Speeding on a long tail boat on the Chao Phraya River whilst the monarchy is watching. The magical reign of King Bhumibol ended on October 13, 2016. The king served as the symbol of Thai unity and stability and his departure has left a gigantic hole in the Thai political landscape. To the Thai people, the king meant everything. After his passing away the entire nation fell into a state of endless mourning and Thais were told to wear black for a year. His succesor Rama X does not enjoy the same love and respect from the public that his father commanded. He lacks moral authority and charisma; he has shown little to no enthusiasm for working with democratic institutions or being a democratic advocate and his eccentric and lavish lifestyle is legendary. Will the new king stir up a greater sense of anti-monarchy? If he trys to forge the same kind of mutually beneficial alliance with the military like his father that may very well be the case and his reign may not survive. On the other hand, if he decides to start working with the democratic government, placing the monarchical institution strictly within the constitutional framework, the chance of the monarchy becoming a viable institution is bright. Net-net, Thailand is standing at an important crossroad. Let’s hope for the best for this beautiful country and its friendly and generous people – Bangkok, Tailand.
Still working through my photo backlog. This was a model built for the Vignette Swap activity at BrickFair Virginia 2021.
Each vignette is placed inside a box with internal dimensions of 12 studs x 12 studs x (37 plates + 1 tile), and boxes are swapped among the players.
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.)
Had this golem build for a while, and I need to take it apart for the parts. I didn't have the time and mood to make a proper landscape so I just threw this crap together.
I decided to build something with the minifigure from new Batman Movie CMF series. I am not the biggest fan of this series but this one character is really nice. Whoever he is 😀
For the first contest of 2020 at www.imperiumdersteine.de I built this vignette showing the famous REBEL SCUM BAND.
A vignette from Lake Matheson, near Fox Glacier, New Zealand. Famous for its reflection views of the Southern Alps, including New Zealand's highest mountains, our visit was hampered by persistent light rain and fog and mist. Hence I turned my lens elsewhere.
Not my favorite way to edit a photograph, but it was today's challenge and I think it works well for this antique lamp.
Put two fat filters (the always present tranparent and then a polarizer) on the end of a zoom, then crank it wide. Wow, vignetting. Who woulda thunk it?
I went wide angle with my filter holder on for a massive vignette effect as an experiment.
Personally I quite like the result but I'd love to hear any other opinions on the effect. That's the moon in the sky and not a dust spot by the way!
I'm only about 60 views away from beating my record of most views in a day, but the day resets at 8:00 (on flickr) which is only 30 minutes away. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZIJhQwi9xA 139
This is just a small vignette, that I've made while waiting for the bricks for my next building series. I wanted to build something small to display my lions family, I got some time ago.

Wednesday's 6x6 vignette of the coffee spill was so fun, I just had to make another! This time around, it's my musician friend Synaptyx (Aaron Fimister). He specializes in synth-wave, and one of his tracks was featured in the My First Radio (’70s Edition) promo video.
You can listen to his work over on Soundcloud!
