WC 7517 west rolls into Ladysmith off the Bradley Sub on a fine February morning. In a couple blocks this E rail empty will make the right turn onto the high iron of the Superior Sub for the run back to the iron range. February 17, 2002.
Xave guides our chopper to a landing at the boyscout campsite on mount Makiling. We were trying to see if I could be flown in on the day I would have to host one of my boss's aerobatic shows. Knowing that this field would be chock full of campers that day, we nixed the idea and decided to go by car.
AIRWORKS AVIATION COMPANY is a Manila-based flight school that offers a full range of aviation courses for discriminating customers.
It is senior instructor Meynard Halili who handles all ab-initio training in every aircraft. Mr. Halili, a former senior VP for Philippine Airlines, finished his many certification courses at Embry-Riddle, American Flyers, and Flight Safety International. He is an FAA-licensed CFI, who returns to the US yearly for training.
We are equipped with the following well-maintained (an understatement, actually) aircraft: Beech Baron 58, Cessna 172N Penn-Yan Superhawk, Bellanca Super Decathlon, and Robinson R22 Beta. The school also offers instrument simulator training in its FRASCA 132 simulator.

This is an illustration of this gene therapy approach for Pompe disease, a deadly, inherited muscle disorder caused by a faulty gene. This image depicts a modified virus, called rAAV 8, being injected into an individual and carrying a healthy gene to the liver. Once in the liver, the gene produces a missing enzyme, called GAA, which goes to the muscles and helps them work. Based on mouse studies, the researchers also expect the gene therapy to train the body’s immune system to recognize GAA and not attack it.

Costa Mesa, CA – Visited the Lyon Air Museum and witnessed the majestic flight of a North American “Mitchell” B-25 Bomber. This particular plane was used for combat patrol flights in Alaska and the Aleutian Islands. After World War II it was used to transport pilots and crew members. What makes this museum so unique is that all aircraft are flight ready. Each aircraft is flown about once a month to keep it “in shape”.
On this day a veteran pilot of a B-25 was at the museum telling stories and answering questions. It was awe inspiring to hear the thunderous roar of the twin engine (1,700 hp) aircraft as its chrome finish reflected the sun and sky when it flew overhead. I can’t image what it must have been like when there were hundreds of these birds peppering the horizon.
Magdeburg is the capital city of the Bundesland of Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. Magdeburg is situated on the Elbe River and was one of the most important medieval cities of Europe.
Magdeburg is the site of two universities, the Otto-von-Guericke University and the Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences.
Nowadays Magdeburg is a traffic junction as well as an industrial and trading centre. The production of chemical products, steel, paper and textiles are of particular economic significance, along with mechanical engineering and plant engineering, ecotechnology and life-cycle management, health management and logistics.
In 2005 Magdeburg celebrated its 1200th anniversary.
Located in the heart of the vibrant city of Magdeburg since October 3rd, 2005, THE GREEN CITADEL OF MAGDEBURG is a place of peace to be enjoyed, a world of architectural novelty that is full of individuality and creativity, in harmony with nature.
This is the worldwide latest and greatest masterpieces of architecture by the austrian Friedensreich Hundertwasser.
It is a paradise for everyone, inviting you not only to live, work or shop here, but also to meet, celebrate and stay the night.
Golden spheres on towers, windows, no two of which are alike, and integrated trees, fountains and flower meadows in interior courtyards shape the “close to nature” approach of this architecture.
The “Green Citadel” emerged after about two years of construction. Besides apartments and shops, the building houses a hotel and a cafe. The building complex is a fun and functional space for work and leisure. “Life happens here. The word “citadel” originally comes from the Italian “cittadella”, which means “small city”.
The building has 900 windows of 300 different types, so each window is presented only 3 times. Imagine how difficult it was to invent and create 300 types of windows!
The building has 150 pillars, all of which are different, too.
The building houses the hotel (42 rooms are designed individually), theater, offices, shops, kindergarden and 55 apartments. The building received its title due to the large number of trees that grow in the yard, on the floors and on the roof. Some of the trees grow right out of the apartments! People who rent these apartments are taking care of the trees.

Approaching Nubra is a very exciting journey. From Kardung when you start climbing down, everything is in just shades of one colour 'Rust'. Anything between rust to sand colour, even the river shyok. It took us quite a decent into the valley to realise the valley is completely filled with the river and not a clay-ish sand. And then the sky was Blue! Representing these two colours in Black and White.
Approaching the Harilaou Trikoupi Bridge from the northern, Antirrio side, from Mesolongi and Nafpaktos.
It was the whole of the setting I wanted to capture: mountains off in the distance. Trees all around. And a train approaching a trestle bridge. I felt the yellow of the train gave the right contrast to the sea of green all around with the trees.
It,s late afternoon and I went Wolverhampton to photograph the Class 37 on a Holyhead to Birmingham train [37421], while waiting for it I took 7 pictures , 86101 86227/232/245. 90001 43097. above is Class 47 47853 passing over with a Poole to Liverpool Lime Street service. Saturday 23/07/1993.
