The High Wizards are gathering round the Miraculous Tripod of the Seasons.
Clad in the gold leaf robes and wearing the second sight caps of the fur of unknowable beasts and encrusted with alchemical nuggets of gold, they orchestrate and regulate the miracle of ... ..............SPRING.

The bunch of tulips was on the window sill, with direct, if rather weak, sunlight shining straight into this bloom. It looked stunning and irrisistible.

-----------
THE SORCERER'S PALACE
as if I am seeing
a new thing
through your
trusted eyes
never so clear
never so gold
never so purple
a descriptive vision
not tongue in cheek
but rather simple words
that draw the world to stillness
awakening a sense of disbelief
a chill wind that chases reality
to the corner
candid simple dramatic
a dream must have risen up
and mesmerized you
guiding you
through the moment
that the shutter
slid across
and captured beauty
told a story
in an instant
and called truth
as a witness

Wizard Island is a volcanic cinder cone which forms an island at the west end of Crater Lake in Crater Lake National Park, Oregon. The top of the island reaches 6,933 feet (2,113 m) above sea level, about 755 feet (230 m) above the average surface of the lake. The cone is capped by a volcanic crater about 500 feet (150 m) wide and 100 feet (30 m) deep.

Whenever I make entries for building contests, I always try to make sure that my entry would be somewhat different from the others, so that even if I ended up losing, I can still have something unique to be proud of. :) For this instance, I tried to challenge the concept of microbuilds, where most people would go for small intriguing details brought to life by creative part usage, I wanted to up the scale so that no only I can end up with something massive, but I can also play with some bigger geometries.
I chose Gringotts because I feel like it's a place that kind of ties the franchise together as it only appeared in the first and last movie. It also allows me to have a little bit of everything in the build: big movements like the crooked facade, small details like the desks for the goblins, and also an animal build - the Ukrainian Ironbelly.
I tried to populate the interior with as much detail as I can, and I swear I have never done such extensive research for any other MOC before! I also went out of my comfort zone a bit and try out something I have wanted to touch upon for many years - cheese slop mosaic for the lobby floor. Another more interesting bit would be the golden ring on the chandelier, which took me a while to figure out a seamless connection.
As for the exterior, the crooked walls and columns are in fact the main reason why I chose Gringotts Bank as my subject. I am particularly happy with the front as all the columns and windows/doors are offset in a different direction with some pretty secured connections.
However, my favourite part of the entry would still be the infamous Ukrainian Ironbelly that wrecked the roof of Gringotts. I am extremely happy with the head as well as the wings, which was giving my headaches the whole time as I don't have any cloth piece or special wing piece that I think can fit the scale I was going for at first. Hope you enjoy it! :)

Crater Lake National Park
June 2016
Finally getting caught up on some developing. This is from our vacation last June. We camped at Toketee Falls Campground about 28 miles from Crater Lake, such a beautiful area!

Always time for a little quickie. I know this is a bit hot where the sun is...but just a quick upload. May rework that area later. I used the blue gold filter for a neat look, I think :-)

The Open Cluster, NGC 7380 and its surrounding Emission Nebula, Sh2--142, is a young (12 million years) star-forming region in the Milky Way. Its distance is approximately 8,400 light years.
Photo using a ZWO S50 by stacking 10-second images for 85 minutes from my suburban backyard.
I intended on making an evil wizard who lived in a very cold place. Plus, I needed a leader for my Yeti guys I made a few years back. Recently, I aquired this face from the Ninjago line and the hands came from the CMF Fright Knight. I added an Arealight loincloth piece and customized an official Lego black hood to fit with the beard. The staff was a design I had seen used in a MOC by Marcin Otreba. The torso is from Darth Maul and the legs are from Cornelius Fudge of the Harry Potter theme. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Should I have waited until I got the General Vex Ninjago head instead?

Happy International Talk like a Pirate day everyone. Sail ships docked at Greenwich during the Greenwich Tall Ships regatta which must have been a wizard ruse to ease Londoners into the upcoming International Talk like a Pirate day. Ghost ships are of course an inevitable part of daily life for pirates: even more so than mascara and Keith Richards impersonations.

A big part of this MOC were the minifigs, which I started before each section and then built around. The full display contains 71 minifigs, 6 creatures based on minifigs, and two other creatures (the spider and the dragon).

The Wizard Nebula (Sharpless 142 or SH2-142 for short) is a diffuse nebula surrounding the developing open star cluster NGC 7380. It spans about 140 × 75 light-years and lies within our Milky Way Galaxy, about 7,200 light years away in the constellation of Cepheus. It is moving toward us at 34.13 kilometers per second.

Meet Wizard!
This was taken in East Jesus (Slab City, Niland, California) (eastjesus.org/). "East Jesus is an experimental, habitable, extensible artwork in progress since 2006". It is a "refuge for artists, musicians, survivalists, writers, scientists, laymen and other wandering geniuses".
Wizard gave us our tour of the 'private' residences outside the Art Garden of East Jesus. He started the tour by telling us he is certifiably insane and hears voices all the time and was hearing them right now. He was such a story teller and enjoyed showing us around. It was such an incredible opportunity and experience!
14, 20, 21 Sept 2020 – The Wizard Nebula, NGC 7380
The Wizard Nebula (a.k.a. SH2-142) is located just 8000 light years away in the constellation of Cepheus. The nebulosity surrounds the open star cluster NGC 7380 and the active star forming region is about 100 light years across.

The Wizard Nebula is simply a shape in a cosmic cloud surrounding open star cluster NGC 7380. Over the years it has earned its sorcerous nickname because of its similarity in appearance to a magician in a pointed hat. The Wizard Nebula is located 7,000 lightyears from Earth in our Milky Way galaxy and is found in the constellation Cepheus. This is an active star-forming region, and the stars in NGC 7380 unleash powerful streams of charged particles known as stellar winds that have sculpted the nebula into the wizard shape we see today.
