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."

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.

Taken at the Gila Memorial airpark. Abandoned in the 1980s, 30 years later there are still a couple of Lockheed PV-2s and Dougles DC-4s left!

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.
German submarine U-995 is a Type VIIC/41 U-boat of Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine. She was laid down on 25 November 1942 by Blohm & Voss in Hamburg, Germany, and commissioned on 16 September 1943 with Oberleutnant zur See Walter Köhntopp in command.
German Type VIIC/41 submarines were preceded by the heavier Type VIIC submarines. U-995 had a displacement of 759 tonnes (747 long tons) when at the surface and 860 tonnes (850 long tons) while submerged.[1] She had a total length of 67.10 m (220 ft 2 in), a pressure hull length of 50.50 m (165 ft 8 in), a beam of 6.20 m (20 ft 4 in), a height of 9.60 m (31 ft 6 in), and a draught of 4.74 m (15 ft 7 in). The submarine was powered by two Germaniawerft F46 four-stroke, six-cylinder supercharged diesel engines producing a total of 2,800 to 3,200 metric horsepower (2,060 to 2,350 kW; 2,760 to 3,160 shp) for use while surfaced, two Brown, Boveri & Cie GG UB 720/8 double-acting electric motors producing a total of 750 metric horsepower (550 kW; 740 shp) for use while submerged. She had two shafts and two 1.23 m (4 ft) propellers. The boat was capable of operating at depths of up to 230 metres (750 ft).
The submarine had a maximum surface speed of 17.7 knots (32.8 km/h; 20.4 mph) and a maximum submerged speed of 7.6 knots (14.1 km/h; 8.7 mph).
When submerged, the boat could operate for 80 nautical miles (150 km; 92 mi) at 4 knots (7.4 km/h; 4.6 mph); when surfaced, she could travel 8,500 nautical miles (15,700 km; 9,800 mi) at 10 knots (19 km/h; 12 mph). U-995 was fitted with five 53.3 cm (21 in) torpedo tubes (four fitted at the bow and one at the stern), fourteen torpedoes, and three anti-aircraft guns. The boat had a complement of between forty-four and sixty
At the end of the war on 8 May 1945 she was stricken at Trondheim, Norway. She was surrendered to the British and then transferred to Norwegian ownership in October 1948. In December 1952 U995 became the Norwegian submarine Kaura and in 1965 she was stricken from service by the Royal Norwegian Navy. She then was offered to the German government for the ceremonial price of one Deutsche Mark. The offer was turned down; but the Boat was saved by the German Navy League, DMB, where she became a museum ship at Laboe Naval Memorial in October 1971.

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, (*_*)

This vessel appears to have broken its anchor cable or connection to a moorage buoy and then blown onto the mud flats in one of the recent wind storms. I have noticed this vessel at anchor within Cowichan Bay in the common anchorage area. As pointed out by Dave Forbes it does not appear to have propeller.
