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

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.
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.
Another one from the Forth Bridges, this time with the main star of the show! Despite the Old Lady being built in 1882 it still magnetises the eyes of anyone who visits the area. A bit after sunset and some lovely colour on the sky to mark the end of another day.
And with launching pad only one song could go perfectly well in my mind:

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.
Any springtime visit to Grasslands National Park is almost certain to be a lark. Oops, I mean any visitor. Well, any little brown and yellow, winged visitor. I've never seen more Meadowlarks in one place and certainly never more of these constantly moving, fast flying Horned Larks.
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.
The modern elevator in the Old Town Hall with Astronomical Clock in Prague. With it's modern architecture it is a strong contrast to the building. In the picture the elevator is moving.
This picture was shot without a tripod, just with the IBIS of my Canon R6, I was impressed.

This GBH was looking for a more likely fishing location. This was the deepest part of the launch preparation.
Acrobatic male Red-bellied Woodpecker spinning his body into flight position. Seems he's done this before.

Creating memorable moments is something we strive to do on our photo workshops. During an outing this spring, we were getting ready to wind up a fun Milky Way shoot deep in the Utah desert. A 5% moon was just starting to rise when all of the sudden we saw a line of lights traveling quickly in the sky overhead. These lights originated from a single point and proceeded to follow each other all the way to the horizon. We had never seen anything like it! The lights just kept coming and coming. Meanwhile, I decided I'd better take a photo to document it! After we got back, we learned this was a launch of some Starlink satellites by SpaceX. If you zoom in on the photo, you can see the little hooks in the light trails from where they were launched off the rocket. Moments like this will live in our memories forever!

One of two sculptures at Hudson Yards near The Vessel. The only information that I could find was that the pieces are on display to May 17th - since I took this photo a few days later that's obviously wrong. There's also no information as to why these are here or who sponsored the project.
Happy Bench Monday
