"Sand artist Denny Dyke draws crowds to Face Rock State Scenic Viewpoint in Bandon, Oregon, with labyrinths raked onto the beach. He estimates that 5,500 people walked the 65 spiral works he and his Circles in the Sand team created in 2016.
Why make labyrinths? They're traditionally a meditation tool, among other uses. Walking one is a time to be quiet, a few moments when you don't have to worry about where you're going.
How is a labyrinth different from a maze? The goal in mazes is to find your way out. They build anxiety, frustration. A labyrinth, with its slow turns, is just the opposite—a single path to (and sometimes through) the center and back out. No dead ends. You walk to the center to get resolution and affirmation, then bring it back out into your life.
How do you create one? After surveying the sand, I use a four-inch rake to start drawing. The detail designer follows my lead, the head groomer fills in voids, and up to eight guest groomers do shading to make the paths pop.
When can I walk a labyrinth? About every other week, I'll be drawing at Face Rock wayside. [See onepath.us for dates.] Visitors take about 15 minutes to walk the full labyrinth, which can be anywhere from a quarter to half a mile.

This is where the gorgeous murciélago SV used to be. (look back in my gallery) Now there is this 458 Italia. Why? The SV needed to be checked due to a technical problem so it's now in Lamborghini Beirut.
But pending its return he just had to choose from one of his many cars in UAE and brought it here :)

Bible verses from the Jan. 12 page in Light for Each Day, Vol. 1:
The world in its current form is passing away.
For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
Based on His promise, we wait for the new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness will dwell.
1 Cor. 7:31, 2 Cor. 4:18, 2 Pet. 3:13, HCSB

Hidegen (hi-de-gen) was a labor of love ... and hostility ... which for several months was unlikely to be completed. I initially had only the blue concrete mixer pieces, wanting to spin off of franzhe's Space Police Piecemaker design, and a big Gatling gun I built, which had no home except its temporary one under the wing of a Bounty Hunter Assault Gunship.
Because of the concrete mixer pieces' color, Hidegen (formerly named ARV for Assault & Rescue Vehicle) was bound to be part of the blue & yellow ADU theme.
Eventually I decided the ship would also have a rear deck, and hoped I could make the intakes-to-exhausts wrap upward around and over the crew area. Due to more than a few limitations, I had to use thin engine piping in this middle area, but a plus outcome here was that I could then route hoses to powering the lower vertical lift turbofans.
In the end things worked out well with few drawbacks. While hard to find a top hold, Hidegen is swooshable when held from the bottom. The cockpit and interior spaces turned out to be tiny as always, but a minifig pilot can be seated and slid forward. And lastly due to gravity, the front intakes bend downward, outward, and then inward. I'm not sure of franzhe's mounting secrets, but regardless my attachment points were limited by the need for the Gatling weapon to be housed and able to rotate up, out, & below ... a key goal was underside full gun rotation (not pictured).
Like other ADU vehicles, Hidegen burns a whole lot of jet fuel to make up for human technology shortcomings in keeping up with threatening UFOs.
On its name, I wanted to get away from its initial ARV acronym, so the notion of a UFO being assaulted with a huge gun and grappled at high altitude, followed by human victims being safely rescued after such a terrifying operation, led to Hell & Heaven thinking. I tried some Hell & Heaven Latin efforts, but all along the Chumbawamba song Heaven Hell was on my mind. This track was inspired by a Chumbawamba and Ex song named Hidegen. Hidegen simply means coldly in Hungarian.
The photos within photos here touch on the frustratingly slow progress in getting this model done. :-)
Temporary TT scale (1:120) photo diorama. As in my 'Arriving at the tank' scene (see flic.kr/p/Kz3q73), I used a photo taken in Beijing's 751D-Park for the background. The steam engine is a Russian Ðм, I also used in other photo settings.
Ten years ago, the 2012 Olympic Games took place in Stratford in the East End of London. This week, to remember that great occasion I'm posting a number of photos taken over the course of the two weeks. Some are improved versions of shots already posted, but the majority are new images I've not previously shared with the public.
The Basketball Arena had 12,000 seats for Olympic basketball and the semi-finals and finals of the Olympic handball, and 10,000 for Paralympic wheelchair basketball and wheelchair rugby. Earlier, the arena had also used as a holding area for athletes during the Opening Ceremony. Concept designs by Wilkinson Eyre Architects were agreed in June 2008 and a planning application was submitted that November.
It was a temporary venue, and the largest built for any Games. The possibility of subsequently deconstructing the arena and transporting it to Rio de Janeiro for the 2016 Summer Olympics was discussed, though the plan was shelved due to doubts from some Brazilian officials about its feasibility.
Paisley-based Barr Construction began building the main arena in spring 2010, completing it in 15 months in June 2011. After the Stadium, I think it is the most iconic building on the Olympic Park.
There are a lot more of these than one would wish. These markers are meant to be temporary until a permanent monument can be placed, but for some the headstone never comes and the paper tag rots away.
Sea lions took over Sister City Park in Monterey, prompting temporary closures of the area for public safety and to protect the animals.
The California sea lion population in this area fluctuates during the year. Some mature animals migrate to southern California breeding grounds in late spring, and then return to Monterey Bay in the summer — often accompanied by more young animals from southern California.
Just got back to the hotel from supper, backed the car into the parking install, looked up and saw this. Grab the camera, held steady and got this before the light changed.

this dog followed us on our hike in the woods for a couple of hours, and then left us as we passed his house on our way back. He was a well behaved companion doing his own short escapes but always coming back close to us to check things out.
Being defeated is often a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent.

Some of my favorite re-ment pieces on the tv stand I made. The TV stand is a replica of the same one we're using at home. ^__^
London is a city located in Southwestern Ontario, Canada along the Quebec City–Windsor Corridor. The city has a population of 366,151 according to the 2011 Canadian census. London is at the confluence of the non-navigable Thames River, approximately halfway between Toronto, Ontario and Detroit, Michigan. The City of London is a separated municipality, politically separate from Middlesex County, though it remains the county seat.
London and the Thames were named in 1793 by Lord Simcoe, who proposed the site for the capital of Upper Canada. The first European settlement was between 1801 and 1804 by Peter Hagerman. The village was founded in 1826 and incorporated in 1855. Since then, London has grown to be the largest Southwestern Ontario municipality and Canada's 11th largest municipality, having annexed many of the smaller communities that surrounded it.
London is a regional centre of health care and education, being home to the University of Western Ontario, Fanshawe College, and several hospitals. The city hosts a number of musical and artistic exhibits and festivals, which contribute to its tourism industry, but its economic activity is centred on education, medical research, insurance, and information technology. London's university and hospitals are among its top ten employers. London lies at the junction of Highway 401 and 402, connecting it to Toronto, Windsor, and Sarnia. It also has an international airport, train and bus station.
London's economy is dominated by medical research, insurance, manufacturing, and information technology. Much of the life sciences and biotechnology-related research is conducted or supported by the University of Western Ontario, which adds about C$1.5 billion to the London economy annually.
The headquarters of the Canadian division of 3M are located in London. The London Life Insurance Company was founded there, as was Imperial Oil (in 1880) and both the Labatt and Carling breweries. The Libro Financial Group was founded in London 1951 and is the second largest credit union in Ontario. Canada Trust was also founded in London in 1864. The TD-Canada Trust tower is still one of the tallest buildings in London, and has been home to two nesting peregrine falcons for more than a decade.
General Dynamics Land Systems builds armoured personnel carriers in the city. There are 2,000 workers at GDLS Canada. A $223 million expansion project in 1984 temporarily made Kellogg's Canada's 106,000 m2 (1,140,000 sq ft) London plant one of the most technologically advanced manufacturing facilities in the Kellogg Company. In late 2013, Kellogg's announced the closure of this plant by end of 2014, resulting in 500 jobs lost (production to move to Belleville and Michigan plants).
A portion of the city's population work in factories outside of the city limits, including the General Motors automotive plant CAMI, and a Toyota plant in Woodstock.
The city is home to many festivals, funded by the London Arts Council, including Sunfest, the Home County Folk Festival, the London Fringe Theatre Festival, the Expressions in Chalk Street Painting Festival, Rock the Park, Western Fair, the London Ontario Live Arts Festival (LOLA) and The International Food Festival. The London Rib-Fest, where barbecue ribs are cooked and served, is the second largest barbecue rib festival in North America. Pride London Festival is the 11th largest Pride festival in Ontario. Sunfest, a World music festival, is the second biggest in Canada after Caribana in Toronto, and is among the top 100 summer destinations in North America.
Eldon House is the former residence of the prominent Harris Family and oldest surviving such building in London. The entire property was donated to the city of London in 1959 and is now a heritage site. An Ontario Historical Plaque was erected by the province to commemorate The Eldon House's role in Ontario's heritage. The Banting House National Historic Site of Canada is the house where Sir Frederick Banting thought of the idea that led to the discovery of insulin. Banting lived and practiced in London for ten months, from July 1920 to May 1921. London is also the site of the Flame of Hope, which is intended to burn until a cure for diabetes is discovered.
