It's stranger than you'd think finally seeing in person a landscape you've seen time after time in other photographers' shots. Rock formation Hvitserkur in northern Iceland (according to legend, a troll turned to stone after being too slow getting under cover by daybreak) is one such place, and even though I knew its general shape and that the surroundings vary drastically with the tide, I didn't expect it would be quite so far off shore off a cliff, since I'd never seen the foreground included in photos. I also didn't know there was a small waterfall leading down to it!
Being on a tight schedule with three other travelers, I didn't have time to make my way down to the shore and get a closer look, but I did try to give my own spin on it by including the falls since I love waterfalls so much. Hopefully I did it justice.
Burn Up! British Airways Concorde G-BOAG captured on a fast fly-by at the International Air Tattoo. A beautiful sight :)
The 1983 IAT was the last to be held at Greenham Common due to the build up of cruise missile facilities and the reduced area for a large airshow. In 1985, RAF Fairford was chosen as the venue to host the Air Tattoo with the static display stretching for nearly 2 miles - the longest single line-up ever presented in the UK.
Concorde 214 history:
- First Registered as G-BFKW on 27th January 1978 to British Aerospace.
- After manufacture and with no buyer, the aircraft was loaned via a sale or return agreement to British Airways, to cover a 6 month period, while G-BOAC was being repaired at Filton.
- Flew for a short while as G-BFKW with British Airways. [see link to my photo below]
- Re-registered as G-BOAG by British Airways on 9th February 1981.
- Flypast in the new 'Landor' livery with the Red Arrows at the Royal International Air Tattoo in 1985. [where this photo was taken]
- Final flight from New York on 24th October 2003 - before joining G-BOAE and G-BOAF on a low circuit of London and then touching down at Heathrow together to mark the last day of Concorde commercial flights.
- Final flight from JFK across northern Canada to Seattle - 5th Nov 2003
- Retired from service and now preserved at the Museum of Flight, Seattle

The International Air Tattoo events held at RAF Greenham Common & RAF Fairford
The first Air Tattoo was staged at North Weald Airfield in Essex in 1971, with just over 100 aircraft taking part. The event was founded by Paul Bowen and Timothy Prince, who were CAA air traffic controllers, and Air Marshal Sir Denis Crowley-Milling.
From 1973 to 1983 it was held intermittently at RAF Greenham Common, moving to RAF Fairford in 1985. The show took place at Fairford every two years until it became an annual show from 1993.
initially the show was held under the title of the Royal Air Forces Association, South Eastern Area, Air Tattoo. The show became the International Air Tattoo in 1976, and in 1996 the current Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) title was adopted.

I cannot take credit for this wonderful infrared picture. It was captured by fellow photography enthusiast Max Tiraquon who kindly allowed me to post it on this flickr stream.

Thanks for all views, comments and fave adds :-)
Plus, thanks for the Admin Award from TMI Your Art and Nature Group.
to capture an island.. is not so easy.. but not so complicated either.. so lets do it buddies. You can have your own island. like these two buddies.

What you looking at??? Had the trail cam in the same spot for two weeks. Captured a few deer, mostly not centered. Got shots for a couple days, then nothing for the final week. I think they noticed something strange and avoided the area.

Chickamuga Lake
Chickamauga Lake is a United States reservoir along the Tennessee River created when the Chickamauga Dam, as part of the Tennessee Valley Authority, was completed in 1940. The lake stretches from Watts Bar Dam at mile 529.9 (853 km) to Chickamauga Dam at mile 471.0 (758 km) making the lake 58.9 miles (94.8 km) long. It borders Rhea County, Meigs County, and Hamilton County with 810 miles (1,303 km) of shoreline and two bridges crossing it at State Highway 60 and Highway 30. The lake is commonly used for recreational and outdoor activities, especially at the southern end, due to the high population density surrounding it. It was named after the Chickamauga (tribe) of Cherokees who used to live in the area.
I captured "One Coffee" (and a lot of beans) and developed with "Capture One".
Added layers to highlight the beans in the middle (exposure, saturation)

This latest image of Jupiter, taken by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope on 25 August 2020, was captured when the planet was 653 million kilometres from Earth. Hubble’s sharp view is giving researchers an updated weather report on the monster planet’s turbulent atmosphere, including a remarkable new storm brewing, and a cousin of the Great Red Spot changing colour — again. The new image also features Jupiter’s icy moon Europa.
A unique and exciting detail of Hubble’s new snapshot appears at mid-northern latitudes as a bright, white, stretched-out storm moving at 563 kilometres per hour. This single plume erupted on 18 August 2020 and another has since appeared.
While it’s common for storms to pop up in this region, often several at once, this particular disturbance appears to have more structure behind it than observed in previous storms. Trailing behind the plume are small, counterclockwise dark clumps also not witnessed in the past. Researchers speculate this may be the beginning of a longer-lasting northern hemisphere spot, perhaps to rival the legendary Great Red Spot that dominates the southern hemisphere.

Hereios are doing poe-scapes (haunting images) today.
There was much more masking and shadowing than I had anticipated with this one.
