because I don't save and Oripa hates me :V
this was the first attempt I believe, of my journey of attempting to draw up the scaled wyvern cp with oripa.
While this is just the old one without the scaled tail (its mostly correct I think), all subsequent attempts have been of the one with the scaled tail.
I think I've lost it maybe 6 times now? most of the way through each time as well.
I'm not sure I even want to try again :I its just going to kill all my work one way or another.
This owl was perched next to me (perhaps just a little too close) - it's a shame that he wasn't looking at me but I just love the detail in the feathers.
This is a beautiful picture of me and my pillow-stealing bitch cat.
lol made explore. What the fuck, you guys.

This is my answer for the challenge in Get Pushed Round 15 that I got from Skippys1229
Chris has a photostream with fantastic macro shots and beautiful nature shots and lots more. Go check it out.
Here is what he wrote to me : " The month of December seems to bring two types of themes to mind. The first is "celebration" with all the holiday festivities leading up to Christmas and New Year's. The second is "reflection" as there are many year-in-review lists that go over certain important events that happened during the year. I would like to see something that expresses these two themes. The subject can be whatever you choose. Also, you can either have them expressed in the same shot, or you can frame it as a diptych."
This one got me thinking a lot! And that's good of course :)
I've been trying out the diptyching since this push was sent my way a lot with a tool I mostly operate from my Ipad. The app is called Diptic. It works very well I think. I can take my Nikon shots into the photostream and so forth. These photos I've also done a bit of processing on in Picnik.
Now for the presentation that I have chosen. The photo to the left is a snow flake ornament in my parents' Christmas tree (Celebration) and the shot to the right is from the sea close to my parents house (Reflection). Since when I look back on 2011 what comes to my mind the most are all the threats to nature and the meeting that took place in Durban, South Africa - unfccc.int/meetings/durban_nov_2011/meeting/6245.php this november/december. Unfortunately it seems hard for the world to come to good solutions.
The climate changes are very present! This summer has been the rainiest and 'coldest' I can remember and this winter so far the 'warmest'. No snow here yet! Last year we had snow for almost 6 months!
The sea in the picture, I read yesterday, is short on oxygen! Which means that 'things' that live there cannot survive... I can only hope and try to do some of my share to save the Earth we've been given.
Happy New Year everyone!
Get Pushed group admins and all other members I'm thankful to you. This group is lots of fun :)
Carved into a stone (beyond an apparent ball of string wedged between two trees), "This museum ..." is the start of Sanctuary, a memorial to a former director of the Fuller Craft Museum. It continues down to a nearby pond and offers a quiet place to reflect and enjoy nature.
This freeze made of snow (pardon the pun) tells of a famous folk tale from Finland. It's part of the Snow World exhibition on Sun Island in Harbin, Heilongjiang in the north east of China.
Harbin (哈尔滨), is the capital of the Heilongjiang Province in Northeast China. It lies on the southern bank of the Songhua River. Harbin is the tenth largest city in China, serving as a key political, economic, scientific, cultural and communications hub in Northeastern China. Harbin is originally a Manchu word meaning "a place for drying fishing nets". Harbin bears the nicknames "The Pearl on the swan's neck" because the shape of Heilongjiang resembles a swan, and "Ice City" for its long and cold winter. This city is most famous for its beautiful display of ice sculptures in winter and is known as China’s gateway to trade with Russia. In the 1920s, Harbin was considered China's fashion capital as new designs from Paris and Moscow reached there first before arriving in Shanghai. Harbin is also a potential candidate for the 2022 Winter Olympics.

This looks like a serial killer's basement to me. I'm happy to report it's a scene from a coal mine (under filtration).

This is an image I submitted for World Wet Plate Day, a celebration of the gift from Frederick Scott Archer, the inventor of Wet Plate collodion. He gave the world this process and died without the recognition he deserved...

This photo shows the caterpillar's skin being shed for the last time, revealing the still very soft, beautiful jade green chrysalis. The process of shedding its skin is now nearly complete. Its wriggling now becomes very energetic until the skin finally becomes dislodged and discarded.

This morning was super rainy and I found this little lady swimming down the drain. Isn't she a cutie?
Taken for ODC: Heads or Tail?
This bus is one of 7 identical 2017 IC CE’s currently owned by the district. The bus replaced a 1998 Crown by Carpenter handy bus once owned by the district
Wow, this is awkward. Um. There's coffee in the kitchen if you want some. So... I have a pretty big day ahead of me... Um... Yeah.
I heard this phrase most recently on You Look Nice Today www.youlooknicetoday.com in the Who Voted? episode.
Raw Orange. (D)
The XY Falcon was built from Oct 1970- March 1972, the XY got a new divided plastic grille and revised tail lights. The GT, featured the famous 'shaker' that protruded through the bonnet. Mechanically the XY was very similar to the XW
An HO version was also available, with front spoiler, the old Phase 2 engine was carried over from the XW which had 750 cfm carb, solid camshaft, lifters, bigger pushrods.
From May 1971 to Nov 1971, 300 Phase 3 GTHOs were made, they got extractors, 780cfm carb, a revised camshaft and harmonic balancer producing 380bhp, 3 diff ratios were available to choose from.
Allan Moffat won the Hardie Ferodo 500 again in 1971, this time in a XY GTHO Phase III.
Engine; 300hp 351 cu in Cleveland (Phase III; 350-380hp)
1557 XY GTs and 300 XY GTHOs were made, 19 GTs and 8 HOs exported to NZ.
Only 2 made in Raw Orange
This shot was taken by Nikon D850 totally under Moonlight. This shows the dimension and Dynamic Range of the D850 can capture and then later let the photographer extract the details from it.
This is a different version of a previously posted image. This has an actual watercolor sky blended with the photograph.
This is the absolute limit of how close mainline trains get to the Garw and Ogmore valleys these days.
The OVE (Ogmore Valley Extension) line stretches from Tondu station to Margam Knuckle yard and is a diversionary freight line used only very occasionally when there is work being carried out on the mainline between Port Talbot and Bridgend. When trains use this diversion they have to reverse direction at Tondu in order to Proceed through Bridgend and this is achieved by using the double tracked Garw loop to perform a "run round" where the locomotive is detached from one end of the train and moved to the opposite end and reattached.
The Garw loop is the last active portion of the line that once split at Brynmenyn station and connected the Garw and Ogmore Valleys to the mainline. The line to the Garw is relatively intact all the way to Pontycymer but is currently overgrown and derelict after the loop. The line to the Ogmore valley has been lifted but the route still exists as a cycle path that follows the original track bed all the way to Nantymoel.
The future of the OVE line looks uncertain as there is talk of the bridge which carries it over the mainline in Margam being demolished when the mainline is electrified thus rendering the OVE line useless.
I think I would like to restart this project, and I think this is the opportune time to do it. I never really meant to abandon it, but I just ran out of time while I was in the Philippines. I don't think that matters, really - I wrote enormous journal entries every day (I had to... although I didn't have to make them 1600+ words, haha, which is how long some were) and took a ton of photos anyway. I think I've covered that particular period of my life rather well :)
Today was the first day of my second Walkabout... just call it an internship if you want to - this one is a pretty traditional one. Four days a week I'll be going to the statehouse in Columbus and working with a reporter there. He does segments for Ohio Public Radio and sometimes for NPR as well (we did a 50-second segment on foreclosures for them today... a statistic that I tracked down was broadcast nationally!)
I sat in on a meeting with the governor, treasurer, and some other high-ups... I also got to do some sound editing and basically just learned a ton. It's not as exciting as the Philippines, but I think I'll enjoy it. Transportation is a little iffy - my dad's giving me a ride down to OSU's campus in the morning and I catch a bus from there to the statehouse, then do the same in the afternoon. But I like wandering around campus in the afternoon - I can pop into the arts center and just kind of enjoy being outside - and it's kind of funny to totally blend in with the student population there but SECRETLY NOT BE ONE OF THEM! hahaha.
I also really like being in the city. The suburbs feel eerily dead to me now.
That's my moleskine up there, which is my new little friend for government meeting note-taking. I have to dress up for "work," now, too, which is rather different than what I was doing before. The anchor earrings are from Bangkok, though, and it's nice to feel like I'm bringing a (tangible) part of that with me.
It's hard to see how much you've changed when you just examine your present state, since change is gradual. But I know I'm a different person now - when I think about the time before I left, back in January, it feels like years have passed.
This is the w/b AEPML-10, which was due to arrive at Mira Loma, CA much sooner, and with four Ferromex units, but I guess one of the three GE techo-toasters had a traction motor fire and it was set-out in AZ. Good for me, as I wouldn't have got this shot if it had been on time, and "three amigos" is fine with me.
This is a pretty large plush chimpanzee buried under a fallen tree. The log container is that reddish orange thing stuck firmly in its hand. This was pretty gruesome actually. It has a banana in the other hand.
This devotee carried a small aluminium cup that he filled with the water from the Ganges river and poured back into the river as he uttered prayer and washed himself.
