone in the street that someone lives there who is different from the imprisoned, enslaved, standardised man who lives next door."
In 1972 he published the manifesto Your window right — your tree duty: planting trees in an urban environment was to become obligatory: "If man walks in nature's midst, then he is nature's guest and must learn to behave as a well-brought-up guest." He died at the age of 71."

Longannet power station is a large coal-fired power station in Fife capable of co-firing biomass, natural gas and sludge. The station is situated on the north bank of the Firth of Forth, near Kincardine on Forth.
Its generating capacity of 2,400 megawatts is the highest of any power station in Scotland. The station began generating electricity in 1970, and when it became fully operational it was the largest coal-fired station in Europe. It is now the third largest, after Bełchatów in Poland and Drax in England, and the 21st most polluting.
After failing to win a contract from the National Grid Longannet is set to close "by March 2016". The station was opened in 1973 and operated by the South of Scotland Electricity Board until 1990 when its operation was handed over to Scottish Power following privatisation.
The station is a regional landmark, dominating the Forth skyline with its 183 m (600 ft) chimney stack. Longannet lacks cooling towers, instead using water from the River Forth for cooling
Why is this a "sludge-cam" ??? It spent the previous 13 months before these photos were taken... beneath 6 feet of dirty water and a foot of black sludgy rotting vegetation at the bottom of a holding tank in a closed-down water processing plant:
www.flickr.com/photos/61377404@N08/32699120132/in/datepos...
These photos show it after being hosed off and set out in the hot Texas sun to dry for a day. The owner lost his grip on it when changing settings while taking photos from the catwalk over the tank. An attempt to retrieve it was unsuccessful because of zero visibility in the dark water of the tank, made even darker by disturbing the thick layer of sludge.
Over a year later I was working around the old plant and was told about the camera and decided to try to find it. I hose-clamped a garden rake to the telescoping pole on a long-handled pruning saw after first removing the saw blade. This made a crude "snag tool" for dragging along the bottom of the tank. I really didn't need to see the tank bottom, which was invisible anyway, beneath the dirty water and sludge layer. By extending the pole saw handle, working from the catwalk, I could drag the garden rake's toothy head across the bottom of the entire tank... even into the corners. The first twenty minutes were spent pulling out sludgy, smelly sticks and rotting leaves. Then a more careful, slow process began. The trick was to move very slowly and notice when anything on the tank bottom offered any resistance to the rake. After ten minutes I finally pulled up a sludgy broken brick... not the prize I had hoped for, but it did provide "proof of concept"... retrieving the camera might be possible. After another five minutes I finally felt a bit of resistance and carefully worked the invisible object against the tank wall and started to lift slowly, keeping pressure on the object... pushing against the wall while raising the handle. Eventually a ball of sludge with a short lanyard hanging out of it appeared, resting on the rake tines. Moving carefully to grab the lanyard, I nearly fumbled the camera back into the tank. What came next was a thorough hosing off in a bucket of water, then drying the camera. To speed the drying process along as much as possible, I removed the SD card and battery, leaving the compartment door open. The battery had corroded itself in place and had to be jimmied out with a small screw driver.
My friend told me that the camera owner was flying in from the west coast to visit over the Thanksgiving holiday. He was presented with the camera and it now sits on his desk at work. But... I was able to give him something else also. The SD card looked pretty grim. Even though it had been buttoned up in its compartment, water had infiltrated and caused an electrolytic reaction, resulting in partial delamination of the gold finger contacts. I plugged it into a spare card reader to see if it contained any images. There was no indication that a card was present... as if the card reader was plugged in, but empty. Looking at the contacts I figured that some kind of cleaning might be possible. I took a round toothpick and crushed the end to make a tiny brush-like tip. Wetting the tip and dipping it in some fine Texas dust from outside made a kind of abrasive tool. Using this to gently scrub each gold contact individually, grime and discoloration were "erased". I had to "go light" to avoid removing any gold. After rinsing and drying I tried once more to get the reader to detect the card. There was still no indication that a card was present... until I tried repeatedly removing and reinserting the card. Then... a folder appeared, containing about 90 pristine, clear, crisp images. They looked as if they had just been taken. All the EXIF data was intact. Before anything could happen to make the folder disappear... a possibility considering the card's condition, I quickly copied the folder to the computer, then burned it to a disc. The camera owner was amazed when I told him to browse through the disc containing "mystery" images. I hadn't yet told him about recovering the camera.

I walk beside these hulking, monstrous, silent sentinels, and I know that when I breath my last breath, when my heart beats its last pump of drug diluted blood, and my body becomes part of this sludge we call "Home", they'll resurrect me. Emotionless and without thought, that which is the only thing that liberates me from the oppression they call life down here, I'll be reprogrammed like a piece of circuitry.
They tell you when you sign up that in order for society to make its strides towards success and progress everyone must walk in the same direction. For anyone to gain that nirvana that awaits once you clock out one last time would be to take two steps backwards. We all know that's just bullshit, but the pay is good, and the drugs let us get one step closer to that relief we all seek. The high is cheap, but so is life.
So I walk side by side, with some curse soul. Repairing the infrastructure made for the rich, and maintained by the scum.
I'll never understand its pain, but it can't even understand the word "pain". It's some kind of fucked-up joke really. No longer can I use the future to escape the reality in which I live like I did when I was younger. Because I see my future beside me. It's physical. It's as real as me. The second I signed that contract, I signed my life, actually my death, away to some corporation as lifeless, cold and ugly as the goblin I call my guardian down here in the abyss.
Inspired by the likes of Babiru, Bioshock's Big Daddy Concepts, and Carter Baldwin's Grunt Hardsuit builds. It's built to look ugly on purpose. I really wanted to use that center piece after getting a couple of the old Exo Force sets. Enjoy.
