Mind Scape

[Pat]

Robin I am Hanging in there my friend, thank you for asking and yes I did have the chance to see every thing too on friday evening when I got home and needless to say I droooled even more all over myself lol...

You know Helen had said it the best "Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved."

Now a little something from me "As we all go threw the trial and fire do we all become strenghted here!!!" I can't wait to see what you do next here Robin!!!

Interesting teaser, you have there Robin! I like how you'd manage to make that chalk body thing appear in such a fitting place But the road in the top-left corner is looking bad in my opinion. The cartoony style of it doesn't fit to your realistic photo

Conclusion: Inruguing teaser. Fix the road

Thank you for your attention.

Welcome to the 800+ club, Robin!

I can really only think of one word to describe your work here in Mind Scape: Brilliant!

Keep it up, my friend!

Robin, I've been away for far too long.  Your ports and industrial areas never cease to amaze me.   

Congratulations on 800!  I'll try to start adding to those numbers a bit more often... 

Til next time,
JB

Amazing! Very attractively built and made, very impressive.

Hey Robin - first up CONGRATS on breaking the 800 barrier - well done.  Mind Scape has always been a sepcial MD in my opinion.

Second - apologies for not popping in for some time (I've been a bit inactive all round recently).

Third - Great to see that the port updates are still a speciality of yours - and this one is a real beauty.

As for the teaser/clue, hmmmmmm something to do with rubbish and murder?  Some kind of detective story maybe?  Whatever it is I'm sure it'll be done with the usual Mind Scape panache.

All the best,

Paul

Lots of congrats in order mate .
Been away far too long.

Slowly catching up - as far as page 30 now not many more to go.
(Seems to me the last post from me here was nearly a year ago  -oops)
So a proper reply when fully up to date if that ok.

Just wanted to pop in with this for you


Be back soon with a refill

Interesting teaser. Are you up to solving crimes, or committing them at the moment? Needless to say, your work here is astonishing, and congratulations on passing the 800-replies limit.

Hello All,

Remember a while back I did a few updates on bridges, well I have another one.
Bridges have always fascinated me, their structures are beautiful in their own ways.  The thought, the engineering, the I'm not really talking about the small bridges that cross over your local highway or the small stream, but the massive ones that cross entire valleys and are hundreds of meters high or over huge rivers where ships are able to pass under.  Now these are the ones that I like and are magnificent engineering marvels.
And the following pictures are no exception.....

Let me share with you the Millau Viaduct (Wikipedia link)

I hope you enjoyed those pictures as much as did.  This is definately a fascinating bridge.

Famous Quote,
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.
J. R. R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy just happens to be my most favourite books (movie as well) of all time to date.

See you all around,
Robin

Robin simply amazing update here and I love your new banner!! Dustin did a darn good job on it!!! Such great history you pulled on Millu bridge wow and the photo's, I cant wait to see what you do next buddie....

[Jmouse]

Robin, this is just simply amazing! I've been chatting recently with a young man who is interested in bridges, and he has provided links to several interesting Wiki stories and photos. But nothing like this. Next time we chat, I'll be sure to send him over here!

Congratulations on your third appearance in OSITM. I've always heard that three's a charm...

Hey Robin - GREAT bridge pictures there.  That really is an amazing bridge.  The pics of the pillars rising up from the clouds and mist are very special indeed.

And of course a MASSIVE congrats on your THIRD OSITM award, I'll return the compliment with a clap for each one.....

Enjoy your month.

Paul

Hello All,

I just wanted to show you all the map that we will be working on during this month.



Our friend Troy (Blade2k5) has made alot of great maps over the last few months and the Corpus Christie map is one of my favourites.  I have decided to see what I can do with this one.

Here are a few satelite images of the areas we will be concentrating on.

For this particular area, in the satelite images you can see it is mostly residential, but I think I will be changing that up a litlle. 
Maybe some dirty ports, you know, my sort of stuff.  The one thing I will try to do is not ot change the landscape too much.  So we'll see how it goes.

As for the bridge update.  I have something else to continue that topic in a few days.


Something for your Mind.

The Right Brain vs Left Brain test ... do you see the dancer turning clockwise or counter-clockwise?

If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.
Most of us would see the dancer turning counter-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction, see if you can do it.

At first when I looked at the dancer, she was spinning clockwise and than after a few moments of concentration I was able to make her spin the opposite way.  After a few more moments I was able to make her spin back and forth with ease.  I guess both halves of my brain work just fine. 

See you all tomorrow,
Robin
