After the Skimmers refilled their pontoon tanks they banked left and headed over our vantage point and back towards the fire. There were 6 of them and they flew in formation, 12 seconds apart. Turnaround time was in the neighbourhood of 10 - 12 minutes.

and I, I won't run
There's spit and spite all through my blood
For you and me, there's nowhere left to hide
Except you and me, there's no one else alive

Inspired by Japanese animation, this avant-grade production paints a vibrant musical landscape, featuring bizarre characters, animated movements and an exhilarating fire twirling performance.
‘Heroes of the La-La Land’ was an amazing pyro performance - a part of the month long Singapore Arts Festival. The scene here is part of the grand finale when all the characters came together to fight and performed a perfectly choreographed ending to this great show.
This is also a handheld one second exposure. I am so glad I didn't have a flash or a tripod - I would have completely missed this shot and the previous one too.
(edit)
This one hit #3 on Explore!

They some like it hot ... but maybe not this hot. Five of our seven rural volunteer fire departments responded to this one. Because of the Starbuck Fire of 2017, they have become one team and it shows in the work they do.

2020 sure isn’t letting up. California is now battling roughly 367 known fires. Today, I decided to drive down the coast and document what I could of the #CZUAugustLightningComplex fire. This fire is just north of Santa Cruz, is burning over 25,000 acres and growing with 0% containment so far. It was a day I won’t forgot.
On the lucky and semi-exciting side of being a photographer, I got to document my buddy and pilot friend @Jakelounsbury who use to fly me around SF and now fights fires, along with his co pilot @rlenzer.
On the not so lucky and not exciting side of things, knowing a friend probably lost his home in this very fire. That part was unsettling to say the least.
I was standing here in absolute awe, with a group of locals who were just evacuated, watching their land and homes burn away in the distance. Everyone was in decent spirits, but you could tell deep down how everyone was really feeling. Something I could not relate to, but I could definitely see it in them.
I started talking with a nice gentleman named Andy, who was a local Arborist and lived in the now burned valley for the past 12 years. He mentioned and pointed at his three trucks filled with everything he could grab. We sort of knew this fire was going to come at us eventually. So before I decided to leave the area and get out of everyone’s way, I offered to help him shuttle his trucks, as he seemed to be alone. One by one a few miles down the road we went so that he could at least get them parked further from this fire zone. I know I can’t stop the fire and save the day, but I also felt I didn’t just want to stand there and be that come and go tourist. I love this area and have explored this coast for the past 10 years as a photographer. Never have I seen it like this. I am praying for these fires to let up and of course 2020 to end.

This Air Tractor AT-802A demonstrated its firefighting capability while dumping water over the runway.

Have an exciting day, everyone...
Two trailer-mounted water pumps, diesel engine-driven and featuring multiple outlets for feeding multiple fire apparatuses, stand ready to be utilized if necessary for sustained demands. Under the red tarps are portable high flow fire monitors positionable as needed for maximum effect.

#CZULightningComplex
Greetings everyone! After a couple of months work I am proud to present my minifigure scale Zeta-class cargo shuttle.
“Manufactured by Telgorn Corporation with Sienar Fleet Systems, the Zeta-class shuttle carries a modular ‘interstellar orange’ cargo pod for versatility mounted on a 35.5m length frame.”
Ever since Rogue One introduced the design, the industrial mining tug aesthetic appealed to me. It has the kit-bashed sensibility that I love in Star Wars, so I set about a UCS sized build.
The lower cargo deck has space for troops and features a communications patch bay. I’m still working on finishing touches to the upper deck, but it houses the two seat command console and aft tech station.
The gearing mechanism from 10212 locks the wings upright. By simply lifting the top deck away I can adjust the angle if required. The wingspan measures 1.15m, so I have yet to find space to photograph the wings in flight mode!
During construction I used LDD for rapid prototyping. I still need to update the final build into the program, but the current ballpark is 4000 pieces.
The Rogue One ultimate visual guide and Battlefront Scarif DLC were invaluable for determining the proportions.
My personal technique for ‘minifigure scale’ is to calculate in-universe size against stud length. Small craft like speeders and skimmers skew towards 4.0s/m, starfighters 3.5s/m and large craft (e.g. UCS Slave 1 and Lambda shuttle) at 2.7s/m.
Therefore I aimed for 92s long and 75s high. The final model measures 88s (l) 70s (h) 48s (w) / 70cm (l) 56cm (h) 38cm (w).
Finally I threw together a Scarif landing pad for a diorama.
Hope you all like it!
Lightning bugs or fireflies (Photinus pyralis) are the world's most efficient light producers. The lightbulbs we manufacture produce heat due to their inefficiencies, sometimes wasting as much as 90% of their energy as heat energy and using only 10% of it to actually generate light. 100% of the energy lightning bugs put into making light, actually makes light! Also, they can generate light throughout their entire lifecycles. Their larvae can produce light, and some lightning bug species' eggs can even flash when disturbed!
