Spotted this beautiful Polish-built Lim-5, a licence-built version of the Soviet MiG-17F, putting on an incredible show! This specific aircraft, serial number 1211, spent decades in military service before being carefully restored to flying condition.
The real spectacle is the afterburner, producing a huge burst of orange flame from the tailpipe even in broad daylight. Hearing that vintage jet engine roar and watching it streak across the sky feels like taking a step right back into the Cold War.
[FR] C’était le 19 aout dernier, nuit pendant laquelle j’ai pu assister à un joli défilé de cellules orageuses pendant plusieurs heures. Les plus esthétiques et visibles d’entre elles étaient assez éloignées, à mi chemin entre les côtes varoises et la Corse, une fois que le ciel s’est dégagé à l’avant.
[EN] It was last August 19, a night during which I was able to watch a nice parade of storm cells for several hours. The most aesthetic and visible of them were quite far away, halfway between the Var coast and Corsica, once the sky cleared in front.
Thanks for the comments, faves and visits
This captivating image showcases the breathtaking beauty of autumn in a residential area of San Jose, California. The photograph captures a tree-lined street where nature's artistry is on full display, creating a stunning tunnel of fall colors.
Majestic trees flank both sides of the street, their branches reaching across to form a natural archway. The foliage is a vibrant mix of russet, gold, and lingering green, illustrating the gradual transition of seasons. The interplay of sunlight filtering through the leaves creates a warm, dappled effect on the street below.
The road itself stretches invitingly into the distance, its vanishing point drawing the eye towards modest suburban homes barely visible through the autumnal curtain. Parked cars line both sides of the street, their presence a reminder of the lived-in nature of this picturesque neighborhood.
The scene is bathed in the golden light of late afternoon, enhancing the rich autumn palette and casting long shadows that add depth and texture to the composition. This lighting perfectly accentuates the seasonal transformation, making each leaf seem to glow with inner warmth.
This image encapsulates the unique charm of San Jose's residential areas, where the beauty of nature harmoniously coexists with urban living. It serves as a testament to the city's commitment to maintaining a green canopy, providing residents with a daily dose of natural splendor right outside their doors.
The photograph invites viewers to imagine themselves strolling down this enchanting street, perhaps hearing the crunch of fallen leaves underfoot, and breathing in the crisp autumn air. It's a serene snapshot of suburban life in Silicon Valley, reminding us of the simple yet profound beauty that each changing season brings to our everyday surroundings.

A change of pace, I know, but I love the expression of this crowd of music lovers at a recent reunion concert of a local rock band from the 80's.
Playin' the hits...

Now that I have transferred all my photos safely on to Mama Retina I am not sure if I will ever leave my apartment EVER again. Everything looks fabulous in the world of Mama R, the detail is exquisite and when I go full screen on a shot I feel like I am there and also all of your, my fine flickr friends, shots look even more wonderful too.
We had two rose tinted mornings last week which were a real spectacle. I woke up right as the first morning was happening - everything had turned pink as did I too with shame that I had not got up earlier. So the next morning I was down super early at Bronte thinking maybe there will be leftover pink and sure enough there was :).
