Derwent Water Launch, heading back to Keswick, passing Rampsholme Island.
Derwentwater (or Derwent Water) is one of the principal bodies of water in the Lake District National Park in north west England. It lies wholly within the Borough of Allerdale, in the county of Cumbria.
The lake occupies part of Borrowdale and lies immediately south of the town of Keswick. It is both fed and drained by the River Derwent. It measures approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) long by 1 mile (1.6 km) wide and is some 72 feet (22 m) deep. There are several islands within the lake, one of which is inhabited. Derwent Island House, an 18th century residence, is a tenanted National Trust property open to the public on five days each year.
Derwentwater is a place of considerable scenic value. It is surrounded by hills (known locally as fells), and many of the slopes facing Derwentwater are extensively wooded. A regular passenger launch operates on the lake, taking passengers between various landing stages. There are seven lakeside marinas, the most popular stops being: Keswick, Portinscale and the Lodore Falls, from which boats may be hired. Recreational walking is a major tourist activity in the area and an extensive network of footpaths exists within the hills and woods surrounding the lake.
The Keswick—Borrowdale road runs along the eastern shore of the lake and carries a regular bus service. There is a lesser, or unclassified, road along the western shore connecting the villages of Grange and Portinscale.
Derwentwater gave its name to the Earldom of Derwentwater.
The lake is believed to be the last remaining native habit of the vendace (Coregonus vandesius) fish from the 4 originally known sites: Bassenthwaite Lake and Derwent Water in the Lake District and the Castle Loch & Mill Loch in Lochmaben.
So basically I've been working on her 'look' forever. I finally got her eyes and need to work on her outfit. Of course, I've also put her up for sale because I just don't know anymore...
Vulcan, United Launch Alliance’s next-generation American rocket, lifts off in this artist’s rendering. The rocket design leverages the proven success of the Delta IV and Atlas V launch vehicles while introducing advanced technologies and innovative features. Vulcan will have a maximum liftoff thrust of 3.8 million pounds and carry 56,000 pounds to low Earth orbit, 33,000 pounds to a geo-transfer orbit and 16,000 pounds to geostationary orbit with greater capability than any currently available single-core launch vehicle.

There's nothing better than seeing your hard work in printed form, so I was very stoked when a box of lovelies arrived from the awesome Ripe Digital this week!
I pushed my luck and asked Rik if I could have gloss laminate, a spot orange AND rounded corners - he came back with a big fat obama-esque "yes I can"
And so here they are, in all their shiny glory, doing their job of being bright & bold, grabbing peoples attention, telling them to come along to Fifty Fifty on the 6th February for the Launch of Droplet Series 2!
Preparation is going really well, with just over 2 weeks to go, it's all happening! The customs are starting to come back from the artists and they're looking incredible, the actual toys themselves are ready to be sent over for the launch swell as a limited edition t-shirt and tote bag!
If that's not enough, there's even going to be some hand-baked Droplet cupcakes to snack on whilst you're feasting your eyes on all the pretties plus 50 goodie bags for the first 50 purchases, so the early birds will get get the goodies!
For more info here's the facebook event with all the details! www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=228953796402

Most of the vapor trail is high enough it's still lit up by the sun - including the lowest part, which is clearly reddened!
The bright spot in the middle of the frame, below the trail, is Venus. The one in the thicker part is the previous stage after separation.
Probably launched from Vandenberg, judging by the trajectory, and probably SpaceX, based on the fact that they seem to do a lot more launches than anyone else these days.
Somehow I caught a Tufted titmouse just after it launched itself off of a bird feeder. A great combination of sharp detail on the body with blurred action on the wings.
On a misty, Sunday morning my grandson (22yrs) and I took a bike ride up to Rat Lake from Mill Bay Road at Bamberton, BC (on Vancouver Island).
It was a blast! After an exhilarating bike ride, we put the drone up and got some misty video of the lake from 100ft.
The trail is maintained by the Cowichan Valley Regional District while the land is owned by a logging company. After landing the drone, we rode our bikes up to the lake. The trails are very rough.

The Space Launch Systems rocket (SLS), with Orion atop it, left the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center at around 23:00 CET (22:00 GMT) on 17 March to begin its 6.5 km trip to Launchpad LC39B.
The first Artemis mission will send Orion to the Moon and back, farther than any human-rated spacecraft has travelled before. ESA’s European Service Module is the powerhouse that fuels and propels Orion and provides everything needed to keep astronauts alive, including water, oxygen, power and temperature control.
While the rocket will propel Orion to supersonic speeds, the rocket itself is moved slowly but securely to the launchpad. Traveling at a maximum speed of just 1.3 km/h, the 6.5-km voyage took nearly 12 hours to complete on a specially designed crawler vehicle.
Launching Orion and the European Service Module into Earth orbit and onto the Moon requires a huge amount of energy and the size of the mega-Moon rocket SLS is hard to convey in photos.
At 100 m tall, it is roughly the height of the Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben) in London, UK, or 16 giraffes stacked on top of each other. If you laid the rocket on the ground, it would take over a minute to walk from the engines to the tip of the launch abort system.

A United Launch Alliance Delta II rockets lifts off on it's 153rd mission since being introduced in 1989, from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. The workhorse lifted NASA's Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) Satellite into orbit to study the Earth's soil moisture every 2-3 days over the next three years.
So this is the finished product. The Heavy support launcher Model 15 'Brutus' Automatic grenade launcher.(Well, if that isn't a mouthful...) This is the version that is mounted onto Jeeps and whatnot. Expect a carried version soon.
It functions nearly the same way as most Russian grenade launchers, with the gas from the blanks propelling the caseless grenade.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- NASA’s Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN, or MAVEN, spacecraft begins its 10-month journey to Mars, launching atop a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket at 1:28 p.m. EST from Space Launch Complex 41 on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. Launch was on schedule Nov. 18 at the opening of a two-hour launch window. After a 10-month journey to the Red Planet, MAVEN will study its upper atmosphere in unprecedented detail from orbit above the planet. Built by Lockheed Martin in Littleton, Colo., MAVEN will arrive at Mars in September 2014 and will be inserted into an elliptical orbit with a high point of 3,900 miles, swooping down to as close as 93 miles above the planet's surface.

Built 1943 at the Ranelagh Yard, Wooton Creek, Isle of Wight as an Air Sea Rescue Launch for the RAF, GEORGE HAIG has a mahogany double diagonal hull and Perkins diesel engines which replaced the original Perkins petrol engines when she was de-commissioned in 1947. She was taken on charge on 1st June 1943 at Calshot in 238MU, and originally allocated to the base but was transferred to the Admiralty on 23rd February 1944.
She was converted by Leo Robinson (possibly at Tewkesbury) in May 1944 and allocated to Special Forces for Operation Overlord serving with ANCXF (Allied Naval Command eXpeditionary Force). This group was the Anglo-American force that made all the preparations for the invading forces in Normandy. She was allocated to HMS LUCIFER at Swansea on 24th May 1944 and after D-Day was re-allocated to HMS VECTIS in December 1944, She was utilized for boarding party duties until HMS VECTIS was decommissioned in May 1945. Later that year she was laid up but was retained for re-allocation. Two such allocations were authorized but both were subsequently cancelled and on the 10th December 1945 she was laid up at DSCD at Poole.
She was registered as PINNACE at Poole (she was registered as no 17 in Poole 1949) to Maurice Wilkinson Derrick, Redhall, Roestock, St Albans, Staffs. She was then purchased by R.G. Davidge on 1 April 1961for £3100 from John Peate, 30 Elgin Court, Parkstone, Dorset. On Sunday 20 August 1961, PINNACE was rescued by the Shoreham lifeboat after going to the help of a capsized dinghy, when the rigging and sails of the dinghy had fouled her propeller.
In the 1961 season, she visited Shoreham (home port), Gosport, Cowes, Le Havre, Newhaven and Shoreham. In 1962, she visited Pin Mill and Harwich. In October 1962 she was renamed GEORGE HAIG. In 1965/66 she underwent an alteration to make a saloon over the engine room. In the 1960s, she cruised extensively from Lands End to Harwich, Holland, Belgium and through the French canals.
In 1971 immediately after R.G. Davidge had sold GEORGE HAIG, her new owners were arrested for drug smuggling. From 1971 – 1987 her whereabouts were not known, but in 1987 she was bought by Mike Johnson who kept her at Essex Marina on the River Crouch until 1998 and then moved her to Dauntless Boat Yard, Canvey Island.
She is now moored at Leigh on Sea and has her original wheelhouse together with equipment and controls. Her engines are still installed and could be restored to working order. She is one of only a few surviving RAF Air Sea Rescue Launches from the approximately 30 built at Ranelagh Yard in the Isle of Wight in the early 1940s.
The first launch of the Falcon Heavy rocket. The audio is in sync with the video, so the sounds of the rocket are delayed by the 3.9 mile (6.3km) distance. The video continues after the rocket has left the frame for additional audio.
I recorded this video with my old Canon Rebel T1i and 85mm f/1.8 lens. The Magic Lantern logs suggest that the camera started at f/5.6 (cut from what is presented) and then used f/22. This may be the partial explanation for the spots on the frame. I hadn't seen them before, and they aren't present on still images I took from the lens on another camera the same day.
I recorded the audio with a Zoom H2n using its four channel option. I don't know how well I managed to get that into this video, or even if Flickr handles more than two channels.
I made a longer video, too long for Flickr, that also shows the booster landing:
