I built Van Gogh's Starry Night LEGO set around Thanksgiving time

Field trip out to Willy Field to fabricate some ramps for Kenn Borek Air. Got to tour the Basler and Twin Otter aircraft that serve the continental interior. I don't usually get to leave 'town' so I relish every opportunity to do so. That Basler is one beautiful bird!🛩️

I frequently say that Antarctica has only two seasons: summer and winter. There is no spring or fall. Upon further reflection, this is true at the very Pole, but the northern coasts do experience a period where the sun rises and sets. These could be thought of as Antarctic "spring" and "fall"
