A bike from the Lime Bike sharing company waits for a rider in front of the Waterfront Fountain. Lime Bikes can be ridden for 30 minutes for a $1.00 and dropped off anywhere in the city. Behind the fountain is the 175 foot tall Great Wheel which can be ridden for 20 minutes for $14.00.
The fountain was designed by James Fitzgerald. It is made of textured bronze and was constructed in 1974. It was a gift to the city by the designers family after his death.
A limited production variant of the Seraphim III/IV, the Strike Seraphim III/IV was created to be used by the UEF's special forces branch ECSO as well as other special operations groups. The ECSO were still using D-type Seraphim IIIs which were woefully inadequate come the Third Colony War. 150 Strike Seraphim III/IVs were built with a focus on firepower and maneuverability. Power output was increased over the standard Seraphim III/IV and the Strike was given a large amount of armaments allowing it to even take out a battleship single-handedly. In order to keep costs down components were taken from other Kampfers in service with the UEF such as modified hip binders from the refit R-type Seraphim III and modified grenade racks from the regular Seraphim III/IV.
Armaments include head-mounted CIW, shoulder-mounted missile pods (x2), a hyper-beam bazooka, wrist-mounted double-ended beam pick, melee bracer on one arm, chest-mounted beam particle cannon and a beam shotgun (stored on back).

Yussssss, variantssss strikeeee againnnnn
So I threw some kit onto the Seraphim III/IV and it looks pretty snazzy I think. Fins on the missile pods serve no function other than looking cool. Was thinking of ZZ Gundam for some reason. Hip binders are once again stolen straight off my R-type Seraphim III. I like the design, ok? XD
Think I got the lighting just right this time too. Might retake some of the photos I uploaded within the past 2 weeks now that I've got the lighting working again.
Will also take a photo of and upload a view of the back at some point. I thought the beam-shotgun design was kinda nifty but you can't see it at all here lol.
Still fits a fig with opening cockpit hatch as per norm.
Hello everyone! I hope you are all having a great start to your weekend & an amazing last day of 2022! Today I will be sharing the third set of photos of an interior design project that we have recently completed. For this project, we were commissioned to design the entire interior of the home, as well as the patios and balconies. Any landscaping details that you see in this and upcoming photos of this project, have been completed by the landscapers that are employed by the community that our client lives in.
In the first photo, you are getting a look at what may be my favourite room of this project, the kitchen! For this space, we created a ton of custom elements, which really help distinguish this kitchen from all the others that have been installed in this model of home. To start, we created a custom mesh wooden surround, which helps enclose all cabinetry and appliances, such as the wine fridges on the left hand side of the photo. We’ve also created a custom glass door fridge, along with custom glass door cabinetry on each side of the range, in a beautiful tinted black finish. These details help break up the heavy usage of wood and stones in this space, providing a nice contrast of a more delicate material.
In the second photo, you are getting a peak into the breakfast area, which is adjacent to the kitchen. This is a much more intimate space than the dining room, which I showcased in my previous post, due to the space being smaller overall and having a lesser seating capacity. As you can see, we stuck with our client's directive, using lots of beige, cream and white tones, with graphite and black accents to provide a grounding effect.
As always, the team & I thank you so much for following us along our design journey & supporting The Design Firm! You support is what keeps us going <3
Lastly, I always recommend viewing my photos in full screen mode when able! This allows you to see the true depth and detail of the spaces that my colleagues and I create for our clients.

Arriving back on the Lauterbrunnen side of the mountain the light was just beautiful and I could've stopped and stayed to photograph all evening. With a fair hike still left to do, I settled with exposing a good half roll of film. I love the way the mountains disappear softly into the distance in the first and third images and the tiny little paraglider just caps things off. Oh to see the world from on high.

Charlie made her way down the third floor corridor in the castle humming to herself, she spotted Logan among the crowd and grinned making her way over to him. Her arm extended in midair to tap his shoulder but before her finger touched him she paused coming up with a better idea. Instead she drew her wand and flicked it. A startled yell came from his lips as he was yanked into the air by his ankles. Charlie burst into a fit of laughter clutching her sides.
“Really Merle...” came Logan’s exasperated voice “this is getting a bit old”

St. Paul the Apostle is a very revered saint in the Sicilian town of Palazzolo Acreide, the feast in his honor is celebrated on two occasions (very important periods if referring to peasant civilization), on 29 June (the day I took this photo story this year 2025) date of his martyrdom, and January 25, the date of his conversion to Christianity. The "summer party" of June 29, begins with a particular collection of donut-shaped bread (in Sicilian called "cuddura"), donated by the villagers and collected on a cart, this is the "round of bread", these loaves (called "di San Paolo") have decorations that recall snakes: the reference is always to San Paolo, considered the protector from the poisonous bites of vipers, this is the ancestral legacy of an ancient peasant civilization, the wheat harvest period that coincides with the feast, it makes working in sunburnt fields particularly dangerous; once there were characters to whom supernatural gifts were attributed, they were called "ciarauli", capable of protecting from the venomous bites of the viper (This year, a very nice man of Palazzolo Acreide, who was also present last year, was present at the feast to recall these ancient figures. Instead of little snakes, as was once the custom, he had with him a very calm python, also because it was full). The procession takes the name of "sciuta", with reference to the "exit" from the basilica of San Paolo of two floats, first the float comes out with the relic of the saint, carried on the shoulders by the devotees, immediately after, at 13.00 o'clock the exit of the float takes place with the ancient statue of Saint Paul holding a sword in his hand (the iconography represents him with the sword for two reasons, he was beheaded with a sword stroke, and because he, referring to the word of God, defined it more effective and sharper than a double-bladed sword), at this point they begin among the most spectacular and evocative pyrotechnic games that I have ever seen, we witness a phantasmagoric and kaleidoscopic explosion of colors made with enormous colored confetti and with colored ribbons about two meters long called 'nzareddi, which recall the shape and movement of snakes. During the procession we witness the rite of children who, often completely naked, are taken by their parents by the expert hands of two devotees present on the float, they are thus placed in front of St. Paul to ask for his intercession and protection, sometimes these children are adorned with paper money, in fact, the donation of money is part of the rites that accompany the procession. Among these rites is the vow of the "bare shoulder" made by devout bearers, and that of women who walk barefoot by vow. The procession with the two floats then arrives, as a sign of devotion, in the church of the Annunziata.
San Paolo Apostolo è un santo molto venerato nel paese siciliano di Palazzolo Acreide, la festa in suo onore viene celebrata in due occasioni (periodi molto importanti se riferiti alla civiltà contadina), il 29 giugno (giorno in cui ho realizzato quest’anno 2025 questo foto-racconto) data del suo martirio, ed il 25 gennaio, data della sua conversione al cristianesimo. La “festa estiva” del 29 giugno, inizia con una particolare raccolta di pane a forma di ciambella (in siciliano detta “cuddura”), donato dai paesani e raccolto su di un carretto, questo è il “giro del pane”, questi pani (detti “di San Paolo”) presentano delle decorazioni che richiamano i serpenti: il riferimento è sempre a San Paolo, ritenuto il protettore dai morsi velenosi delle vipere, questo è il retaggio ancestrale di un’antica civiltà contadina, il periodo della mietitura che coincide con la festa, rende particolarmente pericoloso il lavoro nei campi arsi dal sole; una volta esistevano dei personaggi a cui si attribuivano doti sovrannaturali, erano chiamati “ciarauli”, capaci di proteggere dai morsi velenosi della vipera (quest’anno era presente nella festa, a rievocare queste antiche figure, un simpaticissimo Palazzolese, presente anche l'anno scorso, che al posto delle bisce, come si usava una volta, aveva con se un docilissimo pitone, anche perchè satollo). La processione prende il nome di “sciuta”, con riferimento alla “uscita” dalla basilica di San Paolo di due vare, dapprima esce la vara con la reliquia del santo, portata in spalla dai devoti, subito dopo, alle 13,00 in punto avviene l’uscita della vara con l’antica statua di San Paolo che stringe una spada in pugno (l’iconografia lo rappresenta con la spada per due motivi, egli fu decapitato con un colpo di spada, e perché egli, riferendosi alla parola di Dio, la definiva più efficace e più tagliente di una spada a doppia lama), a questo punto iniziano tra i più spettacolari e suggestivi giochi pirotecnici che io che io abbia mai visto, si assiste ad una fantasmagorica e caleidoscopica esplosione di colori realizzati con enormi coriandoli colorati e con dei nastri colorati lunghi circa due metri chiamati ‘nzareddi, che richiamano la forma ed il movimento dei serpenti. Durante la processione si assiste al rito dei bambini che, molto spesso completamente nudi, vengono presi dai genitori dalle esperte mani di due devoti presenti sulla vara, vengono così messi al cospetto di San Paolo a chiederne la sua intercessione e protezione, a volte questi bimbi sono adornati con della carta moneta, infatti la donazione di denaro fa parte dei riti che accompagnano la processione. Tra questi riti c’è il voto della “spalla nuda” fatto dai devoti portatori, e quello delle donne che per voto camminano scalze. La processione con le due vare giunge poi, in segno di devozione, nella chiesa dell’Annunziata.

For July's Monthly Scavenger Hunt.
Stormtroopers and helmets, they're like women and shoes. You can never have enough.
I was out on a prairie lake with the Coyotes howling at the northern lights. I was using my Rokinon 14mm lens but the EXIF shows a different lens., the settings are 14mm at f2.8. At this point a new pulse of electrons had come in and the structure changed to a bright ribbon with shards overhead remember this is with a 14mm lens the 180 degree Northern sky is all glowing!
The aurora charges from the right or Northeast and flows to the left the Northwest. I spent some time trying to capture this movement:) The moon was adding the light to the foreground but there is still a reflection.
A snowy taking off for the kill. Not the best wing positioning for an image, but look at those talons!
Another Friday and another B&H trip out for a pair of Grids! Here 56103 & 56301 storm past Edington with empty aggregates train 6Z60 1034 Willesden DC Rail Sidings to Merehead Quarry..
The jaguar is the most elusive animal of the Pantanal and the third largest big cat following the Lion and Tiger.
Jaguars are most similar in appearance to leopards, but there’s nothing you can confuse them with in the wild, as no other big cats live in South America. Cougars are technically not big cats but are a similar size to leopards, but they don’t have spots and jaguars are far more powerfully built.
The most distinctive feature of the jaguar is the shape of their spots. The spots resemble roses, and as such are known as rosettes. While leopards also have somewhat similar rosettes, the key difference is that jaguars’ rosettes have spots inside them, whereas leopards’ rosettes don’t.
3rd hand needed here.... :) Straight out of cam shot at a lake in my hood.

The first A321neoLR prototype, D-AVZO MSN 7877, seen landing in splendid golden sunset light Toulouse at the end of its third test flight in the testing and certification campaign.
This is the first prototype of the new, Long Range variant of the A321neo, equipped with more powerful engines (two CFM LEAP-1A33 turbofan engines) and an extra central fuel tank, so it can fly transatlantic routes. The message on the fuselage is: "Unbeatable fuel efficiency now flying long range", reflecting the drawing of an arc linking Paris and New York. Also note the 'bandit' black band on the cockpit windows.
Also, this is the first aircraft to feature the ACF (Airbus Cabin Flex) cabin, which will become standard on A321neo production. This “Cabin-Flex” option increases the jetliner’s maximum certified capacity to 240 (250) seats. The main changes are the removal of Pax-Door 2 and addition of 2 new over-wing emergency exits. Pax-Door 3 can be removed and plugged, as well as one or both the over-wing exits. Thus the customer can arrange the cabin for high-density or long-range operations.
