This image looks at the rear two-thirds of a Krivak I-class (Project 1135 Burevestnik (Storm Petrel in English)) frigate of the Soviet Navy in the northern North Sea in the middle of July 1985.
The frigate, Bodryy (Brisk in English), was the second unit of the class to be built (and the first in Kaliningrad) and was commissioned in 1971. The class were primarily intended for anti-submarine warfare, with only limited anti-air and anti-surface capabilities. Some 21 were built for the Soviet Navy and were followed by 11 of the modified Krivak II class. Bodryy was decommissioned in 1997.
The Krivak Is were 123.5m in length, had a beam of 14.1m and a draught of 4.6m. Powered by four gas turbines in a COGAG arrangement, they could reach 32 kts. There were some 200 men in the crew.
Notable equipments seen above include the variable-depth sonar housing on the stern, two 76.2mm guns and then the housing for one of the two Osa-MA SAM systems (SA-N-4 Gecko in NATO terminology) just behind the funnel. Forward of the funnel is the Owl Screech fire-control radar for the guns and then the MPZ-301 (NATO: Pop Group) fire-control radar for the SA-N-4 SAM. Forward of that on the main deck is one of the two sets of quadruple trainable 533mm torpedo tubes. On the forward superstructure, the highest radar is the Head Net-C air-search radar and just forward of that is a Palm Frond navigation radar. Forward of that is a pair of Drakon (NATO: Eye Bowl radar directors for the URPK-5 (NATO: SS-N-14 Silex) anti-submarine missiles, and another Pop Group for the forward SA-N-4. Finally, two RBU-6000 ASW rocket launchers can be seen on the far right of the image.
At the time of the image Bodryy was participating in the Soviet Navy's last major exercise, Summerex 85. She had escorted a group of amphibious ships out of the Baltic and they were proceeding north. They would eventually round North Cape and the amphibious units conducting a landing on the Kola Peninsula. We (in HMS Boxer) shadowed them through most of that.
In total, some 80 ships and submarines from the Soviets’ Northern, Baltic, and Black Sea fleets were reported to be involved in the exercise. NATO said the Soviet ships were being observed by some 40 ships and submarines, including 17 Royal Navy vessels, as well as by aircraft of various nations.
No! Not even I would be foolish enough to try to take this in the rear view mirror while I was driving -- but that is where I initially saw the view.
I had been driving around, snapping the setting sun in different places. (I got three different views showing a partial sight of the sun just above the horizon.) The traffic was building up for what passes as rush hour hereabouts, and I glimpsed this in my rear view mirror.
I managed to pull up on the verge (hoot! HOOT!), and scamper back. I needed to get to the middle of the road to take this, avoiding the build up of cars, and managed a few shots without too many vehicles showing. I wonder how many drivers thought I was totally mad, and perhaps I was!
This dead tree looks very different at different times of the year, so I have captured it several times as part of my Close To Home project, with the idea that it will help to tie the project together.
It inhabits a very different environment and projects very different moods to the other dead tree in this project.
Today it was positively aggressive, rearing from the floodwaters with malicious intent.

1990 sees Bus Eireann KR 99 in Dingle, County Kerry. This bus was delivered new to CIE in 1985. It became a school bus after 1998 and was withdrawn by 2007.
Most of the passengers in the photograph seem to be backpackers, with the rear emergency door being used to load/unload the rucksacks.

At Adelaide Airport, I was lucky enough to walk out on the tarmac to board my plane through the rear door, and took the opportunity to shoot the plane parked beside mine.
I am currently in Brisbane with no plans except to walk around Brisbane and shoot lots of pictures. It would be awesome to meet a Flickr friend while I am here. If that is you, please Flickr mail me.

GCT LA29 looking fairly new, even down to the Leyland rear wheel trims and the application of the softer Tram Green. Note however that the rear bumper has been removed and the chassis crossmember painted yellow instead. Ive no idea where this photo came from, it is a scanned photo that was given to me, so apologies for no credit.
Love those rear lights!

Private Car #90, the Philadelphia Star, is on the rear of E/B Amtrak train #46, The Pennsylvanian. Its passing MG Tower (Middle of the Grade) on Conrail's Pittsburgh Line. Can anyone identify any of the riders enjoying the scenery?
I really love this window. Wood floors, magical blue skies, flowing sheer curtains - what a room. The Def Leppard shirt adds a touch of class.
