The view of Seattle WA across Elliott Bay from West Seattle. More commonly, this view is photographed from just left of the Space Needle to the right of the main city. For this outing, I wanted to include more of the total Seattle area by incorporating the northwest peninsula as well. The shot consists of five vertical photos stitched into a panorama.
While working out a final crop, placing the Space needle dead center seemed to give it a central focal draw that worked, and the symmetry and shapes of the left and right land masses remind me of a giant landscape propeller, so to speak, thus the the tittle of the photo.
Thank you for visiting.
"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."

This propeller belonged to a Greek cargo ship named Summer Breeze, which ran aground near Povoação, on the south coast of São Miguel on December 12th, 1977. It was supposed to deliver maize from Lisbon to Angra do HeroÃsmo (on the Azorean island of Terceira) but a storm didn't let it complete the voyage.
Esta hélice pertencia ao cargueiro grego chamado Summer Breeze, que encalhou ao largo da Povoação, na costa sul de São Miguel, a 12 de Dezembro de 1977. Era suposto levar milho de Lisboa até Angra do HeroÃsmo (na ilha açoriana da Terceira), mas uma tempestade impediu-o de concluir a viagem.

An #Orange propeller from my Quad Copter, an FPV Racer.
These propellers is made of plastic and replaced quite often like consumables because it breaks easily.
That is because the very small motors below them turns them at around 25000 RPM. The Quad has 4 of these to fly with.
This specific one is a FPV racer Quad Copter.

The engine and propeller, in the garden of The Pilot Dungeness is one of four Wright/Cyclone engines and propeller from a WW11, B17 Flying Fortress bomber (the same aircraft as The Memphis Belle). The artefact was accidentally snagged off Dungeness on the 18th of September 2017, by Joe Thomas and Tom Redshaw (local fishermen). The engine is almost certainly from a well documented B17 Flying Fortress that ditched off Dungeness in 1944. The Sleepytime Girl was on a daytime bombing raid, on an aircraft factory over Oberpfaffenhofen in Germany. The aircraft suffered heavy flak damage over Germany and all four engines stalled. The crew dived the B17 to 5,000 feet and managed to restart the damaged engines. The crew then had a vote and opted to strike back towards the safety of Britain, rather than trying to make it to Switzerland, which was closer.
At 5,000 feet the B17 was a sitting duck and was repeatedly attacked over France, where two German ME-109’s further damaged the aircraft, knocking out three of the four engines. Amazingly, the remaining crew managed to limp the aircraft back over The Channel on a single engine, where they ditched it off Dungeness. Only four of the original crew of ten were left alive and were rescued by an Air Sea Rescue Walrus (an amphibious biplane). The Co-Pilot William Nesen, received a posthumous Purple Heart. It’s difficult to imagine how these incredibly brave men in their teens and early 20’s, could submit themselves to a virtual death sentence on a daily basis. Please take a few moments to reflect on the extraordinary sacrifices that were made for us, in order to free occupied and oppressed peoples and to ensure our own freedom and way of life.
The sun's rays seems to twirl to the left contrasting with the water, swirling to the right.
The wind suddenly picked up...the slight list to the boat masts and the water movement endorse the force.

This propeller was made from walnut wood in the early days of American aviation.It is believed that it became cracked during a "hard landing" crash in 1928 at the Barren Island Airport operated by Paul Rizzo on land that later became Floyd Bennett Field.
Floyd Bennett Field was opened as New York first municipal airport on May 33rd,1931.Throughout the 1930s it was the site of many important first and record-breaking fights,which helped to advance aviation technology during the "Golden Age of Aviation."In 1941 Floyd Bennett Field was sold to the United States Navy and became Naval Air Station-New York.During WW2,Floyd Bennett Field was the busiest naval air station in the United States.The field was used for training and antisubmarine patrol flights.It was also the home of the Naval Ferry Command which was responsible for the acceptance,commissioning,and ferrying of naval aircraft from the factories to the fleet.
Took this image out of the airplane window on the last leg of my arrival from Munich to Zagreb. I wanted to capture the propeller in motion and the clouds way below and the awesome jet trails in the sky above. Hope you all like it my friends.
Thanks for your friendship and support on my work in Photography.

This Brass Propeller was seen in The Lifeboat Boathouse at Filey ..It was presented by Filey Town Council in recognition of 200 Years of Lifeboats on service at Filey....1804-2004..
An old screw (propeller) from the past sits at the base of the bridge. It has been graffitied and has withstood the ravages of time and sea. Once upon a time, this was the site of Victoria Tug and Barge Ltd. They had both ocean going and harbour tugs in their fleet. I guess only locals know about this (like me).
