On our last night of our short trip, Paul and I headed to this small chapel to light it up. Built in 1923 by Count Stanislas Theodoor de Goussencourt and his wife Rose Virginie Marie de Patoul Fleury, Countess de Goussencourt, in memory of their only son Paul de Goussencourt who crashed his plane on this site during WWI. Count Paul de Goussencourt, A Belgian war volunteer with the rank of sergeant pilot in the Military, was born in Obourg on January 14, 1892. Together with lieutenant de Cubber on May 12, 1917 he flew a reconnaissance flight for the Belgian artillery. Their aircraft was hit by German anti-aircraft fire, or they were engaged in a dogfight, caught fire and crashed on Allied territory where the memorial chapel now stands. Both men died there. Paul de Goussencourt was buried at the Belgian military cemetery of Adinkerke. It is still in pretty good condition but the inside has seen better days. Paul kindly blasted an orange torch at the rear of the building to illuminate the pattern above the door and a small panel light was used for the interior, I walked through the shot with a BLS to illuminate the foreground.

A candid shot, intentionally taken with a blurry or soft focus for the effect. In truth this guy is no pilot but an Iron cutter , hence the goggles. The idea was to portray him like a aviator who may have achieved his goals but at some cost back in world war II.

He owns Pan-Am. He owns Congress. He owns the Civil Aeronautics Board. But he does not own the sky. -Howard Hughes on Juan Trippe, [The Aviator,2004]
The free for all sky shot from Capitol Hill, Denver. The statue has a greater detail from front though! The dark streaks are jet trails, and the motivation for the title and the quote ....

First time I have been inside the Aviator hotel at Farnborough yet I live just a few miles away. They have a stunning set of circular balconies leading up from the entrance.
The hotel is shaped like a propellor- I guess you need to see it from the air to appreciate that. Handy that it sits right next to Farnborough airfield/airport maybe?

Secret: I rock the aviators :] I have never worn aviators before until now. And I love them :] i don't wear them on my ears. my ears are too low so I have to put them up a bit higher...yeah...I know..
Not one of my best but I am a slacker for life.
Wave pool today! :D
