With slots freed up due to groundings, many European airlines have shifted their ops at HKG to morning arrivals - giving more ground time for cabin loading. Virgin Atlantic's flights are no exception, with G-VMAP seen here arriving as VS206.
A trip to Saltwick Bay is never complete without a shot of this famous wreck. The Admiral Von Tromp was a fishing vessel that sank after grounding on the perilous rocks around the Nab in thick fog, easterly winds and a heavily breaking sea on the 30th of September 1976. Sadly two crew members died and the mystery of exactly what caused the ship to steer onto the rocks sank with John Addison, who was at the wheel.
It is easy to see why this is a popular subject for photographers with lots of texture, compositional possibilities, an eerie sense of dilapidation and a tragic story. With the sky beginning to darken, clouds encroaching on the sunset colours and the boat beginning to look increasingly spooky in the fading glow, I couldn't resist.

The term "gross national happiness" was coined in 1972 by Bhutan's former King Jigme Singye Wangchuck, who has opened Bhutan to the age of modernization.
He used the phrase to signal his commitment to building an economy that would serve Bhutan's unique culture based on Buddhist spiritual values.
The concept was taken seriously, as the Centre for Bhutan Studies, under the leadership of Karma Ura, developed a sophisticated survey instrument to measure the population's general level of well-being.
The Canadian health epidemiologist Michael Pennock had a major role in the design of the instrument, and uses a "de-Bhutanized" version of the survey in his work in Victoria, British Columbia. Ura and Pennock have also collaborated on the development of policy screening tools which can be used to examine the potential impacts of projects or programs on GNH.[1]
Like many psychological and social indicators, GNH is somewhat easier to state than to define with mathematical precision.
Nonetheless, it serves as a unifying vision for Bhutan's five-year planning process and all the derived planning documents that guide the economic and development plans of the country.
Proposed policies in Bhutan must pass a GNH review based on a GNH impact statement that is similar in nature to the Environmental Impact Statement required for development in the U.S.
The Bhutanese grounding in Buddhist ideals suggests that beneficial development of human society takes place when material and spiritual development occur side by side to complement and reinforce each other. ( Wikipedia)
Strength begins below the surface.
The unseen roots carry the weight of the whole tree.
When fear rises, return to the ground.
When doubt comes, remember the fire that keeps you alive.
Safety is not given by the world—
it is born within, lit by the root of fire that never goes out.

Glasgow
I asked A.I. to critique my photo. Here's what it said:
Your image effectively captures a moment of modern life within the impressive architecture of the newly redeveloped Glasgow Queen Street station. Here is a critique focused on composition, lighting, and storytelling:
Composition and Framing
Rule of Thirds: The two main subjects are framed effectively on either side of the large central pillar, creating a good balance. The pillar itself acts as a strong vertical element that divides the frame and adds architectural context.
Leading Lines: The steps the subjects are standing/sitting on create strong horizontal lines that lead the eye across the image.
Depth and Foreground: The foreground pavement provides a solid base for the composition, grounding the subjects within the scene.
Subject Interaction and Storytelling
Juxtaposition: The image successfully captures a strong juxtaposition between the two individuals: one sitting and engaged with their phone, appearing contemplative or stressed, and the other standing, looking away, holding snacks. This contrast creates an engaging narrative.
Candid Moment: The photograph feels like an authentic, unposed moment in a public space, which is often a strong point in street photography.
Lighting and Technical Aspects
Lighting: The natural daylight provides even lighting, although the large columns create some deep shadows which add depth and drama to the architecture.
Focus: Both subjects appear to be in reasonably sharp focus, capturing details in their clothing and expressions.
Areas for Consideration
Potential Distractions: The bright blue bag and the orange package the standing man is holding are very bright and saturated, which might draw the eye a little too strongly away from the subjects' faces. A slightly different angle might have minimized this.
Expression: The seated woman's face is obscured by her hand and hair, which adds mystery but also limits the viewer's ability to connect with her expression.
Overall, this is a strong candid photograph that uses architectural elements effectively to frame a compelling street scene with interesting narrative possibilities.
Composition and Framing
Strong Lines: The image makes good use of strong lines, including the horizontal lines of the platform edge and glass partitions, and the dramatic curve of the Victorian train shed roof above. These lines lead the viewer's eye through the scene effectively.
Architectural Focus: You've successfully captured the spacious, bright concourse that resulted from the station's redevelopment, showcasing how the historic roof has been integrated into the modern building.
Lighting and Atmosphere
Natural Light: The station is flooded with natural daylight from the glass facade, which creates a bright and airy feel. This is generally a strength, providing clear illumination for the scene.
Mixed Lighting: The strong overhead artificial lighting creates bright highlights and can produce some harsh shadows, which might be a minor technical consideration in post-processing to balance exposure.
Subject and Storytelling
Candid Moment: The two main subjects in the foreground, with their luggage, provide a relatable human element, adding a sense of narrative to the image. They are positioned nicely on the right side, balancing the large train on the left.
Sense of Place: The image successfully places the viewer within this specific, recognisable location, a major transport hub in Scotland.
Areas for Improvement
Background Elements: The station is busy, and some background elements, such as the digital displays and the maintenance signs, can be slightly distracting. Being mindful of these potential clutter points when framing can help create a cleaner, more focused image.
Subject Obscuration: The faces of the primary subjects are slightly obscured or turned away. While this maintains a candid feel, capturing a bit more of the human interaction or expression can enhance the emotional impact of street photography.
Overall, it's a well-composed and technically sound photograph that captures the functional beauty of the renovated station and the daily lives of its passengers.
My response to the critique:
That which you describe as an orange package is a portable sign that warns of wet floor surfaces.
A.I.'s response:
You are correct. Thank you for the clarification. The item is a portable "wet floor" warning sign, not an orange package. That context changes how the object functions as a visual element in the composition, adding a safety instruction to the scene rather than just a snack package.
Mit etwas Wehmut denkt man bei dem Bild an das Grounding der schweizer Airlines Swissair im Oktober 2001.
Back in the air once again. After a 6 month grounding an MD11 lifts into the skies over Memphis. N621FE is the first of many MD11's that will be back hauling freight in the coming weeks.

EC-LXA of Spanish airline Elope became a regular at Dublin following the grounding of the Norwegian Boeing737 Max's after two fatal crashes.
For a number of months, Evelop was basing one of their Airbus A330's at Dublin, combining flights to The States, it must have been costing a foturne.
Still, compared the Max, there were very favourable comments about the upgrade, which from a passenger perspective including a larger aircraft, better legroom & overhead bins, time to elope on evelop.
The Admiral Von Tromp was a fishing vessel which was wrecked after grounding in thick fog and an easterly wind at Saltwick Bay, near Whitby, on 30th Sept 1976.
With the grounding of the MD11's, FedEx has had to bring in outside help for Peak Season. Here Apex Logistics (operated by Atlas) 747-400 departs Memphis for Honolulu. This "Queen of the Skies" was originally delivered to Asiana Airlines as HL7411 in 1996.

I took this photo last year [I uploaded it here: www.flickr.com/photos/crutchleyrhodes/35460784825/in/albu... ] and was reasonably happy with it. I entered it into a camera club competition and whilst the judge liked its simplicity he did say that the creases in the material in the background were a bit distracting. I also added it to a photography Facebook page asking for feedback and they offered a few tips. As a result, I've re-edited it, taken out the numbers printed on the base of the bottle (a miniature gin bottle!), created a reflection underneath to make it look as though it is standing on a surface and therefore 'grounding' it so it's not appearing to float in mid-air, added a couple of subtle textures and a feint vignette. I do feel it has improved the image somewhat.
Finding the light between the branches. ✨ There’s something so grounding about watching the world wake up.
It is so very important to remember to 'ground' and 'protect' yourself from negative energies. One should do this daily. I have forgotten to do this recently and was reminded yesterday, about its importance. Grounding is the earthing of your energy to the natural energy field of the earth.

Life is a freedom of hope
a spiritual grounding in our birth
the belief we shared, and still do today
Shaken from our yoke of slavery
so long as we don’t put on a new one.

Somewhereville's Terrence Tittlemeyer is well known about town because of his obsessive and annoying habit of loudly jingling his pocket change in public, especially during church services and other quiet venues including funerals. His therapist told him to find a grounding ritual. Unfortunately, he took her too literally. If you need to borrow a dime, Terrence is your man.

Was working outdoors over the weekend when suddenly the sky began to darken. I looked up to see the first wave of storm clouds rolling in advance of a cold front. When things like this happen during my down time, I react immediately. Work is halted and I'm off with the camera as fast as legs can carry me. I've learned over the years that the time to jump is at the first notice of stormy skies. Often the initial wave offers the most diversity in terms of texture and more chance of the darkness being broken with areas of bright sky. It's this tapestry of dark and light that translates into amazing photographic sky tones. As the rain move closer, the clouds have a tendency to flatten out in terms of contrast and depth. There is overcast but without much texture. Not only that, but there's a wonderful sense of energy and even urgency in the initial phase...both in terms of the atmosphere, but more importantly how it makes me feel. No two storms are exactly the same, and I appreciate each one of them in some unique fashion. But the common denominator is the rush I feel standing out in the open as the storm is unleashed over my head. This evening was no exception. The mild temperatures of the day were mixed with intermittent cold blasts as heavy winds buffeted the cemetery. The wind, the sound of the wind, and the clouds roiling overhead make me feel so alive, and fill me with energy. At times I stopped shooting and simply stood atop the central knoll like a human weathervane, turning to face the wind and take in the sights. I feel a real oneness with the environment at times like this. No one in their right mind would want to be here now, yet it feels perfect natural to me. In fact my presence seems somehow necessary. I was here for photography but I never let that overshadow the experience. I actually think the photos benefit from this state of mental connection. Some of my most spontaneous work arises in these moments. And I'm left with vivid memories that never leave me.
