An HDR photo taken right before sunrise. Horseshoe Bend has become popular among Instagram and other social media users in recent years; its proximity to the town of Page, in northern Arizona next to Glen Canyon Dam, also puts it on the map.
My stay in the Page area is part of my first visit to the less crowded North Rim of the Grand Canyon, which is only open during summer, as part of a socially distanced road trip during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic.
This is the Handley Page Victor, the famous British Cold War Strategic Bomber/Tanker that I made with LEGO bricks.
After I built the Vickers Valiant (the first of the “V-Bombers”) in Micro-scale, I decided to build the Handley Page Victor as well which was the last Strategic Bomber developed by the United Kingdom during the Cold War to enter service.
While the Valiant used a slightly swept wing to achieve high speeds, the Victor used a revolutionary crescent-shaped swept wing, based on the ideas developed by German scientists during the Second World War.
For a short period of time, the Victor was able to fly higher and faster than many first generation fighters.
However, with the development of Surface to Air Missiles like the SA-2 Guideline, it became a suicide mission to fly over Soviet territory (even at high altitudes), so the Victor started to perform low altitude missions to evade radar detection.
This however led to extensive metal fatigue, which forced the Victor´s removal from the Strategic Bombing role. The airframes were then converted into Strategic Tankers and reconnaissance planes, a role that it performed extremely well until 1993.
During it´s long service as a tanker, it was used to refuel the Avro Vulcan bomber that performed the Black Buck raids against the Falklands as well as refuel Tornado Strike Planes during the First Gulf War.

Yesterday I gave a little peak. Today the full page because I love how things came together. All the elements used in my bulky blue book are on this page in an understated way. Really happy all the work that I've done the last four months.

About this image:
A widefield mosaic of M8 and M20. This is a dense region of stars, interstellar dust clouds, and dark nebulae, reflection nebulae and emission nebulae.
The Trifid Nebula (M20)
The Trifid Nebula, a star-forming region in the Scutum spiral arm of the Milky Way Galaxy. The Trifid Nebula (M20, Messier 20 or NGC 6514) is an H II region located in Sagittarius. Trifid means 'divided into three lobes'. The object is an unusual combination of an open cluster of stars; an emission nebula (the red portion), a reflection nebula (the blue portion) and a dark nebula (the apparent 'gaps' within the emission nebula that cause the trifurcated appearance; these are also designated Barnard 85).
The Lagoon Nebula (M8)
The Lagoon Nebula (M8, Messier 8 or NGC 6523), a giant interstellar cloud in the constellation Sagittarius. The Lagoon Nebula is estimated to be between 4000 - 6000 light-years from Earth in the Milky Way Galaxy, and is classified as an emission nebula.

Billions of stars...
The size, distance and age of the Universe is far beyond human comprehension. The known Universe is estimated to contain over One Billion Trillion stars (the latest estimates are substantially higher).

Please join the campaign, if you do not like the proposed new flickr layout.
Beta is a test preview of the change that is getting ready to be implemented soon. It can be for a limited group of flickr members, intended to seek feedback and correct faults ( if any), before it is made public.
Change is good and public has always welcomed good changes. The preference for Windows XP by most people even after the introduction of Vista is a classic example of public acceptance. The public liked and preferred the predecessor ( Windows XP ) and the follower ( Windows 7 and Windows 8 ) versions of Vista. A change is good and often gladly welcomed by public, if it provides more utilities and user friendliness, without depriving even a single advantage of the predecessor.
The Beta version is unacceptable to the majority of Flickr users* ( who happened to experience it ) , because it's not user friendly and has only disadvantages to mention. *Please check the Beta feedback : Completed / Top ideas / Hot ideas
The layout itself is a disaster. Please check : Try our new photo experience beta / Comment box
However they try, it's quite evident that it's impossible to provide more space for descriptions, comment box, and comments; not to mention comments with pictures , group invites / awards. The more they try to fix it, the more cumbersome it becomes. The buddy icons now appear as dots making the page more unaesthetic than what you see in the earlier pictures of beta . They are desperately trying to make it appealing and user friendly, which is literally impossible with the proposed layout .
It's a big challenge for the programmers to try find means to provide more space in a vertical column which is already cramped.
