What does it take to measure the speed of light...
Finally decided to go on an adventure mood, climbing all over the pedestrian bridge and than thanks to the Govt. for putting these yellowish / orangish street lights that just gives a sense of cars on fire perhaps Mission Impossible!!!
Hope you love it!!!
Best viewed with black background:
Recent acquisition, the new Impossible camera.
So far, very happy with the black & white film; the colour, under test, less predictable, but potentially useful so long as you banish from your mind the glorious Polaroid films of old...
Aircraft History
The transportation of oversized cargo has always been a tremendous problem for logistics planners in government and private industry. The physical limitations of railroad tunnels, narrow roads, low bridges and power lines make overland shipment of such cargo virtually impossible. NASA was particularly vexed by this problem during the early years of America’s space race, when large rocket parts destined for Cape Kennedy had to be shipped by barge through the Panama Canal or Gulf of Mexico. This amounted to a significant investment in time during a period where we had little to spare.
In 1961, California-based Aero Spaceline Industries solved this problem when it introduced the first Guppy aircraft. Built from a heavily modified KC-97 Stratotanker, the Pregnant Guppy featured the largest cargo compartment of any aircraft ever built. At just over 19’ in diameter, this massive cavity was specifically designed to carry the second stage of a Saturn rocket for the Apollo program. Because of the Pregnant Guppy, NASA was able to deliver crucial oversized cargo to the Cape in eighteen hours as opposed to 18 to 25 days aboard a barge. To say that this amazing aircraft helped America win the space race would be an understatement!
The program was so successful that ASI followed up with an even larger version of the aircraft in 1965. Dubbed the Super Guppy, it was equipped with a 25’ diameter cargo bay, more powerful engines, a pressurized cockpit, and a hinged nose for easier loading of cargo. ASI continued to own and operate the aircraft until 1979, when NASA purchased the aircraft from them. During its illustrious 32 years of service, the original Super Guppy flew over three million miles in support of NASA’s Apollo, Gemini, Skylab, and the International Space Station programs.
The Super Guppy Turbine is the last generation of Guppy aircraft ever produced and only four were ever made. The most important difference between it and its predecessor was the upgrade to more reliable and readily available Allison T-56 turboprops. Operated by Airbus Industries after they were purchased from ASI, the SGTs were used to ferry large A300 fuselage sections throughout Europe during the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s. When Airbus retired its fleet to museums in 1997, NASA was able to acquire SGT number 4 to replace the aging Super Guppy under an International Space Station barter agreement with the European Space Alliance.
NASA’s Super Guppy Turbine continues to support America’s space program today, but with its unique capabilities it has attracted the attention of other government entities as well. In recent years, the Guppy has been working with the Department of Defense and government contractors to move aircraft and large components around the continent, including T-38s for the Air Force and V-22s for the Navy. Although much of the glory of America’s space program may be behind it, the Super Guppy continues to be one of the only practical options for oversized cargo and stands ready to encompass a bigger role in the future.

Camera still needs a few upgrades...but its getting there.
Don't you know how you're feeling?
Breathe in.
Reach out.
The ocean swells.
The ocean keeps me safe.
Don't you know how you're feeling?
Don't you think it's been long enough?
Open your mind before the impossible consumes us all.

Photographing a sunrise in Florida, far removed from what my life used to be, was an impossibility just three short weeks ago. Life can surprise you in the most amazing ways.
What would you make if you could create any shape in the world? Well, designers who have access to 3D printers are currently tackling this exact problem!
3D printers build objects by adding material in successive layers until the shape you want has been made. Engineers designing aeroplanes want to reduce the weight of parts to create more efficient aircraft.
In this image, a lightweight structure called a fractal lattice has been printed. This part uses mathematics to remove material leaving a high strength, low weight structure.
3D printed lattices can be used to replace solid parts reducing the weight of the planes, reducing the fuel required for each journey and reducing the cost of your plane ticket!
We are currently developing new design tools that can help engineers design and make improved parts using shapes that would be impossible to build using anything other than a 3D printer.

You ever have a location that you want to keep a secret, well here is that location for me. I mean, it's not hard to find out where this is located if you have luck on your side, as it seemed with us, but still there is that inner conflict of "where do I say this beautiful waterfall is?".
I will not be doing that though, this is Mystic Falls in Ames, Colorado. Although difficult to see, once you locate the falls from the dirt road leading into Ames, it is pretty easy to bushwack into. Yes, bushwack. There is no clearly defined trail to this waterfall, in fact bring your Chacos because you will be walking up the creek during parts of the 1/8 mile walk from the "parking lot" next to someone's house. You will have to trespass, as you will be walking through someone's property. I don't think anyone was around when we walked through, but if that is an issue, I would advise to not go looking for this waterfall. Mystic Falls is a spectacular sight though, as this canyon is really narrow, and I'm estimating the height of the falls to be around 100ft. Amazing sight! Good luck!
While waiting for clearance through a work authority just ahead, I stopped the Hoosier State so that I could gts of my train splitting the searchlights at MP 91 just south of Monon, IN. Normally if I were moving at track speed this shot would be impossible as the 91.1 signal (facing us) would not have illuminated as it takes a few seconds for the circuits to energize and by that time the train would block the view of the signal.
