1910 Replica 1/2 KW Synchronous rotary gap transmitter. This image was 'Photo of the year' in QST magazine, and used in the 2011 ARRL annual calendar. I retain copyright. Blow the image up and view the rear electrode. It is firing at 1800 arcs per minute. Current in the arc is approximately 1,000 amps.
Or, village humour as dry as possible. Fuji X-Pro3. I am continuing my exploration of AF photography.
Als die "Wehrhahnlinie" (niederflurige U-Bahn-Strecke in Düsseldorf) noch nicht in Betrieb war, rollt NF6 Nr. 2141 der Rheinbahn über den Graf-Adolf-Platz (GAP) in der südlichen City. Abweichend von der Standardlackierung hat der der Wagen einen schwarzen "Kühlergrill" und eine ebenso lackierte Stoßschürze.
When I first came to live on Merseyside in 1999 Avon buses operated a number of deckers but for most of the intervening years they have been an exclusively saloon fleet. Lately they have acquired deckers again.

Indian Gap

Located between two hills, the town is named for Comanche Indians who would use the hills to begin their raids. Now its a ghost town.

Holkham Gap Beach, there is an attractive beach here and a wonderful wildlife area. You reach this from Lady Anne's Drive which leads to the beach. From the main coast road Lady Anne's Drive, once a toll road owned by the Holkham Estate crosses the reclaimed salt marshes to Holkham Gap. This is a gap in pine fringed sand dunes which form the outer coastline.
Holkham Pines is the name of the large belt of pine trees which runs west to east inland from the beach; just out of these Pines and onto the beach we found Shore Lark, Snow Buntings and a rare visit from a Dartford Warbler, not on the photo of course.
Another from our little North Norfolk break. This was Cart Gap on Friday morning. This one looked promising when I got up and looked out of the window, but because it looked like thin high cloud, I thought there would be colour but short lived. When driving to Cart Gap, I was thinking it looked good, but part way there, it seemed the colour was already fading and that was 30 mins before sunrise. It was pleasantly surprising that the colour in the sky actually lasted a good half hour or so, and I was a happy bunny! Again, missed some shots I should have got, but again, the headless chicken ruled the roost!

After a pretty dull dawn, the Sun found the gap on the horizon and gave us (a couple of other photographers were there) a show. I’ve been doing this a long time now and you just can’t ever tell what will happen. Show up and wait.

Operations image of the week:
May and early June were busy months for NASA’s Cassini orbiter, as a series of complex link-ups with ESA and NASA stations supported ‘radio science’ as part of the mission’s Grand Finale.
In radio science, specialists analyse the signals transmitted by Cassini to Earth to extract important information on how gravity affects the craft’s motion or how matter through which the signals travel affects them.
Cassini is focusing on probing Saturn’s interior by mapping the planet’s gravity to an unprecedented level of detail, and determining the rings’ total mass to help understand how they formed.
This striking image was taken by Cassini’s two cameras. It is possible to see the outer edge of the Encke Gap in the outer portion of Saturn’s A ring. The uneven patterns in the ringlet appear and disappear through the gravitational influence of moon Pan, orbiting in the gap.
Cassini is providing insight into how and when the rings formed, as well as their relation with Saturn and its moons. The team working on these new fundamental measurements is all European.
The observations require a meticulous sequence of contacts with ground stations, making use of five NASA Deep Space Network antennas plus ESA’s Deep Space Antennas at Malargüe, Argentina, and New Norcia Australia. Some of these link-ups with Cassini will run for over eight hours.

The Sycamore Gap tree is one of most photographed in the country. It stands in a dramatic dip in Hadrian’s Wall in the Northumberland National Park. In late 2016 it took the crown for English Tree of the Year in the Woodland Trust’s awards.

Lydd Ranges is a military firing range south of Lydd, in Kent, England. It extends as far as the coast.
It has been used for military training for over 150 years and is part of the Dungeness, Romney Marsh and Rye Bay Site of Special Scientific Interest.Because the range is used for live firing access is sometimes restricted - red flags are flown during these times, access is prohibited along the foreshore and Galloways Road. Also red lights are shown at restricted times due to poor weather. The Danger area extends out to sea and mariners sailing to and from Rye Harbour must pass south of the Stephenson Shoal to avoid it. Firing occurs about 300 days a year. When firing is not carried out, it may be possible to walk along a designated path along the shore

An old scan from a 5x4 transparency (Velvia 50) of the now-lost tree at sycamore gap. I would have been using a Shen Hao field camera and 90mm lens, and by the angle of the light I assume this was taken early one morning in early spring. Scanned on a Howtek drum scanner and left on my hard drive for perhaps a decade.
