Poorly captured satellite launch this morning. Still an amazing sight that makes me think of HG Wells.
Sorry, can’t chat—gotta wing it! This Gray Catbird had better things to do than sit around and get his picture taken.

Taken from the fells, between Ashness Bridge & Falcon Crag, looking across Derwent Water, the launch is making the "turn" towards Lodore as it comes straight across the lake, probably either Annie Mellor or Lady Derwentwater.
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.
I was heading back to the car on Saturday when i thought i would try and get a shot of the famous launches and rowing boats at Keswick.I had to settle for these two as the place was inevitably swarming with more togs.Still i had this little piece to myself and with the distant pink clouds in shot i wasn't really complaining.

Today The Big Lemon launched its first solar powered electric bus. The bus which was once a standard diesel Optare Solo has been converted to run fully electric and is powered by solar panels located on the roof of the depot. The bus has been fully refurbished inside and is fitted with wifi. This is the first solar bus to arrive with the second shortly. The launch day consisted of a speech from all partners involved in the project followed by unveiling of a plaque then a tour of the city on the bus followed by a depot tour.
Nearly 40 years later, a "Rocket" returns to it's one-time launching pad. This is Chicago's LaSalle Street Station, the eastern terminus for the Rock Island Railroad, where the famous "Rocket" streamliners began their journeys west. But much has changed in this time. The Rock Island went out of business in the 1980s, the original LaSalle Street headhouse was torn down about the same time, and the "Rockets" are all but a distant memory.
Enter 2017: In partnership with Metra, the Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society put together four "Joliet Rocket" excursions an homage to the once "Mighty Fine Line." Featuring vintage equipment and their own famous Nickel Plate 4-8-4 #765 for power, passengers were treated to a recreation of a 1940's era train ride from Joliet to Chicago and back over the former Rock Island mainline. Passengers also got to experience a fine lunch or dinner at the station, as well as a photo runby (originally scheduled to take place at Tinley Park) of the giant steam beast. This would be the first time since the 1960s that a steam locomotive would again grace the platforms of LaSalle Street Station and sound of a steam whistle would echo off the Canyons of Chicago. This trip was so popular that it would return for a second year in 2018.
Seen here is the second run of the Joliet Rocket on Saturday, June 17th. Heat and humidity forced many passengers to return back to the air conditioning in the train after finishing their dinner & drinks. But those of us who rode in the Iowa Pacific full-dome car wanted to linger as long as we could outside, because the AC conked out on the car during the morning run, effectively turning it into a giant sauna.

It's a bit of a mindset shift to switch back to photographing barrels outdoors. Fortunately, shooting with strobes has taught me to be more deliberate about when I photograph, so I no longer spray-and-pray when photographing. It's saved a TON of time uploading and saved tons of space on my hard drive.

Every year, residents and visitors of Alma, NB send off the Lobster Fleet with a huge celebration including fireworks, pipers, and lots of local food. The fleet departs with the first high tide, whenever that occurs. This year (October 14, 2018), the tide was high enough to float the boats at 2 AM, so that's when the fesitvities occurred!
"Ready to Launch" by Patti Deters. This fishing kayak is ready to head off for a day of peaceful fishing in northern Minnesota surrounded by a forest of trees with puffy clouds overhead. The public launch is located on the shores of Lake One, the area is remote with a wilderness feel. You can see two fishing poles on the little boat, just waiting for the owner to come back and push off to adventure. If you like outdoor nature photography, please see more landscapes, waterscapes, and other scenic vistas at patti-deters.pixels.com/featured/ready-to-launch-patti-de....
One foot on and one foot off on this launch capture folks. Thought I would end the week with this express train, it's great when you get them to pose, but this is not easy, besides I have some series coming up on a few things I really like and hope you do as well. Have a great Sunday, hope your team wins, oh thanks for visiting as always.
