Long time readers of my photoblog may remember that I did a set of images from around the Olympic Park in London while we were hosting that magnificent event. Those who take far too big an interest will also remember my image of Orbit. If you do remember these things then, please, stop paying so much interest in me. It’s a little creepy to be honest…what’s next, telling me that you know what time I shower in the morning?
Just kidding, of course.
I don’t shower.
Anyhoo – this is my exiting Orbit via the staircase after enjoying the sights of London from the viewing area which is at the top of it. It’s the place I was while taking yesterday’s image of the skyline and rain over London.
I’m off to Beijing tomorrow for a week of work followed by a few days leisure. I’ll be scheduling Monday – Friday posts to go up on my photoblog site so check me out there if you stalkers don’t want to miss my daily updates.

A gigantic installation work by Tomás Saraceno, entitled “in orbit,” has been assembled in the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen. At a height of more than 20 meters above the piazza of the K21 Ständehaus, Saraceno has suspended a net construction within which visitors can move, apparently weightlessly. This highly contemporary safety net, which covers altogether 2500 m², spreads itself out across three levels below the massive glass cupola of the K21. The levels are held apart from one another by a series of “spheres,” airfilled PVC balls measuring up to 8.5 meters in diameter.
Die Konstruktion aus Stahlnetzen, die in drei Ebenen unter der gewaltigen Glaskuppel aufgespannt ist, schwebt in mehr als 25 Metern Höhe über der Piazza des K21. Innerhalb der insgesamt 2.500 Quadratmeter umfassenden Netzstruktur sind ein halbes Dutzend "Sphären", luftgefüllte Kugeln von bis zu 8,50 Metern Durchmesser, platziert. Besucher können die transparente Installation betreten und sich auf den drei Ebenen zwischen den Kugeln frei bewegen.
As those at BFVA got a chance to see first hand, CAC has some new colors available and will be posted later today.
These are just some of the combos I was playing around with. ^_^
I was lucky enough to get tickets to see some athletics at the stadium in Straford. As I was leaving I quickly to this, not perefect but I love the sky here!

Inspired by Gordon MacKenzie's book "Orbiting the Giant Hairball." Either that or I just wanted to play.
ESA’s new Sun exploring spacecraft Solar Orbiter launched atop the US Atlas V 411 rocket from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida, at 04:03 GMT (05:03 CET) on 10 February 2020. An ESA-led mission with strong NASA participation, Solar Orbiter will look at some of the never-before-seen regions of the Sun, such as the poles, and attempt to shed more light on the origins of solar wind, which can knock out power grids on the ground and disrupt operations of satellites orbiting the Earth. The spacecraft will take advantage of the gravitational pull of Venus to adjust its orbit to obtain unprecedented views of the solar surface.

Since its construction I've found the Orbit a bit marmite to say the least. It's the largest sculpture in the UK but looks fundamentally at odds with what's around it.
Today I finally went to the top. The sculpture once inside is actually really great, the use of materials, the mirrors and the general atmosphere.
The views across London are wonderful. We were also told that a slide is being installed in Spring/Summer next year. That I cannot wait for !

Quand on regarde par un hubot, de nuit, et qu’on laisse ses yeux s’habituer à l’obscurité, des millions d’étoiles apparaissent et le spectacle est incroyable, d’une beauté à couper le souffle. On réalise vraiment qu’on est à bord d’un vaisseau spatial qui navigue dans le cosmos (enfin… ça me paraît tellement dingue que même moi je ne réalise pas toujours vraiment, en fait 😉). C’est naturel de se focaliser sur la Terre quand on prend des photos depuis la Station : la Terre est immense, magnifique, et juste devant la plupart des hublots… mais la beauté du cosmos peut parfois rivaliser, sous peine qu’on sache la voir… et la photographier !!
When you let your eyes adapt to the night, you start seeing millions of stars and it’s amazing. It really feels like flying on a spaceship into the cosmos… of wait… that’s what we do ;) You always tend to focus on Earth when you take pictures from the International Space Station, because it’s right there in front of you when you look out the window, in all its splendour and diversity, but there’s also a lot of beauty in the cosmos itself, it’s just harder to see (and to photograph) at first.

I took a number of shots of the ArcelorMittal Orbit Tower while they tested the lights. This shot is similar to one posted before, but this shot is more about the tower and less about the light streaks. Taken slightly earlier that evening :-)

A model of the Juno spacecraft is seen while a video is shown about the collaboration between Apple Inc. and NASA that serves to enhance NASA's efforts to inform and excite the public about dramatic missions of exploration like Juno, on Thursday, June 30, 2016 at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, CA. The works resulting from this collaboration showcase exploratory sounds from artists who have been inspired by Juno and other NASA missions, including Brad Paisley, Corinne Bailey Rae, GZA, Jim James featuring Lydia Tyrell, QUIÑ, Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross, Weezer and Zoé. The Juno mission launched August 5, 2011 and will arrive at Jupiter July 4, 2016 to orbit the planet for 20 months and collect data on the planetary core, map the magnetic field, and measure the amount of water and ammonia in the atmosphere.

'CEG Orbit' approaches Barton on the Manchester Ship Canal, bringing a load of Irish Cement from Drogheda. This was her third trip this year to Premier Cement at Weaste. She has had a repaint since February: bright red has replaced blue.
She's a classic 'low air draught' coaster designed to fit under low bridges on navigable rivers in Europe, but these days tends to potter around the Irish Sea on a variety of duties.

The ArcelorMittal Orbit stands tall as the UK’s tallest sculpture, part of the Olympic legacy that transformed East London, and a landmark in its own right, transfixing and delighting visitors with its offer of a unique view of the city.
I recently got an awesome oppertunity to shoot onstage with Orbital, the only problem was that as it was being televised I only had 90sec on stage to capture the one shot I had been planning since I got offered the gig.
Armed with my trusty camera, I had to make a gamble with the lens, setting, and monopod set up. Slung the whole lot over my head and went for it!
After the alloted time I crept away into the darkness like some sort of photo ninja! ha it was awesome!
What a RUSH!!!
