Eventually the sun and the wind combined to peel off the fog that had settled over night on Lake Louisa.
A more 'classic' view of the interior of library at the London School of Economics & Politics, with its sweeping and swirling staircase. Love the way that the lift looks like it will eject you right through the roof. This location was a brilliant end to our visit to the London Open House event.
After you sink, the only direction to go is up.
I'm really annoyed at myself for not spending enough time editing and uploading,
so my goal this week is to try and upload everyday. Not making any promises, but I'm feeling inspired! (1/7)
press L?
Buds on my miniature cherry tree - almost ready to open. A promise of spring blossom, & of summer to come.

another one of JANS shots from Monday , her first time out with the panasonic fz1000ii ... with parkgate across the estuary in the background
It has been over a month since Boeing restarted deliveries of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner after what has been a tumultuous 2020 and 2021 for the company after production and subsequent deliveries were halted for well-over a year; whilst those manufactured and in storage across the United States undergo necessary modifications with Charleston, Everett and Victorville are just a number of locations that are providing the necessary work to get the Boeing 787 re-certified for delivery.
British Airways became the 5th airline worldwide to take delivery of the Boeing 787 since given the green light by the US-based Federal Aviation Administration to deliver the wide-body jet on the basis that necessary rectification have taken place. Once again, deliveries will be slow as Boeing have a backlog of the type to modify before customers accept the aircraft.
For British Airways, whilst the carrier has since started to accept the remaining Boeing 787-10s on-order, deliveries are currently out of sync; prior to production halting, Boeing had manufactured 5 Boeing 787-10s for British Airways but weren't ablate deliver them having to be placed into storage awaiting their necessary modifications. Now, 4 are currently undergoing production testing before they begin their necessary flight testing from both Boeing and British Airways prior to delivery.
With deliveries now recommencing, it should be noted that British Airways have already begun the process adjusting their schedule with further Boeing 787-10s being scheduled to operate more long-haul flights. Including the latest delivery, British Airways is expected to take receive 7 Boeing 787-10s for 2022, with the last remaining 2 to arrive by 2023.
Currently, British Airways operates 33 Boeing 787s, which includes 12 Boeing 787-8s, 18 Boeing 787-9s and 2 Boeing 787-10s. British Airways have 9 Boeing 787-10s on-order.
Zulu Bravo Lima Bravo is one of 3 Boeing 787-10s in service with British Airways, delivered new to the flag-carrier on 29th June 2020 and she is powered by 2 Rolls-Royce Trent 1000-TEN engines.

They are in the processing of installing a new sanitary pump station at the end of Wilson Point. Currently there is a large 'ugly' crane there assisting with the construction. I think it looks kind of cool, and as it is near the airport, they have a bright safety colored crane there.
Against the bright blue sky, the orange really popped there in the sky. So hopefully this is an 'uplifting' photo to brighten your day ;))
I felt like I needed to make a better one to outbuild some of these fools. :3
George adjusted the feed to his comm link...
"Where's the rest of your team, trooper?"
"Scattered, dead. I don't know."
Before he had the chance to respond back, a phantom directed fire towards his Warthog.
As multiple plasma rounds splashed onto the LRV, George noticed the hull was burning.
"Jump!" He warned the Marines.
It was too late. The Warthog exploded to pieces, just as he let his hands fly off of the chaingun's handle.
George was bruised from the rough landing. The Phantom, believing the troopers were eliminated, went back to it's buisness and soared off into the distance.
George pulled himself up and began making haste towards an executive building that was occupied by other UNSC forces.
While under fire.

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. This woman was dancing with a great degree of fervour to Clanadonia on Buchanan Street. She was very happy indeed, or perhaps celebrating the purchase of her first push up bra! I just love this shot and she laughed even more after seeing me take it! Enjoy!
Oregon - Auf dem Weg zum Cascade Head
Cascade Head is a headland and 102,110-acre (41,320 ha) United States Forest Service Experimental Forest and part of the World Network of Biosphere Reserves. It is situated 85 miles (137 km) southwest of Portland, Oregon on the Oregon Coast between Lincoln City and Neskowin. Cascade Head Preserve is a Nature Conservancy Selected Site.
UNESCO - Man and the Biosphere Programme
Originally established in 1976, through UNESCO's Man and the Biosphere Programme, the Cascade Head Biosphere Region (formerly known as the Cascade Head Biosphere Reserve) was expanded during the 2016 reauthorization to its current footprint. Within its boundaries are the Cascade Head Scenic Research Area, Cascade Head Experimental Forest, the Cascade Head Preserve, and the Cascade Head Marine Reserve and Marine Protected Areas. The diverse ecosystem includes the Salmon River and its estuary, a sandy littoral spit, densely forested coastal rainforest, a two-mile basalt headland covered in native coastal prairie and marine reserve stretching west into the waters of the Pacific. As with modern biosphere regions, there are core protected areas, areas of managed use, and areas of cooperation within the boundary.
The Nature Conservancy
In the early 1960s, volunteers organized an effort to protect Cascade Head from development. By 1966 they had raised funds and purchased the property, and then turned it over to The Nature Conservancy. Because of its ecological significance, Cascade Head Preserve and surrounding national forest and other lands won recognition in 1980 as a National Scenic Research Area and a United Nations Biosphere Reserve.
Conservancy researchers are testing methods of maintaining and restoring grassland habitat for the Oregon silverspot butterfly, including prescribed fire. Conservancy ecologists also monitor the populations of rare plants throughout the year. In spring and summer, teams of volunteers remove invasive species (such as Himalayan blackberry), help maintain trails, assist with research projects, and teach visitors about the Preserve.
Experimental Forest
The 11,890-acre (4,810 ha) Cascade Head Experimental Forest was established in 1934 for scientific study of typical coastal Sitka spruce-western hemlock forests found along the Oregon Coast. The forest stands at Cascade Head have been used for long-term studies, experimentation, and ecosystem research since then. In 1974 an act of Congress established the 9,670-acre (3,910 ha) Cascade Head Scenic Research Area that includes the western half of the experimental forest, several prairie headlands, the Salmon River estuary to the south, and contiguous private lands.
Before the establishment of the experimental forest in 1934 and for sometime after, an intense forest inventory was done to determine distribution, age classes, and volumes of major tree species. Early research at Cascade Head includes studies that determined life history and characteristics of native tree species; growth and yield of Sitka spruce-western hemlock, Douglas-fir, and red alder stands; and basic relations between vegetation and climate. A climate station established in 1936 is still operating and is an official United States Weather Bureau site. Between the 1940s and the 1960s, experimental, commercial sized harvests were done to evaluate the silvicultural and economic results of various tree-cutting methods. Current research is being done on forest ecosystem productivity, wind disturbance, nutrient cycling, and global carbon cycling.
Research on the Salmon River estuary has been ongoing since the first dike breaching in 1979. Reestablishment of the salt marsh ecosystems continues to be studied and more recently use of these restored ecosystems by anadromous fish is being studied.
Flora and fauna
Cascade Head is home to many native plant species, including red fescue, wild rye, Pacific reedgrass, coastal paintbrush, goldenrod, blue violet and streambank lupine. The hairy checkermallow (Sidalcea hirtipes) is a rare flower found here.
Ninety-nine percent of the world's population of the Cascade Head catchfly is found here. The Oregon silverspot butterfly, federally listed as a threatened species, is known from only five other locations in the world. The butterfly depends on a single plant species, the early blue violet (or hookedspur violet, Viola adunca, which grows coastal grassland openings), to serve as food for its larvae. Elk, deer, coyote, cougar, black bear, snowshoe hare and the Pacific giant salamander are also found in the preserve, as well as osprey, bald eagle, great horned owl, northern harrier, red-tail hawk and the occasional peregrine falcon.
Geology
Cascade Head is an extinct, uplifted volcano that was once under the Pacific Ocean.

The La Salle Street Bridge (or Marshall Suloway Bridge) is a single-deck double-leaf trunnion bascule bridge spanning the main stem of the Chicago River in Chicago, Illinois, that connects the Near North Side with the Loop area. It was constructed in 1928 at a cost of $2,500,000 by the Strobel Steel Constructing Company. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Salle_Street_Bridge
