I've been meaning to do something like this for a while now. This old abandoned building is in Launceston, Tasmania. A photographer friend of mine affectionately calls it "the bunker". So imagine my surprise when this rocket appeared! ;)

My Hooded Merganser "season" wasn't as lively this last Winter as they have been in the past, but there WERE some moments. You probably know by now if they have the time (not being chased by another hoodie thief) and inclination, they give those crayfish some good shakes to snap off the legs. This shake evidently backfired and launched the crusty meal, right outathe focus plane. Of course the Hoodie made quick on the retrieve.

Right after I got this shot, this Red-lined Leafhopper launched himself into space--- (the space between the branches.... :)

I usually try to avoid centering the subject of a photo, but I think it works on this one of Ripley taken at lunch today. : ) No way to avoid her at this speed, but I got lots of snowy, happy kisses once I was lying in the snow.
This board rider looked as though he was launching on to rocks but he had seen a wave coming that I couldn't see.
With the FFF+ at Torquay Surf Beach.
Captured in: Callicoon, NY.
Pictured here is the launch and subsequent explosion of a fireworks rocket & shell during a fireworks show. The image was captured during an annual July 4th event held in upstate NY.
My brother-in-law was part of the pyrotechnics team that was running the show, so we were fortunate to get an up-close and personal view of the launch area.
I found this one while recently looking back through the archives. ;) Not sure why I never got around to posting it, especially as I happened to really like the shot.

"Night Launch" is a non-HDR image that was processed in ACR and Photoshop. Processing also includes the use of Topaz Labs plugins: Adjust, Clarity, Clean, Denoise, Glow and Detail.
A great grey owl steps off a birch snag to check out some vole activity nearby. I always underestimate how long their wings are, I left room above the owl when framing in the camera, but as you can see, my mental calculation was off.
I really like the large number of large snowflakes coming down. And the bits of snow falling off its head as it launched.
In western Colorado, we have lots of raptor visitors in the winter. One of my favorite winter raptors is the rough-legged hawk. There's something quite special about its beauty in flight and of course, their overall beauty. They get their name from their fully feathered legs to the feet ... similar to that of a golden eagle or a ferruginous hawk.
In 2020, I saw several early on in the winter, but not too many since that time. Guess I'll have to wait until next winter to see them again.
Thanks so much for stopping by to view and comment. :-)

The launching flurry of an Australian Pied Currawong (Strepera graculina) does little to distract attention from the intense golden yellow eye. Image captured in the Bunya Mountains Queensland.

An Atlantic puffin stands on the edge of a rocky cliff at Sumburgh Head with its wings partially raised, preparing to launch off the cliff down to the water. The bird stands with its orange feet on a small grass tuft and is surrounded by blooming sea pinks. Shetland, Scotland.

This church (on the fortress island of Suomenlinna, near Helsinki) was originally Russian Orthodox, but at a later point it was converted to Lutherian and its onion domes were knocked down, leaving it looking a little bit odd. It reminded me of a rocket on a launch pad.
on the Kennet and Avon canal at Bathampton, Somerset.
The folks a board were wineing and dining.
The Kennet and Avon Canal is a waterway in southern England with an overall length of 87 miles (140 km),[1] made up of two lengths of navigable river linked by a canal. The name is commonly used to refer to the entire length of the navigation rather than solely to the central canal section. From Bristol to Bath the waterway follows the natural course of the River Avon before the canal links it to the River Kennet at Newbury, and from there to Reading on the River Thames. In all, the waterway incorporates 105 locks.
The two river stretches were made navigable in the early 18th century, and the 57-mile (92 km) canal section was constructed between 1794 and 1810. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the canal gradually fell into disuse after the opening of the Great Western Railway. In the latter half of the 20th century the canal was restored in stages, largely by volunteers. After decades of dereliction and much restoration work, it was fully reopened in 1990. The Kennet and Avon Canal has been developed as a popular heritage tourism destination for boating, canoeing, fishing, walking and cycling, and is also important for wildlife conservation.
