HMCS Ottawa, Arabian Gulf
HMCS Ottawa ship’s diver Leading Seaman Andy O’Brien (forground), from Cape Broyle, Newfoundland, and LS Charlie Chamberlain, from Edmonton, Alberta, don their diving equipment prior to the ship’s hull inspection while on deployment in the Arabian Gulf.
In early September, HMCS Ottawa left Esquimalt, British Columbia on deployment to the Arabian Gulf Region for six months to operate with coalition navies in the continuing campaign against terrorism known as Operation ENDURING FREEDOM.
The Canadian Forces maritime contribution known as Operation ALTAIR will have the Halifax class Frigate HMCS Ottawa conducting surveillance patrols and maritime interdiction operations with her crew of about 230 officers and sailors with a CH-124 Sea King detachment.

Wasnt even supposed to be an imaging session so no laptop and fancy pants cameras. Not even tracking properly. Ended up taking vids till the batteries on the camera breathed their last. No spares.

High scrutiny for a lens designed to cover 55mm x 70mm film.
I could stare at this pattern for hours. If you look closely, the piece packs 4-sided, 5-sided, 6-sided, 7-sided and 8-sided stars beside each other! Yet we know from analyzing the angles that such a set of regular polygons could never tile the plane: en.wikipedia.org/…/Euclidean_tilings_by_convex_regu…
The answer is that some of the polygons are ever-so-slightly irregular to fit with each other, even though to the eye they all appear deceptively regular.
I first discovered this tiling in Craig Kaplan's 2005 "polygons-in-contact" paper; it also appears in Tilings and Patterns by Grunbaum and Shepard and the Bourgoin plates. Pass it on: more people should learn about this almost-regular tiling!
Another night time shot, this time the stars of Altair & Vega. Hopefully I've identified these correctly :-)

In the heart of Colombo the tallest residential towers around this part of the world -and definitely the tallest in the country- are under construction. Designed by the famous architect Moshe Safdie, Altair, the $ 250-million development project is set to become the city’s new landmark. The structure consists of one 68-level vertical tower and a 64-level sloping one, forming a total living space of 1.5 million ft2 (140 2). The towers meet at level 38.
В самом сердце Коломбо строятся самые высокие жилые башни в этой части мира и, безусловно, самые высокие в стране. Разработанный известным архитектором Моше Сафди, Альтаир, проект развития стоимостью 250 миллионов долларов США станет новой достопримечательностью города. Структура состоит из одной 68-уровневой вертикальной башни и 64-уровневой наклонной башни, образующей общую жилую площадь 1,5 миллиона футов (140 м2). Башни встречаются на 38 этаже.
Two different times in history, on the left is an assassin named Robert "quietly infiltrating" a german weapons factory during WWII and on the right is the master assassin, Altaïr. Standing center stage is Desmond himself.
Just a quick moc, Hope you like it!
a battle between the 2...(action figures were placed in my balcony and took advantage of the snow, and used a snow spray as well)

Took 4k video (about 1200 frames and used best 900 in PIPP and then best 25% in autostakkert).
I like all the rilles/valleys around the central crater Agrippa which is 27 miles across.
From wikipedia: "Agrippa is a lunar impact crater that is located at the southeast edge of the Mare Vaporum. It is located to the north of the crater Godin, the irregular Tempel lies just to the east. To the north and northeast, the rille designated Rima Ariadaeus follows a course to the east-southeast, reaching the western edge of Mare Tranquillitatis. It is named after the 1st century Greek astronomer Agrippa."
Born in the same year as I and widely recognized the spark that led to the microcomputer revolution.
Programming was done with the switches. No Monitor, just stylish red LED.

Seeing was poor (as were my skills!). Did my back in before doing this so hows that for dedication to the cause? ;-). Nearly killed me!
