I've been holding on to this frame for quite some time, this is my favorite shot of the entire trip. Shot in the wee morning hours on the winter solstace 2013. The drive up the Oregon coast was a bit of a disappointment due to the fog, but the good weather stayed with us through Portland, and the 3 sisters.
The horses stayed indoors today due to the rain so I turned Wizard out in the arena for a few minutes before I rode. Wizard leaped, played, and jumped this little pole- I did not ask him to jump it, he must have decided it looked like fun :^)
Check out his DAPPLES! I'm so proud of all our hard work- he's looking great. I can't wait til the next non-rainy day so I can get a few nice photos of him.

Located 7200 light years away, the Wizard nebula, surrounds developing open star cluster NGC 7380. Visually, the interplay of stars, gas, and dust has created a shape that appears to some like a fictional medieval sorcerer. The active star forming region spans 100 about light years, making it appear larger than the angular extent of the Moon. The Wizard Nebula can be located with a small telescope toward the constellation of the King of Aethiopia (Cepheus). Although the nebula may last only a few million years, some of the stars being formed may outlive our Sun.

I hope that you all had a fantastic Christmas Day yesterday! I was fortunate enough to receive The Tower of Orthanc, as well as some other smaller sets! Orthanc is simply magnificent, and I've already taken several other shots with it! Anyway, I hope you enjoy!
Wizard living in a cozy Tudor-style house in a birch forest. There is a tree growing from the side of his house, but he cares more about his woodland friends.
The stonework and roof are building techniques I've wanted to try at scale for a while. I'm very happy with how the smoke turned out. This birch tree design has served me well in the past.

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.

Paper: 38cm * 38cm Origamido paper
Background paper: Origamido paper
Final hight of the model: 13,7cm
Time to fold: 2 hours, 35 minutes
This is my fourth attemp of Kamiya's Wizard. Before this one I folded it also with Origamido paper (maybe I will take a picture of it) and the result was quite good but after seeing many other folds with much more interesting shaping especially of the cloak I wanted to try it again and tryed to get the same shaping result and well, this is the result.
I think it is quite good with much more better shaping of the hat but the hand that holds the wand (and the wand) doesn't work like I wanted. I does not trust myself to ry to shape it with mc at Origamido paper. Maybe the next attemp will get better. :)
Hope you like it! :D

Even though you know exactly what it tastes like and how you could replicate it, each sip blows you away.
I used to think if the WWoHP would still be awesome without FJ, but I think it's more important to ask, now, if it would be the same without our mugs of Butterbeer :D

The Joust Pass: Adrenaline - Gorgeous Horses
Skill - Speed - Action - Shield - Thrills - Excitement
This is my 17th year covering this fun festival filled with color and pageantry and beautiful people. Each year some of the regulars return and sometimes fresh new faces appear to join the eclectic Renaissance Family. Some are vendors or employees, and some customers dress up to fit in with the renaissance festival fun and its 16th century way of life. One big happy family of a few thousand escaping the dull drums of their daily life for a few hours. This year's crop of new faces was lovely. Hope you enjoy the images. I try to capture their joy. Always fun, festive, very colorful and exciting!
Thank you very much for looking. Have a great day! Hazaaa!!

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! :)

The Central Park characters series (3 of 3)
I bumped into the famous Blackwolf, the Dragon Master... a well-known New York character that roams the streets, always in costume...
He lives in his own world, the world is his to conquer... and some might deem it sad and ridiculous, but I bet he's happy where he is...

I can't believe they stand so tall! And I can't believe I ride this horse.

Gringotts Wizarding Bank is the only bank of the wizarding world, and is owned and operated by goblins. It was created by a goblin called Gringott, in 1474.
Goblins are extremely greedy and would protect their money and valuables at any cost, which makes them ideal guardians for the valuables of the wizarding world. The goblins have a code that forbids them to speak of the bank's secrets, and would consider it "base treachery" to break any part of that code.
Gringotts is an imposing snow-white multistoried marble building located partway down Diagon Alley, near its intersection with Knockturn Alley, that towers over the neighbouring shops. It is the place where British witches and wizards store their money and other valuables, in heavily-guarded vaults miles below ground.
From Diagon Alley, a set of white stairs leads up to a set of burnished bronze doors. The doors are flanked by a goblin in a uniform of scarlet and gold. This is the entrance to Gringotts, and it leads into a small entrance hall and another set of doors. Engraved on these silver doors are the words:
Enter, stranger, but take heed
Of what awaits the sin of greed
For those who take, but do not earn,
Must pay most dearly in their turn.
So if you seek beneath our floors
A treasure that was never yours,
Thief, you have been warned, beware
Of finding more than treasure there.
