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.
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

Approximately 100 undergraduate university and community college students from across the United States were on hand to witness the launch of their experiments and technology demonstration projects on a NASA suborbital rocket Aug. 14, from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility. The Terrier-Improved Malemute sounding rocket launched as the sun was rising over the horizon and carried the student projects to an altitude of 98.5 miles. After a brief ride into space, the payload carrying the students’ projects descended by parachute and landed in the Atlantic Ocean approximately 64 miles from the launch site.

"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....
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 😂).

SpaceX Launch From Vandenburg Space Force Base, California
Shot over New Mexico at 36,000 feet on flight from Houston to Salt Lake City. Booster has just seperated. Taken last year.
This was my first close-up look at the Launching Pad, an isolated platform beyond the narrow peninsula that forms The Skywalk. This remnant of the ridge is only 15x20 yards in size, out there by itself about 70 yards from the end of the Skywalk. Four friends and I hiked out to the tip of The Skywalk on Oct 16, 2018, for the first time that has been documented as far as I know. On the Flickr map, I've indicated where the pad is, not the place I stood to photograph it. See the embedded notes for more information.
Having seen the Launching Pad from a distance, I wondered if it would be possible to reach it. My verdict: probably not, for the average hiker. You would have to descend one cliff about 100 feet down, then climb up the other side. A good mountaineer could probably do it. He or she would get a great 360° view for many miles in each direction, and could look down on the Three Wise Men on the far side of the pad.
Across the Paria Canyon 1.3 miles to the north, you can see The Thumb where I shot yesterday's panorama from Atlantis at its base, 4 days earlier.
The Skywalk is a terrific hike I highly recommend. It's mostly flat, easy walking, and just 2 miles from the parking area at the wilderness boundary near Twin White Domes. From the flat prairie where you park, you would never know such amazing vistas await you. I think this will become a popular hike soon; the parking area is just a couple of miles from White Pocket, and the whole round trip could be done in 2-3 hours. Energetic hikers with more time could take in multiple viewpoints from the rim of Forked Tongue Ridge, including Sky Pocket, East Tongue and the incredible West Tongue Viewpoint—I'll be posting another YouTube video of that hike soon. What a surprise that was!
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.

Beadnell is the only west facing bay on the north east coast of England and is very busy with every type of water sport. At low tide all 7 miles of the bay and beach and dunes can be walked south to dunstanburgh castle.

A fawn launches for a quick run. They love to run at this age, but tire quickly. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
We had a terrific and very fun launch evening for Justin Davies, and his wonderful new children's novel, Haarville. We had a lot of very happy young readers in attendance who enjoyed the evening, plus a special cake too (what event is not improved by adding cake???). Justin also told the audience about some of his inspirations, including how some of the small coastal towns around Fife influenced his descriptions of his imaginary town, Haarville.
