A sad day today as the EA-6B Prowler is retired by the US military. The US Navy gave up its examples a long time ago, but the US Marine Corps's VMAQ-2 has retained its own to this point.
This VAQ-134 "Garudas" example is pictured departing Nellis AFB during Red Flag 07-2.

in the first lap of the Julius Bär Swiss E-Prix held in Berne. Daniel Abt in his Audi Sport Abt Schaeffler car 66 got through the first chicane, where shortly after the midfield produced a mass collision that caused the race to be stopped for quite a long period before it could be restarted. ABT finished P6.
Late afternoon departure from Nellis. First time I've seen an F-16 with a WA tail code carrying bombs.
High winds swept across the beach from the Southeast, making the flags stand on end and whipping palm trees and hair all about. The clouds were beautiful and surprisingly slow moving. Lots of folks were out with cameras, ranging from cell phones to point and shoots to full DSLRs.

50mph+ wind on Hastings beach, I had just bought the camera; an Ensign Ranger Special 6x9 for £15 in a junk shop, walked into the first pharmacy I saw and they had HP5 film in 120 size, loaded it and took some photos. Who said film is dead?

From my last photojourney in Morocco, last January, in a small village on the ocean, there's an old fisherman who is checking his net. These are really poor people and the good conditions of their nets are very important to their lives. I hope you enjoy this scene.
