This aircraft later set a record:
Powered by a biofuel blend, the new Boeing 747-8F completed the first-ever transatlantic flight by a commercial jetliner that was powered by biofuel in all four engines.
The 747-8 is a development of the Boeing 747, which takes advantage of improvements in technology and aerodynamics. The two variants of the 747-8 were launched in 2005, and, as of 2006, both will feature a fuselage stretch of 18.3 ft (5.6 m) over the 747-400, bringing the total length to 250 ft 2½ in (76.264 m). The 747-8 will be the world's longest passenger airliner, surpassing the Airbus A340-600 by 3.6 ft (1.1 m). With a maximum take-off weight of 975,000 lb (442,000 kg),] the 747-8 is the heaviest aircraft, commercial or military, manufactured in the United States.
Compared to the 747-400, the main technical changes will be on the wing of the aircraft, which will undergo a complete design overhaul. The sweep and basic structure will be kept to contain costs, but the wing will be thicker and deeper, with the aerodynamics recalculated. The pressure distribution and bending moments will be different, with the new wing for the passenger version being planned to hold 64,225 US gal (243,120 L) of jet fuel, and the cargo aircraft 60,925 US gal (230,630 L). The new wing will have single-slotted outboard flaps and double-slotted inboard flaps.
Raked wingtips, similar to the ones used on the 777-200LR, 777-300ER, and 787 models, are used on the new 747 variant instead of winglets used on the 747-400. These wingtip structures help reduce the wingtip vortices at the lateral edges of the wings, decreasing wake turbulence and drag, and thereby increasing fuel efficiency. Another effort to reduce weight is the introduction of fly-by-wire technology for the majority of the lateral controls.
The extra fuel capacity in the redesigned wing compared to the 747-400 obviates the need to radically change the horizontal tail unit to accommodate auxiliary tanks, further saving costs. The -8's vertical tail unit will be largely unchanged with a height of 63 feet 6 inches (19.35 m).[43] Some carbon fiber-reinforced plastic will be part of the 747-8's airframe to reduce weight. However, structural changes will mostly be evolutionary, rather than revolutionary with respect to the 747-400.
The General Electric GEnx, which is one of the two powerplant choices currently offered for the Boeing 787, will be the only engine available for the 747-8. However, the 747 variant will be adapted to provide bleed air for conventional aircraft systems and feature a smaller diameter to fit on the 747 wing. The flight tests of the GEnx 2b engine fitted to a Boeing 747-100 aircraft at the left inner engine began in March 2009.
A short evening walk led us to the Skaftafellsjokull glacier on the left and the Svinafellsjokull glacier on the right, part of the larger Vatnajokull national park.
CSX Q410 made its way past Ziegler Chemical with some foreign boys on board. Canadian Pacific SD70ACU Veterans Unit # 7023 trails the lead engine, along with another CP engine as a rear DPU.
These two owls are about ready to lose their fluffy baby feathers. The parents were nearby watching me take this photo.
These were in the courtyard of the Oracle office complex in Interlocken in a low branch that I could walk up to. Nice.

Oh my, how slang has changed over the years....
Walking with two drinks was a pretty common sight on this cruise with both men and women, not something I've noticed much on our other trips. I guess that UK folks are wanting to make sure that their hydration level is always up?
Now when I was much, much younger if you saw your friend (or pretty much anyone) with two drinks in their hands you'd say they were Double Fisting it which was the original title I was going to use for the shot.
DO NOT AND I MEAN ABSOLUTELY DO NOT LOOK UP THE MODERN DEFINITION OF DOUBLE FISTING. IT IS DEFINITELY NSFW!!! DON'T BLAME ME IF YOU SEE THINGS THAT SHOCK YOUR EYELIDS!
I got no further than the first description (not even a link click) on Google when I realized that Double Fisting It was definitely NOT going to be the title of this shot!
Hopefully the Porn Police don't come knocking on my door, it really was an innocent search
PS, my standard disclaimer:
For those in the Show Your EXIF group you should note that the actual lens used is a Tamron AF 18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 Di-II VC All-in-One Zoom for Canon APS-C Digital SLR. It's a known issue and for some crazy reason it always shows up as a Canon TS-E 90mm f/2.8, a lens I've never owned or used!
A female Orchard Swallowtail butterfly (Papilio aegeus) rests on a Pittosporum seedling, having been chased and shadowed by the male (bottom right) for about three minutes. He left her alone though, flying off solo without any further interaction. Wingspan about 10cm.

Trying to get the hang of this microclick thing...I realize now that I moved the camera too far after advancing the film a few clicks each time. I'm still happy with the results.

The Dust Bunny Maple Cottage is soooo adorable. It has only two rooms, but i love it anyway.
Apple Fall has a sweet dining set, chandelier and plates at The Chapter Four. I scooped them right up and put them in this darling house.

This is so inspired by Gregory Crewdson! I’m really pleased with how this turned out and would genuinely love to know what you think.
Also, a massive thank you to my friend Charlie for lending me his lights yet again for these pictures!
Oh, and I put together an extremely awkward making of video which you should definitely go watch now :D
