British Airways BAC/Aerospatiale Concorde G-BOAD in formation with nine BAE Systems Hawk T.1's of the Royal Air Force Red Arrows display team during the 2002 Queen's Birthday Flypast over central London
After the sad demise of Concorde operations, on the 10th of November the following year, 'Oscar Delta' made her last flight back to her regular destination of New York where she is now preserved 'downtown' next to the USS Intrepid floating museum
On a more positive note, 23 years on, the Red Arrows still fly their BAE Hawk trainers

I enjoyed watching the progress of this feathered friend at Sheboygan's North Point Thursday morning.
We've a little bit of rain of late and the dams have overflowed so our normal walking area is now a lake but that doesn't stop these guys.
A shot from March 2018 when we were treated to two occasions of "serious" snow in Dorset (the type that doesn't melt before it's even touched the ground!). This was the second occasion, and a chance to get down to Durdle Door beach as I'd not been able to the first time.
I had already shot numerous compositions of the door itself, but this shot with my good friend Duncan in the scene really appealed to me. It's still snowing in this scene as you can no doubt see, but that is definitely all part of the fun.
Hope you're all enjoying this lovely weather. I've heard colder weather is on its way!

USS Intrepid (CV/CVA/CVS-11). Museum ship. New York City.
She is the fourth US Navy ship to bear the name. Commissioned in August 1943, Intrepid participated in several campaigns in the Pacific Theater of Operations, most notably the Battle of Leyte Gulf. Decommissioned in 1974, in 1982 Intrepid became the foundation of the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York City.
Just after this was taken Karen was laying flat on her belly and took this: www.flickr.com/photos/22292497@N05/2636047456/
I love how she and I interpreted the colors so differently.

At milepost 36 of the Cane Creek Subdivision, the valley through Moab Canyon widens considerably. The Intrepid Potash plant can be found here on the west side of the Colorado River. The 51D local from Grand Junction rolls along the last few hundred feet of track to the plant on April 19, 2019.

Keeping on the feline theme.... Not quite sure what to think of this stuff! But still game to try. The cat named Montana.... Methow Valley, Wa
The ALGOMA INTREPID loads salt at Compass Minerals in Goderich. This is said to be the largest underground salt mine in the world, some 1,800 feet below the surface of Lake Huron.
UP's once weekly Potash Turn, officially LDG51B-10 readies to depart north on the former D&RGW Cane Creek branch with 17 loads for Grand Junction.
In the background stretched along the west bank of the Colorado River is the branch's raison d'etre, Intrepid Moab Mining's plant that was opened by Texas Gulf Sulphur in 1963 necessitating the building of this most spectacular of branch lines.

The original photo was of a recent snow storm. Photoleap was used to add elements of other photos that I have taken.
Then again, perhaps not. Weren't a lot of ship's captains in the old days rather fond of spirits?

These cars are part of the Three Rivers Rambler train, down by the riverfront in Knoxville. Each car is named; the closest is Intrepid, which you can sort of see if you look closely. This is HDR, processed using Aurora HDR, a Mac-only application I have just started using. So far, I’m quite impressed. Thanks, Paul Hassell, for the tip!
This is my car(Dodge Intrepid)... my last one was a Grand-Am. A part of me wishes I had never traded(it would have been paid off by now!!). That was the first "new" car I ever bought. It had only 8 miles when I purchased it.
Before that, I had a Mercury Cougar. That was a pretty cool car. (and) also the first nice automobile I ever owned. I had won $800 at the casino to use for the down payment.
Prior to that, I really have no idea what kind of cars I drove. I remember one was green, and a blue one, and a brown one with Native American patterns on the seat covers. That was pretty neat... usually I would pay about $300 and then drive them til they died on me... I've never been one to know much about cars anyway. Just "gas-n-go".
... and boy, did I have some winners... I remember one had no brakes for the longest time. I would put it in neutral and then pump the hell out of the peddle til it stopped. Winter time was nice 'cause I could use the snow on the side of the street as kind of a cushion to slow the thing down. I never had an accident. Although one time, I was going to work and I could tell I was moving way too fast to stop. So I went up to the next block where there was this big pile of snow, and bracing myself, coasted into it.
Another car had no reverse. I would always park it so that I could drive straight out. After awhile, I had every parking lot in town memorized. :-)
Yet another one... (still with me?)... had a driver's door that would not shut all the way. So I would tie a rope from the passenger side to keep it tight... I was pulled over by a cop once while driving this one. He thought I didn't stop completely at a sign. "I thought I did"... he never said a thing about the rope tying the two doors together. Bless his heart. He just let me go. I'm sure he couldn't believe his eyes.
Most of my little problems were mostly(alright, all) my own stupidity. I was always afraid of what the repairs would cost... I had little money... a smarter person would realize that repairing something early on... is cheaper in the long run.
OH... and let me tell you. If the cloth thing that is covering the inside of your roof loses it's stickiness and just hangs there. Rubbing against your head as your driving. Don't ever, in a fit of rage, rip the whole thing out. The stuff on the other side will come flaking down on you..."Heavy"!!!... you'll feel like your in a snow globe. ;-)
