Hi everyone... AN UPDATE... I have applied for Disability with the SSA (USA), although it won't be much, it be something, if I am approved. I have been without a source of income for over a year and the disability application process could take several months with the pandemic so if you are in a position to help, I have setup an account to accept donations, even as little as the price of a coffee. Anything would be greatly appreciated.
See my "About" page on Flickr for the link. Thank you. www.flickr.com/people/jax_chile/

I have found another capture to complement the previuously posted image of the Satin Bowerbird. I quite like the uplifting mood created by this one of three young birds frolicking in the trees.
In case you wonder about the Latin name of this bird: male Satin Bowerbird develops his dark violet-satiny sheen after seven years.
(Ptilonorhynchus violaceus)
late night in the garden of delights
i saw some awesome sights
glowing flowers offering up their love
giving freely with great big hugs
but to get these gifts
we all have to remove our bad bits
it means eliminating the hits
we do
A wonderful attraction I never tried it but I'm sure it must feel very nice to sit inside the seats of it :-) Unfortunetly I forgot my Camera with the memory card inside at my home so this is the one and only picture from the Wasen for today.
And don't forget to take a look at my friends Flickr page :-)

Union Pacific's Clearfield Switcher shuffles a cut of heavy haul rocket booster cars on the Syracuse Branch wye in Clearfield, Utah.
UP 175 is a former Missouri Pacific B23-7 No. MP 4675 and UP 910 is former Western Pacific GP40-2 No. 3555.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) shipped solid rocket boosters from Thiokol Corporation in Corinne, Utah to the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida.
The 12-foot-wide, 150-ton segments were shipped by rail for 30 years. A clamshell-like cover, hinged at the top, protected the hardware throughout the journey. Fully loaded, a single segment car weighs in at 513,000 pounds.
Union Pacific's Malad Local was shuffling cars on the Thiokol Spur in Corrine, Utah on Nov. 20, 1993.
Some people see me like this.
I think this is very frank portrait 'cause this is what I see in the mirror too.
Photo made by dear friend Daniela Kontic Strojan as far I'm concerned another fantasy booster.
A Union Pacific GP30B rests at North Yard in Salt Lake City, Utah on July 30, 1977. The 2250 HP booster was built UP 737B by EMD in July 1963 and retired from the UP roster in Sept. 1983.
Milpitas, CA. This was my first visit to see the juvenile bald eagle, Booster. A week later it was gone.

The year is ending, the pandemic continues to hit us in successive waves and vaccination and confinement are still the best defense.
But for my brain the best booster continues to be these moments of isolation with my camera and breathing landscape.
Happy Holidays and please stay safe !

Long time no post . . . been so busy. Finally got out the camera to get a few shots of the dogs out in the fresh snow.

I got booster jabs for yellow fever, hep A, typhoid, diphtheria, polio and tetanus (for my trip next month). It hurts to lift either of my arms :( but I think I'll play the sympathy card round the house for a while ;)
FRUIT PUNCH DIVISION 1/4
Built for Mechtober. I'm already late for the one mech per week format, oh well! We'll see how many more join the ranks...

With those fins, I think this looks cooler than the original.
Update: (Flickrblogged: 4/2/2010)
Update: Wow, thanks for all the comments everyone. This high-power rocket was built by Steve P., a highly skilled member of the Spaceport Rocketry Association who specializes in the complex upscaling of small rocket kits into much bigger ones. This is one of his most intricate and at apogee, the "SRBs" eject and are recovered separately. It takes a lot of work to get it ready to fly and I believe it is his most complex, in seven years I've only seen it fly once.
Update: 4/9/2010, From Steve, the builder and owner of the rocket:
"The model is based on a 4x Dr. Zooch Space Shuttle.
The External Tank stands 58 inches tall by 6 inches in diameter. Boosters are 44 inches tall by 3.5 inches in diameter. The orbiter is 29 inches long with a wingspan of 21.5 inches.
The stack uses a K550 motor to boost to about 1500 feet. A 3 output altimeter in the ET commands booster release, drogue and main parachutes. Each booster has electronics to release a parachute."
This was its maiden flight.
The Spaceport Rocketry Association is a non-profit, rocketry club in Plam Bay, Florida. We welcome hobbyists of all ages and skill levels.
An unexpected benefit of being at the Jetty Park venue was that the booster landing zone is just across the water from you.
As the boosters are returning to earth, they look like they could be headed straight toward you. Probably because they very nearly are!
You can actually see in the image the rockets throttling the engines to control their descent (variation in light intensity). Their sonic booms reached my location about the same time as touchdown on their landing, causing me a moment or two of confusion.
Pretty amazing event! Definitely recommended!
Cheers!
Norfolk Southern train #052 eases through Dallas, GA with 12 rocket booster sections bound for NASA at Cape Canaveral for use on the Artemis Program. The longest days of the year may be hot but they sure are great for times like these.
An older mech model of the "Booster" line.
While its structural integrity is not up to standards these days, it went fast and it looked cool. And that was all that mattered back in the day
For Thankg1ving
In my frustrating efforts to painstakingly position each of these 36 figures on my makeshift grandstand, I completely forgot to include Black Lightning and Firestorm! Maybe I'll re-shoot this, maybe I won't. But what I will do is say thank you to all my followers and fans. I hope I will continue to inspire Superhero customizers and remixers through my contributions to the Flickr AFOL/TFOL community.
Aside from a more small-scale photo that will focus on the new purists which I've debuted in this large-scale shot (namely Booster Gold, Mera, Huntress, Sodom Yat, Power Girl, and Questionl), I will be posting a Q&A some time over the weekend for shits and gigs. Bring your A-game questions!
285 BOOSTER
STATION ZUID AMSTERDAM, NL
A Booster Station is in effect a pumping-engine for sluicing out sewage. It is a technical and functional utility building which envelopes a series of pipes for the drain of the sewage water.
The project 'BOOSTER' is the answer towards the task to design a multitechnical building where three pumping engines can stand. It must be also an attractive object, now and in the future, from all sides seen by many passer-by in this region.
A heavy haul flat car designed to ship Thiokol rocket boosters dwells in Union Pacific's North Yard in Salt Lake City on June 7, 1992.
A popular train that has been photographed by tons and tons of people, UP SCMRE / NS 056 / FEC 121. This train consisted of 4 leaders of 4 different kinds, UP 1943 led the SCMRE to Little rock, NS had 4479 (trailing 2nd in the picture), then it changed to NS 6920 (Veterans SD60E as shown in the photo), which if I recall was added in Birmingham, AL. Then a Pair of FEC GP40-2's took it down to Cape Canaveral. Overall, the booster train took 6 consecutive Days to get down to Florida, when it should've taken 4.
