Calais Pier (J. M. W. Turner, 1803). Kristin here– Over the past three years, starting early in the pandemic, I have found a soothing and edifying occupation which one can indulge in at home: doing online jigsaw puzzles. Mostly I choose ones with images of ancient Egyptian places and artifacts and of my favorite painters. Having […]
A spectacular and unique dove. Male is vivid orange with peculiar hair-like feathers and bright yellow wingtips. Head is duller brown than body. Female is mostly green with a yellow undertail and a brownish face. She resembles female Golden and Velvet Doves, but those species do not overlap in range. Unique voice sounds much like a dripping tap from a distance, but up close more like someone clicking their thumb and finger together: a regular “drip drip drip.”
The Honda CB900F was never the prettiest of bikes. But with a solid 95 bhp on tap, it offered a big performance jump over the CB750. It was mostly aimed at the European market, where it was known as the Bol D’Or—after the famous endurance race. The Spanish shop Cafe Racer Dreams has now revealed the potential of the CB900F with this exquisite custom. It’s been given a hefty upgrade in dynamics, too: as well as the Ducati SS fairing, it’s now sporting the front end from a Monster S2R and assorted Ducati brake components. It’s the personal ride of
The cobalt-blue-and-brick-red residence where now-legendary Mexican visual artist Frida Kahlo grew up—and at times lived with husband Diego Rivera—is one of the city’s most consistently packed attractions; buying tickets in advance is strongly recommended. That said, the visit is essentially (and justifiably) mandatory and offers fascinating glimpses into this extraordinary woman’s life and work. In addition to holding some of her paintings, the house also functions as a showcase for her library, astounding wardrobe, and collection of pre-Columbian artifacts; it additionally bears witness to her close association with left-wing politics. What’s more, the museum portrays the artist’s struggles with depression, marital infidelities, disability, and illness. The house’s garden—home to a modest café and mostly bashful felines—makes for a great breather before more strolling in the Coyoacán neighborhood.
I spent a good part of my free time in the past five to six years doing all kinds of model creation things centered around certain iconic Warhammer 40,000 designs, with antiquated software, in an engine from generations back. Mostly Space Marines. It was mainly tinkering, recycling, experimenting, hacking together and so on. Some time back I figured out enough of more up-to-date model and texture methods to start actually putting new ones together from scratch. This one still uses the same crude, un-baked hard surface techniques and some recycled UV that I used when I was still learning the ropes, but I think he came out pretty good. The bare head is a modification of that "Space Marine noggin" I've posted earlier. Design-wise, for the body, I've taken some heavy inspiration from Mark Spark's "Death of Hope" Horus Heresy movie project, mainly with the chest plate and technological bits. I used a couple other unofficial and official references when shaping the rest of the armor, including the WH40k video game "Regicide" - some of the best Marine designs ever in that one - and the excellent fan film series "Astartes". The polygon distribution is still a bit choppy, so I might still tune that in the near future, mostly on the legs. The skull was made by a friend ("BlueFlytrap") years back. I have his permission to use it wherever I need it. Realtime Blender Eevee renders, so the shadows are a little buggy. Would've preferred ray-tracing, but the head material was causing some weird artifacts that I couldn't get rid of. Textures mostly GIMP-painted with some Substance help for edge wear.
Description Been wanting to join the fire force fandom for a while! Im a bit late with keeping up with the story and still a bit confused with all the abilites and plots and etc BUT I LOVE IT AND I WANT MORE! yeh~ while beeing sucked into this hell, i created this - or her: Kazane (=the sound the wind makes) Sherman. She is still a huge WIP but i think i found her fire ability, which allows her to create two huge blue fire claw-like arms. She can make them bigger, use them to climb things and to boost herself faster, maybe even use them as wings or to propell herself up into the air, or so (i still dont know what the limits are, or how much they can do, as long as they have enough oxygen and all) i also might change her fire force jacket a bit since she would just burn away the sleeves with her fire. Not sure about the brigade yet aswell, but it seems the most logical thing for her to do (story wise). Kazane also has a few burning scars on her right arm/hand, since its said they are mostly immune to fire so yeh. idk hope you like her! will update her here and there, and try to adapt to the style a bit better.

My take on Artstation's challenge Feudal Japan: Shogunate. The Idea was to depict 8 characters from the Edo period which is the period between 1603 and 1868 in the history of Japan, when Japanese society was under the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate and the country's 300 regional daimyō. The challenge was meant to be for the concept art for a game but it didn't specify whether it should be realistic, cartoony or fantasy like. At the moment realistic games are really popular especially with the new God of War coming out recently. As a fan of that franchise I choose to do the Shogunate CA in realistic manner. I tried to be true to the Japanese history so I took inspiration mostly from museum artifacts. It was really challenging to distinguish three typical characters Shogun, Daimyo and Samurai as they all take a form as warriors which can make them too similar. It was really intense but had a lot of fun with it. Especially with the Daimyo, which is my favourite from the wild bunch.

www.budapestdailyphoto.com Varga Imrea created this statue-group in 1986 with the title “People Waiting” (in Hungarian it is “Várakozók” ) I rather like to call them the ‘Umbrella Ladies’:) And seriously, if you search ‘umbrella’ or ‘Obuda’, you can find images of these ladies surrounded in different colours of flowers depending on the different seasons with information better than ‘people waiting’;) it is this famous somehow. So this was found in Óbuda (Old Buda), it is the oldest part of Budapest situated on the right bank of the Danube. The District III. which lies on the ruins of the huge, ancient military camp of Roman legionaries called Acquincum, the northernmost frontier of the Roman Empire in continental Europe. Consequently, several amphitheatres and artifacts have been unearthed here. Óbuda was inhabited mostly by german-speaking Swabian farmers. I didn’t see its village-like atmosphere on this day. It was slightly foggy when I was there. Plus I tried many different angles and perspectives to take all four ladies (it was a very interesting process).
Kennecott Concentration Mill rises 14 stories tall beneath Bonanza Ridge in the Wrangell Mountains, Alaska, USA. Kennecott Mines National Historic Landmark and nearby McCarthy lie within Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve, the largest National Park in the USA. Old mine buildings, artifacts, and colorful history attract summer visitors. Remote McCarthy is connected to Chitina via the McCarthy Road spur of the Edgerton Highway. At the east end of McCarthy Road, visitors must park their vehicle and walk across the footbridge to McCarthy. From McCarthy, a privately-operated shuttle takes visitors 5 miles to Kennecott. After copper was discovered between the Kennicott Glacier and McCarthy Creek in 1900, the Kennecott town, mines, and Kennecott Mining Company were created and named after the adjacent glacier. Kennicott Glacier and River had previously been named after Robert Kennicott, a naturalist who explored in Alaska in the mid-1800s. The corporation and town stuck with a mistaken spelling of "Kennecott" with an e (instead of "Kennicott" with an i). Partly because alcoholic beverages and prostitution were forbidden in the company town of Kennecott, the neighboring town of McCarthy grew quickly to provide a bar, brothel, gymnasium, hospital, and school. The Copper River and Northwestern Railway reached McCarthy in 1911 to haul over 200 million dollars worth of ore 196 miles to the port of Cordova on Prince William Sound. By 1938, the worlds richest concentration of copper ore was mostly gone, the town was mostly abandoned, and railroad service ended. Not until the 1970s did the area began to draw young people for adventure and the big money of the Trans Alaska Pipeline project. Declaration of Wrangell-St. Elias National Park in 1980 drew adventurous tourists who helped revive McCarthy with demand for needed services. Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve is honored by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.

This model of the First Rate Warship of the British Admiralty is a highly detailed and fine example of the artistic craftsmanship of the prisoners, mostly French but some Dutch and British, held during the Napoleonic Wars (1795-1815). These superbly accurate and highly detailed models are considered by enthusiastic collectors worldwide as some of the most desirable and important ship models ever created. Representing one of the largest Ships-of-the-Line from the period, this model features great sharp lines and an intricacy of the rig and gear that is to be marveled over, regardless of the harsh circumstances of its construction. The masts have ring slices of gold and baleen between bone sections, and the main deck has a baleen center dividing the bone planks. Gun ports have red polychrome to echo those in real life, and large anchors of bone and metal are position to drop and hold firm. Above the bow’s beak a Warrior Figurehead, sword aloft, is quite visible. Special note should be given the detailed base made of a bone tray and feet with inlays of colorful woven straw. These rare Prisoner-of-War bone models has been available in very few numbers, the decline making it more difficult for private collectors to compete with public institution buyers for acquisition of these historically important and aesthetically appealing artifacts. This is a fine model of an intricate scale that would be appreciated in any collection.
Told mostly through the form of a journal, The Chimera of Prague: Gap Year 1998, Part I by Rick Pryll is the first in a series that follows the life of a Joey, a young man living in Prague, Czech Republic. After his divorce from Rachael, Joey moves to Prague to rediscover who he is and to take a break from the whirlwind that has become his life. While living there, he meets Karina, a shy woman whom he is initially obsessed with. Karina, on the other hand, does not seem too interested in Joey. His interest shifts towards other ladies. Two in particular capture his heart, Ingrid and Izabela. Even so, he does not find what he is looking for in them and he uses them as an excuse from searching for answers within himself. The form of writing adopted by Rick Pryll in The Chimera of Prague allowed me to experience Joey’s raw emotions and his perspective on different situations and people. His tone is outspoken, which creates a striking impact that continuously engages. Joey appears narcissistic, obnoxious and opinionated which he uses to mask the conflict going on inside him. As the main character, he delivers the twists of the narrative impressively, considering the difficulty in creating an impactful main character who is less than perfect. The inclusion of detailed descriptions of historical places, artifacts, as well as the Czech cuisine and culture adds a flavorful gloss. I look forward to the book’s sequel to follow Joey’s story.
The Enchanted Forest is a now-closed theme park in Ellicott City, Maryland, on U.S. Route 40 (Baltimore National Pike) near the intersection with Bethany Lane. Other theme parks with the same name have since opened elsewhere. The Enchanted Forest officially opened on August 15, 1955, following a preview party the afternoon before — one month after Disneyland Park's opening. Appealing mostly to families with small children, the park had a nursery rhyme theme. The park featured fairy tale buildings and characters, but no mechanical rides originally. Track rides were added later, including the Alice in Wonderland ride with teacup-shaped cars, a Cinderella's castle ride with mice for the cars, the "Little Toot" boat that took children to Mount Vesuvius for giant slides, and the Jungleland Safari which was driven by open Land Rover-type vehicles. Children's birthday parties were often held in the picnic areas among the attractions; many local teenagers worked as ticket-takers at the park. Unlike many other attractions of the time, the Enchanted Forest was integrated from the day it opened.[1] Admission was one dollar for adults and fifty cents for children. At opening, the park was 20 acres (81,000 m2), but it later expanded to 52 acres (210,000 m2). At the height of its popularity, the Enchanted Forest welcomed 300,000 children per summer season. After its original owners, the Harrison family, sold the park for $4.5 million to JHP Development in 1988, the park closed for the first time in 1989. After turning more than half the land (primarily the parking lots) into the Safeway-anchored Enchanted Forest Shopping Center in 1992, JHP Development reopened the park for the 1994 summer season, predominantly for children's birthday parties. Willie the Whale in 1972 From when the park was permanently shuttered in 1995, to 2005 when active preservation began, much of the theme park sat undisturbed yet neglected behind a chain-link fence. In 1999, the Friends of the Enchanted Forest was formed with the goal of reopening the park and then in 2003 the Enchanted Forest Preservation Society was formed with the long-term goal of reviving the Enchanted Forest.[2] Their work focused on preventing the artifacts from being lost forever. The owner of the land, Kimco Realty Group, agreed in 2004 to allow most of the fairy tale structures and figures to be moved to nearby Clark's Elioak Farm for display and preservation. Moving and restoration began in 2005. Contributions were still being welcomed in 2011, although many of the exhibits had been restored and returned to service at the farm. from Wikipedia
