Un hilo de plata colgando desde el cielo.
Hermosa vida
(tus lágrimas se pierden entre la lluvia)
A strand of silver hanging through the sky.
Precious life (your tears are lost in
falling rain)
Galileo, Galileo,
Galileo, Figaro - magnifico........
Who said ligntning doesn't strike the same place twice :)
I finally managed to take some thunderbolt shots. I was trying each time there was a lightning storm, but this time I managed to take some shots.
Very, very frightening me.
(Galileo) Galileo.

Magnifico-o-o-o-o.
Lyrics from bohemian rhapsody, I thought I'd finish up the rest of the lightning series right away.

'64 FORD Fairlane 500 THUNDERBOLT
Sporting a 427 cubic inch engine ! Thunderbolt was a 425hp 427 cid high rise engine. Reported horsepower was 425, however it was closer to 500 hp and rocketed these tiny Ford's to mid 11 second quarter mile times. The 427 engine featured 12.7:1 compression, two four barrel carburetors, and a special intake and camshaft. Air was fed into the engine through a ram air system with vents connected to unused head lamp entrances in the grill. Very unique headers were constructed that snaked around the suspension.

After a long period of hot and dry weather we had a major thunderstorn with floods of water and hailstones yesterday. I was really afraid that the windows would shatter. There was some devastation in our area, but we were lucky.
The roller coaster sits next to an empty abandoned lot. Coney Island has been losing a battle with urban decay for years. Nowhere is that more evident then on the Boardwalk during the off-season.
Iniciando outubro, mês em que comemoramos o Dia do Aviador e Dia da Força Aérea, trago para vocês um ícone da batalha travada na Itália durante a Segunda Grande Guerra: O Republic P-47 Thunderbolt voado pelo bravos pilotos do 1⁰ Grupo de Aviação de Caça.
Este exemplar foi fotografado no Museu Aeroespacial no Rio de Janeiro ( @museuaeroespacial ).
Abrindo um parênteses: Adoro este museu e sou suspeito para dizer que é um excelente lugar para visitar.

I really do have to wonder how hard he hit the ball for this shot, because even 1/1250th of a second wasn't quick enough to avoid motion blur on the boot or ball!
The beautiful Bohemian invaders
We were on one of our regular walks when a small bird caught my attention. I however quickly forgot all about the gold crest when I spotted this beauty in a nearby tree.
At Dunollie we saw about 14 but numbering over 17 they were soon to cause a sensation in nearby Oban.
This was clearly the highlight of our Autumn trip back home

Sunset over Saint Andrews-by-the-Sea, New Brunswick. The moored boat is the Thunderbolt, that I captured in several other photos, including one on her way into port.
