Foggy Bottom is one of the oldest late 18th and 19th-century neighborhoods in Washington, D.C. The area is thought to have received the name because its riverside location made it susceptible to concentrations of fog and industrial smoke, an atmospheric trait that did not prevent the neighborhood from becoming the original location of the United States Naval Observatory. Foggy Bottom is west of downtown Washington, in the Northwest quadrant, bounded roughly by 17th Street to the east, Rock Creek Parkway to the west, Constitution Avenue to the south, and Pennsylvania Avenue to the north. Much of Foggy Bottom is occupied by the main campus of George Washington University (GW).

The Hawker Siddeley HS 121 Trident (originally the de Havilland D.H.121 and the Airco DH 121) was a British short and medium-range airliner. It was the first T-tail rear-engined three-engined jet airliner designed. It was also the first airliner to make a blind landing in revenue service in 1965.
The Trident emerged in response to a call by the state-owned British European Airways Corporation (BEA) for a jet airliner for its premier West European routes. BEA had been induced by government to issue this call despite its unwillingness to buy a large jet fleet. The airline's requirements fluctuated greatly in the 1950s and a decade later evolved radically away from what the Trident could offer. Adherence to BEA's changing specification was widely seen as limiting the Trident's appeal to other airlines and delaying its service entry.
During its gestation, the Trident was also involved in a government drive to rationalise the British aircraft industry. The resulting corporate moves and government interventions contributed to delays causing it to enter service two months after its major competitor, the Boeing 727, losing further potential sales as a result.
By the end of the programme in 1978, 117 Tridents had been produced. BEA's successor British Airways withdrew its Tridents by the mid-1980s. Trident services ended in China in the early 1990s.
Le Lion d'Asie ne compte plus que 300 individus encore sauvages principalement en Inde. L'espèce bénéficie d'une protection légale depuis 1947 et a frolé l'extinction en 1958 avec à peine une centaine d'individus. Aujourd'hui, la survie des lions d'Asie est fortement compromise en raison de multiples facteurs dont un fort taux de consangunité, l'exploitation excessive des forêts, la cohabitation avec l'homme Crédit photo: François el Bacha, tous droits réservés.

Wasn't going to do any more of these, but this one seems to work so well couldn't resist- Shot at 1.5:1.
defocus and crosseyes until an image appears in the middle and then try to relax your eyes to form a stable image. This fly has amazing stickyout eyes. If you can visualise this size, try the larger size for enhanced effect.
