A mating pair of Pearl-bordered Fritillary found by Mark Jones.
After watching them for a few minutes they took a very short flight and landed on this Bluebell.
The blended result of the airliner light trails exactly is what I want. Thank you so much, Mark Jones who gave me the right direction and a great short cut to stack those 22 images in Photoshop, this is truly a big credit indeed. So, Flickr is a nice place to be and to stay, when you got some troubles in photography or the operations of software, there are lot of kindly friends standing by your side around.
Thanks again Mark! Your helping hands just appeared in time which let me had gotten a huge step in advancement. 😅
This mansion was built for J. Russell Jones, a influential Civil War patriot who later would become a U.S. Marshall, steamship owner, chairman of the Republican Party, and Minister Resident to Belgium during the Administration of his friend, President Ulysses S. Grant. Built in 1857, the Italianate style Jones House, now known as the Belvedere Mansion, is the largest mansion in Galena. Completely restored, Belvedere Mansion is open for tours.
The mansion is a contributing structure in the Galena Historic District. The district encompasses 85 percent of the City of Galena and includes more than 800 properties. The Galena Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1969, with modifications in 2013.
Galena is the seat of Jo Daviess County in the northwest corner of Illinois. This is the unglaciated area of northwestern Illinois. The rolling hills, history and abundant 19th century architecture draws visitors from throughout the country. The estimated population of Galena in 2019 was 3,158.

Duckett’s Grove is described by Mark Bence-Jones in his book 'A Guide to Irish Country Houses' "A square house of 2 and three storeys, transformed into a spectacular castellated Gothic fantasy by Thomas A. Cobden … for J. D. Duckett 1830. Numerous towers and turrets, round, square and octagonal; notably a heavily machicolated round tower with a tall octagonal turret growing out of it. The walls enlivened with oriels and many canopied niches sheltering statues; more statues and busts in niches along the battlemented wall joining the house to a massively feudal yard gateway; yet more statues manning the battlements of one of the towers, and disposed around the house on pedestals………. The house was burnt 1933 and is now a ruin. "

I was trying some new photoshop techniques and I guess I could say I've learnt a little something new. I can't remember how I did this photo but there must've been about... 20 layers and I usually only use half of that. Not sure if I like it, but it's good to explore every now and again.
Anyway we're getting into October soon and the sun rises later each morning. In England we have to turn out clocks back an hour, so don't forget to do that.
So it's Bondi Beach on the horizon.

SUNRISE – NORAH JONES
FOR UNNI
Watch out, watch out,
Jack Frost is about
painting like Banksy
leaving his mark
a shining example in sunlight
bold patterned sketches etched after dark
I run around; slipping
clicking and tripping
trying not to catch frost bite
my beautiful Unni
Queen of the macro
would be smiling at this “awesome” sight
and with her in my mind
I am desperate; determined to find
any kind of decaying decadence left behind
wildflower or herb that has frosted
nearby the crumbling kerb
frozen in time; laying undisturbed and rusted
stumbling over the icy stile
feels like I walk for at least a mile
until at last my elusive search
encrusted sweet jewel of the earth
an unidentified seedhead
rich and studded with diamonds
awaits me and twinkles a smile
so bright and precocious
oh, I must look atrocious
is this a good and one and only time
I can fit supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
into a poem, to make my wonderful friend Unni
laugh out loud; please don't drop a stitch
for I'm guessing you're knitting
woollen hat, scarf and pink mittens
for the most beautiful princess
don't forget to string together
the mittens so they will never
get forgotten or lost in the ether
oh, how I digress and procrastinate
where was I; right back to the cotton
I mean thread of my endeavours
out at this hour; all kinds of weathers
nothing could stop me
trying for my dearest kind Unni
to get a frost covered macro shot
one she will love and so
I will always remember this Winter
with all it's gifts from above.

Ordered by General James Oglethorpe, Governor of the 13th colony, in 1732, the Tybee Island Light Station has been guiding mariners safe entrance into the Savannah River for over 285 years. The Tybee Island Light Station is one of America's most intact light station having all of its historic support buildings on its three-acre site. Rebuilt several times the current Lighthouse displays its 1916 day mark with 178 steps and a First Order Fresnel Lens.
Under the direction of Noble Jones of Wormsloe Plantation, work began on the first day-mark (a lighthouse without a light) built on Tybee. It was constructed in 1736. It was octagonal in shape and was constructed of brickwork and cedar piles. Standing 90 feet tall, it was the tallest structure of its kind in America at that time. Unfortunately, storms took their toll on Tybee’s first day-mark. Five years after its completion, a new day-mark was commissioned. While work was progressing on a new day-mark, a storm swept the old day-mark away in August 1741.
In 1742, the second day-mark built on Tybee was completed. It was described by Oglethorpe as “the best building of that kind in America.” It was different from its predecessor, standing 94 feet with a flagstaff which ran from the nave to the top of the beacon. By 1748, the sea was within thirty feet of the day-mark. Piles were driven into the sand to support the foundations. Unfortunately, that is when the sea started to encroach, reaching the very door of the day-mark. A new day-mark was needed and time was running out.
In 1768, with the sea lapping at the foundation of the day-mark, the Georgia Assembly authorized a new day-mark/lighthouse to be built. This time a site well removed from the sea was chosen and the building was completed in early 1773. The day-mark/lighthouse was ceded to the Federal Government from the colony of Georgia in 1790. The United States Lighthouse Establishment then took over the operation of the day-mark turning it into a lighthouse and in 1791, the 100 foot tall brick and wood structure was lit with spermaceti candles for the first time.
In 1861, the wooden stairs and the top 40 feet of the tower were destroyed during the Civil War when Confederate troops, retreating to Fort Pulaski, set fire to the tower in order to prevent the Union troops from using it to guide their ships into port.
After the Civil War, the Lighthouse Establishment began work on rebuilding the Tybee Light. The lower 60 feet of the old lighthouse was still intact, and it was decided to add to the existing structure instead anew. The lighthouse was now to be a first order station, consisting of masonry and metal only. It was completely fireproof. This is the lighthouse that stands today.
The Tybee Island Museum is housed in a historic Endicott Period Battery, which was built as a part of Fort Screven during the Spanish-American War in 1899.
Fort Screven was an important military post of the Spanish American War (1898). Most of its batteries were not completed in time for that war, and the Spanish never threatened an attack on Savannah and the fort never came under fire.
Fort Screven had 7 batteries, 6 on Tybee Island and a seventh, Battery Hambright, near Fort Pulaski. Battery Garland now houses the Tybee Island Museum and is open to the public. The others can be seen from the street and beach, but are not publicly accessible.

DareDevils of the Desert - Part I: Defeat at Gaza
The British met with failure in the initial assault on Gaza in 1917. This diorama includes both tanks featured in this Young Indiana Jones episode: The British Mark V (green) and a Fiat 3000b (tan). The small tank took first place in the Aug, 2010 Lego Tank Contest No2: www.flickr.com/groups/923517@N20/discuss/72157624063238761/

Part III: COMING WINTER 2011
This MOC marks the beginning of a new era for me in terms of building. One that will be marked with higher quality pictures, greater attention to details, and also consistency.
This little 12x12 vignette is the first of many that are to come. Inspired by the Harry Potter vignette collaboration, I decided to make my own version using various memorable scenes from the Indiana Jones movies.
I would like to thank all the builders from the Harry Potter vignette story collaboration for inspiring me. Also, a big thank you to Mel and Markus for explaining in further detail their masterpieces at BrickWorld.
The 1st Battalion The Royal Welsh (Royal Welch Fusiliers 23rd Foot) and assigned units including Afghan National Army, Afghan National Police, Estonian Forces and French Army carry out ongoing training and preparation for OP Moshtarak, in Helmand Province, Afghanistan.
Op Moshtarak
15,000 troops are set to launch major assaults on Taliban strongholds in Helmand Province, Afghanistan.
At Camp Bastion soldiers from 1 Royal Welsh are working alongside French, Estonian and Afghan National Army soldiers to practice drills together and conduct battle preparation.
Other troops are carrying out operations which have been going on for a number of weeks in Nad Ali district to prepare for Operation Moshtarak.
Alongside the British troops are soldiers from Afghanistan, Australia, Canada, the United States, France and Estonia. The operation has been planned to remove insurgents from areas of central Helmand not previously cleared by ISAF troops.
NATO commanders intend to turn the tide this year on the insurgency.
Lieutenant General Nick Parker, the British ISAF Deputy Commander in Afghanistan, said that Op Moshtarak was the first part of a three-stage plan to increase security in the country.
He said that after the insurgency in the south had been subdued British forces would move to building capacity in the Afghan National Security Forces and that this would likely become the main effort later in the year.
The third stage will be transition and the reintegration of insurgents and sympathisers into Afghan society through an Afghan-led reintegration policy.

From deep in the achieves, reprocessed using Photoshop CC 2022.
Please, no group or other invites, or images, thank you!
The Vyne is a 16th-century country house outside Sherborne St John, Basingstoke, Hampshire, England. It was built for Lord Sandys, King Henry VIII's Lord Chamberlain. The house retains its Tudor chapel, with stained glass. The classical portico on the north front was added in 1654 by Inigo Jones's pupil John Webb. In the mid-eighteenth century The Vyne belonged to Horace Walpole's close friend John Chaloner Chute, who designed the Palladian staircase, whose magnificent apparent scale belies its actual small size. The Vyne was bequeathed by its final Chute owner, Sir Charles Chute, to the National Trust in 1958. Each year a number of concerts, plays and family events are run. The grounds contain large woodland and a wetlands nesting site which is populated by swans and Common Redshanks. There are a number of woodland, wetland and parkland walking trails. Dogs are welcome into the grounds (on leads), in Morgaston Woods and the Organic Parklands (under direct control). The Vyne holds an inscribed Roman ring as well as a lead tablet that speaks of a curse on the one who stole it. J.R.R. Tolkien was asked to comment on it as an expert on Anglo-Saxon history, including its connection to a mine fabled to have been dug by dwarves, and a few days after began writing Lord of the Rings.

Shown here is the area behind the Casthouse of Blast Furnace No. 1 at the Warren, Ohio steel mill complex.
Built in 1922 in Warren, Ohio the blast furnace was once the largest in the country. It was also the last standing blast furnace in the Mahoning Valley. The steel mill was founded in 1912 by Trumbull Steel and was once called Trumbull Cliffs. Since then ownership has changed hands many times. In 1929 Republic Steel & Iron took over operations. Then during a J&L Steel (Jones & Laughlin) takeover in 1984, LTV Steel was born. LTV Steel gave way to WCI Steel. The Renco Group bought WCI in 2002 and in 2008 Severstal SA of Russia took over. From this RG Steel formed in 2012. The mill last operated as RG Steel when in 2012 it declared bankruptcy and 1200 steel workers lost their jobs.
This relic is the last remaining piece of the historic Warren, Ohio steelmaking era. It's current demolition will mark the end of steelmaking in the Mahoning Valley.
I was fortunate enough to gain legal access to the site one cold day in March 2017 as demolition equipment was being staged. In October 2017 this beautiful piece of American industrial history is almost gone.
Over the next few months I will be posting numerous photographs from the site.

The Tank Mark VIII also known as the Liberty or the The International was an Anglo-American tank design of the First World War intended to overcome the limitations of the earlier British designs and be a collaborative effort to equip France, the UK and the US with a single heavy tank design. The tank appearing in the 1989 Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade movie was a replica vehicle made from an excavator, following the hull shape of the Mark VIII but with a turret added.

Jaron saw my Challenger 2 moc, and assigned me the tank from Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade. Well Jaron, here it is. Built in three days, it is minifig-scale, though they cannot be put inside due to the design. Hope you all like it.
Railfreight makes a welcome return to Penmaenmawr Quarry after a decade and in some style in the form of one of GB Railfreight's premium Brush Traction locomotives, Class 60, 60087.
The working was a trial run ahead of a new flow of aggregate for concrete construction projects to the relatively new Hanson terminal at Tuebrook Sidings, due to start in earnest in the New Year. The 60 arrived on 6D60 07:08 Tuebrook Sidings to Penmaenmawr Quarry.
After arriving in the quarry sidings and splitting its rake of 23 JNAs, the loco drew the front portion forward and then ran round the whole rake, before shunting back on to the east end of the portion nearest the camera and propelling it back (seen here) to reattach to the other portion. The whole train was then propelled further back into the sidings until the first wagon was positioned under the chute ready for loading.

Brunwald Castle was a castle on the Austro-German border. For a time, it was used by Nazis as a secret base. Henry Jones, Sr. was captured and kept there. The castle held many fine tapestries as part of the Brunwald family's art collection.
This Moc marks the 30th Anniversary since the release of my personal favourite Indiana Jones film, The Last Crusade. I displayed this build back in January at Brickvention 2019.

While you are here and still reading, i'd like to give a little update regarding a few things. So i've done a name change, long overdue and i'm much happier with the new name. I've only posted my Brickvention Mocs over the past two years due to my last two years of high school getting in the way of doing much building at all other then a few Star Wars ships here and there. Recently i have moved house and got a proper Lego table set up and have sorted 95%+ of my collection. I have a lot of content coming very soon so make sure you check out my Instagram and stay tuned here for more!
David Jones and Mark Clements renamed Malaxis latifolia as Dienia montana, and it appears in David’s latest book under that name. But the Kew checklist says that this name is “nomen superfluum” (name superfluous) and that a prior name has precedence. The accepted name for this species is now Dienia ophrydis. It is widespread across tropical and subtropical Asia from Southern China in the west through to PNG, Queensland and New Caledonia in the Pacific.
Huge thanks to fellow floe edge traveler David Henley for securing this great image. Very, very much appreciated.
A few things.
First, how about that power stance!
Also, camouflage. I didn't have any as a child, now that I am older - time to go crazy. I even got white winter camo tape to wrap on the monopod (only effective when the legs are not deployed).
Finally, is that dark line of smoke the soul of a bird being sucked into the camera? Or is it the physical manifestation of my fanatical dedication to eider photography emanating from the lens?
Anyway, this is my current wildlife set up, a Canon EOS-1D X Mark II attached to an EF+1.4x III teleconverter attached to a EF600mm f/4L IS III lens attached to a Benro DJ90 tilt head attached to a Manfrotto 679B Monopod. The camera and lens are wrapped in a Goretex shell from LensCoat.

Whelp, it's that time of year. I don't plan to make anything else this year, at least nothing that would knock any of these off this list.
Unlike last year, most of these of pretty tame, and by that I mean no Big Figs or any that stray to far from a standard Lego figure style.
They include Pong Krell from Star Wars The Clone Wars, Logan, Hellboy, Arthur Morgan from Red Dead Redemption 2, Kratos from God of War, Davy Jones from the Pirates of The Caribbean films, Iron Man Mark 45 from Avengers Age of Ultron, Paul McCartney from the Beatles Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album, Darth Maul from Clone Wars, and Master Chief from Halo 2 and 3.
I don't really have these ordered, but I can say for fact number one ,and by far my favorite of the year, is Davy Jones.
What do you think? Do you agree with my list? Who would you take out or add? If you made more than 10 things this year, I challenge you to do a top 10 as well.
EDIT: I would replace Logan with my Bumblebee, which was made after this list was planned and this photo was taken. Bumblebee was unexpectedly finished on the last day of the year, and he easily makes this list.

The light was pretty flat with overcast clouds but I was fortunate to get a break which put a shaft of light across the building and top of the falls.
