The Space Needle in Seattle was built for the 1962 Worlds Fair. Located at the Seattle Center it is one of the most famous man made landmarks in the Pacific Northwest and a symbol of the City of Seattle. The tower is 605 feet (184 m) tall, the equivalent of a 60 story building. The piece of sculpture at the bottom provided a visual reference point to illustrate the structure's height as did the blue sky and clouds above. Digitally scanned from a 35 mm Kodachrome slide.

This should not be attempted by the amateur.
Here, we see why Frank is a cut above the ordinary lensducker. I do not know the exact mechanism, but no doubt using sohisticated anti-portraiture techniques Frank has altered the fabric of space time to create some kind of "phase-shift", so even though he is brazenly looking at the camera, all coherency is lost.
Note how Frank's fine control of these cosmic forces is so precise as to leave the other people in the shot entirely unaffected. Thanks to Niall again for providing interest to the background.
Canterbury Cathedral was the setting for this majestic display.

From the placard at the Udvar-Hazy Museum: "Discovery flew every type of Space Shuttle Mission:Satellite delivery and retrieval-repair-release, Department of Defense national security, scientific rsearch, Hubble Space Telescope deployment and servicing, Mir, and International Space Station assembly, crew exchange, and resupply missions." This photo was taken with a Nikon D600 and a 24-85 f/3.5-4.5 lens, f5.6@1/60 sec, ISO 900 (#0461)
Three of Saturn's brood are captured near the rings in this view from the
Cassini spacecraft. Together they showcase the rich variety of worlds
found in the Saturn system.
Pictured here are: Titan (5,150 kilometers, or 3,200 miles across) at
upper left, Dione (1,126 kilometers, or 700 miles across) at right and
Janus (181 kilometers, or 113 miles across) just above the rings left of
center.
This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the rings from about 2
degrees above the ringplane. The planet is overexposed in this view.
The image was taken in visible red light with the Cassini spacecraft
wide-angle camera on June 24, 2007 at a distance of approximately 1.8
million kilometers (1.1 million miles) from Saturn. Image scale is 183
kilometers (114 miles) per pixel on Titan, 132 kilometers (82 miles) per
pixel on Dione and 115 kilometers (71 miles) per pixel at the distance of
Janus.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European
Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory,
a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages
the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The
Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and
assembled at JPL. The imaging operations center is based at the Space
Science Institute in Boulder, Colo.

The Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center is NASA's manned spacecraft center. It is the home of the Apollo program in addition to being a training facility. On display are Apollo artifacts as well as the Saturn V rocket.

Space Needle, Seattle, WA
Whenever I visit the Space Needle and for that matter Seattle, it seems like it is always overcast, raining and gloomy. But not on this particular day. It was bright, sunny, and there was a beautiful blue sky all day. This often-photographed icon of Seattle presented an opportunity with a blue sky background.

Edited Chandra Space Telescope/Hubble Space Telescope image of arcs of light and giant elliptical galaxies, smiling for the camera (or so says my anthropomorphic brain).
Original caption: Astronomers think that in the future the "Cheshire Cat" group will become what is known as a fossil group, a gathering of galaxies that contains one giant elliptical galaxy and other much smaller, fainter ones. Today, researchers know each "eye" galaxy is the brightest member of its own group of galaxies and these two groups are racing toward one another at over 300,000 miles per hour. Data from Chandra (purple), which has been combined with optical data from Hubble, show hot gas that has been heated to millions of degrees, which is evidence that the galaxy groups are slamming into one another. Chandra's X-ray data also reveal that the left "eye" of the Cheshire Cat group contains an actively feeding supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy.
