This strange aircraft was fitted with a ramjet that produced high thrust with great technical simplicity, albeit only at high speeds. It also had a turbojet engine for the low speed phases. The ramjet then took over and could accelerate the plane to up to 2500 km/h. The pilot was seated in a frustrum-shaped capsule of perspex that could be jettisoned in case of an emergency and would then serve as a rescue pod.

The sun rises over the lagoon Cuicocha, a volcanic crater that nature has turned into a lake. Nice view on the twin islands, the volcanic domes of Wolf and Yerovi Islands, result of subsequent eruptions.
This crater lake was created by a massive phreatic eruption about 3100 years ago.
Caldera is 3 km (2 mi) wide and is located at the foot of Cotacachi Volcano in the Western Cordillera of the Ecuadorian Andes.
Le jour se lève sur la lagune Cuicocha, un cratère volcanique que la nature a transformé en lac. Belle vue sur les îles jumelles, les dômes volcaniques des îles Wolf et Yerovi, fruit d’éruptions ultérieures.
Cette caldera a été crée par une éruption phréatique massive il y a environ 3100 ans.
Le cratère a un diamètre de 3 kms et est situé au pied du volcan Cotacachi dans la cordillère occidentale des Andes équatoriennes.
“Nothing, not one thing, can beat great light for bringing romance to a landscape… Clouds are a landscape photographer’s best friend for so many reasons. One of them has to be the spotlight beam of light they can cast, lighting up a subject. You’ve got to know they can create this beam, and look for where it might be coming.” - Moose Peterson

I arrived here in sunshine and saw dark clouds far off to the north. This system was heading south, and fast. It was on top of L.A. in 25 mins or less and the rain came down hard. It was a good rain though, nicely refreshing and cleansing.

Drilled in 1947 this was Alberta's first oil well. The discovery would be the seminal event in the Canadian oil industry. By the end of 1947, 147 more wells were drilled in the Leduc–Woodbend oilfield resulting in a 300–million-barrel discovery. The original well, Leduc #1, was capped in 1974. It produced 300,000 barrels of oil and 9 million cubic metres of natural gas.
