We got outside and played ball with Shizandra before the snow starts. We are in for a big storm!
I have been quite busy with the last month of my summer semester. But here are a few quick pics of the Coast Guard rescue swimmers conducting exercise with the new Heavy-duty Rescue Helicopter (60166). Enjoy.
I have been on a project lately, getting out and becoming better acquainted with Portland's bridges. It has been a healthy exercise because many of Portland's bridges I have not photographed much, even though there is certainly plenty to see. This evening I found myself watching the evening set up for a beautiful show and knew of this location under the Fremont from photographing a few days before. Had actually wandered down here some time ago, just had forgotten about it... So hiked through northwest and got pinhole set up and enjoyed the scenery. It is amazing sometimes how I can be completely drained after a day of work, with seemingly no energy left, hungry for dinner, and all that is forgotten in a moment once I wander into a scene like this with a camera. In fact I came away feeling better than if I had just taken an hour or two long nap. Now if only I could figure out how to work that magic on my stomach...
I do not think I am going to be giving up the St Johns Bridge anytime soon as my favorite or most photographed bridge of Portland, but is nice to be able to post photos of some other bridge too. ;-) Made with my Zero Image pinhole, Fuji Reala film and about 30 seconds of exposure.
When you're looking at life,
In a strange new room,
Maybe drowning soon,
Is this the start of it all?
Turn on your TV,
Turn down your pulse,
Turn away from it all,
It's all getting too much.
When you're looking at life,
Deciphering scars,
Just who fooled who,
Sit still in their cars,
The lights look bright,
When you reach outside,
Time for one last ride,
Before the end of it all.

Shizandra always does this whenever we exercise on the floor. She wants to be a part of what is going on.
My daily exercise and brief respite from lockdown today comprised a very short walk from my front door. I didn’t see another soul, I touched nothing other than my front door handle and paused only for 1/1600 of a second to take the shot. And yes, I washed my hands thoroughly after touching the door handle! 37800 drags two unidentified Class 321/9’s from Crewe South Yard to Clacton. Most freight is using the fast lines just now due to the reduction in passenger services.

Exercise Aurora 23 was aimed at helping Sweden defend itself in case it was ever to come under attack. The exercise took place throughout Sweden, but primarily in the southern parts of the country and on Gotland.
NATO Allies that took part included Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Portugal, UK and US.
They trained alongside the Swedish Army, Swedish Navy, Swedish Air Force and Home Guard. Exercise Aurora 23 ran from 17 April to 11 May 2023.

Pictured are Apache attack helicopters operated by 3 Regiment Army Air Corps during Exercise Talon Gravis. The personnel to the left of the helicopters are REME Armourers waiting to re supply the attack helicopters.
Army aviators have demonstrated the range and power of the punch their Apache attack helicopters can deliver.
Exercise Talon Gravis has seen 3 Regiment Army Air Corps (3 Regt AAC) launch formations of up to eight Apaches from their base at Wattisham Flying Station in Suffolk to find and strike targets on land and at sea more than 300 miles away.
Flying against simulated enemy air defences, missions have ranged from a daylight attack on shipping in the English Channel off Plymouth to hunting armoured vehicles on Salisbury Plain under the cover of darkness.
The Apaches were replenished at a Forward Arming and Refuelling Point (FARP) - the military equivalent of a Formula 1 pit stop – set up at Keevil airfield on Salisbury Plain.
3 Regt AAC’s role is to provide an aviation deep manoeuvre battlegroup – made up of attack, reconnaissance and transport helicopters - to 3rd (UK) Division, the British Army’s high readiness warfighting division.

A paratrooper from C Company, 3rd Battalion Parachute Regiment (3 PARA) fires at a target on Otterburn ranges in Northumberland.
Paratroopers competed against each other to be the best, while celebrating one of The Parachute Regiment's heroes.
The McKay VC Competition saw sections from 3rd Battalion The Parachute Regiment (3 PARA) put through paces around the arduous terrain of the Otterburn Ranges in Northumbria. The contest saw troops in full battle rig take part in a 15km night navigation exercise including stands testing their signalling, medical and parachute packing skills; an assault course; and live fire section attacks.
The competition honours the memory of Sergeant Ian McKay, who was awarded a posthumous Victoria Cross for his "outstanding selflessness, perseverance and courage" during the Falklands War in 1982. Sgt McKay VC was killed during the assault on Mount Longdon when he attacked an Argentine position alone and under heavy fire.
