This is another take from that cloud-free morning at Timmendorfer Strand. The early rise got me some nice opportunities. Hope you enjoy this version!

14th June 2015 - British Aircraft Corporation TSR 2 XR220 taken in the morning sun on a rare outing outside her hangar at the RAF Cosford 2015 airshow.
The Following is taken from the museum website:
Although never developed beyond the prototype stage, the British Aircraft Corporation TSR2 was one of the most exciting and controversial British combat aircraft designs of the 1960s. The cancellation of the project is a subject of great debate to this day.
During the mid 1950s, the increasing sophistication of air defence systems led the RAF to consider the procurement of a high speed, low level strike and reconnaissance aircraft to replace the English Electric Canberra. In October 1957, the Ministry of Supply released the first specification for such an aircraft.
On 1 January 1959 the Ministry of Supply announced a design had been selected for production. Christened the TSR2 (Tactical Strike and Reconnaissance Mach 2), this aircraft was developed by a joint design team. A contract for eleven TSR2 prototypes was concluded on 6 October 1960, the first (XR219) made its maiden flight from Boscombe Down on 27 September 1964.
By 31 March 1965 XR219 had completed twenty-four flights, and a second, the aircraft you see here, was to join the programme. Initial reports indicated that the TSR2 was an outstanding technical success. However political opposition to the project led to it being cancelled from 6 April 1965.
Regno Unito, Northumberland, Craster, Estate 2014
Sulle alte scogliere affacciate sul Mare del Nord, si trovano le rovine del castello di Dunstanburgh. Un tempo era il più grande castello in Northumberland ma oggi ne rimangono solo alcune rovine, come risultato delle molteplici battaglie subite. Il castello fu costruito nel 1313 da Tommaso il Plantageneto che fu poi giustiziato per tradimento dal cugino re Edoardo II. Il boia necessitò di undici colpi di decapitarlo e per questo motivo fantasma del Conte è stato avvistato intorno al castello, con la sua testa maciullata tra le mani e un’espressione di dolore e terrore sul viso. Il castello è associato con la leggenda di Sir Guy. Questi era un cavaliere che giunse al castello di Dunstanburgh, dove un lo accolse e lo introdusse all’interno. Qui s’imbatté in una nobile signora imprigionata all'interno di una tomba di cristallo e sorvegliata da un esercito addormentato. Il mago gli propose di scegliere una spada o un corno da caccia per liberare la donna ed egli scelse in modo non corretto il corno, che svegliò i cavalieri. Sir Guy si ritrovò fuori del castello, e trascorse il resto della sua vita cercando di trovare un modo per tornare dentro.
High upon the cliffs along the North Sea, reside the ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle. It was once the largest castle in Northumberland, but today only fragments of it remain as the result of many wars. The castle was built in 1313 by Thomas Plantagenet who was later executed for treason by his cousin King Edward II. The executioner needed 11 strokes to decapitate Thomas and for that reason the Earl’s ghost has been spotted around the castle carrying his mangled head, with a facial expression still bearing the pain and horror he suffered. The castle has associated with the legend of Sir Guy. Sir Guy was a knight who arrived at Dunstanburgh Castle, where he was met by a wizard and led inside. There he came across a noble lady imprisoned inside a crystal tomb and guarded by a sleeping army. The wizard offered Guy a choice of either a sword or a hunting horn to help free the lady; he incorrectly chose the horn, which woke the knights. Sir Guy found himself outside the castle, and spent the rest of his life attempting to find a way back inside.
Un jour de juin juste avant le coucher du soleil, j'étais là pour admirer la sortie des pêcheurs du port de M'diq pour la nuit, c'étais un magnifique spectacle.

Zag nu weer pasgeboren muskuseendjes lopen met hun trotse ouders
Z’n korte poten en grote voeten, mag de muskuseend zich zeker niet moeders mooiste noemen. Maar aantrekkelijk zijn ze wel, vanwege hun tamme, sympathieke karakter en de geringe eisen die ze stellen
Hoewel ze geen paar voor het leven vormen, is de woerd wel nauw betrokken bij de broed en de opvoeding. Hij blijft in elk geval gedurende een aantal weken bij de moeder en haar kuikens, zoekt met ze naar voedsel en biedt bescherming.
Door hun sterke broedlust worden muskuseenden ook wel gebruikt om de eieren van ander pluimvee, zoals ganzen, uit te broeden.
Opmerkelijk is verder nog het aanpassingsvermogen van deze eenden. Net als ganzen

NOTE: I drove by here in July 2020, five years later to the day, and the silo has finally fallen to the ground. The barn is caving in as well.
The flowers at Spanish Banks Beach in Vancouver are well tended.
Does this look too processed? It does to me. I adjusted whites and blacks just a touch. I brought down highlights quite a bit. Most color adjustments were not touched, but I did adjust luminance on a few hot colors. Comments welcomed.

Have a good weekend ;-)
Two different species of shorebirds sharing the same feeding grounds at Masirah Island, Oman. Why can't human beings live in harmony.
We need peace, hope you guys agree with me.
I just got back home after a long weekend, will comment on your work very soon.
Have a wonderful new week everyone, take care!
Thank you for your visits, faves and comments. Constructive criticism and suggestions are most welcome!

"Our" Canadian Geese have returned and are fighting among themselves for the right to nest on our acreage. The lake is still frozen but is slowly beginning to melt.
So strange that there is no snow!

I’d like to dedicate this shot to a good friend of mine William McIntosh. I have spent the last 4 months shooting as much as I can with Bill and trying to gleen info from him about his weather prediction skills and gain some insight about his frame of mind about photography. He is a master of weather prediction IMHO and I have always admired his tenacity which has netted him some absolutely fantastic captures from Yosemite National Park and the Pacific Northwest. Bill contacted me during the week to see if I was up for a Banzai run to Yosemite Valley as he was predicting a passage in the storm which would provide a high probability of misty/snowy conditions like seen in many of his postings from there. Of course Bill was right on the money as was shown from some of the webcams provided there. But unfortunately I had to decline as I was starting to get sick with the Flu and didn’t want to drag him down with me. Today he contacted me again to see if I was up for some shooting at Corona Del Mar but I was still trying to fight off the Flu and as painful as it was had to opt out again. Later, today, as I was digging through my folder of processed photos I found this shot and the pain of declination returned. Sorry Bill, I was more worried about getting you sick then worsening my own condition. LOL. Thanks for the invite my friend and hope you had a great day at CDM. If you would like to see William’s amazing photography, you can visit his stream here.

Tale of the Take…
This is a side view of the arch found at Corona Del Mar, If you wanted to get a full view through the arch you would need to scramble along the cliffsides base there at a specific tide level, I say specific because if you time it incorrectly you wouldn’t drown but you would have to spend a long, cold night on the rocks or call the Coast Guard to come “fish” you out which carries along an $800 dollar or better rescue charge. I’m still hoping that Bill will show me the specifics of entering here at a time that would be safe to enter and exit during the sunset. See what I mean about his tenacity. :)

Ik was op zoek naar mooie lichtsituaties na een zware regenbui in de grensstreek nabij Poperinge. Het had er blijkbaar hevig huisgehouden en verschillende kleine straten werden afgesloten omwille van wateroverlast. Dit is een kleine weg in Watou richting de Catsberg. Na omzetting naar zwartwit kwam de sfeer beter over dan de originele kleurversie.

Chiudo gli occhi, e sento il tocco gelido del cielo,
sogno di riaprirli e di ritrovarmi in un piccolo paradiso,
e lo sguardo ora si perde, in un candido paesaggio,
non è l’immaginazione e’ il potere magico della neve,
attutisce i rumori con il suo candido manto e mi regala..
un piccolo minuscolo, straordinario sogno.
