Royal Air Force No.12 Squadron Blackburn (Hawker-Siddeley) Buccaneer S.2 XX900 in the static park at the RAF Mildenhall 'Air Fete' in May 1993
Designed in the 1950's for the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm, the 'Bucc' was a shipboard bomber designed to carry a nuclear weapon at wave top level to strike at the heart of the enemy by skimming across the sea undetected by radar
Once the Navy retired their last steam-catapult equipped Aircraft carrier - HMS Ark Royal, the Buccaneers were transferred to the RAF which reluctantly accepted their 'Naval' legacy but in the end the 'Flying Banana' worked it's way into the latter's hearts being used as a highly effective target designator during the first Gulf War

Please forgive me for being absent with my comments, I will return soon.....
Transparency is the condition of being see-through. An example of transparency is the fact that you can see through glass. ... A transparent object, especially a photographic slide that is viewed by light shining through it from behind or by projection.
When you're transparent, you invite trust by revealing that you have nothing to hide. You establish yourself as an honest, credible person in the eyes of others. The prospect of being open and vulnerable may make you nervous, but the digital revolution has made transparency a matter of survival.
Went to a summer house with my friends. Everybody was resting, as was I. The glass was beside me on a table, and I reached for my camera.
It's impossible not to love the nature in the autumn. Even when the colors didn't get colorful much. There's something special in the light and stillness of the water, especially in the evening. May be this is transparency of the air and water....

Thank you for all your comments and favs.

A new government building goes up in Blackpool. The famous tower is still visible through the framing. Soon it will be obfuscated by bureaucracy.
A box fresh male Four-spotted Chaser Dragonfly.
With this species in particular - when first emerged - it is very easy to see the amazing internal structure of the abdomen through the translucent outer wall.
These internal cells (which remind me of a honeycomb) must have something to do with contracting/expanding the abdomen to move air in and out of the spiracles along the edges for breathing.
Isn't nature amazing!
Phasenverschiebung
Die sonderbare Transparenz entsteht nur durch das Spiel mit Licht.
Phase shift.
The strange transparency is only created by playing with light.

The Oslo Opera House is the home of The Norwegian National Opera and Ballet, and the national opera theatre in Norway. The building is situated in the Bjørvika neighborhood of central Oslo, at the head of the Oslofjord. It is operated by Statsbygg, the government agency which manages property for the Norwegian governmen
The lobby is surrounded by 15 m (49 ft) tall windows with minimal framing and special glass that allows maximum views of the water. The roof is supported by thin angled columns also designed not to interfere with views.
Interior surfaces are covered in oak to bring warmth to spaces in contrast to the coolness of the white exterior
Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dongdaemun_Design_Plaza:
Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) is a major urban development landmark in Seoul, South Korea, designed by Zaha Hadid and Samoo, with a distinctively neo-futuristic design characterized by the "powerful, curving forms of elongated structures." The landmark is the centerpiece of South Korea's fashion hub and popular tourist destination, Dongdaemun, featuring a walkable park on its roofs, large global exhibition spaces, futuristic retail stores, and restored parts of the Seoul fortress.
The DDP has been one of the main reasons for Seoul's designation as the World Design Capital in 2010. Construction started in 2009, and it was officially inaugurated on March 21, 2014. It is physically connected to Seoul Subway via Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station on Line 2, 4, and 5.
The Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) was designed by British-Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid, winner of the 2004 Pritzker Prize, with the concept of "Metonymic Landscape". Metonymy refers to a method of describing a specific object indirectly, and Hadid integrated historical, cultural, urban, social, and economic aspects of Seoul deduced from this method in order to create a scene of the landscape. Designed as a cultural hub in the historical district of Seoul, South Korea's largest fashion district, the DDP is composed of undulating surfaces that resemble the flow of liquid and allow flexibility in space. The state-of-the-art BIM (Building Information Modeling), mega-truss (extra-large roof truss) system, and space frame system are the key features in terms of creating grand-scale spaces. According to Hadid, the fundamental features of her design were "transparency, porousness, and durability." Many ecological features, including a double-skin facade, solar panels, and a water recycling system, are included in the building.
The construction project for replacing Dongdaemun Stadium with a public park has been discussed in the media since 2000, and the city of Seoul established a basic master plan for alternating the function of Dongdaemun Stadium in 2005. Upon the advice of architects, and in order to secure a high-quality design for the new landmark of Seoul, the city invited architects in February 2007 to participate in a design competition. The city requested that the architects include a design plaza, underground spaces, a history park, and a culture park in the project, according to the guidelines. Zaha Hadid's Metonymic Landscape won the competition.
The exterior envelope of the DDP, a smooth and giant mushroom-like structure floating above ground level, is made of concrete, aluminum, steel, and stone. The interior of the building is finished with plaster reinforced with synthetic fiber, acoustic tiles, acrylic resin, stainless steel, and polished stone in the interior.
As a 35mm Kodak Ektachrome 200 colour transparency this into the sun shot did not have a lot going for it. However with a bit of work and conversion to black and white an acceptable image of 45101 waiting to depart Leicester with a northbound express has been achieved, 20th May 1978.
Locomotive History
45101 was originally D96 and was built at Crewe Works, entering traffic in April 1961, allocated to Derby MPD. It remained a Midland engine for all of its career predominantly allocated to Toton. In 1973 the Midland Main Line services started to migrate from steam heating to electric heating of the coaching stock and D96 was the first of fifty class 45 locomotives selected to have its Stone Vapour steam heating boiler replaced with electric train heating equipment (a Brush BL100-30 ETH auxiliary alternator) and emerged from Derby Works in March 1973 as 45101. It was withdrawn still allocated to Toton in November 1986 and dumped in the yard until moved to Vic Berry, Leicester and broken up during September 1988.
