As a child, I have always had a fascination with airplanes. Perhaps it was because my mother worked at the airport and I spent a lot of time there watching them take off and land while waiting for her to get off of work. I don't know what it is about them, but I find them a beautiful piece of machinery that can take us on fascinating adventures.
I remember how excited I was the first time I visited Yellowknife 20 years ago and got a chance to see float planes up close and personal. It wasn't until this year in Fort Simpson that I got a chance to fly in one.
This image from Yellowknife this summer is one of my favorites. Come aboard and take me to a different land!
At the southern end of the Earth, a NASA plane carrying a team of scientists and a sophisticated instrument suite to study ice is returning to surveying Antarctica. For the past eight years, Operation IceBridge has been on a mission to build a record of how polar ice is evolving in a changing environment.
The information IceBridge has gathered in the Antarctic, which includes data on the thickness and shape of snow and ice, as well as the topography of the land and ocean floor beneath the ocean and the ice, has allowed scientists to determine that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet may be in irreversible decline. Researchers have also used IceBridge data to evaluate climate models of Antarctica and map the bedrock underneath Antarctic ice.

Fruit of London plane (Platanus acerifolia) tree, or actually a ball of smallish fruits.
Owoc platanu klonolistnego (Platanus acerifolia), a dokładniej kula drobnych owocków.
Unbelievable, during my research about the plane wreck I found this. It makes me so sad: icelandmag.visir.is/article/myrdalssandur-sand-beach-famo...
We have a vintage air museum about a mile from us. Sometimes a pilot in a prop plane flies over doing stunt flying with fireworks streaming from his wings. Maybe once or twice a year. We never know when it will happen but his plane has a distinctive sound. I've tried before but this is the best I've done as I got quickly. This is the only shot that shows the plane well and I wasn't sure people would understand these shots without one having the plane in it.
This type of screw nut is called "wing nut" for a good reason.
And when you consider that this is a detail of a wooden plane, you get a plane wing... nut. So, perfect match for this week's theme "wing", right?
Anyway, I'm late to the party, this time around, just a few hours shy of the end of the submission window, so it'll have to do. 😉

Crashed plane on Sólheimasandur beach in Iceland.
Believe it or not, this is not a black and white shot.
