"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."

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.

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 Heroísmo (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 Heroísmo (na ilha açoriana da Terceira), mas uma tempestade impediu-o de concluir a viagem.
I love the curvaceous edges of these propeller-like yellow blossoms! And the darker center seems to set them ablaze!
The stubby stems of the Frangipani hardly predict the delicate curling-edged blossoms that will emerge! Frangipani (or Plumeria) is easy to propagate here in South Florida. During the Spring, simply break off some good-size pieces from a friend's tree... with permission of course... and stick them in the ground. I frequently find discarded cuttings for trash pickup at the curb. Various Frangipani varieties come in pink, white, yellow and lavender so get a few of each if you can.
We have a Frangipani Archway between our house and our neighbors'. And it's in glorious full-bloom right now. Beautiful during the day, at night it's even more beautiful. The smell transports you to another world. Ah! It's no wonder the ever-so-fragrant Frangipani is a prime ingredient in some of the world's finest perfumes and the flower is in the Hawaiian lei.

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 MASTER is the sole Moscrop built tug that is still close to her original design and which still operates with her original steam engine, a Royal Navy World War 1 surplus engine built in 1916. While several of Moscrop’s hulls are still around, they have been heavily modified structurally and all have been re-engined. Moscrop went on to design and build a large number of outstanding wood hulled tugboats for coastal use. He also supervised the construction of the R.C.M.P.’s Arctic explorer, the ST. ROCH.
The MASTER’s original cost is believed to have been around $34,000. Captain Thorsen retained full ownership until 1927 when the Master Towing Company was incorporated and took title of the ship along with a mortgage for $23,000, back to Thorsen. This mortgage was transferred to the Home Oil Company in 1933.
First working for Fraser Mills and later chartered to the Lamb Logging Company, she put in general log and barge towing service from up coast to the mills in False Creek and elsewhere. In 1940, she was purchased by the Marpole Towing Company, joining her sister ship, the R.F.M. The stack was painted with the Marpole colours, black diamonds on a white band on an orange stack. Master wears these colours to this day. The black diamonds, which had been the insignia of the firm since shortly after the turn of the century, signified the towing of coal barges from Vancouver Island to the company’s plant in Coal Harbor, Vancouver.
In 1947, control of the Marpole Towing Company was assumed by Evans, Coleman and Evans – although actual title to the ship was not transferred until 1959. Around 1951, she had become part of the operations of the Gilley Bros. fleet, another subsidiary of Evans, Coleman but her Marpole colours remained unchanged. By 1959, the parent company decided to dispense with its old timers and tied up a clutch of them, including the MASTER, at the mouth of the Brunette River and left them.
Dilapidated and stripped, she was finally put up for sale or scrap, “Where is, as is”, in 1962. Here she was spotted by some members of the World Ship Society of Western Canada, a branch of an English based organization of ship-lovers. They decided to rescue and restore her as a tribute to the tugboat industry of British Columbia. For the full payment of $500, raised quickly among some members, the Society took over the MASTER on August 14, 1962.
Thousands of hours of volunteer labor, scrounged and donated materials, along with money raised by all sorts of means, resulted in the ship being cleaned up and repaired, equipment restored and replaced and steam being raised on April 23, 1963, the first time in several years. The Master now commenced a new career as the Society’s flagship, bringing to the public an awareness of the now vanished era of marine steam.

HC-AXK
Nord 2501D Noratlas

Aerotaxi Ecuatorianos (ATESA) (still in Luftwaffe dayglo and camouflage)
Three ex-Luftwaffe Noratlasses were delivered to ATESA via Riem: HC-AXF and HC-AXG on 3 November 1971 (via Prestwick-Reykjavik), HC-AXK on 29/30 April 1972 (also via Prestwick).
Interestingly, Paninternational’s Boeing 707-123B D-ALAL in the background, impounded at Riem since November 1971 and already registered N8420 at this point, left on the same day as the Noratlas (30 April). The Gulfstream II also visible in the background is Lear Siegler Inc.‘s N711LS.
This German-built Noratlas served with Luftwaffe (West German Air Force) as KA+148, AS+577 and 53+18. It was sold to Aerotaxi Ecuatorianos in 1972. The aircraft was damaged beyond repair and written off when it crashed into trees during go-around at Rio Amazonas, Pastazo, Ecuador on 24 July 1980 (TT2234 hrs).

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.

I travelled to Finland for a week in mid-July when the sunlight was filling the first weeks of summer in those extreme northern latitudes. Together with a friend of mine we left early in the morning by car from Genoa to Milan, from Milan Malpensa Airport to Helsinki-Vantaa, and from there later in the evening we took another flight on board a twin-engine propeller plane to Kajaani Airport. The sun still dominated over the horizon despite one hour to midnight. The sharp reflections of light beneath the clouds were something wonderful, dyeing the countless surfaces of lakes below us like a golden foil. When I stepped off the plane the first thing that struck me was the freshness of the air that enveloped us like a cloak, escaping from one of the hottest and sultry Italian summers of the New Millennium. Shortly after they came to pick us up by jeep and moving towards the North-East for more than 200 kilometers to the destination, very close to the Finnish-Russian border (part of the historical Region of Karelia, currently Kainuu). We skirted lakes and evergreen forests on asphalt and dirt roads through this region named Karelia. The light began to go down the horizon while my desire for adventure increased more and more.
The base was a small house near Martinselkonen Nature Reserve, a sort of B&B but much more hospitable and welcoming. They were 5 days of total dedication to the nature and the sleep-wake cycle was completely inverted; during the hours of the late afternoon, through the night and until the early morning we remained inside the huts, trying to capture the countless moments offered by that kind of totally wild nature, adult bears, cubs, birds of prey, all of this between swamp, forest and lake. We had lunch in the early afternoon and during the night we rested when the sun was high in the sky. The most charming place to photograph was undoubtedly the lake shore, almost a km from the Russian border; to rest inside the hut after hundreds and hundreds of photos taken during the sun down contained the perfection of that day spent with one of my best friends, while outside an almost-midnight sun was about to give way to the shadows of the shortest night I've ever seen so far.

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.
