The sun sets on a long Patagonian summer day in the south of Chile. Picture taken in Puerto Natales with a 5Dsr, 16-35 f4 and a Lee Big Stopper. 4 minute exposure time. The wind was intense. Thank goodness for the stability of the RRS TVC-34L.
Initially, I framed this image wide, using a conventional 3:2 ratio. Then I decided to crop more closely, using a square format, contrasting the strength and stability of the composition with the intimacy and tenderness of the moment.
I've wanted a dark green bomber ever since I saw Dan Siskind's B-25. When I started designing this plane I didn't think I'd be able to create a glass nose I was happy with so I chose the gunship model. During the process I figured out the glass nose that I ended up using on the B-25B (which was a way to test my B-25 design for structural stability in a much cheaper color than dark green), but really wanted to have a gunship version with 8 nose guns and the eagle head. I ended up building a glass nose module for this plane as well and will take some pictures of it at some point.
This plane retains the same working landing gear, bomb bay doors, bomb release mechanism, crew hatch, swiveling top turret as the B-25B. It adds two waist gun positions and a tail gun that has two axes of motion.
The chief logo was designed by Vasilije Injac. If you need something designed, I can't recommend him enough. He is tagged in these photos and I will post some pictures of the design of the logo.

Taken at Tard nature reserve in north east Hungary.
This species was right on the top of my target list but it wasn't until the last full day of the trip that I actually managed to find one.
Whilst it's not in the best of condition I was still very pleased to see one however with the weather on the turn trying to photograph it was a different matter.
I would have much preferred a bit more of the plant in the picture but the breeze was almost constant and increasing, so I had to use two plamps with one just out of the shot to get as much stability as possible. This is the uncropped shot.
Best viewed very large.

I've visited this wood many times over the last 18 months as it always gives something new.
This latest find was taken after 9 pm on a dark and dull Friday night just as I was about to give up.
Four portrait shots combined to form a square crop.
Everyone loves long exposure shots of waterfalls that make the flowing water look smooth and beautiful. Those shots are much harder from the air because you don’t have the stability of a tripod. Leave the shutter open too long and everything is blurry instead of just the water. But I gave it a try with an ND filter and some blue hour light. I’m pretty happy with the result.
The skate park in front of the European Central Bank a week ago. It was so dark I could harldy see the kids zipping by, and I had forgotten my camera was still set to ISO 200, but the miracles of IBIS kept the stage sharp. In the end I liked the effect.
Thank you everyone for your visits, faves and comments, they are always appreciated :)
Euromast is an observation tower in Rotterdam, Netherlands, designed by Hugh Maaskant constructed between 1958 and 1960. It was specially built for the 1960 Floriade, and is a listed monument since 2010. The tower is a concrete structure with an internal diameter of 9 m (30 ft) and a wall thickness of 30 cm (12 in). For stability it is built on a concrete block of 1,900,000 kg (4,200,000 lb) so that the centre of gravity is below ground. It has a "crow's nest" observation platform 96 m (315 ft) above-ground and a restaurant. Originally 101 m (331 ft) in height it was the tallest building in Rotterdam. It lost this position to the high-rise of Erasmus MC (113.5 m, 372 ft) which was completed in 1968, but regained it when the Space Tower was added to the top of the building in 1970, giving an additional 85 m (279 ft). Euromast is a member of the World Federation of Great Towers. In 2008 and 2009, the tower hosted an extreme sports event which featured BASE jumping.
For #transportation and MacroMondays. I wear hiking boots for stability almost anytime I head outdoors. Doesn't always work ;(

Today at one of the Goodwill stores on our thrift route, we found a nice little KidKraft dollhouse, with the furniture, a doll family and some extras.
We also found bags of Rainbow High dolls crazy cheap but that's another photo.
Anyway, CM was lugging stuff as usual and it suddenly reminded me of a photo from 14 years ago at the flea market:
www.flickr.com/photos/cmultra/5002648065/
That caused me to think this would be a fun modern parallel photo.
Things haven't changed! CM's still a good sport about being a grown man toting dollhouses around. 😄
It also caused me to give thanks to God for consistency in life. In a fallen world of deceit and violence, it doesn't just happen that we live in such a stable society that 14 years later, we're still enjoying toy photography.
It is the grace of God in His kindness towards our nation through our Savior, the Lord, Christ Jesus. 😊 🙏
Don't change! Keep enjoying toys! And give thanks. 😊

I am still experiencing flickr problems and am unable to comment or fave some of my contacts. It is very frustrating . . . this is what flickr support wrote to me:
At this time we are in the process of migrating Flickr away from Yahoo servers and onto our own system built on top of Amazon Web Services that, once complete, will be able to provide more stability, fewer downtime Panda pages, and will allow us to focus on building a better Flickr experience for our users. While this migration is taking place, you may notice a few more hiccups than usual as we transfer over 100 million accounts and several billion photos over to a new home, and we apologize for any frustration or inconvenience this may cause.
Tomorrow Frances is coming here for an evening meal, so back soon . . .
La Escalera de Andrade
Hacia 1700, en los últimos años de su carrera, el maestro mayor de la catedral de Santiago de Compostela, Domingo de Andrade, realizó un alarde técnico sin precedentes al construir una singular escalera de caracol en el Convento de Santo Domingo de Bonaval. El presente trabajo ofrece una hipótesis constructiva de la obra en base a los conocimientos y medios disponibles en la época, atendiendo a su geometría, trazado, labra de los peldaños y puesta en obra en condiciones de estabilidad estructural. Se ha realizado una maqueta a escala 1:5, que ha permitido demostrar la hipótesis de que la escalera pudo ser levantada sin necesidad alguna de apeos.
The Andrade Staircase
By 1700, in the last years of his career, the main teacher of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, Domingo de Andrade, made an unprecedented technical display when building a unique spiral staircase in the Convent of Santo Domingo de Bonaval. The present work offers a constructive hypothesis of the work based on the knowledge and means available at the time, taking into account its geometry, layout, stepping of the steps and putting into work in conditions of structural stability. A scale model has been made at 1: 5 scale, which has allowed us to prove the hypothesis that the ladder could be lifted without any need for attachments.

This is totally not my style, but I thought it'd be fun to create a folk art type quilt. First, I fussy cut some Kaffe Fassett flowers and appliqued them along with about a thousand (LOL) hand cut leaves to my base tree and ground cover. Then I hand stitched each leaf once for stability. Finally, I hand quilted the whole thing with about a million black and white colonial knots. I hope you like it!

Swahili racing teams come together several times a year to compete in traditional hand-crafted, arabic-styled Mashua dhows in the Lamu Archipelago off Kenya's northern Swahili Coast.
The finest racing dhows are selected from each village to compete under sail through a complicated series of buoys, combining speed and balance with elaborate tacking and maneuvering competence. Intense village rivalries build over the years, often reaching pitch fever on race day.
This magnificent racing dhow and crew are in the lead as they move into the final leg of the race. They are the ultimate winners and will return to their village on the island of Pate with team bragging rights and a certain village swagger that will likely last several months until the next race.
Six crewmen in the lead dhow are perched on an adjustable plank that hangs out over the choppy waters for added balance, speed, and stability. About sixteen young crewmen all together are crowded into each dhow to give the necessary weight, balance, and stability against a stiff coastal trade wind.
The art of Swahili dhow racing requires considerable team skill as the dhows manoeuvre back and forth through the Manda Channel and open waters of the Indian Ocean before turning back to the starting point at Shela, a small Muslim fhishing settlement on the island of Lamu.
The races are organized yearly, usually in conjunction with a Swahili cultural festival or an Islamic religious holiday in the archipelago. This Shela-based race is organized by Peponi's on New Year's Day.
For centuries, these vessels have connected the ancient ports and maritime cultures of the East African coast, driven by seasonal trade winds linking the Swahili Coast with the Arabian Peninsula, the Persian Gulf, India, and the Far East. expl#189
Shoreham-by-Sea landcsape.
Taken today. Shoreham-by-Sea landscape. One of my shots taken today of the River Adur in Shoreham-by-Sea with my Olympus E-PL8 and M.Zuiko 40-150mm f/4-5.6 lens, as usual 5-frame handheld HDR. It's going to take a while for me to get used to using longer lenses in landscapes but it's a start. VFM-wise one of the best £80 odd quid that I've ever spent on a bit of photographic gear :) .The pistol grip also came in useful not only for added stability but also to get the angle held high above the bridge's tall barrier. The lens is sharp but, I often, as here, like to introduce some softness and diffusion in my landscape shots as it's less clinical looking and more atmospheric, I think that it's a case of finding the right balance.

From Wikipedia -
The guanaco (Lama guanicoe) is a camelid native to South America that stands between 107 and 122 cm (3.5 and 4 feet) at the shoulder and weighs about 90 kg (200 lb). The colour varies very little (unlike the domestic llama), ranging from a light brown to dark cinnamon and shading to white underneath. Guanacos have grey faces and small straight ears. The name guanaco comes from the South American language Quechua word wanaku (old spelling, huanaco). Young guanacos are called chulengo(s).
The guanaco is native to the arid, mountainous regions of South America. Guanaco are found in the altiplano of Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia, Chile and Argentina. In Chile and Argentina, they are more numerous in Patagonian regions, in places like the Torres del Paine National Park, and Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego. In these areas, they have more robust populations, since there are limitations on grazing competition from livestock. Bolivian Indians have been known to raise guanaco to help them regain their population stability. A guanaco’s typical lifespan is 20 to 25 years.

The ministry of time
Chapter II: The Mystery of the Incubators
The style card and credits here
Sam found himself alone in the laboratory, the dim lights flickering intermittently over the equipment. A bottle of beer was within his reach as he immersed himself in his thoughts. Recently, an unusual event had shaken his scientific world: the disappearance of a body from the incubators. This act not only defied the laws but also raised serious questions about the integrity of the timeline.
As the golden liquid flowed down his throat, Sam pondered the possible devastating consequences that this incident could unleash. What effect would it have on historical evolution? How would it alter temporal continuity? These questions haunted him, filling his mind with unease and concern.
An even more alarming idea seized his thoughts: Who could have orchestrated this act and for what purpose? Time travel technology was heavily regulated, its illegal use a serious offense. Only a few would have access to it, and none of them would have noble motives to carry out such an action.
As Sam delved into his reflections, a determination grew within him: he must uncover the truth behind this enigma. Not only for the sake of the scientific community and temporal stability but also for his insatiable thirst for knowledge. With determination in his gaze, he promised himself that he would not rest until he found answers and ensured that temporal integrity remained intact.

The legislative elections were held on February 6 peacefully in this country known as a bastion of stability and democratic governance in Africa. Since 2008, UNDP has supported the modernization and consolidation of electoral system through its support of the National Electoral Commission.
UNDP has mobilized 700,000 USD from the Spanish Cooperation, which has given continuity to the activities of the regional project to support the public administration reform , contributing to the consolidation of the National System of Identification and Authenticity Civil (SNIAC). This project which aims to strengthen the infrastructural support of SINIAC, has contributed to the acquisition of equipment for three databases containing biometric information.
As a prelude, the UNDP has supported the organization of the first voter registration in Cape Verde using the biometric information. The project contributed also for capacity development by training, approximately 600 trainers and operators kits census at a national level and had as well conduct an extensive information and education campaign in order to sensitized people to realize their participation' s right. The project has also created an integrated database containing biometric information for the election, as well for civil and border services.
Capeverdean diaspora has been the subject of special attention. Whith UNDP, the country has implemented a strategy census of its population living abroad, through funds raised from Government of Luxembourg, and reaching more than 30,000 people before the election period.
Cape Verde has few natural resources, with a population of 500,000 people distributed in 4000Km2, and a cultivable area of 10%. However, since January 2008, the country was graduated from the category of Least Developed Countries (LDCs) for Middle Income Countries (MICs). This important step recognizes the success of an independent country since 1975 including the choice of development based on human capital, services, new information technologies, tourism, agriculture and fisheries, among others, which have significant reduction of poverty (49% of the population in 1989 to 26.6% in 2007), growth of real GDP per capita (from 902 USD in 1990 to $ 3,306 in 2008), and a significant improvement living conditions of the population. These achievements and successes are attributed to a harmonious political and economic governance, with political stability and, in a context of sustainable peace, because of social and economic development a priority in the national agenda of development.
In this context, UNDP plays a catalytic role in cooperation with national agencies within the UN system, particularly the strengthening of national institutions, through the component e-governance "of its Governance program.

85 Seconds to Midnight references the Doomsday Clock, a symbolic measure of global catastrophe. The title reflects heightened nuclear tension in the modern era. A delicate human hand and telephone contrast with cold mechanical instruments, emphasizing the fragility of life within systems of deterrence. The coiled cord and voltmeter imply a live circuit awaiting a final signal. The work suggests that technological sophistication has not erased existential risk. Instead, humanity remains suspended in a narrow margin between stability and annihilation, dependent on restraint, communication, and decisions made under immense pressure.
So I (obviously) got inspired by that big UCS Falcon with the jet stream that floated around the world wide web a little while ago. I thought it would be fun to make a smaller version of that and making the support out of lego as well.
This meant I first had to design a falcon that didn't weigh too much, which was a fun challenge. The lighting effect is a simple LED-string that I have used in a couple of other builds before. Aside from that it's just lego. I added the base to hide the battery-source as well as for stability and figured some sort of microscale sci-fi city would be appropriate.
Anyways, hope you like it :)
6:18 one of the last photos of the session in the long awaited mist or rather fog. I was looking also for some sun but there were no rays at all. The light was easy anyway - lower the contrasts, better the backgrounds. Beautiful morning in the type I like very much.

An updated version of my TX-225 GAVw "Occupier" combat assault tank out of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
With more builders making their own rendition of that vehicle I felt like it wasn't really up-to-date anymore. So I decited to update my older MOC from early 2019.
As that earlier version as well as the new one is still based on Sydag's TX-225 in terms of size and especially the front panel detailling, I still see the need of crediting him for his amazing work without which, mine wouldn't have been possible!
The most recognisable difference most likey is the changed colour sceme. While my old build already featured weathering this new one has much more of it and also improves on it. Also I got rid of the sand blue which back then I felt was a nice touch.
Other changes I made are:
- moving treads
- more accurate shape
- increased stability
- indicated interior
- more details
I hope you guys enjoy the update.
Sitting in Wells next the Sea harbour is former RNLI lifeboat 37-15 Ernest Tom Neathercoat, 24th October 2020. The Ernest Tom Neathercoat is a 37ft Oakley class self righting lifeboat and is one of a class of twenty six lifeboats. The Oakley class was the first class of motor lifeboat designed as a self-righting boat. The design combined great stability with the ability to self-right in the event of it capsizing and had a top speed of 8 knots. The protype entered service in 1958 with the Ernest Tom Neathercoat entering service in 1965. It was allocated to Wells next the Sea where it remained until 1990 when it moved to North Sunderland for a year before being withdrawn in 1991. Whilst at Wells it was launched eighty five times and is credited in saving sixteen lives.
