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...
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.

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.
Toothed belts /timing belts are available in different sizes even in loops (which sometimes can be of corrrect length for tinkering).
Went to Ruthven Park for some birding and to tour the inside of the mansion today with Bea and Len...the stairwell didn't disappoint. No flashes allowed and it was quite dark... hand held at ISO1600, F8 on a Nikon 16 to 35mm at 16mm...not many birds around the park either but worth the trip and great company of course!
My first spontaneous spinning batt from Loop, spun up in an evening, two-plied, somewhere under 200 yards. Boy was that fun.

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!!
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.
Colas Rail 56094 crawls into Prestonpans Loop while working light engine from Millerhill to Doncaster as 0E36.
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
A nice lil single spun up from a sample of "Ribbon Dance". I think this will make a fantastic headband!
NS 29G runs around Conrail's Waverly Loop near Oak Island Yard in Newark, NJ. While this train would normally take the Lehigh Line pictured in the background, it was detouring via Port Reading on this day due to track work.

An eastbound NS coal train sweeps around the high side of the Southern loops near Old Fort, NC, on 4-8-16. It will be about 15 minutes before the engines reach the lower side of the loops in the foreground.

This is actually known as the "Yurikamome Loop" as there is a train line called Yurikamome that runs on this loop and over the bridge.
In order to get this angle, I had to walk along a slanted path less than a meter wide. On one side of the path, a 4 meter wall. On the other side, the murky waters of Tokyo Bay. One false step, and into the water I go!
Lens: Tamron 15-30mm F2.8
***Shutter speed***
The shutter time was recorded as 30 seconds, but that's only because I masked in an underexposed photo to retain detail in the bridge which was blown out in the long exposure. So this photo is actually a 220 second exposure, with only the two towers of the bridge at 30 seconds.
The elevated Loop railway structure through and around the Loop area in Chicago. Amazing steel work and pillars supporting the public transport system built above the roads and traffic.
all washed and dry now. custom spun singles. separated the colors in the batt and added angelina.
