Some configurations somehow turn surreal....... At Goðafoss, a bizarre pattern of constantly moving clouds, periodically changing, diffused, dusk light and a beautiful fall together made a hypnotic configuration.

Much has happened since my last posting. My ISP became impossible for me and I have changed my service provider. That has meant working through 11 years of a previous ISP trying to issue so many email address changes. I have gone through 17 000 email in a folder. It has meant ages trying to set up the modem and configurations (I am not technical)
Anyway most of that is done and if you want to contact me personally you can use the address in my profile. I have a lot to do before I go away but am trying to get time for Flickr. I hope you are all well.
We had friends here from overseas and I took these photos here before they came. They are from Lake Eacham on the Atherton Tablelands.
The first is of a canoeist (I think it is one of those).
The second is looking under a large strangler fig tree across the lake.
The third is looking upwards at a freshwater pandanus.
When attracting parental care, nestling birds like these Blue-black Grassquits (Volatinia jacarina) open their mouths as wide as they can, displaying their colorful gape (inner mouth) surrounded by bright “lips” (called gape flanges). This configuration of visually conspicuous colors and shapes stimulate the parent bird to place food into the mouth of the hungry chick. Studies show that birds can recognize their own offspring by gape colouring, including clues visible only in the ultra-violet spectrum. It is also thought that baby birds advertise their fitness through their gape colouring, with the parent bird using this information to give extra food to the healthiest chicks.

Odd light configurations untie.
Norfolk Southern 4197 has the point of the Seattle, Washington to L.A. Shops, California intermodal train, as it splits the SP era Tri-lights at the north end of Brock. From here the train will cruise to Sunset Whitney for a sit in wait for a slot at Roseville, only other thing worth a mention in the frame would be the faint shadow of the Sutter Buttes in the middle left about thirty-five miles away from here.
C-FKAB, a Pilatus PC-12/45, landing on runway 33 at Toronto Buttonville Municipal Airport in Markham, Ontario. It was arriving from Sudbury, Ontario. Half an hour later, it departed for Thunder Bay, Ontario.
Serial number 634 began its career in June 2005 as ZS-PRX with the South African Red Cross Air Mercy Service Trust in Cape Town, South Africa. Seventeen years later, it wears the same basic livery with Air Bravo Corp. of Thunder Bay, Ontario.
The incredibly beautiful Don Phi Phi Island makes a dreamy configuration with a traditionally decorated boat and a handful of scattered clouds!
Elgin, Joliet and Eastern Baldwin DT-6-6-2000m 924, rebuilt with EMD engines and hoods, poses at Waukegan, Illinois on June 29, 1967. It appears that Sheridan Road is being constructed into its expressway configuration in the background.

I have been keeping this image in my folder for flickr upload for quite some time. I was contemplating with the photographic value of it as it requires less challenge to come up with the image like this.
But, on the other hand, to spot something like this is not an everyday thing. When it happens, it happens. On top of it, I in particular actually do like this image for the configuration of its branches and the silhouette of it with the cloud formations in the backdrop.
The first thing came across my mind when I saw this dead tree, I was thinking of mind-mapping as it is analogous to the way we would draw mind-map when we are working on projects. I don’t know whether you practice mind-mapping or not to streamline your ideas to make it clear on the flow of it and to break down into its details – but I do.
What do you see in this image?

Thanks to Dennis Qiu, Staven Andersen, Graven Jung.
Special Thanks to my beloved wife for the wings :)
The configuration is not Kessie's. The shape of her back/shoulder doesn't look right. Could this be a different female American Kestrel (Falco sparverius)? In the old birch snag on the east side of Thomson Brook, Kelowna, BC.
For those wondering, yes, I removed (digitally) the diagonal 'prong' that is shown in the older photo below in order to simplify the photo.

I've been making interchangeable attachments with 1/32 inch connectors since 2012, and rarely show off the various scopes. This SASS mod fits nearly all of my scopes, so here are some of my favorite configurations.
A picture of one configuration of my 'deep sky' equipment in use at Hawker. Nikon D810A and 300mm f2/8 VR, Canon 7Dmk2 and 300mm f2.8 L non IS, home made mounting rail system on a Losmandy dovetail plate, also with an Orion 50mm guidescope for autoguiding with ZWO camera. Celestron CGEM2 Goto EQ mount. Very dry on this night so no dew heating required. Both cameras controlled by Astro Photography Tool, guiding by PH2. I added a light to show the equipment but without that light the cameras are in a shadow of the sodium vapour street lamp lighting the trees in the background.
Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden is a large park with an eminent garden in Shinjuku and Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan. It was originally a residence of the Naitō family in the Edo period. Afterwards, it became a garden under the management of the Imperial Household Agency of Japan. It is now a park under the jurisdiction of the national Ministry of the Environment.
The shogun bequeathed this land to Lord Naitō (daimyo) of Tsuruga in the Edo period who completed a garden here in 1772. After the Meiji Restoration the house and its grounds were converted into an experimental agricultural centre. It then because a botanical garden before becoming an imperial garden in 1879. The current configuration of the garden was completed in 1906. Most of the garden was destroyed by air raids in 1945, during the later stages of World War II. The garden was rebuilt after the war.
The jurisdiction over the Imperial Palace Outer Garden and the Kyoto imperial garden was transferred to the Ministry of Health and Welfare (now part of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare) in 1947.
On May 21, 1949 the garden became open to the public as "National Park Shinjuku Imperial Gardens". It came under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of the Environment in January 2001 with the official name "Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden".
Each of the modules has at least 3 connection points to create numerous combinations throughout the nation. All of them start with the command center and the auxiliary modules are attached to varying points. The three different options shown are just a few of the possibilities.
An idea I've tinkered with in the past, a flight mode for Arthur's personal vehicle/a flash forward of The Empress' future in the age of flying cars.
The quadcopter design I've used has always been inspired by Roland Skof-Peschetz's beautiful Quadcopter concepts and blew it out of the water again with his fantastic Ferrari Quadcopter design www.flickr.com/photos/rpeschetz/49703750387/in/faves-9757...
The USS Jefferies’ unique four nacelle configuration allows her to make headway through otherwise unnavigable nebulae. A small secondary starship Mary-Ann allows planetary landing; transporters being dangerously unstable in a nebula field.
I built two other Star Trek style ships and then decided to go for broke with a bigger, less conventional, more dramatic and all out bad-ass design. There was a lot of engineering involved to work out the internal framework of technic that holds up the saucer and the huge angled wings, plus I had to balance the warp nacelles so they don't droop. I also went nutty with the LEDs lighting up just about everything that could be lit and 3D printed some special pieces for the photon torpedo launchers. Really pleased with the colour scheme and the overall appearance which is really rooted in the Star Trek aesthetic but spun out in a cool new direction.
A team working on NASA’s Psyche spacecraft transitioned it from a vertical to a horizontal test configuration during prelaunch processing inside the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on May 9, 2022. The mission is targeting an Aug. 1 launch atop a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy. The spacecraft will use solar-electric propulsion to travel approximately 1.5 billion miles to rendezvous with its namesake asteroid in 2026. The Psyche mission is led by Arizona State University. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which is managed for the agency by Caltech in Pasadena, California, is responsible for the mission’s overall management, system engineering, integration and testing, and mission operations. Maxar Technologies in Palo Alto, California, provided the high-power solar electric propulsion spacecraft chassis. NASA’s Launch Services Program (LSP), based at Kennedy, is managing the launch.

There's maybe a handful of operations at best that can sport a pair of GP9s running nose to nose as was so common in the post steam era, but the Ashland Railway is one of them. Willard to Ashland train WT-1 heads south through Shelby, OH with its pair of former PRR GP9s providing the power. In the background is the old Shelby Municipal Power Plant, which at one time was a locally owned coal fired plant that supplied 2/3 of the city with electricity.
The four configurations of cardinal buoys indicate the safe side
of a danger with an approximate bearing. For example, the North cardinal buoy has safe water on its North and the danger on its South side.
Les quatre configurations de bouées cardinales indiquent le côté sûr d'un danger avec un relèvement approximatif. Par exemple, la bouée cardinale nord a de l'eau sûre sur son côté nord et le danger sur son côté sud.
De vier configuraties van kardinale boeien geven de veilige kant aan van een gevaar met een benaderende peiling. Zo heeft de Noord-kardinale boei veilig water aan de noordzijde en het gevaar aan de zuidzijde.

RAF Supermarine Spitfire MkVc G-IBSY EE602 DV-V 129 Squadron
Service history
Built in 1942: EE602 was built by Westland in Yeovil, Somerset, with a "C" wing configuration that could carry a mixed armament of cannons and machine guns.
66 Squadron: The Spitfire began its operational career with No. 66 Squadron.
129 (Mysore) Squadron: EE602 was transferred to No. 129 Squadron in February 1943. While with this squadron, it was formally presented on May 31, 1943, as a "presentation Spitfire" funded by the British expats of the Uruguayan railways.
Memphis Belle escort: While serving with 129 Squadron, EE602 escorted the famous B-17 Flying Fortress Memphis Belle on its 25th and final mission, on May 17, 1943.
453 Squadron RAAF: The aircraft later flew with No. 453 Squadron of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), carrying the squadron codes 'FU-?'.
Damaged: EE602's service life ended on July 17, 1943, when it was damaged in a flying incident. The pilot bailed out safely, and the aircraft was officially written off.
Restoration and civilian life
Restoration: The Spitfire underwent a meticulous restoration that lasted over three years.
First post-restoration flight: EE602 flew again on May 15, 2015.
Civilian registration: In its airworthy state, the Spitfire was given the civilian registration G-IBSY.
Current status: G-IBSY is operated by Fighter Aviation Engineering and is based at Sywell Aerodrome and IWM Duxford, wearing its authentic 129 Squadron markings and DV-V squadron codes.

And yes, when I’m not staring at the clouds, I’m surviving Orville’s rants over on YouTube 😂 [www.youtube.com/@AngryOrville]
A shot from an upcoming timelapse video featuring Mechelen.
Theme: Spooktober with a wonderful single malt.
Model: Gustave
We brought our own bench to the biggest park of Mechelen on a sunny Sunday afternoon.. and a Lament Configuration.
BTW. Yes focus is on the glas. You'll understand when seeing the video.
(Thx to both assistents!)

Soldier Configuration - 2Rd / 2Rh / 2W
Imbrium Lunokhod Industries Model VS-M/S-71 'Degei' - The next evolution of the Imbrium Lunokhod Industries Frame System, the Degei takes the lessons learned during the development of the VS-A-GR5K 'Krivlyaka' and applies the well loved stylings that made the VS-MX-04 'Rangi' and the VS-M/A-Z9A 'Muku' such a success. The Degei is a versatile assault frame perfect for space-based interdiction and other zero-g tactical operations.
From a design perspective, the frame fits perfectly into the 7P scale and aligns with the desired aesthetic. Unfortunately, the thigh joints that worked so well on the Krivlyaka were very fragile when paired with a stiff ankle joint. Additionally, the design of the shoulder joint didn’t add enough range of motion to justify the parts usage. Finally, the hip/waist connection was too loose, even with a friction pin which made it difficult to find stable footing.
If I was going to revise this build, I think I would start with the ankles. A looser and more scale-conventional joint (using a pneuma-T or tap) would probably work better in the long run.
