While furloughed at the height of the pandemic, I started to experiment using the Fujifilm XF10. This was just a bit of fun…
A fine August morning in Milwaukee, finds the classic 1951 built Great Lakes freighter, James Norris with it's self unloader boom reaching out and delivering salt to the city of Milwaukee. The James Norris was owned by the Upper Lakes Shipping LTD company until it was sold and scrapped at Port Colborne, Ontario in 2012.

Another look at Sthlm 01, a new office building at Hammarby Sjöstad in Stockholm. Part of a project by Skanska called Sthlm New. I had already taken a panorama of the building when I noticed the girl sitting on a blanket, busy on her smartphone, so I figured it would be a good way of showing the scale of the highrise.
Sorry I've been absent from Flickr. About a month ago I became ill and am now starting to feel better. I'm hoping to get caught up with your photostreams, soon. In the mean time, here are 350, circa 1968, blow mold plastic Santa's made by the now-defunct company, Empire Plastic Corp. Each Christmas the collection grows and is displayed at a different location in Portland. This year it was placed in the display window of an empty retail store across from Pioneer Courthouse Square.

Burn Up! British Airways Concorde G-BOAG captured on a fast fly-by at the International Air Tattoo. A beautiful sight :)
The 1983 IAT was the last to be held at Greenham Common due to the build up of cruise missile facilities and the reduced area for a large airshow. In 1985, RAF Fairford was chosen as the venue to host the Air Tattoo with the static display stretching for nearly 2 miles - the longest single line-up ever presented in the UK.
Concorde 214 history:
- First Registered as G-BFKW on 27th January 1978 to British Aerospace.
- After manufacture and with no buyer, the aircraft was loaned via a sale or return agreement to British Airways, to cover a 6 month period, while G-BOAC was being repaired at Filton.
- Flew for a short while as G-BFKW with British Airways. [see link to my photo below]
- Re-registered as G-BOAG by British Airways on 9th February 1981.
- Flypast in the new 'Landor' livery with the Red Arrows at the Royal International Air Tattoo in 1985. [where this photo was taken]
- Final flight from New York on 24th October 2003 - before joining G-BOAE and G-BOAF on a low circuit of London and then touching down at Heathrow together to mark the last day of Concorde commercial flights.
- Final flight from JFK across northern Canada to Seattle - 5th Nov 2003
- Retired from service and now preserved at the Museum of Flight, Seattle

The International Air Tattoo events held at RAF Greenham Common & RAF Fairford
The first Air Tattoo was staged at North Weald Airfield in Essex in 1971, with just over 100 aircraft taking part. The event was founded by Paul Bowen and Timothy Prince, who were CAA air traffic controllers, and Air Marshal Sir Denis Crowley-Milling.
From 1973 to 1983 it was held intermittently at RAF Greenham Common, moving to RAF Fairford in 1985. The show took place at Fairford every two years until it became an annual show from 1993.
initially the show was held under the title of the Royal Air Forces Association, South Eastern Area, Air Tattoo. The show became the International Air Tattoo in 1976, and in 1996 the current Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) title was adopted.

New York Brooklyn Bridge, circa 1995. Towards downtown, twin towers of World Trade Center could be seen amid the fog -- a tribute to Kodachrome colors.

Using 126, 5 sec intervals (~10.5 minute lapsed time) stacked images, I used Photoshop Lighten to produce the results from a colorful fire sky sunset. Rapidly moving clouds created this streaky result.
However, doing the same with Darken, the colors were more muted (as would be expected) but more of the spectrum (colors) resulted: www.flickr.com/photos/79387036@N07/38577937542/in/photost...
