Slated for demolition, this house has been painted from the roof tiles to the ground floor. It seems the leaf avoided "the treatment".

The protest on the Liberty Square has started on February, 09 and is still on.
The monument that Fidesz government intends to build in the middle of the square is considered to be a rude and undisguised revision of history and an offense to memory of those who died in Holocaust. The Jewish community of Budapest is boycotting the commemoration of 70th anniversary of the Hungarian Holocaust which has place this year.
The statue depicts Hungary as Archangel Gabriel, completely powerless, being attacked by the German eagle. It will be very big - 7 meters tall, and the spread of the eagle’s wings will be 4.5 meters wide. This is an unacceptable interpretation of the facts and falsification of entire history.
Hungary was an ally of Germany, and it was a legitimate Hungarian government that handled the deportation of about 600,000 Hungarian citizens of Jewish and Roma origin. Not without reason, critics of the whole idea of the monument suspect that the Orbán government wants to shake off any responsibility for the Holocaust and to shift the blame entirely to Germany.
The government has stopped the construction of the monument before elections in May and promised to start a dialogue with citizens, but right after elections they have restarted the construction without consulting with Budapest community.
In the first weeks of the protest the police tried to remove people forcefully.
The best known demonstrators who were taken away by police are Imre Mécs - a hero of the revolution of 1956 (he is a former member of parliament who was sentenced to death as a result of his participation in the 1956 revolution) and his wife Fruzsina Magyar, a well-known dramaturgist.
Many other famous Hungarians took part in the protest. On June 21th, the famous Hungarian musician and director Adam Fischer conducted the performance of the hymn of Europe - Beethoven's "Ode to Joy". He noted that initially Beethoven wrote it as the "Ode to Freedom", but the because of censorship of those times he had to call it "Ode to Joy". "Let's sing about joy, but think about freedom," - Adam Fischer said.

One of the buildings in downtown Peoria that is empty. The nice thing about this one is that the windows were boarded up to prevent vandalism and the whole structure was painted white. It certainly looks better than many of the other buildings in that area.
Six thousand logs have been Whitewashed by hand,ready for visual merchandising within a stylish High Street store - throughout the UK.
The kit and its assembly:
A remake of an inspiration. This build is a follow-up, and a further interpretation of another modeler’s idea, comrade harps from whatifmodelers.com, who came up with a Moldovan Bf 109E and a respective background story some time ago. After all, the Russian Liberation Army (ROA) also operated German aircraft like the Bf 109G, so the idea was not as weird as it might seem at first. I liked the idea of an overlooked Moldovan operator very much, and my first build within this fictional framework was a Heller Bf 109 F trop (a horrible kit, BTW).
This time I wanted to tackle an early Fw 190 A fighter, and also finish it in winter camouflage. The kit I used is the Academy Fw 190 A-6/8 model. It is certainly not the most detailed and up-to-date model of the aircraft, but it is a solid model, goes together well and is IMHO a priceworthy offering.
Building-wise, I did not change much about the kit, it was built OOB with some minor mods. The pitot, OOB mounted close to the wing tip for an A-8 version, had to be relocated towards a mid-wing position for an earlier A-6 variant. As an extra I lowered the flaps and cut away the lower sections from the wheel covers; this was a common practice on Fw 190s operated at the Eastern front during wintertime, because snow would clog up between the wheels and the covers, freeze and eventually make the aircraft inoperable.
As another extra I used the WB 151 gun packs which come with the kit – resulting in the massive firepower of eight(!) 20mm cannon, plus a pair of machine guns that would operationally fire tracer bullets, so that the pilot knew when he could unleash the cannons! The optional tropical sand filters came with the kit, too.
Painting and markings:
To a certain degree quite conservative, since this was supposed to be a former Luftwaffe aircraft, transferred to the Moldovan air force from the Mediterranean TO. As such I gave the aircraft a standard Luftwaffe camouflage with RLM 74/75/76 (using a mix of Modelmaster enamels). As a side note, this does not speak against the aircraft’s potential former use in North Africa – many Fw 190s operated there did not carry any desert camouflage at all.
However, I wanted to present the aircraft in a temporary/worn winter camouflage on the upper surfaces with washable white paint, overpainted former Luftwaffe insignia and additional new Moldovan markings. I also wanted to visualize the short period of time between the aircraft’s arrival at the Russian Front from Northern Africa and its immediate employment in Moldovan hands, including tactical markings of the Axis forces in the Eastern TO from around late 1941 onwards. Sounds complicated – but it’s the logical translation of the made-up background, and I think that such a concept, literally telling a story, makes a what-if model more convincing than just putting some obscure markings on an off-the-rack kit.
After the original German scheme had been painted, the next step was to paint over the former German and African TO markings. I used a light olive green and a light blue tone, as if the machine had been modified in a Moldovan field workshop with Romanian paints (or whatever else) at hand. The new yellow ID markings (lower wing tips, engine front (both painted with Humbrol 69) and fuselage band (decal) were added at this stage, too. Then came a black ink wash, emphasizing the model's engraved panel lines.
Once dry and cleaned-up, the new Moldovan markings were added. They come from a Begemot MiG-29 sheet. The flag on the rudder was improvised with a mix of paint (blue and red) and a ~2.5mm yellow decal stripe. The tactical code, the red "26", comes from a Soviet lend-lease P-40.
But the Fw 190 was till not finished - now the whitewash was added. This was simply created with Humbrol 34 (Matt White) and a soft, flat brush, in streaks which were made from the back to the front. This creates an IMHO quite plausible look of the worn, washable paint, and in some areas (around the cockpit, on the wings) I thinned the whitewash layer down even more, simulating wear.
Once dry, the decals received a light tratement with sandpaper, in order to match their look to the worn surroundings, and exhaust stains and gun soot were added with grinded graphite. Some dry-brushing with light grey was done on some areas, too. The wheels and the landing gear received a layer of "snow cake", created with white tile grout.
Finally, the model received a coat of matt acrylic varnish and finishing touches like a wire antenna (made with heated black sprue material).
this was on a trip to Cape Kiwanda, OR to do a one-on-one workshop w/ Chip Phillips. It was TOTALLY worth it! Highly recommended for anyone looking to step up their landscape skills.
The weather wasn't on our side for the weekend, but this one turned out alright the first morning.

Whitewashed brick building in neo-classical style, dating mainly from the 19 th century.
The castle was owned by numerous barons. The front of the castle was build around 1820.
Over time, the castle has undergone numerous restorations and transformations.
Today is a set of whimsical architecture, which gives it an original and even a little disturbing in foggy weather stamp ...
It is possible that the castle was built on the site of an ancient Roman villa.

Marpha village, between Tatopani and Jomsom, on the Annapurnas road (Nepal)
View my other photos of Marpha.
Unlike other villages in the Kali Gandaki valley, Marpha has been "beautified" for the tourists trekking on the Annapurnas route.
Stone houses are all nicely whitewashed. Many houses on the main street have been converted into shops selling souvenirs and supplies.
It is pretty, but much less authentic than Kagbeni, another old village further up in the valley.

The village is the Centre of England (supposedly).
Meriden is a village and civil parish in the Metropolitan Borough of Solihull, West Midlands, England. It is located between Solihull and the city of Coventry, and is approximately 10 km (6.2 mi) from Birmingham Airport.
The American city of Meriden, Connecticut is named after the village.
Historically part of Warwickshire, the surrounding countryside, known as the Meriden Gap, forms a green belt between the two urban areas of Birmingham and Coventry. It gives its name to the Meriden parliamentary constituency, which covers the Meriden Gap.
The original name of the village was Alspath and it was centred on the site of the parish church.

A young tourist appreciates the whitewashed architecture and fountains of Lagos, Portugal.
Lagos is one of the most visited cities in the Algarve and Portugal, due to its variety of tourist-friendly beaches, bars, restaurants, and hotels, renowned for its vibrant summer nightlife and parties. Yet, Lagos is also a historic centre of the Portuguese Age of Discovery.
We recently supplied The White Company with thousands of Whitewashed Logs, as part of their Christmas store displays. They look fabulous stacked and illuminated on shelves and boxed in small crates. Crisp, cool and wintery white!
Wonderful to see how The White Company have used our Whitewashed Logs (stacked on illuminated shelving) and Log Tiles (in wall art panels - as seen far left of this image) as part of their in-store displays.
The well-heeled residents of Caversham Heights are used to posh pink Scanias (and the odd silver/grey one) powering their way relatively effortlessly up Priest Hill. One wonders then what they made of this somewhat long-in-the-tooth white ex-London Trident when it appeared on route 22 during the afternoon peak of Monday 25th July.
No 521 is one of three ex-Metroline Plaxton President-bodied Dennis Tridents (521-523) that were acquired last year for its Silver Stars-branded school services and peak-hour extras, replacing older ex-Lothian Tridents that were no longer fully compliant with disability regulations. They have remained in the dealer white livery in which they were delivered, with the addition of a silver swoop and prominent Silver Stars branding. Six ex-Arriva London VDL-DB250/Wright Geminis (524-529) have also been added to the Reading Buses fleet for similar duties and these have been repainted into full Reading Buses generic livery.
