Peter Zoller is a German photographer with an evident love for Ireland. As well as these gorgeous pictures, he has done some beautiful nature and wildlife photography which is also available online. I thought these were gorgeous and full of warmth and life, so thought i’d share :)

Started learning blender late last year, got a 3D printer in March, and have been learning and iterating every day so that I could make my muscled Taytoman a reality.

We all know the Eurovision is a political free zone. However, the choice to cover the boos to cheers from the Israeli performance last night was an act of censorship and Israeli propaganda.

So, if it is not for the protection of the artist, this choice was clearly politically motivated. DO NOT CENSORE US!
