Ever since I watched Jaws 3D as a kid I've had a special love for 3D. Especially the clunkier earlier format with the image split into red and blue versions with the throwaway cardboard glasses with matching coloured eye filters. Apparently this works by means of encoding each eye's image using the filters of chromatically opposite colors. When viewed through the 3D glasses, each of the two images reaches the eye it's intended for, revealing an integrated stereoscopic image. The visual cortex of the brain then fuses this into the perception of a 3D scene. Aren't our brains clever? I've even got a 3D tattoo. So there.
This canvas isn't in the best of shape so I'm thinking she'll make it to the streets some time soon. She can lead a new life with someone else...

My third entry into CCC XIV, for the Traveling Salesman category. Credit for the star design over the throne goes to Disco86.
One of the main things I wanted to include in this build was the awning over the king’s seat, as it is historically accurate, and something I haven’t seen done much in LEGO. The balcony area and floor were perhaps the funnest parts to build however.

as in honestly doc, I wasn't snorkelling.. I'd left the camera/underwater housing, mask and fins at home so I wouldn't be tempted but it was very hot and so I went for a paddle.
I saw quite a number of species including a big eel and these tiny blue fish.

Third Day
Oh Immaculate Heart of Mary, Mother of Jesus and Our Mother, we pray and we hope that the promise made by you at Fatima will soon be realized. Our kirk and kin made the supreme sacrifice, and our loved ones languished in the horror and hardships that came upon a world at war. We know that it is your ardent wish and desire that there be peace in the world, and it is only through reparation to your Immaculate Heart that such can be accomplished. You have told us your wish in the message of Fatima: Reparation through the Rosary and the practice of First Saturdays. We beg of you, Oh Mary immaculate, that through your pleadings, our prayers and example may show the world the road to the true peace which the world itself cannot give. Bless, we beseech thee, our country, and inspire us and our leaders to receive, understand, and promote that glorious message delivered by you at Fatima.
Our Lady of Fatima, Queen of Peace, inflame our hearts with the love of Reparation.

"Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

With her roots spread throughout the tavern, Willow serves as both surveillance and primary manager of the ship's systems. To the left are the Druid's quarters and a small shrine to Solissian the Splendorous. The tower contains a map room, and the ladder leads to the observatory and water tower. Also on the deck is a powerful auto-ballista.

Today i went to get inked for the second time. This is my third tattoo, a kind of belated b-day present from me to me :)
What people say is true, when you first get a tattoo you want another and another...
If i could i would like to have 6 in total... But it will need time and money!!

Yet another variation in Harlequin markings, this one doesn't even have the characteristic 'M/W marking on the pronotum. However the keel is evident, so I'm confident.
This photo above features the 1934 Yarmouth Gateways baseball team, which was an amateur team based in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada. The team had a successful season, winning the Nova Scotia Amateur Baseball Championship for the third time in 1934. They were known for their "slick play and the ability to make a few hits go a long way". That same year, the neighboring team from Saint John, New Brunswick, the Kiwanis, beat the Yarmouth Gateways for their fourth Maritime Championship.

The Yarmouth Gateways were a dominant force in Nova Scotia and Maritime amateur baseball throughout the 1930s. The team was a source of great local pride and attracted large crowds to their games at the William Street ballpark.
The Yarmouth Gateways were a prominent baseball team in Nova Scotia, known for their success in the 1920s and 1930s. They won the provincial championship five times and the Maritime championship twice during their nine-season run from 1929 to 1937. Notable players from this era include Copie LeBlanc, who was part of the team that faced the Boston Braves in an exhibition game in 1935.
Key Achievements and Information: Provincial and Maritime Championships: The Gateways were Nova Scotia provincial champions five times between 1929 and 1937. They also won the Maritime Championship twice, including in 1935 when they defeated the St. Stephen Milltown Kiwanis.
Playing Style: The team was known for their effective "slick play" and ability to "make a few hits go a long way," utilizing strategies like squeeze bunts and base stealing.
Notable Opponents: They competed against strong teams like the St. Stephen Kiwanis. In 1935, they played an exhibition game against the Boston Braves, marking the first time a major league team played in Nova Scotia. The Gateways also played touring Black baseball teams such as the Boston Royal Giants and Philadelphia Giants, and Yarmouth's town league sometimes featured both Black and white players on the same team.
The Gateways capped the 1935 season with an exhibition game, which saw the Boston Braves visit Yarmouth for the first-ever appearance of a major league team on a Nova Scotia diamond. The Braves of the National League knocked 21 hits around the William Street ball field and humbled the Gateways 20-2. Still, the Braves deemed the Gateways a worthy opponent to make the trip to Yarmouth. LINK to a photo of the program - www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10159491095566856&set=pc...
Team Members: Key members of the 1935 team included players like Edgar Amirault, Nate Bain, Prescott "Bis" Boyd, and others. Pitcher Nate Bain's signed ball from the Boston Braves exhibition game is reportedly in the Nova Scotia Sport Hall of Fame.
The Yarmouth Gateways senior teams from 1929-1937 were inducted into the Yarmouth area's sports Hall of Fame in 1998.
Unfortunately, a definitive, confirmed roster specifically for the 1934 Yarmouth Gateways team is not available in the search results.
Information is available for the 1935 team, which likely included many of the same players as the 1934 team. The 1935 team members included:

Benedict D'Eon
Russell Doucette
Ernie Grimshaw (captain)
Berwyn Goudey

Current Status: The site of the original ballpark is now known as Gateway Park. It is maintained by Yarmouth Recreation and is still used for senior/oldtimers baseball, although the primary field for the current Yarmouth Gateways senior team is now Veterans Field at Broadbrook Park.

It is said that blondes have more fun, but do they achieve less success too? ;-)
Nah. :-)
At the summit of Mount Lee.
The landscape is nice and green from the recent record rains.
The Hollywood Sign (formerly the Hollywoodland Sign) is a landmark and American cultural icon located in Los Angeles, California. It is situated on Mount Lee, in the Hollywood Hills area of the Santa Monica Mountains. The sign overlooks Hollywood, Los Angeles.
"HOLLYWOOD" is spelled out in 45-foot (13.7 m)-tall white capital letters and is 350 feet (106.7 m) long. It was originally created in 1923 as an advertisement for a local real estate development, but it garnered increasing recognition after the sign was left up. The sign was a frequent target of pranks and vandalism, but it has since undergone restoration, including the installation of a security system to deter vandalism. The sign is protected and promoted by The Trust For Public Land, a nonprofit organization, while its site and the surrounding land are part of Griffith Park.
The sign was erected in 1923 and originally read "HOLLYWOODLAND." Its purpose was to advertise the name of a new segregated housing development in the hills above the Hollywood district of Los Angeles.
The sign was officially dedicated in 1923. It was intended only to last a year and a half, but after the rise of American cinema in Los Angeles during the Golden Age of Hollywood, the sign became an internationally recognized symbol and was left there.
In 1949, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce began a contract with the City of Los Angeles Parks Department to repair and rebuild the sign. The contract stipulated that "LAND" be removed to spell "Hollywood" and reflect the district, not the "Hollywoodland" housing development. The Parks Department dictated that all subsequent illumination would be at the Chamber's expense, so the Chamber opted not to replace the lightbulbs. The 1949 effort gave it new life, but the sign's unprotected wood and sheet metal structure continued to deteriorate. By the 1970s, the first O had splintered and broken, resembling a lowercase u, and the third O had fallen down completely, leaving the severely dilapidated sign reading "HuLLYWO D."
In 1978, in large part because of the public campaign to restore the landmark by Hugh Hefner, founder of Playboy magazine, the Chamber set out to replace the severely deteriorated sign with a more permanent structure. Nine donors gave US$27,777.77 each (totaling US$249,999.93) to sponsor replacement letters, made of steel supported by steel columns on a concrete foundation.
