Easy Jet at cloudbase on a very dull Thursday evening,
B&Q car park, Luton Airport. Don't think I could have done this with film!
These grainy shots are not the best ever Reds shots, however!! They are a tribute to undoubtedly the best Aerobatic Display Team. The Reds performed at Belfast City on 4 October 2008 in a cloudbase around 1500feet in pouring rain. No one expected a display everyone was once again thrilled at the skill on display. Their guiding motto is ‘Eclat’ which means brilliance, and they proved that again.

Spectecular trip with mostly low cloudbase and from time to time clear skies and our first distant sights on eastern Bhutan.
In the original resolution, Scrappy is visible at cloudbase at the end of Greenwalls, and Dave is just barely visible along the flank of Puu Konahuanui, on his first attempt to squeak around it

On final glide to the London Gliding Club, Dunstable, from cloudbase over Towcester, in Sierra India
I took some pictures during the 5 hour flight just to give me something else to think about than local soaring.

Peacetower, Friðarsúlu, Friedenssäule -
"Give peace a chance"
The Imagine Peace Tower (Icelandic: Friðasúlan, 'the peace column') is a memorial to John Lennon from his widow, Yoko Ono, located on Viðey Island in Kollafjörður Bay near ReykjavÃk, Iceland.
Installed in 2007, it consists of a tall tower of light, projected from a white stone monument that has the words "Imagine Peace" carved into it in 24 languages. These words, and the name of the tower, are a reference to Lennon's campaign for peace, and his 1971 song "Imagine".
Description :
The Tower consists of 15 searchlights with prisms that act as mirrors, reflecting the column of light vertically into the sky from a 10-metre wide wishing well.
It often reaches cloudbase and indeed can be seen penetrating the cloud cover. On a clear night, it appears to reach an altitude of at least 4,000 metres. The power for the lights is provided by Iceland's unique geothermal energy grid. It uses approximately 75 kW of power.
Buried underneath the light tower are over 1 million written wishes that Ono gathered over the years for another project called Wish Trees. Iceland was selected for the project because of its beauty and its eco-friendly use of geothermal energy.
Operation :
The tower is lit every year from 9 October, Lennon's birthday, through 8 December, the date he was shot, from 31 December until 6 January (an Icelandic new year period), and for one week around the spring equinox.
On 9 October 2021, it was lit for the 15th time on John Lennon's birthday.
The monument was lit on 24 February 2022, with Ono saying the off-season lighting was "to show solidarity with Ukraine and emphasize the call for peace."
