934 approaching the old Puketeraki station site. The old formation to the bypassed tunnel and the top of the tunnel portal can be seen on the right.

The dark clouds of a storm moved in while we were along the Ogden Point Breakwater in Victoria. We were glad not to be in that kayak.
Going to the last-stop of the trip - where a 'sumptuous' grilled lunch was served, with lots of insects/flies
The two tails of comet C/2015 V2 (Johnson) are becoming more opposite of each other as Earth approaches the comet's orbit plane. An analysis of three comet position angle vectors explains the phenomena.
Earth passes through the orbit plane of comet on 2017-May-31 07:41 UTC. The position angle of sun-comet radius vector will be opposite the position angle of the negative velocity vector. This results in the comet's ion tail being opposite that of its dust tail. Ion tails point away from the sun. The dust tail curves around toward the negative velocity vector. Tail particles lie along the orbit plane. When Earth passes through the orbit plane, the orbit plane is seen edge on and the tails can appear pencil like. In this orientation, the dust tail points toward the sun and is called an anomalous or anti-tail. Dust particles leaving the nucleus are repelled initially away from the sun and appear to curve around back toward the the orbital path. Dust tail particles further down the dust tail were emitted days or weeks later than dust particles in the tail nearer the head.
On the JPL Horizons ephemeris, Earth crosses the orbit of a target object when the term PlAng shifts sign, positive to negative or negative to positive.
PlAng = Angle between observer and target orbital plane, measured from center of target at the moment light seen at observation time leaves the target.
PsAng = The position angle of the extended Sun->target radius vector as seen in the observer's plane-of-sky, measured CCW (east) from reference frame North Celestial Pole.
PsAMV = The position angle of the the negative of the target's heliocentric velocity vector as seen in the observer's plane-of-sky, measured CCW (east) from reference frame North Celestial Pole.

The heatwave at Station Approach, Solihull.
The walk in the hot weather to the bus stop on Blossomfield Road.
Near Solihull Methodist Church, and towards Solihull Station.
A lot of my approach shots were a bit soft thanks to too slow a shutter speed (my fault) and some pretty good bumps and bounces but it's still London and that's what matters.
NS SD70M-2 #2766 leads an eastbound manifest out of the west side of Cleveland, approaching the drawbridge over the Cuyahoga River.
Approaching midsummer in the Nordic countries which means that the days are at their longest and that the sun only dips below the horizon in the Stockholm area at night, which can provide amazing backdrop for a Korean Government Boeing 747-400.
Final approach into LAX after a long flight from Bangkok. We were coming in as TG794, Thai Airways Airbus A345. 15 hours journey was about to be completed.

View of the Slide/Grass Valley fires from along the I-15 freeway in Hesperia, CA. The smoke, as you can see, is definitely starting to spread.
