Blogiversary Celebration

.
Wednesday The 8Th
will be the 1 year anniversary
of my blogging life.
.
Over the next few days I will be looking back at this past year and sharing thoughts and updates about the blogging experience and my life in general.
.
So, this is either:
.
An announcement of good things to come
or
a windbag alert.
.
It's for you to decide.

Classics In Lego

I came across a web page from a photographer named Mike Stimpson from the UK. He does these amazing recreations of iconic photo using Lego blocks & men. The details are quite stunning. Click on the photos for larger versions and you must go to the links below to see his other amazing work. On each page of his photos are links to view the original photos, and some pages have pictures of how he set up the shots.
