No details given for this mini diorama seem at Model Mania, Locomotion, Shildon.
Very well modelled though.
The American flag heralds the flight of Apollo 11, the first Lunar landing mission in this composite image released by NASA. The Apollo 11 Saturn V space vehicle lifted off with astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr., at 9:32 a.m. EDT on July 16, 1969, from Kennedy Space Center's Launch Complex 39A.

The Space Shuttle Atlantis streaks skyward as sunlight pierces through the gap between the orbiter and ET assembly. Atlantis lifted off on the 42nd space shuttle flight at 11:02 a.m. EDT on August 2, 1991 carrying a crew of five and TDRS-E. A remote camera at the 275-foot level of the Fixed Surface Structure took this picture.

Full Description:The Space Shuttle Columbia on Pad 39A during the picture-perfect ascent of sister ship Discovery after lift off of STS-31. This was the first time since January 1986 that there was a Shuttle on each pad, which are separated by 1.6 miles. Discovery, carrying a five-member crew and the Hubble Space Telescope, lifted off at 8:34 a.m. EDT, April 24. Columbia, with its Astro-1 observatory, was scheduled for launch in May.

These now dormant rails were once used to launch boats into the resevoir. Today they serve as a nice lead into the picture.
One of the challenges when building Airwolf was the ventral missile launcher. I wanted to have it properly retractable and covered by a sliding door. Instead of my normal photo-series, I shot a quick video to demonstrate the functionality.
This boat launch is part of the Ram Light, located off the Ocean Point shoreline at Grimes Cove. Near Boothbay Harbor. It was built in 1883. Prior to its existence, the perilous rocks of Ram Island were marked by lanterns tended by local mariners.
They were crude and many times could not be seen beyond 100 feet. Now the light is visible for 13 miles.
Ram Light can be seen from a distance at Grimes Cove or closer by boat.

Taken from the viewing gallery in The Shard - a highly recommended experience, if you have the chance - this is 30, St Mary Axe (AKA 'The Gherkin') looking like it's about to blast off for the moon - especially with the Willis Building (51 Lime St) acting as the support tower!
I'm quite pleased with this mono conversion, as it shows the intricate structure of the windows very nicely...
This rocket was launched from Ny Ã…lesund, Svalbard in early December to study the upper atmosphere. I was present as part of the team and took the opportunity to try a rocket launch shot on large format film. This was done on my Tachihara with Fuji Provia 100F film. The exposure was started about two hours before launch at f/8 to expose the sky, star trails, and distant landscape. About 30 seconds before launch I stopped the lens down to f/16 to expose the foreground lit by the rocket like a giant flash. I'm fairly proud of getting this on large format film since there's no way to meter or do any kind of test exposure.
Camera: Tachihara 4x5 field
Lens: Caltar-S 135mm f/5.6
Film: Fuji Provia 100F
The Apollo 16 Saturn V space vehicle carrying astronauts John W. Young, Thomas K. Mattingly II, and Charles M. Duke, Jr., lifted off to the Moon at 12:54 p.m. EST April 16, 1972, from the Kennedy Space Center Launch Complex 39A.

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launches with NASA’s Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) spacecraft onboard from Launch Complex 39A, Thursday, Dec. 9, 2021, at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The IXPE spacecraft is the first satellite dedicated to measuring the polarization of X-rays from a variety of cosmic sources, such as black holes and neutron stars. Launch occurred at 1:00 a.m. EST.

SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launch from Vandenberg AFB, California on Monday June 16, 2025.
It's been a while since I've captured a SpaceX launch. This one is over Bombay Beach.
I made this shot look like the rocket took off from Sean Guerrero's ReInCarNation art in the background to the right.
Shot with a Canon EOR and Canon RF 15-35mm lens at 10 sec f/6.3 ISO 200.
The art installation in the foreground is the Temple of Floating Compression by Glass House Arts.
The Temple of Floating Compression went to Burning Man 2023!
Previously it was at Arizona's regional burn Saguaro Man, and served as the temple for San Diego's Regional Burn, YOUtopia.
The main structure is now permanently installed in Bombay Beach, on the shores of the Salton Sea. Instead of the central tensegrity icosahedron, it features a swing! Lighting by Kevin Key Photography.

Voyager 2 was launched August 20, 1977, sixteen days before Voyager 1 aboard a Titan-Centaur rocket. Their different flight trajectories caused Voyager 2 to arrive at Jupiter four months later than Voyager 1, thus explaining their numbering. The initial mission plan for Voyager 2 specified visits only to Jupiter and Saturn. The plan was augmented in 1981 to include a visit to Uranus, and again in 1985 to include a flyby of Neptune. After completing the tour of the outer planets in 1989, the Voyager spacecraft continued their journey toward interstellar space.

Shanghai Maple was a carmaker founded in 2000 as Shanghai Jieshida (Jmstar) Enterprise Development, but renamed Shanghai Maple Guorun Automobile after Geely took a share in the company. In 2008 Shanghai Maple was fully consolidated into Geely. Shanghai Maple produced unlicensed copies of the Citroën ZX (Fukang). Maple's line-up included the Marindo, Hisoon and Hysoul.

Launch of ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot to the International Space Station (ISS) on Crew-12. A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will lift off from Space Launch Complex 40 at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, USA, no earlier than Friday 13 February 2026 at 10:15 GMT/11:15 CET (5:15 local time). Sophie flies as Mission Specialist 1 on the Dragon spacecraft. The other Crew-12 members are NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway, respectively commander and pilot of the mission, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrei Fedyaev, Mission Specialist 2. The French ESA astronaut is the first of her class, the Hoppers, to fly. Only two years and ten months separate the start of her astronaut training from the launch of her first long-duration mission – a record! Sophie has chosen the name εpsilon for her mission, which may last up to nine months. On board the Station, she will conduct a wide range of tasks, including European-led scientific experiments and medical research, support Earth observation activities, and contribute to operations and maintenance on the Station.

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launches with the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) spacecraft onboard, Friday, Dec. 16, 2022, from Space Launch Complex 4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. Jointly developed by NASA and Centre National D'Etudes Spatiales (CNES), with contributions from the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and United Kingdom Space Agency, SWOT is the first satellite mission that will observe nearly all water on Earth’s surface, measuring the height of water in the planet’s lakes, rivers, reservoirs, and the ocean.

An otter ready to grab his lunch. Taken, once again, at the Tamar Otter and Wildlife Centre in Cornwall. This little fellow was just getting fed his lunch from the keeper who was telling the assembled crowd all about this type of otter. Needless to say, I cant remember what type he was...
Anyway, he held this pose for about 10 seconds, which gave me plenty of time to get the composition right (IMHO) and dial in some exposure compensation (damn that bright sunlight on a summers day!)

A break for Art Day! I actually did this painting back in September of 2017.
Have to say, I grew up going down to the Cape and seeing launches when Dad was working for NASA, his entire career, and all my growing up. I wish I had it to do over and would be more aware!
