Junto a Laura, Filip y Els tomamos esta parada en el camino despues de un claro de bosque y al ver un gigantesco arbol caÃdo cerca de la carretera.
Es impresionante cuantas cosas sucedieron en medio de esta parada, nos detuvimos por el árbol, luego salio de entre la maleza un hombre en sus 60´s arreando unos carneros en medio del bosque, a la orilla de la carretera lo esperaba su esposa con una bandera roja en la mano, instintivamente cruce y espere por algo, hasta ver a la señora levantando la mano y los animales comenzaron a cruzar la carretera en busca de un lugar seguro.
Luego del bosque tambien emergieron dos señores encima de una carreta cargada de Marabú que se detuvieron para que FIlip tomara unas instantaneas con su Hasselblad. De ellos luego de su carreta incorporada al camino tomé una foto que fue escogida dentro de las participantes en el concurso Latinoamericano de Los trabajos y los dÃas.
Laura tomo varias fotos del bosque, todos tomamos fotos del arbol caido, luego se rompió un motor con sidecar y parte de sus ocupantes estaban reparandola, volvimos todos a la carga con nuestras camaras, es impresionante como una parada en el camino puede ofrecernos tantas oportunidades.
A veces pasamos de largo en la vida y solo basta con detenerse a respirar profundo, espero amigos mÃos que disfruten de un maravilloso fin de semana.
Along with Laura, Filip and Els took this stopover after a forest clearing and saw a giant fallen tree near the road.
It's amazing how many things happened in the middle of this stop, we stopped by the tree, then came out of the brush a man in his 60's herding some sheep across the woods, at the edge of the road expecting his wife with a red flag in hand, I instinctively cross the road and wait for something, until I see the lady moving his flag on hands and the animals began to cross the road in search of a safe place.
I little bit After two old mad came out of the forest atop a wagon loaded with cut Marabu, they stopped to allow Filip to shoot some photos with his Hasselblad.
I shoot some photos of them after his wagon built the road, one of those photos was chosen within the Latin American participants in the contest " The Works and Days ".
Laura took several photos of the forest, we all took pictures of fallen tree, then a motor with sidecar passing near by us suddenly stop and its occupants started repairing it, we all went back to the fray with our cameras, is impressive as a stop on the road can offer many different opportunities .
Sometimes we pass in life, and just enough to stop and take a deep breath, I hope you enjoy my friends a wonderful weekend.
My nemesis from redflag 15-2. Not even involved with RF, working with us navy seahawks. 165782/300/NE.
My wife and I had some free time so we decided to drive down to Las Vegas for the Red Flag exercise in mid-March 2025. The weather forecast was good and there seemed to be a decent line-up of participating aircraft. Unfortunately both items fell short. The sky conditions were excellent but the weather sucked. Very high winds affected some of the fighters. The first afternoon we were there all F-16s and F-35s were grounded due to crosswinds. Also unfortunate was that Flex departures were cancelled at the last minute so the planes had to do a straight out departure - this sucked for photographers. In the late afternoon the recovery shifted to landings over Cheyenne Avenue. This was our first visit there in about a year and we couldn't believe the change. It was a mix of a homeless camp, scrap yard, bombed out Gaza, and just a totally trashy area. Burned out cars and car parts were everywhere. We didn't feel safe there despite being among other plane spotters. Wow. I took these photos in mid-March 2025.
Re aircraft activity - it seemed a lot lower than at prior Red Flags. There were a lot of Nellis resident aircraft but not too many visitors. It was a decent trip but not a great one.
