Ankerstein Masters

Tonight I am watching Lego Masters and thinking about how cool it would be to see a competition featuring Ankerstein builders.

ankerstein chateau, blocks, anker, building, on my table, hobbies.What cool structures would they build by just staking stones on top of each other? Can you believe that this structure was build with out any connecting parts. It is simply stacked stones.

Building with AnkersteinHere was one of the first structures made with Ankerstein that I saw. It was at an exhibition in Jena, Germany and what introduced me to this interesting hobby.

Lookout Tower - Ankerstein - NF10 - Anchor Blocks - Building with stonesMost of the structures that I have built have been to a plan, but many of them have been challenging. Especially when you have to balance stones over empty space.

Building with Ankerstein can be very challenging as it takes good hand/eye coordination. It also can require a steady hand to stack the stones.

Ankerstein - Mosaic Set - Mosaic Floor - Fresco Floor - Decoration - Anchor BlocksI also like my mosaic stones that can be used to make floor designs for a structure.

A lot of memories while watching the Lego Masters show, but not of building with Lego.

Wednesday Image Search – Mot

Welcome to another Wednesday Image Search where I pick a string of letters or a word and share some of the images I find in an image search of the blog.

Last week I continued the new sequence with ‘lot’. This week I will search for ‘mot’. There will be some gaps in this ‘*ot’ sequence, including ‘aot’, as not all combinations will find images.

What images will I find?

Mother India, Tokyo, Japan, Indian FoodThe first image is of a restaurant in Tokyo, Japan. You can hardly tell that Mother India is in Japan. They had really good food.

Remote Deplaning, Shanghai, Pudong Airport, Early Morning ArrivalNext is an old picture from a remote de-planing in Shanghai one early morning.

Tracy, California - Tracy Historic Museum - Tank Town - European Train Enthusiasts - Model Train Layout - MuralHere we have a steam locomotive in a train layout at a museum close to home.

Mother Kitten, Litter of kittens, barn kittens, orchard kittensHere we have a mother cat with her kittens. So much cuteness.

Mother's Day - Mother and Baby - Mother's Day on the Farm - Wellman, IowaFinally we have my Mother with me when I was just a little guy.

There were a few ‘mot’ images to choose from.  I hope you like the selections that I found.

Which is your favorite of these pictures?

What should I search for next? I will probably continue with the ‘*ot’ series, or maybe ‘not’.
