[Tomymoonly]

wooooooooooooooot the last picture is incredible so sexy so sensual...

[kevinm]

more girls with nice tops.
 pplgrande, you should recognize this top, you got the cap from it.

[ta0]

Unfortunately, I cannot say I recognize any of the tops in the picture 

Was she successful with the Big Scoop? I would be doubly impressed if that was the case (not that I am not already).

PS: Lurkers are out of luck: log in needed to view the last picture.

[MrYo]

This one is titled: "Everything in life is kung fu"

[Neff]

Sweet!  Where is that?

[MrYo]

Tolminska Korita, Slovenia

http://www.slovenia.info/en/pohodnistvo/Tolminska-korita.htm?pohodnistvo=975&lng=2

Is a path into the woods, outside the turist circle

[ta0]

If that Titi fell on the rocks my heart would be broken. That top, with its unique shape and combination of materials is a collector dream! And to top it, it plays great!

[pplgrande]

O yeah, I defenetly recognize the top
Im still enjoying it now

[ta0]

Ok, I know we have not included several worthy pictures to this thread in the past few months, so please add any that are missing.

Obviously, one of TomyMoonly's photos of a Giulia in the mountains should be here:



These two I recently took were nominated by Neff and poptop:





What else? Deadline is December 31st, 23:59:59, UTC-11.

I've been watching ta0's pictures of his Roy Campbell's acrylic tops with interest as I have a bunch of Roy's tops including two of the acrylic ones.  I have turned about a half dozen acrylic tops, all hollow or partially hollow.  My favorite is my 3 1/4" diameter "Flashlight Top".  There is an acrylic disc that press-fits into the crown which holds a tiny battery operated LED.  When this is in and the light is on it projects a red spot light (pinpoint, almost like a laser pointer) up to 20'.  The acrylic functions like a lens, both focussing and projecting the light.  Here's a picture:

[ta0]

Great picture, Eric!  I am betting the central curve is an ellipse while the other arc a hyperbola.
I hope one day to see one like that in green coming from Cincy 

Perhaps I'll start turning acrylic before wood . . .

When this is in and the light is on it projects a red spot light (pinpoint, almost like a laser pointer) up to 20'.

Twenty feet? Mmm, is that speckle on the surface? Here I am thinking it is a laser diode not an LED.

[Eric]

ta0, I just measured......at 14' - 15' the spot disapates, so no 20'.............. I don't know what type of diode it is, but here's the website link:

I've used these for years on tops and yo-yos; Greg carried then for a while in the Infinite Illusions store...........

Why green?

[the Earl of Whirl]

I love that red top.  Nice shot.  Thanks for sharing it!

Is it hard to do tricks with it in the dark?

[ta0]

Ok, it is an LED. But I am impressed that the top can focus the LED that far.
I think I am ordering some of those lights

Green is the color (after doubling the frequency from the infrared) of the laser system physboy2357 is using in his experiments.

[ta0]

Larry D. and Silvertop nominated this one:



I took that one but the model should get all the credit. I also took this one with a similar idea.
