Vignette a small illustration or portrait photograph which fades into its background without a definite border.
119 hustles north through Palgrave with the early morning shadows and thin April ice creating a natural vignette of sorts, while a clean 8781 (the “Saint John Express”) provides a nice focal point for the image.
As a fun aside, the crew on the southbound waiting in the siding here asked "is there a party going on up there??", to which 119's crew was initially confused, and then eventually figured out it was because the front door was unknowingly wide open and had a good laugh about it - MP 30 Mactier Sub.
Dec 23. Like how one can only see the merest hint of the cyclist in his blue hooded thanks to the fine rim lighting from the over head lamp. Right place, right time and a bit of persistence thrown in for good measure
Nov 23. I like the way the street lamps play with the colours of the wall (and the temperature balance of the image) bringing a sense of unease to the image. I was grateful to the man stopping in that exact spot engrossed in his phone message also as I stood in the shadow, He compliments the painted man so well. As for me does the warn window light and the double yellow parking lines
A lioness shows intense interest in something I cannot see. Photographed in Knowsley Safari Park through my firmly closed car window. I suspect that those claws could smash car windows anyway. The free running rhinos are even scarier.
Early morning Blackpool, June 24. I had to taken a shot on my way in the street earlier in the morning, but when I returned there was a crow sunning himself on the bracket, thus after a little patience until he turned to give a profile I captured this second and I think more interesting image with another element of interest
Did you know that walking your pet for 30 minutes every day can improve your life expectancy as well as other health benefits?
This was built for the Collectible Minifigure Building contest on Eurobricks. I chose to make a tower for the Fairytale Princess from Series 12. The small octagonal tower was a challenging build, but I’m quite pleased with the result. A tutorial for that, is in the works.

Located in the heart of Trieste is the ancient Teatro Romano.
Dating back to the 1st Century AD it was built by Quintus Petronius Modestus, a statesman during the reign of Emperor Trajan.
The theatre could accommodate up to 3,500 spectators, and was built almost entirely of masonry, except for the stage, that was made of wood.
Over the centuries, the theater was increasingly hidden by houses and other buildings built over it. Considered lost, it was rediscovered in 1814 by the architect Pietro Nobile, but only in 1938 it was brought back to light, during the demolition of part of the old city.
The next MOC of the Indiana Jones vignette series, this scene shows Indy freeing the slaves and defeating quite a formidable Thuggee foe. This MOC incorporates quite a few unconventional building techniques for me as it serves as an experiment in rock-work and different aspects of Photoshop editing on iPhone.
HP builders... thank you for the inspiration.
Man staring out of window in the city center of Beaune. Beaune is the unoffical touristic capital of Côte D'Or. The town’s raison d'être and source of its joie de vivre is wine: making it, tasting it, selling it, but most of all, drinking it – Beaune, Bourgogne, France.
Recently, I helped out with a series of vignettes based on the new Ninjago Movie minifig series for Brick Fanatics. It was a fun project, and I got to work with some other great builders, such as frequent collaborator Daniel Konstanski.
the yellow road marking, the blue rope and the unusual placement of the trolley with the ladder on top caught my eye
Vignette measures 12X12 studs overall including the border. This build took me a couple hours because i had some free time. so yeah, I have a lot of WIP's, just need to find time and energy to finish those :)

sry for the bad resolution, somehow the editing tool made some glitch art and grainy pics out of the photos I took BUT I rescued this one

This shop is a relatively new discovery for me. We buy Shizandra's raw food from here. I simply love photographing this little vignette outside the store.
This Spring I held a Lego building class for kids at a local school over a couple of months. Of course, I taught them to build trees :D but the classes they enjoyed the most were the interior design ones.
This kitchen vignette was one of the builds that we built together. It was fun to see them put their own touches on their builds, adding different colors and items to it - sometimes a bit over the top ;)
Nothing really ground-breaking going on here. Focus was more on details and composition.
Hope you like it :)
My little LEGO vignette of the medieval Old Town of Regensburg, Germany, a UNESCO World Heritage site. I built this for the 12x12 category of Brickscalibur inspired by a recent trip to the city. It is akin to a skyline model but in a more crammed 2-dimensional layout. Thus it's not an actual reproduction of the city's layout rather than an agglomeration of various points of interest, specifically:
• The Old Town Hall with its high tower and the adjacent Imperial Diet Hall where the Imperial Diet of the Holy Roman Empire assembled.
• St. Peter's Cathedral as one of the most significant Gothic cathedrals in Germany.
• The Baroque Justitia Fountain bearing a sculpture of Lady Justice.
• The Stone Bridge across the Danube as a milestone of medieval bridge architecture and oldest existing bridge in Germany.
• The Bridge Tower as the remaining one of once 3 guard towers along the Stone Bridge.
• The Salzstadel and Amberger Stadel as historic salt storages next to the Bridge Tower.
• The Historic Sausage Kitchen as probably the oldest continuously open public restaurant in the world.
Due to its small size the model doesn't really make any pretense of accurate proportions or a consistent overall scale. It is to be understood more as an homage than an accurate reproduction.
Building instructions and further details can be found on Rebrickable.
(With regards to the Brickscalibur contest, I acknowledge that not all the buildings might fit exactly into the required period of ~500-1500, but each of them could have existed at this time if it was a more generic city and the model nonetheless has a rather medieval core idea.)
Trinidad is one of a kind, a perfectly preserved Spanish colonial settlement where the clocks stopped in 1850 and have yet to restart. Huge sugar fortunes amassed in the nearby Valle de los Ingenios during the early 19th century created the illustrious colonial-style mansions bedecked with Italian frescoes, Wedgwood china and French chandeliers - Trinidad, Cuba
