SEVEN MONTHS ON (14 of 19).
Apartment block development on via Dante Alighieri, Sfrizzoli, (Pettino, L'Áquila (AQ), Abruzzo, Italy) seven months after the L'Aquila earthquake of April 2009 (5 of 6).
Jill (L) and Francesco walk through the development. Much of this was not built to anti-seismic standards even though located less than three hundred metres from a large normal fault in a seismically active area.
Earthquake damage is not visible in this view but can be seen in other pictures in this set. Jill and Francesco are walking towards the active fault plane (see below, and note on picture).
I have given further information about this earthquake, and the legal events arising from it, in the description to my accompanying image in this series, Rubble Trouble. For an interesting perspective on the post-earthquake situation in and around L'Áquila, see this photo and article.
NOTE ON PLACE NAMES.
Flickr Map gives the formal Region name as *Abruzzi" here, but "Abruzzo'" is the correct rendering.
GEOLOGICAL NOTES
In Google Maps Satellite View (and less clearly in the lower resolution Flickr Satellite View), the active fault line runs across this view between the apartment blocks and the NW-SE ridge of higher wooded and rocky ground behind them (see note), and parallel to the main road behind us (via Antica Arischia). The block directly in front was relatively undamaged but the next photo shows large crack pattern in its rear wall.
"The 2009 L'Áquila earthquake occurred in the region of Abruzzo, in central Italy. The main shock occurred at 3:32 local time on 6 April 2009, and was rated 5.8 on the Richter scale and 6.3 on the moment magnitude scale; its epicentre was near L'Áquila, the capital of Abruzzo, which together with surrounding villages [like Pettino here] suffered most damage. There have been several thousand foreshocks and aftershocks since December 2008, more than thirty of which had a Richter magnitude greater than 3.5. The earthquake was felt throughout central Italy; 308 people are known to have died, making this the deadliest earthquake to hit Italy since the 1980 Irpinia earthquake."

According to our geological friends in this area, it is well established that there is an approximately 100-year cycle of earthquakes in the L'Áquila region, and the timing of this one fits with this cycle. Tectonically, this part of the Apennines is in a tensional regime dominated by normal block faulting, and the earthquake was generated along normal faults in and around L'Áquila.

My kids got a paper airplane book at Christmas and they've been going crazy
making lots and lots of planes; my living room looks like an airplane
graveyard :-) This was one of my youngest son's favourites.
Using an electric planer right up to the edge or on rabbets often produces unsatisfactory results, as the machine leaves a lip that has to be removed by hand—unless you have the Festool HL 850 planer. The HL 850 lets you cut flush to an adjacent surface because it can plane across the entire width of the rabbet. Because the planer head is mounted to one side, it sits flush with the opposite side of the planer housing. The retractable side guard makes planing safer, and it swings up and to the side as the rabbet depth increases. Planing up to the edge in deep rabbets is no longer a problem.
hey guy !!!...you took the wrong exit...this here is not the highway...it is a taxiway at the Dubai Airport...!!!!!!
My last flight, onward toward Jacksonville, 15 hours since taking off from Barcelona at noon in Spain.
Ok...It's taken only around 500 photos and 6-7 hours of waiting but I finally have the photo I wanted. Aeroplane flying in front of the moon. The lights on the plane were an unexpected bonus.

Float Planes land on and moor on Quennel Lake's Zuiderzee Campsite. The blue plane in the background was build in 1953 and was recently restored . It is actually a sea plane that docks on the lake so its pontoons aren't always in the salt water. It flies to and from Vancouver B.C. The docks are shared by both planes and the many private boats of the campers.
Experimenting with longer exposures (1/2 second) for each shot in this timelapse. It does appear to make things a little bit smoother. Apologies for the wrong white balance :(
joins snowy plane and night plane variants of the same model.
pretty much all that is left of a once thriving aerospace industry in hatfield.
all that is needed now is for google earth to catch up with the pics since they still show the airfield, with planes.
