Detail of the massive propellers that the Airbus A-400M is using.
Captured during the 2023 Melsbroek Open Door, Belgium.
You think winter is your ally? You merely adopted the snow. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see green grass until I was already a man.
This is based on a real thing, believe it or not.
This is a close-up HDR photo of a ship propeller that is a 'public sculpture' on Granville Island in Vancouver. The framing of the light and shadow patterning creates a nicely balanced abstract composition.

Childhood memories!
The innocent fun you could have with those twirly thingies, throwing them up, running after them (kept us fit!), guarding and treasuring your 'best' ones!
I created a propeller with the ‘maple-copters’.
More fun from Studio Indigo, lol.
INFO: Found under a tree in bonnie Scotland.
Maple trees (Acer) produce winged seeds called double samaras, which twirl to the ground in late summer or early fall.
They resemble helicopters in motion, earning them the common name of helicopters or whirligigs.
The seeds vary slightly in size and colouring among species, but all produce winged seeds affectionately called helicopters.
Have a fun day and thank you, M, (*_*)

A propeller (colloquially often called a screw if on a ship or an airscrew if on an aircraft) is a device with a rotating hub and radiating blades that are set at a pitch to form a helical spiral which, when rotated, exerts linear thrust upon a working fluid such as water or air
"When a Common Hippopotamus does a poo, they will paddle their tail back and forth super-fast to flick, spray and spread their poo as far as possible and in all directions.
This behaviour is called 'dung showering' and is very important in hippo social life."
"Dung Shower:- Bull hippos do this behaviour to mark their territory Much like your dog might pee on every single pole - a hippo will use their poo. Other hippos then smell that they are coming into someone else's territory and can decide to compete or to leave."
"Battle of the Poo:- There are times that hippo bulls will approach each other at common territory boundaries to shower and splatter wee and poo over each other in a spectacular and smelly display of dominance - sending a clear message to keep out."

Today, I'm wearing the Tee*fy top and the Reign shoes available at this month's N21! Shorts are by Pixicat, hair by Doux. The stars in this pic are by Fiasco, and the coat, picture, and propeller are by the awesome Blue Sky. (Blue Sky will be opening their in-world store by tomorrow and will ALSO be in 50L Friday!)
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Yeah we'll be counting stars
