Ellsworth Air Force Base (AFB) (IATA: RCA, ICAO: KRCA, FAA LID: RCA) is a United States Air Force base located about 10 miles (16 km) northeast of Rapid City, South Dakota, just north of the town of Box Elder. The host unit at Ellsworth is the 28th Bomb Wing (28 BW) assigned to the Global Strike Command's Eighth Air Force. The 28 BW is one of the Air Force's two B-1B Lancer wings (the other is the 7th Bomb Wing at Dyess AFB, Texas). As of 2017, the 28th Bomb Wing is commanded by Colonel John Edwards; its Command Chief Master Sergeant is Chief Master Sergeant Adam Vizi. A controversial expansion of a bomber training area encompassing the Northern Plains known as the Powder River Training Complex began in 2008. Ellsworth AFB is 10 miles east of Rapid City, S.D. The relationship between Ellsworth and Rapid City was exemplified by Ellsworth's main entrance, a gift from the citizens of Rapid City, constructed to symbolize a B-52 Stratofortress, one of the aircraft formerly flown by the 28th Bomb Wing. This entrance has recently been replaced. The mission of the 28th Bomb Wing is to deliver combat power for global military response. It is divided into the 28th Operations Group, the 28th Maintenance Group, the 28th Mission Support Group and the 28th Medical Group. Ellsworth has a population of about 8,000 military members, family members and civilian employees. Rapid City itself has a population of just more than 62,500. There are about 3,800 military retirees in western South Dakota.

The back of the cap on a bottle of liquid abrasive, the bottle is always clogged when I want to use it and then I have to poke a thick needle through the opening before I can start...
Zerene stack : 40
My daughter-in-law gave me this water bottle as a gift and I saved the container and use it for many things to store in. I like how they included the shape of the bottle on the lid.
Mesures 2 7/8" across
The lid from our olive oil bottle had an illustration on it which I felt made the shot more interesting. I tried the plain vinegar lids but rejected them in favour of this one.
Afternoon reflections, in my stainless pot lids, of the sky light and vaulted ceiling in the kitchen.
Travelling at the moment so having to do with my phone and whatever I can set up in a hotel room! Picture of a rather funky bottle cap in Japan. Taken on a Google Pixel 3a and processed (cropped to macro size and colour removed to get rid of awful room lighting colour) in Snapseed.
A mismatched pair (lid and can) that have been together for some 50 years, I guess. Both components would have been bought by my dad and were then borrowed by one of my brothers to store his collection of half-penny coins.
A different view of the lamp lid I took for Macro Mondays 'lids' theme. I nearly chose this shot, just had a slight preference for the other one.
Bottle cap of the best bitter in the universe -'Black Sheep' and a promotional cap (sombrero?) from a Tequila bottle.
