Starting at the left is the first skirt design I used on the Chibi Church Nuns. It worked, but just like all other skirts, it limited it to the forced A-pose.
The second one is the frame I used on Gaige, which fixes a few of the problems with the classic skirt but still has that A-pose.
The third one is a simple modification of the second design but no longer is it stuck in the A-pose and it keeps the original skirt without having to design a new one.
The fourth and fifth designs are adapted to add trim to the bottom of the skirt. One has the A-pose and one does not.

GB Railfreight Class 92, 92038 prepares to take the Edinburgh portion of the Caledonian Sleeper Up Lowlander from Waverley to Carstairs, where it will join with the Glasgow portion.
Last bits of technology history, still found at a past home.
120 format film camera, maker/origin unknown, period: late 50-s or early 60s. Fixed focus lens, 2 switchable apertures and 2 shutter speeds (one is 'bulb' - indefinite). All-bakellite body, sturdy design (can probably knock nails into wood). Lens appears to be plastic, single element. Optical viewfinder, manual film wind. Pretty much the standard beginner specs of the time :)
Update: Traced the origins of this to East Germany (DDR). This appears to be the second model, which dates it approx to the 60-s.
Most of the initial starting beach is done, im now moving in land and will work up to about the monorail station, then move onto another area.
Draw distance settings are for optimal performance, which also factors in height. So zooming in you can see a lot of the smaller vegetation species in the distant are missing, but in-game this isn't noticeable, its only when you're in "fly mode".
I have started making my bikini for summer...
Not really sure if I will be game enough to wear it thou...

Well if I don't at least I will make a pattern for all of the brave "hip" girls that will...
As you will note...Was not game enough to photo myself with just the bikini top on...

I can't believe what I'm getting myself into...
I wanted to start off with something simple. I don't know how serious I'm going to take this project, I'm a full time student and work part-time in the mall, so I don't know how much time I'll actually have to take photos. Because of that I probably won't be able to post everyday, though I'm going to try my hardest! I want to grow as a photographer while working on this project and become a more active member in the Flickr community. I've been wanting to start a 365 project for well over a year now, I don't know why i didn't start it earlier, I guess I was afraid I would fail and not be able to finish. But like I said, I'm not going to take this TOO seriously: I'm going to post when I have time and not stress too hard if a photo doesn't come out the way I want it to. All I want to do is finish something, even if it takes me two years to do that.
lol awkward pose, but i do like the edit.

Just working on the new design for the beach.
I'm trying to capture the landscape of Kauai and the beaches of Isla del Coco.
Kauai is of course where Jurassic Park was filmed and features those iconic cliffs and mountains, and Isla del Coco is the real life island that Trespassers version of Isla Sorna is based on. It has some nice volcanic looking beaches, with lots of rocks and minimal vegetation. Its a nice contrast to the bright lush landscapes of Kauai and i think works well for Trespasser.
The off shore rocks are from Trespasser and are just temporary for now, ill replace them with either a new model or some voxel terrain. I'm not sure i'll keep the rocks at all yet, as the blue coral reef looks really nice. Time will tell.
A full size Rex is on the beach for scale and the tail of the plane is down there too, scaled up to a more realistic size.
I'm aiming for a detail level between Stage 1 and the high detail island from the flythrough video. Rather than keeping the levels exactly as they were, I'll fix a lot of the issues as i go, cleaning up roads, smoothing out blocky terrain and spreading out patchy vegetation.
I still have lots of vegetation and objects to add yet, right now im just trying to establish a theme i can run with and then move onto the more open plain areas. Once i have a look nailed down for the beaches, jungles and open plains for the islands south, i'll move north and start working on the pine and redwood forests. Then i'll come back through and finish everything off.
The Lansdowne is one of the most important junctions in town and is where six roads, Christchurch Rd, Meyrick Rd, Bath Rd, Old Christchurch Rd, Lansdowne Rd and Holdenhurst Rd converge.
Work started on the construction of the Municipal College and Central Library in 1910 with the buildings opening in 1913.
A large detached house [ villa ] called Peachley, built in the mid 1860s, stood on a generous plot at the corner of Christchurch Rd and Meyrick Rd overlooking The Lansdowne and was demolished to make way for the new building.
Another villa called Strathearn that had it's origins in an 1860s villa called Angorfa was incorporated into the end of the Christchurch Rd section of the college.
The clock was donated by Anne Elizabeth Croft, the mother of the local MP Sir Henry Page Croft, in 1912. In 2005 the clock fell silent when maintenance staff were prohibited from climbing the 150ft tower to wind the mechanism on health and safety grounds.
In 2010 an appeal was launched for it's repair and in 2010 it was given a good clean and was converted from hand wound to electric with a link to a satellite to ensure it keeps good time.
On the Meyrick Rd side of the college / library building stood another detached villa [ c 1870s ] that was the Tintagel Boarding House that later became the Tintagel Hotel which survived until the late 1930s.
On the south facing Gervis Rd side of today's enlarged college campus are two villas, Woodcote [ c 1865 ] and Ascham House [ 1865 ], both grade 2 listed, that have been used as schools for much of their long history but probably most notably as Bournemouth Girls School from 1918. In 1932 a new section was built between these two older properties, which were linked to the new building via a corridor to the rear.
In 1960/61 the girls school moved to new premises at Castle Gate Close at Castle Lane West in the north of the town and Woodcote and Ascham House were absorbed into an enlarged college campus.
The main college / library building was extended to the rear and further buildings erected on the campus over the years. In 2002 the central library was moved to new purpose built premises at The Triangle.
Further developments are currently in the pipeline which may result in parts of the campus, once known as the 'Bournemouth College of Technology' and now the 'Bournemouth and Poole College', being redeveloped, including the 1932 section of the former girls school, with the main buildings hopefully remaining safe, protected by their grade 2 listing.
A [ VERY ] POTTED HISTORY OF BOURNEMOUTH...............
1810 - 1835
The founding of the town of Bournemouth is officially commemorated as the being 1810 the year that Captain Lewis Tregonwell and his wife Henrietta purchased a plot of land on the west bank of the Bourne stream upon which to build a large detached house that would serve as their new holiday home. The land was purchased from Sir George Tapps, Lord of the Manor of Christchurch, who became the largest landowner after what had been common land was effectively privatised in the Christchurch Inclosure Act 1802 and the subsequent Awards of 1805.
At that time the area was a remote one that lay mid way between Christchurch and Poole, themselves not the large towns they are today, on what was virtually uninhabited heathland. The house, known as the ''Mansion', was completed in 1812 with the Tregonwells purchasing further land to increase the size of their estate upon which they built a few cottages for staff members and several more to let, mainly to family, friends and associates.
Although the Tregonwells eventually rented out their Mansion, their estate, referred to as 'Bourne Tregonwell' remained all but unknown to the outside world and was somewhere they spent much of their time.
Their original holiday home still exists as part of the Royal Exeter Hotel that stands opposite the Bournemouth International Centre [ B.I.C ] on Exeter Rd.
Lewis Tregonwell died in 1832 a few short years before the next important stage in the development of Bournemouth.
1835 - 1870
In 1835 Sir George Tapps died and his son Sir George Gervis inherited his father's land, much of which lay to the east of the Bourne stream and set about creating a new development that he called his 'Marine Village', a seaside resort aimed at attracting paying guests. Early buildings included the Bath Hotel, later enlarged as the Royal Bath Hotel, the Westover Villas, a row of large detached houses or villas on generous plots that lined what is now Westover Rd, the Belle Vue Boarding House that fronted todays Pier Approach and some public baths that stood where, what was popularly known as the Imax building, was later built..
The new development wasn't a resort as we would understand it now, offering beach holidays, but more of a health resort with much being made of the area's mild micro climate and the health giving properties of the masses of pine trees that would also offer protection from the more extreme vagaries of the British weather.
Over the coming years more and more villas were built, spreading out from the banks of the Bourne stream which in turn attracted those that were needed to build the new properties and those that provided services to the well heeled residents of the fledgling town such as domestic staff, gardeners and food, grocery and household goods suppliers.
By 1856 there was a need to amalgamate the growing development and so Parliament passed the Bournemouth Improvement Act that set the town's first boundary as being within a 1 mile radius of what is today Pier Approach. it also provided for a team of Commissioners, essentially the town's first Council, charged with the power to raise funds via property rates to pay for things like highway improvements, drainage, sewers and street cleaning.
The town continued to grow within the 1 mile boundary and also led to development outside it including artisan / working class areas at Springbourne and Winton.
In 1870 the railway came to town but it was seen by many as a necessary evil and something to be kept as far away from the town centre as possible and so the station was located at the very edge of the 1 mile boundary on the opposite side of Holdenhurst Rd to the present Central Station. This arrival of the railway combined with cheaper rail fares and the creation by Parliament of the first Bank Holidays would lead to the next phase in the development of Bournemouth turning it from a sleepy seaside resort favoured by the wealthy upper classes many of whom were suffering poor health, into the large, bustling holiday destination that we know and love today. Bring it on!
1870 - PRESENT DAY
In 1871 the town's population was just under six thousand but by 1891 it had increased almost ten fold to just under sixty thousand. Most of the new citizens were new comers to the area drawn by the opportunities the fast expanding new town could offer.
In 1876 Springbourne and Boscombe became part of Bournemouth when the town boundaries were extended for the first time with a further six following including Westbourne in 1884, Pokesdown, Southbourne, Winton and Moordown in 1901, Malmesbury Park, Charminster and Strouden Park in 1914, Kinson and Holdenhurst in 1931.
The final area incorporated into the town was Hengistbury Head in 1932 which was purchased from H. Gordon Selfridge founder of the Selfridges department store chain and took the town to it's present size.
Today Bournemouth is home to more than 160,000 people and has grown at a phenomenal rate in the past two hundred years since the Tregonwells purchased that first eight and a half acres of land back in 1810.
The town is still a popular holiday destination and has had to work hard to compete against the rise of the foreign holiday and the unpredictability of the British weather by trying to attract visitors year round. Short weekend breaks, the conference trade, the annual airshow and a thriving night time economy all play their part in attracting day trippers and holiday makers, the life blood of the town's tourism industry.
Sadly Bournemouth is also a victim of it's own success and has almost reached bursting point with space for new homes very much at a premium. Many older, larger properties are being demolished to make way for more, smaller properties, many of them blocks of flats which are squeezed into every available space.
The last of the green belt clings desperately by it's finger tips to the north, rightly or wrongly the town planners and Councillors come under attack for their stewardship of the town and any resemblance to a slow paced seaside resort of old has long gone.
The pressures of modern life, traffic levels, the drinking culture and even the current economic climate all take their toll on the quality of life in the town but it's not all doom and gloom.
Bournemouth is still a great place with much to be proud of such as it's wonderful sandy beaches, cliffs, pleasure gardens, parks, some of it's buildings both old and new, oh, and it's history of course.

Not everyone like me wakes up at 4 am to catch the sunrise over Angkor, but the few amount of tourists doesn't last long, after a couple of hours the place is packed.
This is the main entrance to the site, and the balloon in the sky is another way to experience the temples from above if you are willing to pay the $10.

The is a photograph from the third running of the Athlone Flatline Half Marathon ("The Flatline") which was held at Athlone, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Saturday 13th September 2014 at 11:00. There was beautiful weather for the event which started and finished at St. Aloysius College near the Canal Banks area of the town just slightly west of the River Shannon. This event was professionally organised and the very flat course meant that many runners both seasoned and new to the scene achieved season or personal bests. Almost 1,000 participants successfully completed the event in the beautiful September sunshine. Everyone involved must be congratulated for the flawless running of the event. This event is sure to go from strength to strength over the coming years. The event has grown from just over 600 in 2012, to over 900 in 2013 with around the same number finishing in 2014. Entry to the race closed weeks in advance.
This is a photograph which is part of a larger set of photographs taken at the start and finish of "The Flatline" 2014. The URL of the main set is www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157647516503901. This photoset contains photographs of the start (at the 600 meter mark) and then of the finish (at the 400 meter mark to go) up to a finish time of about 1:45.

Overall Race Summary
Participants: Such is the popularity of the race this year that registration closed for the race in mid-August 2013. There were well over 850 participants who took to the start line.
Weather: The weather on the day was almost too warm for running which is a very rare complaint in Ireland. The runners were bathed in hot September sunshine for the duration of the race and into the early afternoon. In the sections of the race out towards Clonown and around the Bord na Mona areas there was a cooling.
Course: "The Flatline" ceratinly lived up to its name. It is as flat a course as one is likely to find. A garmin connect gps trace of the route is provided here [connect.garmin.com/activity/199678412] Geographically the course spends much of the race in County Roscommon with only the first and last kilometers actually in County Westmeath. This gives geographically inclined runners the novel opportunity to race in two Irish provinces in one race. The course had distance markers at every kilometre and mile along the way. There were official pacers provided by the race organisers.
Location Map: Start/finish area and registration etc on Google StreetView [goo.gl/maps/8qCes] - Ample parking was supplied with some over-flow car-parking options also available.
Refreshments: An Alkohol Frei bottle of Erdinger was provided to every finisher as they crossed the line. Light refreshments were served.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
