Surprise, surprise, surprise! We went to the park today to chill for a while and lo and behold look what we found! A brand spanking new kayak launch and fishing ramp! I'm not sure when it fell out of the sky but it is beautiful and sturdy! Thank you, parks department!

Now, without a water resistant camera this would be quite a challenge! I love the looks that I get from people when enter the water with my camera. And even more when I rinse it off with fresh water on the boulevard.
These gulls are very used to the people on the beach. They love to just come up and beg for your French fries or pieces of your sandwich.

These little chaps cant wait to get the breeding thing going. Why wait for Spring anyway? They are nearly in full breeding plumage and we are only half way through winter.
This nest is outside an upstairs window and I had to take the burglar bars off it one night and set up my hide when he wasnt around to notice.
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.

The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket is the only commercial rocket launch where the first stage is landed around 6 minutes after launch.
In this shot I have captured the ascent profile from Pad 39a at Kennedy Space Centre and also the first stage decent onto LZ1 at Canaveral AFB, Florida

This Barnswallow was willing to pose for me after cleaning his self. The sun just came up, just had to make sure I was in the right position to get a side view of the barnswallow and to let the light pass through his wing. Although I was close and in the right position, it all happend so fast for me that I forgot to higher up the ISO and aperture to give it a bigger depth of view. But also with a smaller DoF I'm statis with it!
In meanwhile I have launched my own website Frame-d. Next to my portfolio there is a possibility to buy prints and I will publish articles. I opened with an article about lightning photography, if you are interested please pay a visit.
Don't think I need to mention that I will be pleased if you leave a message of course!
Frame-d is only in Dutch (for now), other readers can use Google translate in the meantime.
Thanks!

"Two NASA research rockets launched from Andøya Space on November 10, 2024, to study energy transfer between the lower and upper atmosphere. – The main scientific objective for VortEx 2 is to study how winds and energy from the lower parts of the atmosphere affect the upper parts, says Thomas Gansmoe, Director Sounding Rockets & Engineering Services at Andøya Space Sub-Orbital. -– The focus of the experiment is to figure out how gravity waves interact with each other, and how these interactions form vortices.
The two research rockets in the mission launched two minutes apart, and the first lift-off occurred Nov 10, at 21:36:00 UTC, reaching a apogee of 358 kilometers, while the second launch vehicle reached 144 kilometers." Source: andoyaspace.no/news-articles/nasa-vortex-2-launches-a-suc...
NASA has announced the winners of the 2016 NASA Student Launch challenge, held April 13-16 near NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.
Vanderbilt University of Nashville, Tennessee, won first place and took home the top prize of $5,000, offered by Orbital ATK, of Promontory, Utah, longtime corporate sponsor of the challenge.
The University of Louisville, in Kentucky, won second place, and Cornell University of Ithaca, New York, placed third. The Rookie of the Year award was presented to the University of Cincinnati in Ohio.
Nearly 50 middle and high school, college and university teams from 22 states demonstrated advanced aerospace and engineering skills related to real-world activities and programs on NASA’s journey to Mars. Teams spent eight months building and testing rockets designed to fly to an altitude of one mile, deploy an automated parachute system, and land safe enough for reuse, while some teams also designed scientific payloads for data collection during flight.

A United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket with the Lucy spacecraft aboard launches from Space Launch Complex 41, Saturday, Oct. 16, 2021, at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Lucy will be the first spacecraft to study Jupiter's Trojan Asteroids. Like the mission's namesake – the fossilized human ancestor, "Lucy," whose skeleton provided unique insight into humanity's evolution – Lucy will revolutionize our knowledge of planetary origins and the formation of the solar system.

A golden new era in space cooperation begins with a flawless countdown and the ontime liftoff of the Space Shuttle Discovery on Mission STS-60. Liftoff from Launch Pad 39A occurred at 7:10:01 a.m., EST. The first Shuttle mission of 1994 carries the first Russian cosmonaut, Sergei K. Krikalev, to fly on the Space Shuttle. The veteran space traveler joins astronauts N. Jan Davis and Ronald M. Sega, mission specialists; Franklin R. Chang-Diaz, payload commander: Kenneth S. Reightler, pilot; and Charles F. Bolden Jr., mission commander, on an eight day journey. Primary payloads of the 60th Space Shuttle flight are the SPACEHAB-2 laboratory and the Wake Shield Facility.

There are three "Benchmarks," commissioned in 2005 to commemorate the 150th Anniversary of the Incorporation of the City of Peterborough, on the banks of Little Lake. This Benchmark, titled "Launching Pad," is designed by Michael Fortune of Lakefield. Imagine yourself sitting in a giant slingshot, ready to be launched out over the blue waters of Little Lake!

This is the launcher that will transport BepiColombo to orbit. The upper part with the spacecraft and the fairing will be integrated in the ‘final assembly building’.
The image captures the transfer of the Ariane 5 launcher from the ‘launcher integration building’ to the ‘final assembly building’ at Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou last week.
BepiColombo is a joint endeavour between ESA and JAXA, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. It is the first European mission to Mercury, the smallest and least explored planet in the inner Solar System, and the first to send two spacecraft to make complementary measurements of the planet’s dynamic environment at the same time.
Launch is currently scheduled for 01:45 GMT on 20 October. Check for updates and follow the launch live

PACIFIC OCEAN (Mar. 9, 2015) - A RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM) is fired from the forward launcher aboard Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Essex (LHD 2) during a live-fire exercise. Live fire events are performed daily by ships underway and are designed to improve combat readiness and support the "Warfighting First" tenet as directed by Commander, Naval Surface Forces and the Chief of Naval Operations. Essex is currently underway conducting a PHIBRON/MEU Integration (PMINT) training exercise with Amphibious Squadron THREE and 15th MEU in preparation for an upcoming deployment.

Her she goes...
Traditional ship launching on wooden ramp greased with fat of sheep... It was really spectacular, the sound of hammers on the kedges to get her going, building op the tension of the thousands who had come to Marstal to see this wonderful rebuilt ship touching the water again.
