The meeting between Flinders and Baudin at Encounter Bay in 1802 marked the beginning of enormous change at Granite Island and surrounding areas. In his journal, Flinders described how he prepared his crew for action and instructed his crew to hoist a white flag of truce. Like Nicolas Baudin who hoisted the French and English flags from his ship Le Geographé, Matthew Flinders hoped for a peaceful encounter.
To the relief of both captains, the exchange was peaceful. Flinders boarded the French ship and the two captains exchanged information about their explorations. They learned that they had been given the same task to chart the 'unknown coast' of Terra Australis. In recognition of the meeting, Flinders named the area Encounter Bay.
From this point on, Victor Harbor became recognised for its whaling and sealing opportunities. In the early nineteenth century, Encounter Bay attracted large numbers of whales and seals. Whaling stations were erected on Granite Island and the Bluff to pursue the Southern Right Whale. The Ramindjeri people were regarded as competent whalers and were employed as harpooners and whale spotters.
Whaling at Victor Harbor produced whale oil, one of South Australia's first exports. Business was good and Encounter Bay was the most productive of the colony's whaling stations. However, by the last years, whalers were only finding two to three whales each winter. In 1872 the industry closed down.
Victor Harbor was thought to be better than other harbors in the colony. It was also conveniently close to the River Murray trade. For this reason, Victor Harbor was considered to be South Australia's capital city. The town's bid to become the capital city saw the construction of Granite Island's causeway, jetties and breakwater. Victor Harbor was unsuccessful in this bid. Shipping continued successfully, however. Products like wool and wheat traveled down the River Murray by boat, then by steam train to Victor Harbor and across to Granite Island by horse-drawn tram. They were loaded onto the ships bound for ports around the world. By the end of the century, the railways were rapidly expanding and the need for shipping was reduced.
Before sunrise, may not have become the capital city but the sky indicated on this particular morning a high level of city pollution which makes for a lot of colour particularly with thin cloud and fog rising. Walked the island which appeared much travelled by thousands of feet. Interesting history and will cross the straight one day in the near future to have a look at the history laden little island of Tasmania.

Happy Earth Day, ya'll
Reuse more, waste less.
Keep them bushes tidy
and above all don't litter!
Every little bit helps :)
Well, I wasn't choppin' wood, but someone did at some point. This was wood that I inherited when we bought the house. I was just messing with my new phone to get a sense of how well the camera did in certain circumstances and this was one of those shots. Those were the only pictures I got around to taking for the day... Been busy, busy with work and doing things around the house.
Shortly after this picture, I took these logs and carried them over to where my garden is going. I'm going to place these logs in the bottom of my raised garden beds. I'm going to be trying a technique called Hugelkultur. You place logs, branches, twigs and other plant debris in the bottom of the garden beds then cover that with topsoil. The wood acts as a sponge, holding water in the bottom of the garden beds longer, keeping things from drying out as quickly. Also, everything breaks down over many years, slowly releasing nutrients into the soil for the plants. As a bonus, it reduces the amount of dirt I have to use to fill the beds.

This vehicle was new to East Yorkshire as their 372 / YX10 EYY.
Have reinforced my Gateway Arch and have the elevators inside working. The speed is fairly realistic (slow at 1/100th scale). Because the motors at the top, I couldn't get cross section at the top reduced as much as I wanted. It's microfig scale overall but by the time you get to the top it's closer to minifig scale. Enjoy the videos and pictures.
These are the last pics from a couple of days ago.

Here's another one of my hand-held photos of moving water at unusual camera settings:
A slow-ish shutter speed (1/30s) with the camera set to Shutter-Priority. This forces it to seek a tiny lens opening (f/36 here) for lots of depth of field. To get this sharp hand-held at 1/30s and moderate telephoto, you have to use an internally-stabilized lens or camera and also be really steady or lucky. The latter applies in my case.
Cause of the rolling:
This stretch of the Wiese has a man-made river-width drop of ca. 35cm every ca. 30m. The apparent purpose is cut the flow speed and reduce erosion. That's just a guess.

F-4 Phantom – 5195 units produced, 63 years of production/service, dozens of monographs, modelling plans, etc., what can go wrong? Well, actually quite many things. Still, after a few setbacks, here it is, my latest model
About the jet
The history of McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II started back in the mid 50’, with the first flight taking place on 27th May 1958. Initially, the F4H-1 (the initial designation before the tri-service unification) started as an unsolicited proposal from McDonnell Douglas, which actually didn’t get much interest. Only after the problems of other Navy fighters led to the necessity of acquiring a new general-purpose fighter, the Phantom as we know could get its chance. After winning the competition against the Vought’s F8U-3 Crusader III submission, the F4H-1 went to service in 1961, with a new designation of F-4B (starting in 1962). Even though F-4B was a revolutionary design for it time, it still had a number of deficiencies, with the most serious ones being slightly too high approach speed, and its AN-APQ-72 radar lacking the look-down, shoot-down capabilities, performing poorly against the ground clutter. As a consequence, after delivering 649 F-4B, in late 1966 McDonnell introduced a new, improved version – the F-4J. This version featured a revised and strengthened internal structure, more powerful J79-GE-10 engines (the smokeless, 10B version was introduced later in 1978), new, wider tires (resulting in bulges on the top part of the wings), a few aerodynamic improvements for decreasing the approach speed (changes to inboard leading edges and slotted stabilator), and most importantly, new AWG-10 radar, with solid-state elements and prominent look-down, shoot-down capabilities. The F-4J served through the Vietnam war until the late 70’, together with the F-4B, and later F-4N (upgraded F-4B). After that, starting from 1978, the selected 265 F-4J underwent an upgrade to F-4S standard (the initial idea was for 302, but the number was reduced), featuring smokeless J79-GE-10B engines, improved electronics, and leading-edge maneuvering slats, similar to those on USAF’s F-4E. In this variant, Phantoms served until 1987 in USN, and 1992 in USMC. In the meantime, 15 F-4J were also sold to UK, to fill the gap left by FGR. 2 Phantoms (F-4M) deployed to the Falkland Islands. These aircraft, known also as F-4J(UK) Phantom F.3s, served from 1984 to 1991. Interestingly, they were greatly appreciated by the RAF pilots, with most of them considering them superior to British Spey-engined variants, mainly due to the much faster response of the J-79 turbojets, in comparison to Rolls-Royce Spey 203 turbofans.
About the building process
While I’ve always appreciated the F-4, I was never a “Phantom Phanatic”. In fact, the idea for this model came to me by accident – I was a bit stuck with other projects, and thinking about different solutions, the idea that 2x3x1 curved slopes would make for an excellent Phantom fuselage went through my mind. I thought that these easy, boxy shapes of F-4 would make for a nice relax after the complex shapes of my F-14 and MiG-29, and so I started. Unfortunately, I made a huge mistake at the very beginning – I used the blueprints from the book, without validating their correctness first, which later cost me a lot of headaches.
Before going further, I should mention some of the F-4 models by other people, which were a huge inspiration to me. Of course, there is an excellent F-4B by Mad Physicist , a beautiful F-4B by Carl Greatrix , and a whole series of different F-4s by Justin Davies. However, from the viewpoint of my model, three Phantoms were of particular importance for me. The first one is F-4N by Jonah Padberg. Even though I’ve ended with a very different cockpit design, I’ve started with the modification of his 3-stud wide canopy and angled cockpit section. The next model, is a F-4B by Maks, who made an excellent, SNOT version of the Phantom, which to a large degree influenced some of my design choices. Lastly, there is a huge, 1/15 scale F-4J by crash_cramer, which might be my favorite LEGO model ever. Similarly as in the case of my F-14 Tomcat, I tried to emulate some of his techniques in a smaller scale.
The first assumption was to go for the 3-stud wide canopy, similarly as in my MiG-29. Such solution is much more accurate in this scale and makes the model look much more realistic in my opinion. In fact, I’m so pleased with the outcome here that I will likely rebuild my F-14 in near future to similar standard. The construction itself started with the wings. I’ve always came under impression that similarly to F-15, the angle for the leading edge is 45 degrees. Well, not really. Instead, the angle is 51 degrees, which effectively eliminates any plate-based solutions, leaving the brick-built wing as the only valid option. So instead of getting a nice, simple, sturdy 45 degrees wing, I had to go with a brick-built one, which combined with the main landing gear solution and folding mechanism, proved to be a nightmare. After figuring it out, the next challenge was to design the angled cockpit area. Here, the solutions from Jonah’s model were of great help. With those two pieces in place, the rest went relatively smoothly, leading to the stage presented in WiP pictures. And then, having 85% of a model ready, I checked the validity of my blueprints. I was able to get my hands on the original F-4 factory drawing on the Aviation Archives website, and all my drawings turned out to be off by a considerable margin. Fortunately, I’m not the only person dissatisfied by the quality of available blueprints, and I was able to find this awesome website, with a set of 100% accurate drawings, based on the factory ones, including the cross-sections. That was good news, the bad one was that my fuselage was too short, too high, and too wide. So I had to lower the whole fuselage by a plate, elongate it by 2 studs, and modify it from 10-stud wide, to 9-stud wide. Surprisingly, it wasn’t that hard, but after lowering the fuselage, it became evident that the angling of the front section is too steep. This, in turn, required a complete revision of the already most problematic section, consuming an awful lot of time. But after all these problems, I finally got a model, with which I am quite satisfied.
About the model
The model represents a McDonnell Douglas F-4J Phantom II in a 1/33 scale. The camouflage is based on the F-4J from VF-96 squadron, BuNo. 155800, callsign “Showtime100”, deployed on the USS Constellation aircraft carrier in Vietnam, around 1972. This particular aircraft, on the 10th of May 1972, was credited with 3 MiG-17 kills, being flown by pilot Lt Randy Cunningham and RIO Lt(jg) Willy Driscoll. This effectively made them the only Navy aces of the Vietnam war, as they already had 2 kills on their account. You may also note that they flew a “borrowed” plane, as the name on the cockpit is that of Lowell “Gus” Eggert, who later commanded the USS Constellation from 1974 onward. As usual, the model possesses a number of features: openable cockpits, working flaps, foldable wings, working horizontal and vertical tails, retractable landing gear and tailhook. I’m rather pleased with the functionality, as most of the features, especially the landing gear, are much more reliable than in e.g. my MiG-29. The loadout comprises 4 AIM-7E Sparrows, 4 AIM-9G Sidewinders, and a centerline 600 gal. fuel tank. Also, under the wings, there are outboard pylons for two 370 gal. fuel tanks, which are visible on some of the photos. The credit for the stand design goes to Jerac. There is a small discrepancy in the camouflage – in principle nearly all USN phantoms had an all-white underside, with an exception of some late 80s’, extremely dull, low-vis versions. Unfortunately, due to the brick-built nature of the wing, I was unable to make them white on the bottom. For a moment, I contemplated utilizing huge white stickers, but it wouldn’t look all that great, and it would make the wings extremely modification-unfriendly. Still, the final effect is not that bad. So, please enjoy, and let me know what is your opinion on this model.

With the W22 schedule in full-swing, Icelandair has reduced their operating schedule and capacity as a number of Europe and North America destinations sees some destinations only served during the summer season... The Boeing 737 MAX that has become very popular with the carrier are heavily used during the summer, but their usage has slack during the winter. Their flagship FI450/451 often sees Boeing 737 MAX 8/9s operating during the winter months alongside the Boeing 757-200/300.
During the S22 schedule, their Boeing 737 MAX fleet were heavily utilised to a point that none made it through the paint-shop even when further examples were acquired through lease agreements. Since then, Icelandair have now repainted all of their Boeing 737 MAX 8/9s in their 'billboard' livery, the larger Boeing 737 MAX 9 being amongst the last to receive the livery of the type.
Since last analysing the Boeing 737 MAX with Icelandair, the carrier has signed agreements for a further 6 to be added to the carrier... 2 have already been delivered having previously been in use with Norwegian Air Shuttle although their withdrawal were mainly down to the low-cost carrier suffering financial losses and the COVID-19 pandemic further escalating the problem. A further 4 examples are due from 2023 albeit their source has yet to be confirmed.
Currently, Icelandair operates 16 Boeing 737s, which includes 12 Boeing 737 MAX 8s and 4 Boeing 737 MAX 9s. Icelandair have 4 more Boeing 737 MAX 8s on-order.
India Charlie Delta is one of 4 Boeing 737 MAX 9s operated by Icelandair, delivered new to the flag-carrier on 21st January 2022 and she is powered by 2 CFM International LEAP-1B28 engines. Just a few days after this photo was taken, she received new Icelandair 'billboard' livery with Magenta tail on 30th November 2022 and received the name of the western Icelandic mountain of Baula.

Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana is carrying out combined tests to prepare for the arrival of Ariane 6, Europe’s next generation heavy-lift launch vehicle.
The first Ariane 6 fairing has already arrived at the Spaceport from Europe. It is 20 m high and 5.4 m in diameter and is being integrated with a mockup payload to test equipment and procedures inside the assembly building.
Ruag Space in Emmen, Switzerland manufactures each entire large half-shell in one piece from carbon-fibre composite which is ‘cured’ in an industrial oven. This reduces cost and speeds up production. Fewer parts allow horizontal as well as vertical assembly of the closed fairing and the launch vehicle, which is particularly important for Ariane 6.
A blue metal scaffold on the right of the picture, called the ‘strongback’, encases the fairing. There is one for each half-shell to hold each steady and to maintain the shape of the fairing while it is being raised vertical, and during assembly.
The mockup payload stands on its payload adaptor – the black cone. This is the interface between the bottom of the payload and the rocket. The adapter cone is fixed to a permanent dock on the ground.
Before this combined test, the French space agency, CNES, updated the existing Ariane 5 assembly building with a new integration dock, composed of a large white frame, with two mobile platforms adjustable to any level and accessible by fixed stairs and platforms.
This assembly building has two halls: one for integration of the fairing on the Ariane 5 rocket, and an encapsulation hall where the payload is stowed in the fairing. This encapsulation hall is a spacious clean room for Ariane 6.
A new door 26 m high has been installed at the entrance of the building to make room for the integrated fairing, payload and adapter to move on its trailer to the Ariane 6 launch zone.
This activity is one of many extensive ‘combined tests’ which are being carried out in a team effort at the Spaceport by ESA, CNES, ArianeGroup, Avio and other industry partners. These tests will prove the systems and procedures that will prepare Europe's new Ariane 6 launch vehicle for flight.

Opaline (Blue) Gourami (Trichogaster trichopterus)
Family: Belontiidae
Range: South China Sea; Malaysia
Size: Up to 6 inches
Diet: Omnivore
Tank Set-up: Freshwater: Densely planted, rocks, driftwood
Tank Conditions: 72-82°F; pH 6.0-8.8; dH 5-35
Minimum Tank Capacity: 20 gallons
Light: Medium
Temperament: Semi-Aggressive
Swimming Level: Top to middle
Care Level: Easy
Reproduction: Egg Layer - Bubblenest Builder
The Opaline Gourami is also known as the Marbled Gourami, and is a color variation of the Blue or Three-Spot Gourami. The Opaline Gourami is silvery pale-blue, with darker blue markings. This gourami is a rather peaceful fish that is very comical to watch as a juvenile. It is considered a labyrinth fish. Although it is equipped with gills, it also has a special organ which allows it to breathe directly from the air. As a result, it must have access to the surface of the water in the aquarium.
The Opaline Gourami is compatible with a variety of tank mates that are of similar size and temperament. While males can be territorial with each other, they become timid around other, more aggressive fish. The ideal tank set-up would be a minimum of 20 gallons and have plenty of live plants, as well as rocks and driftwood for use as hiding places.
The best way to differentiate between the male and female Opaline Gourami is by the dorsal fin. In the male, the dorsal fin is long and pointed, while the female's is shorter and rounded. When ready to breed, the male builds a bubblenest and begins to entice the female by swimming back and forth, flaring his fins and raising his tail. When this behavior is noticed, the water level should be reduced to 6 inches. After spawning, the female should be removed to a separate tank as the male may become aggressive toward her. The male will tend to the eggs until they hatch. After hatching, there should be frequent water changes, especially during the third week, as this is when the labyrinth organ is developing. The fry should be fed infusoria and newly hatched brine shrimp (nauplii).
The Opaline Gourami is an omnivore and prefers both algae-based foods as well as meaty foods. An algae-based flake food, along with freeze-dried bloodworms, tubifex, and brine shrimp will provide this fish with the proper nutrition.
Ideal tank mates include:
* Mollies
* Swordtails
* Guppies
* Platies
* Tetras
* Danios
* Rasboras
* Rainbowfish
* Barbs
* Loaches
* Plecos
* Scavenger Catfish

The 2035 ban on the sale of new cars with internal combustion engines is often criticized as a misguided decision. A central argument is the lack of technological openness. Critics of the ban point out that the exclusive focus on electromobility ignores other promising alternatives such as synthetic fuels (e-fuels) or hydrogen technologies. For example, e-fuels could represent a climate-friendly solution for existing vehicles, thereby having a much greater impact than the sole transition to electric cars. Furthermore, the production of e-fuels is generally carbon-neutral, as carbon dioxide is extracted from the atmosphere during their production. A technology-agnostic approach would enable engineers and the industry to develop the most efficient and sustainable solutions instead of being limited to a single, politically mandated option.
Another crucial point of criticism is the dependency on global supply chains and scarce resources. The production of batteries for electric vehicles requires a large amount of critical raw materials such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel. These raw materials are often mined under environmentally damaging and ethically questionable conditions, and the supply chains are dominated by a few countries. A one-sided focus on electromobility could therefore lead to new geopolitical dependencies and bottlenecks. In addition, the energy supply for widespread e-mobility is not yet sufficiently secured in many countries. A too-rapid transition could overload the power grid and lead to a greater need for electricity from fossil fuels, which would undermine the desired climate goals.
The German head of Mercedes, Ola Källenius, has also been critical of the rigid focus on the combustion engine ban. He advocates for a reassessment of the decision to strengthen technological openness again. Källenius emphasizes that the internal combustion engine could be operated in a climate-neutral way through the use of synthetic fuels and would thus represent an attractive alternative to pure e-mobility. He argues that a technology-agnostic policy would enable manufacturers to develop innovative solutions and find the best ways to decarbonize transport. From his perspective, the combustion engine ban is an unnecessary restriction that weakens the innovative power of the European automotive industry and jeopardizes its competitiveness against other markets. He suggests that politicians should re-evaluate the situation to ensure that the best and most efficient technologies for reducing CO2 emissions are used.

Dark skies above the reeds of the Broads National Park.
After my previous shoot at Mudeford, using an adapted 35mm f/2 on the A7s but having to narrow the aperture to reduce lens coma, I decided to take the plunge on the Sony FE28mm.
It's a slightly unusual focal length for astrophotography- that's what had been delaying my decision- but these shots from its first assignment show the focal length conundrum is the only thing to overcome.
It's bright (through the EVF), sharp, coma-free and seems to have minimal vignetting, all with that fast f/2 aperture. It's instantly cemented its place in my kit bag and I'm looking forward to cracking on with some milky way shots as the season progresses. It's only cloud cover that's prevented me testing that sooner.

Germany, Hamburg, “CSCL Globe”, visiting Hamburg Harbour at its inaugural voyage. Actually with a length of 400 mtr, a beam of 60 mtr & a draught of 16 mtr it is the world’s largest containership by cargo capacity & built within only 6 month in 2014 at the Hyundai Heavy Industries, Ulsan, South Korea. The ship has a capacity of 19.100 containers / TEU. At the time of its completion, the 17,2 mtr tall engine was the largest ship engine ever built to date. The main engine of CSCL Globe is MAN B&W 12S90ME-C Mark 9.2 type long-stroke & low-speed. The engine has maximum output power of 93,500 hp at 69 rpm, powering two four-bladed propellers. Designed to maximise fuel efficiency while reducing noise & carbon dioxide emissions, it permits the ship a speed of 20.5 knots - 38 km/h, the maximum speed reached during sea trials 22.0 knots - 41 km/h. The CSCL Globe is first of a series of fife, the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean & Arctic Ocean; these ships will start their service in 2015 between Asia & Europe, they also will visit Hamburg during their maiden voyage.
