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.

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.
The launch pad is 28.5 m deep and 200 m wide, formed with enough concrete to fill 67 Olympic sized swimming pools – approximately 167,500 cubic metres. It comprises a 700 tonne steel launch table that supports Ariane 6. Steel deflectors funnel the fiery plumes of Ariane 6 at liftoff into the exhaust tunnels buried deep under the launch table. Four lightning protection masts, and a water tower for deluge systems are also part of the launch pad.

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.
Stagecoach Western officially launched their 27 new ADL E400 MMC's to the public on the 5th January at the Irvine Maratime Museum. Here 4 are lined up as part of an official photoshoot.
Seward small boat launch. Seward has some of the best sunrises in South central Alaska. If you zoom in on the boat launch area you will see the two sea otters that were hanging out on the ramp. It is the same sea otter from my last post
A quick load just after launch - I will load more and higher res soon

The Full "Worm Moon" rises up behind the top of the San Diego Mormon Temple.
The Worm Moon signals the end of winter and the start of spring as ground thaws and beetle larvae / earthworms emerge. It is also sometimes called the sap moon, crow moon, or sugar moon, referring to maple syrup tapping and bird migration.
I feel like this looks like a rocket ship getting ready for take off.
This shot won honorable mention in the night category at the 2026 International Exhibition of Photography at the San Diego Fair
"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....

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.

A more substantial probe launch and tracking platform...
Rover on tracks and 2 persons wide (just), with a tracking array, and space for different probes that can be launched with a rocket. And a rocket trailer that doubles as launch platform.
Not perfect yet, but I was in a bit of a hurry to get this done in celebration of the real Black Hole picture presented today (April 4 2019).
The model depicts a spaceship taking off.
This MOC was built for Space Jam 2021 12x12 Vignette category.
Soli Deo Gloria!
La mission se termine et ça a été un vrai plaisir de la partager, à travers mes photos de la Terre ou de notre quotidien à bord, avec celles et ceux qui étaient intéressés ou qui voulaient découvrir le monde des missions spatiales. J’aurais adoré, enfant, pouvoir suivre ce genre d’aventure de près, comme le prouve la photo ci-jointe : je salue de la main ma famille qui vient de m’accompagner sur le pas de tir, bien harnaché dans ma fusée alors que je m’apprête visiblement à décoller vers des galaxies lointaines (mon frère, pas plus impressionné que ça, a décidé de se poser tranquille dans le premier étage du lanceur).
Hey it’s almost time to go home: I have enjoyed very much capturing imagery of Earth, and of our journey up here, and I have been happy to share the mission with whoever was interested. I remember being fascinated by space as a kid: proof attached as I’m waving goodbye to my family from the launchpad, already strapped on the rocket and ready for launch (my brother, not impressed, decided to ride inside the first stage 😂).

Marsh driftwood and Florida shrubbery frame the liftoff phase of the Space Shuttle Endeavour as it begins the STS-69 mission. Liftoff from Launch Pad 39A occurred at 11:09:00:52 a.m. (EDT), September 7, 1995. The crew of five NASA astronauts was embarking on an 11-day multifaceted mission featuring two free-flying scientific research spacecraft, a spacewalk and a host of experiments in both the cargo bay and the middeck. Onboard were astronauts David M. Walker, Kenneth D. Cockrell, James S. Voss, James H. Newman and Michael L. Gernhardt.
