Foto presa amb la meva Ihagee VP Exakta del 1933, amb un rodet de Ilford HP5+ 400 en format 127.
Al extrem sud del aeroport de Sabadell es troba un tancat amb la ferralla aeronautica abandonada. Majoritariament està formada per Mooney i Cessna de escoles de vol que varen fer fallida ja fa anys, com ara Top Fly o Tadair. Però també destaca per mida el Fairchild Swearinger Metroliner, que crec també era de Top Fly, fins el 2012.
=============================================
Picture taken with my Ihagee VP Exakta, made c.1933, with re-spooled Ilford HP5+ 400 film to 127 format.
At the southern end of Sabadell airport is a fenced area with abandoned aircraft scrap. It is mostly made up of Mooneys and Cessnas from flight schools that went bankrupt years ago, such as Top Fly or Tadair.
But by size the largest is this single Fairchild Swearinger Metroliner, probably abandoned here since 2012.

Live oak - the Fairchild Oak is one of the largest live oak trees in the south of Florida. The tree is 70 feet tall and its limbs stretch out to 300 feet across. The ancient tree is estimated to be 400 to 600 years old. The botanist David Fairchild, whose name is well-known in Florida because of the botanic garden in Coral Gables, admired this tree and, in 1955, it was named after him.
It grows next to Bulow Creek in Bulow Creek State Park, Florida.
Har to imagine this piece of junk ever flew and what is that odd looking pod on top - air conditioning?

Aloe thraskii (Coast Aloe) is an unbranched tree-like succulent that grows to 10 feet tall. It has deeply curved olive-green leaves with small reddish-brown marginal teeth, The leaves curve back to the trunk, sometimes even touching the skirt of old, dried leaves still hanging there. This winter-blooming species has well-branched inflorescences that can produce 15 to 25 upright cylindrical racemes. An inflorescence is a group or cluster of flowers arranged on a stem composed of a main branch or a complicated arrangement of branches.
Its yellow flowers have orange anthers which give them a bi-colored look. Younger plants may only produce a single inflorescence while older ones can produce multiples.

CN 396 crosses the Fairchild Creek Bridge outside of Brantford Ontario.
This bridge used to be visible from the ground but years of tree growth has all but hidden it from view without the use of a drone that is.
A rather magical view of epiphytic orchids in, I believe, the Richard H. Simons Rainforest in the Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden in Coral Gables, Florida. It's the only outdoor tropical rainforest in the continental US.
Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden is a 83 acre botanic garden, with extensive collections of rare tropical plants including palms, cycads, flowering trees and vines, located in Coral Gables, Florida, USA.The garden was established in 1938.

Look at the curling black proboscis or sipping straw that is a vital characteristic of heliconian butterflies!
The Heliconius butterfly can live up to 9 months while neotropical butterflies normally live a couple weeks! Heliconius butterflies have two unique traits:
1- pollen feeding. Adult butterflies systematically collect pollen from flowers which they masticate on the proboscis to dissolve out amino acids. Since they do not need to store nutrients for egg and sperm production, caterpillars are able to develop rapidly allowing adults to have a greatly extended lifespan in the wild.
2- Pupal mating is a second unusual trait found in some Heliconius species. Males search for female pupae on larval food plants and sit on them. The next morning mating occurs before the female has completely emerged. Pupal-mating may enhance the possibility of intrageneric mimicry. Second, it may influence host-plant specialization, as pupal-mating species may displace other heliconiines from their hosts by interference competition.
Yes, this unusual flower is called Hot Lips! There are over 2,000 species of Psychotria, the genus under which Hot Lips falls. Where does Hot Lips grow? Psychotria elata is part of the tropical rainforest understory flora of the Americas. It is a unique plant with uninteresting flowers but fabulous lip-like bracts. The plant can be difficult to grow and has very special cultivation conditions. Hot lips grows as a shrub or small tree.

Extraordinarily beautiful and intoxicatingly poisonous!
Datura stramonium has been used as a mystical sacrament in North America and South Asia. In Hinduism, Lord Shiva was known to smoke Datura. People still provide the small green fruit of Datura during festivals and special days as offerings in Shiva temples. Although lay devotees smoke marijuana as a devotional practice during religious festivals like Shivaratri (the Night of Shiva), they do not smoke Datura because its effects can be unpredictable and sometimes fatal. Aboriginal Americans in North America, such as the Algonquin and Luiseño have used this plant in sacred ceremonies. The genus name is derived from dhatura, an ancient Hindu word for a plant. Stramonium is originally from Greek, strychnos στρύχνος "nightshade" and maniakos μανιακός "mad".
All parts of this plant are poisonous. Effects from ingestion range from flushed skin, headaches, hallucinations, convulsions and even coma. Datura stramonium, known by the common names jimson weed, devil's trumpet, devil's weed, thorn apple, tolguacha, Jamestown weed, stinkweed, locoweed, datura, pricklyburr, devil's cucumber, hell's bells, moonflower and, in South Africa, malpitte and mad seeds, is a common weed in the Solanaceae (nightshade) family. Parts of the plant, especially the seeds and leaves, are sometimes used as a hallucinogen. Due to the elevated risk of overdose in uninformed users, many hospitalizations and some deaths are reported from this use.
It is an erect annual herb forming a bush up to 3–5 ft tall. The leaves are soft, irregularly undulate, and toothed. The fragrant flowers are trumpet-shaped, white to creamy or violet, and 2.5 to 3.5 in. long. The egg-shaped seed capsule is walnut-sized and either covered with spines or bald. At maturity it splits into four chambers, each with dozens of small black seeds. The seed is carried by birds and spread in their droppings. It can lie dormant underground for years and germinate when the soil is disturbed. People who discover it growing in their gardens and are worried about its toxicity have been advised to dig it up.
In the United States the plant is called Jimson Weed, or more rarely Jamestown Weed, taking this name from Jamestown, Virginia where British soldiers were drugged with it while attempting to suppress Bacon's Rebellion. They spent 11 days generally appearing to have gone insane.

C-FIOJ, a Fairchild SA227-AC Metro III, rolling out on runway 15 at Toronto Buttonville Municipal Airport in Markham, Ontario.
It was arriving as PHX594 (2080061 Ontario Inc., doing business as SkyCare Air Ambulance) from Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport in downtown Toronto, Ontario.
The 38-year-old didn't wait long to depart to Atikokan, Ontario - a town of 2,700 people approximately 675 statute miles / 1,085 kilometres northwest of Markham.
Serial number AC-594 began its career as N3116F with Comair, Inc. of Erlanger, Kentucky in October 1984.
