This went with an incredibly loud bang. Sounded like a gunshot, and left my ears ringing for a couple of seconds. The tube was at 7 bar.

Located near Green River, UT, this Cold War era abandoned military base was a subinstallation of the White Sands Missile Range in NM. This complex was used by the USAF and US Army for rocket testing, firing both the Pershing and Athena missiles fitted with subscale warheads for impact at the New Mexico range.
During it's course of operation from 1964 to 1975, there were 244 missile launches, including 141 launches of the Athena missiles.
The site was built in 1963, and the first Athena launch took place on February 10, 1964. The last Athena was launched in 1971, and in 1975, a Pershing missile was the last that would be launched from this facility. The site became inactive in 1979, and was deactivated in 1983.
With over 11,000 acres of property and 37 buildings still standing(as of a 2014 survey), we barely scratched the surface of all that this place holds in our short time there exploring. An incredible place, and I can't wait to return.

Deep moisture and instability were forecast to be advected in for this particular day across southern Saskatchewan with respectable bulk shear values ahead of a boundary pushing northeast. Three supercells developed by late afternoon, and we got there just in time to witness the southernmost storm grind its way toward Montana. A brief tornado was reported at the time of this photo.

This photo is probably the most successful attempt at using high speed photography so far as it is still in it's form of a balloon before it has collapsed. However I would like to carry on trying to get one that is the perfect sphere still.
Was taken using a sound trigger and a delay unit whilst shooting the balloon with a BB gun. Something I actually struggled with in this shot is actually getting the balloon to pop as I hadn't planned out the numbers correctly so I ended up with a lot of bullets bouncing back and hitting me in the face.
After yesterdays foggy wet day we chose to go inland within Kent to Stelling Minnis Common, comprising 124 acres or 50 Ha. The Common is privately owned by the Trustees of the estate of the late Lord Tomlin of Ash, and is one of the last remaining manorial commons (in the Middle Ages the lord of the manor, a country estate which was run from the manor house, kept some land in demesne - farming it himself, the rest he let, or left as common pasture and wasteland). The Minnis is currently managed by volunteers drawn from the local community to act on behalf of the Trustees. Their work is guided by a management plan produced by Kent Wildlife Trust to enhance the biodiversity of the grassland and is home to a wide range of heather, fungi, mosses and many lichens. The associated woodland consists of broadleaved old English species such as oak and birch, and typical natives of the North Downs such as yew and holly.
Good to know this is available, in case I run into some of that bad water. We figure its just carrying a truckload of Pepto.

The Northern Skies of Northern Wisconsin exploded with amazing and spectacular colors. One of the best displays I've ever seen. A solar wind stream produced these stunning skies during the late hours of September 1 2016 into the early hours of September 2 2016. Crivitz, Wisconsin. The Milky Way also was very bright and visible..

The National Explosive works at Upton Towans between Gwithian and Hayle was set up, in 1888, to manufacture explosives, (dynamite, gelignite and cordite), originally for the local mining industry and later for Naval use during WW1. It close down for manufacturing in 1919 but was used until the 1960s for the storage of explosives.
