First time building imperial vehicles! Did you know in-universe, they were supposed to have tracks and not hover?
This lovely pink Herb Robert Blossom is one of many growing in the shady part of my backyard under the pines.
Having a late lunch on some cow parsley flowers. I'm amazed this came out as well as it did. The gusty wind was blowing the flower heads about all afternoon.

Hover-lift tractors work in tandem using a suspensor field to transport the HabLab modules from orbit down to the planet surface. They are still prototypes, and due for some refining, but there is too much drama in this photo to not use it! The only editing I did was to resize the picture, the rest is playing with flashlights in the dark. I'm liking this noir style of lighting, it seems to create an appropriate mood for the subject matter.

not that interested in making vehicles, but here's my attempt at a hover tank, anyway. The hull is too tall I know, but I'm fairly pleased with the turret design.
I always knew of the Hover mansion; it was always there. I didn't know it was in essence, an experimental farmstead in the early Twentieth century. Area farmers could back their wagons up to this mill, buy and load their specialty seed stock from the mill/granary. I suppose that this structure is rather diminutive because it dispensed specialty seed grains that were meant to be replanted.
Much of the Hover Farm production was devoted to developing seed crops, like the pure Marquis wheat and Wisconsin Pedigree raised to be sold as seed. Hover experimented to develop new rust resistant strains of wheat. He used a seed cleaning machine and sacked the seed for sale for the next year's crop. (That's exactly how TRrump sacks common labor and small contractors.) Hover also processed corn, oats and barley that was stored in various sections in his on-site mill using his agricultural leg elevator... Hover Home, Longmont Historical Society.
From the Hover Home web site: "In the early 1900's, Charles and Catherine Hover came to Colorado from Chicago. Charles was semi-retired after having had a very successful and lucrative career as a wholesale pharmaceutical salesman. He moved to Denver where he helped his brother part time, who was in the same business of pharmaceutical sales.
The Hovers were in Denver a relatively short period of time when Charles' health began to fail. They moved to Longmont and bought the property on the west side of town in hopes that Charles' health would improve with "country living".
The Hovers lived a quiet country life on the outskirts of Longmont. Their property included many acres west of a line that now extends from Mountain View Avenue to Highway 66. Charles dabbled at being a "gentleman farmer" and shared the profits of the crops raised on the land 50-50 with his tenant farmers.
Construction of the Hover home took four years to complete and was ready for their occupancy in 1912. The beautiful, Tudor style Hover home consists of 3,500 square feet of living space and includes many "modern" conveniences that were unheard of and considered quite eccentric and extravagant at the time. The total cost of the home in 1912 was $25,000.

At first I wasn't to sure what this was, speeder bike? mecha? flying multi-ped? does it look enough like a bug, to be a battle bug? i dunno.
Hovering Male Kestrel. Cromwell Bottom, Elland. 25/4/2023. This is another first - I've never got a shot of a Kestrel in flight before.
This Bee landed on the small alpine flower which was bending due to its weight. When I looked at pic saw the blurred wing beats as it was determined to get the nectre.
This was a very difficult shot to get, hover fly’s like to move around and there fast, I also had to use a manual focus, which I was continually having to change.
I managed to get a few good shots including this one which I have cropped.
I photographed this boat in Concarneau, France. It looked as if it was hovering above the water, although I can assure you it was floating. Optical effects always fascinate me.
