Ravenswood, Ipswich
Formation by Rick Kirby, 2003.
'Five spires rise out of an octagonal base shape between which are suspended six roughly life-size female figures joined and angled as if flying in close formation. The sculpture is surrounded by eight small black posts.
The spires were inspired by a War War 2 poster remembered from childhood showing 'a formation of planes caught in the criss cross of search lights.' The female figures represent the women pilots who flew fighter planes during the war from factories to the aerodrome at Ravenswood. As well as commemorating the past the sculpture also symbolizes community spirit.'

#76 IMSA Performance Matmut Porsche 911 GT3 RSR and the #72 SMP Racing Ferrari F458 Italia driving in formation at the 4 Hours of Silverstone ELMS
The very first air show I go to and it goes without a hitch. Amazing aerobatics, stomach churning daredevilry and some smooth displays made for a wonderful day.
The show concluded with the spectacular performance from the Blue Angels team with their 6 FA 18s. Flybys with a really small margin of error provided for some exciting photography.
These two shots illustrate two of their formations they held during the flybys around the grandstands. Though from this perspective, I really cant tell how close they were to each other

A prominent rock formation in the Black Range. New Mexico 152 winds its way from Santa Clara through the Black Range, passing by Kingston and on to Hillsboro, before intersecting with I-25 south of Truth or Consequences.

Mudshale clasts in conglomerate in the Pennsylvanian of Ohio, USA.
This outcrop in southern Ohio exposes the lowermost Pottsville Group, a Pennsylvanian-aged, cyclothemic succession in eastern Ohio that contains nonmarine shales, marine shales, siltstones, sandstones, coals, marine limestones, and chert ("flint"). The lower Pottsville dates to the late Early Pennsylvanian. The upper part dates to the early Middle Pennsylvanian. The Lower-Middle Pennsylvanian boundary is apparently somewhere near the Boggs Member (?).
At this site, the basal Pottsville is a spectacular quartz-pebble conglomerate, with a quartzose sandstone unit above it, plus coal and shale above that. The latter two units are visible, but not easily accessible for examination.
In eastern and northeastern Ohio, the conglomeratic base of the Pottsville Group is called the Sharon Conglomerate (a.k.a. Sharon Sandstone; Sharon Formation; Sharon Member). The literature points out that the Sharon elsewhere in Ohio is not directly correlatable with the conglomerate exposed at this site near Jackson, Ohio. Thus, it has been suggested that the unit at this locality be referred to as the "Sharon" Conglomerate.
Here, the rocks are generally massive (= non-bedded) quartz-pebble conglomerates. Other clast lithologies and sizes are also present, including angular shale clasts, angular sandstone clasts (both derived from erosion of the underlying Logan Formation of Early Mississippian age), rounded to irregularly-shaped ironstone clasts, rounded quartz sandstone pebbles, rounded quartzite pebbles, and rounded silicified limestone pebbles. A very unusual clast type present at this outcrop is ferruginous, pyrite-cemented and hematite-cemented, quartz-pebble conglomerate (= conglomerate in conglomerate ! ).
The dark gray-colored areas in this photo are mudshale paleoclasts, derived from the underlying Logan Formation.
