The view from the National Gallery in London. Everybody wants to take this shot, but I'm not proud as it is a great view. Bitterly cold - so cold that the fountains were frozen.
Incidentally we saw the exhibition The Sacred Made Real which is absolutely stunning and should not be missed if you can make it to London - I don't think it's on for much longer.

On most KC-135 tankers, the fuel system can either offload fuel to another airplane, or feed the airplane's own engines. When the SR-71 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft entered service, however, it burned a different fuel from regular jets, and so required KC-135 tankers with separate fuel storage. Tankers modified to fuel the SR-71 were designated KC-135Q. When the SR-71 was retired, these tankers underwent the same CFM-56 re-engine modification as the rest of the KC-135 fleet, and were redesignated KC-135T. I believe they are now no different operationally from the standard KC-135R.

Jaws is a thriller with brilliant acting as well as action. One of my fave scenes is when Quint tells about sharks attacking after the sinking of the USS Indianapolis, the ship that delivered the atom bombs in WWII, that is just chilling. This is a classic movie we watch at the beginning of every summer to kick it off with a thrill. taken for our daily challenge - favorite movie
