Para el juego de esta semana casi no he tenido tiempo de practicar. Los virus se han apoderado de nuestra casa y ayer fue el único de la semana que pude hacer algo. Siento publicarla el último día. Hacía algo de viento y en aquel momento no pensé en llevar algo de peso para inmovilizar el trípode. No me volverá a pasar, prometido.
La montaña que se ve al fondo es la Montaña de Montserrat, una increíble montaña rocosa que tenemos al lado to de casa.
Como anécdota os puedo decir que me creo que un coche que pasó me insultó, seguro pensó que yo era una especie de radar y la chica que trabajaba en la gasolinera desde donde hacia las fotos también vino a ver que estaba haciendo.
“BODY BUILDING IN BALTIMORE -- LIFTING BODY, THAT IS . . . The Air Force’s first manned lifting body has moved off the production jig at Martin Marietta Corporation in Baltimore. The rocket powered wingless vehicle, called SV-5P, is being built for the U.S. Air Force’s Project PILOT (Piloted LOwspeed Test) and is scheduled to make its maiden flight late this year from Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. It will be carried aloft under the wing of a B-52 to 45,000 feet, released to rocket up to 100,000 feet and then make an aircraft type landing at Edwards. SV-5P will attain a speed of Mach 2 in flight but will land at conventional jet fighter speeds. A Martin Marietta-funded jet version, SV-5J, identical except for its engines, is also being built. Although a lower performance vehicle, the jet will be capable of takeoff under its own power and will serve as a test and training vehicle for the critical approach and landing phase of lifting body flight. It also will be available as a backup vehicle to the rocket. In the foreground a test section of the cockpit is used for canopy fitting and pressure checks. Two smaller unmanned versions of the SV-5, the SV-5D, also built by Martin Marietta, have already flown successful orbital return missions under Project PRIME (Precision Recovery Including Maneuvering Entry). PILOT and PRIME are both parts of the Air Force’s Spacecraft Technology and Advanced Reentry Test Program (START). The two projects will provide data on a single lifting body design throughout the total flight regime, orbit to landing. They are aimed at advancing the technology required to contribute to future decisions in the development of manned and unmanned reentry spacecraft.”
THANK YOU! Now THAT’S a caption worth reading!

And it rained all night and washed the filth away
Down New York airconditioned drains
The click click clack of the heavy black trains
A million engines in neutral
The tick tock tick of a ticking timebomb
Fifty feet of concrete underground
One little leak becomes a lake
Says the tiny voice in my earpiece
So I give in to the rhythm
The click click clack
I'm too wasted to fight back
Tick tack goes the pendulum on the old grandfather clock
I can see you
But I can never reach you
And it rained all night and then all day
The drops were the size of your hands and face
The worms come out to see what's up
We pull the cars up from the river
It's relentless
Invisible
Indefatigable
Indisputable
Undeniable
So how come it looks so beautiful?
How come the moon falls from the sky?
("And it rained all night"/Thom Yorke)
