Just south of Park City, UT is the Alpine Loop, Miles of trees and especially Aspen groves. A must see when in the Park City area.
The Cygnus Loop
50+ hours of integration time. 28 different image panels. 3 years in the making!
Found directly overhear in mid to late summer in midnorthern latitudes, the Cygnus Loop spreads its gassy tendrils across the sky. It can be found in the dusty lanes of the Milky Way just by the wing of Cygnus, the swan, glowing in various parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. The nebula complex is located about 2500 LY from Earth and spans 130LY and contains several named "objects" like the Eastern Veil (Witch's Broom). Pickering's Triangle, and the Western Veil. These gassy wisps are all that remain of a star that went supernova about 21000 years ago, spreading its enriched guts across the galaxy.
The bulk of this project was shot in the summer of 2019. I've now revisited with fresh eyes, new tools, and an improves post processing skillset. I've added more data to it than the original, going back and finding other images I'd previously shot of various parts of the nebula, and integrated them into this new image. This image combines nearly 50 hours of integration time with over 20 individual panels to complete the mosaic. The result is a large 56 Megapixel size image of one of the largest deep sky objects in our night sky.

Recently popped to the Mach Loop to photograph military aircraft that fly through. Took this while it was quiet.
My first spontaneous spinning batt from Loop, spun up in an evening, two-plied, somewhere under 200 yards. Boy was that fun.
Yes, I was at the Roskilde Airshow in August. Lots of planes and cool displays. This was one of the better ones. The German Air Force Airbus did a loop, not a complete one but a backside loop...like! Took a series of shots of the loop and have put it together here in a slightly compressed form.
It is a large, heavy aircraft and the fact that the pilots did a loop at a relatively low altitude in front of an audience of several thousand was nothing short of impressive in my eyes.
The pilots of course did more than just the loop, among other things they landed the plane in less than 200 meters and with everything together the display showed enormous skill on the part of the pilots, but also an unusually agile and easy-to-handle aircraft for its size.
Impressive!
batt was layered black, white, and gray, the gray being carbonized bamboo. i separated the layers before spinning. didn't think anything of it until i finished washing it and saw difference in texture once dry. the carbonized bamboo is fluffier and squiggly. each spin, something new to learn. :-)

Someone looped this wire back at a break in the fence. To the right of the fence post is an animal trail frequented by deer, feral cats and occasional runaway chickens.
March batt of the month from Steph (Loop) It's just incredible!!!
It's greens, and coppers and these rich teals and burgandys.. with copperishgreenish sparkles and shredded money!! She even sent a little bag of sequins to spin in with it!! It's really breathtaking!
I'm SOOOOO excited to see what next month brings!!

With a few more reverse curves to go, the AFT will soon be traversing the famous Techachapi Loop as the train makes its way south over the pass. Visible above the smoke plume is the top level of the loop itself.

Looking through an arrow loop on the roof of Dover Castle's Great Tower. You can see St. Mary Church, the ruin of an old Roman lighthouse and the sea behind.
I hope they were never forced to shoot their own church through this loop...
Cumbrs & Toltec 488 loops through Tanglefoot Curve with our photo freight. This was near the end of the event, and so too is it near the end of my binge-posting pics from the event.

Good day at the Mach Loop. Not much in the way of aircraft but the weather was glorious! These were taken on Cad East but next time I'll be on Cad West even tho the light is more challenging.
Having completed a trip around the Loop, CTA Purple Line run 512 crosses the Chicago River above Wells Street, approaching Merchandise Mart station. Tower 18, and a Pink Line train stopped at Washington/Wells, are in the background.
Think this is an F15 C Eagle from USAF Grim Reaper Sqdn at Lakenheath going through the Mach Loop. We were looking down from 1,350 feet if my app was correct, onto the top of some planes as their roared thro'.
The valleys from Dolgellau down to Machynlleth make up a loop of 40 miles distance where the low level high speed jet training takes place.
{The name "Mach Loop" is not derived from the air speed but from the local abbreviation of the town Machynlleth at the base of the loop incidentally.}
"US airmen have spent more than two weeks painting modern F-15 jets to look like their World War Two counterparts.
The 48th Fighter Wing, based at RAF Lakenheath, has unveiled the first of three "heritage" aircraft to mark the 75th anniversary of D-Day in June.
American crews at the base in Suffolk painted the fighter jet to look like a P-47 Thunderbolt, with chequered nose, stripes and several national insignias.
Col Will Marshall said it paid tribute to "the 48th Fighter Wing legacy".
The commemorative work - which also saw a Statue of Liberty painted on the F-15's tail - took just over 640 hours and used £11,500-worth of paint." Quote from BBC website
Norfolk Southern Asheville based local P87 drops down the famed 'Old Fort Loops' on their daily run from Asheville to Bridgewater and back. With the closing of the Asheville to Linwood portion of the S-Line as a mainline route locals P87 during the day and P60 at night are the only two trains that traverse this famed stretch of track. Here the train navigates through one of the many rock cuts in the loops, as it prepares to duck into one of the many tunnels in the loops.

A nice lil single spun up from a sample of "Ribbon Dance". I think this will make a fantastic headband!

66731 "Captain Tom Moore" emerges from the undulations in the wheat fields near Great Bourton. The GBRf 66 had waited 90 minutes in Fenny Compton loop to allow the morning load of stone to depart the Banbury terminal.
