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.

Chicago Freight Car Australia commissioned the re-manufacture of 12 former New South Wales 442 class locomotives, the work being undertaken in Australia by Goninan.
The launch of GL101 was held at Sydney's Powerhouse Museum on 28 January 2003.
While the frames, fuel tanks and bogies from the 442s were used, other refurbished parts were GE components, including the 7FDL-12 prime movers, recovered from withdrawn Conrail C30-7A locomotives.
The GL class were, and still are, hired out to Australian freight operators by CFCLA (now Rail First Asset Management), although GL101 is just a rusty hulk these days.

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!

Double-crested Cormorant taking off from a salt marsh near Mountain View, Ca this morning.
This is probably my favorite bird in the SF Bay Area; it is a powerful swimmer, it's reflective eyes assist with hunting prey down along the bottom, and the distance it travels underwater and the time it stays down is quite impressive. This morning I caught the Pelicans waiting for the Cormorants to stir things up, and then feed up on the surface.

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.

Attended the launch of Couture Chapeau presents "Trapeze"
The creator has set out for 1L a trapeze suit and hat (Im in my giant so I can resize the hat)
"Mystical, balletic and playful, 'Trapeze' is a twist on a collection I did in 2009 inspired by Dale Chihuly's glass sculptures.
The twist, however, is that 'Trapeze' now focuses on the mannequins used to display the hats. It highlights the precariousness, drama and art of trapeze dancers and their dangerous feats of grace. "
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

More than 800 students from across the U.S. and Puerto Rico launched nearly 50 high-powered, amateur rockets April 15, near NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, during the Agency's annual rocket competition.
For the past nine months prior, teams of middle school, high school, college, and university students were tasked to design, build, and launch a rocket and scientific payload to an altitude between 4,000 and 6,000 feet, while making a successful landing and executing a scientific or engineering payload mission.
Student Launch is one of NASA's eight Artemis Student Challenges - a series of activities providing students access to the Artemis program. Through Artemis, NASA will return humans to the Moon for long-term exploration, including landing the first woman and first person of color on the lunar surface, missions that will help pave the way for future missions to Mars.
The 2023 launch event and award ceremony are available to view on NASA's Marshall YouTube and Student Launch Facebook pages.
