The view looking west across Lavender Bay in Sydney.

And here's the iconic disco classic 'You Spin Me Round' by the English band 'Dead Or Alive' (1985). The vocalist is Pete Burns (now dead).

Imparare dal vento - Tiromancino
Vorrei imparare dal vento a respirare
Dalla pioggia a cadere
Dalla corrente a portare le cose
Dove non vogliono andare
E avere
La pazienza delle onde
E andare e venire
Ricominciare a fluire
Un aereo passa veloce
E io mi fermo a pensare
A tutti quelli che partono, scappano
O sono sospesi
Per giorni, mesi, anni
In cui ti senti come uno che si è perso
Tra obiettivi ogni volta più grandi
Succede perché
In un istante tutto il resto
Diventa invisibile
Privo di senso
E irraggiungibile per me
Succede perché
Fingo che va sempre tutto bene
Ma non lo penso
In fondo
Torneremo ad avere più tempo
E a camminare
Per le strade che abbiamo scelto
Che a volte fanno male
Per avere la pazienza delle onde
E andare e venire
E non riesci a capire
Succede perché
In un istante tutto il resto
Diventa invisibile
Privo di senso
E irraggiungibile per me
Succede anche se
Il vento
Porta tutto via con sé
Vivendo
Ricominciare a fluire
Ricominciare a fluire
Ricominciare a fluire
Ricominciare a fluire
I was looking through some of my images from a few years ago and realised that I had not uploaded this particular photo to Flickr. It was, most probably, a once in a lifetime encounter with this wild chameleon as we were walking along a path in Spain.
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fave my images.
Designed primarily for use within the SF sector.
Two uploads in one day? oh bother.
Credit to Shock for the FS and trigger.
I think I kinda prefer this one.
Continuing this week's 'Spitfire' theme - here is a profile view of a Spitfire Mk 1. A key feature is the barely perceptible, tapering, twist to the wing. The leading edge points upwards by 2 degrees where it joins the body, reducing to half a degree at the tip. This subtle twist greatly improved the handling for pilots, but made the structure far more difficult to manufacture. The wing was the design of Canadian-born aerodynamicist Beverley Shenstone, an unsung hero of the Spitfire story.
This aircraft carries the Eagle Squadron badge. Three RAF squadrons were formed with volunteer airmen from the USA in 1940 before American entry into WW2. About 240 men served, of whom around 100 perished. In Sept 1942, the US airmen transferred to the US 8th Army Air Force. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eagle_Squadrons
After waiting patiently, the evening sun finally managed to pierce the cloud on the horizon, instantaneously transforming the scene in front of my lens. Impressive fiery red sunlight illuminates the rock forms of Belstone Ridge, which compliment the beautiful rich greens of the surrounding summer landscape. Well worth the wait! Thanks for looking. Mk
Campbell Park MK on a cold foggy morning. The canal boats are decorated but not much festive cheer in the gloomy conditions...

Arriving early at Duxford for today's mini-airshow, I helped push BM597 back onto the grass. It was much heavier than I imagined - even with 6 men pushing on the leading edges of the main wing, it was hard work! I don't what I expected, never pushed one before. Anyhow, before they closed the cockpit door and canopy (it had started to rain, of course) I managed to get a few shots of the cockpit interior - put my arm right in with my Sony RX100 for this shot.

Close up candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. A little too close as my lens failed to focus properly and his leading eye is a little soft in 1:1 view but I love the shot anyway. Enjoy!
This Seafire Mk.XVII was built by Westlands in 1946. Seen here at 2022 Shuttleworth Fly Navy air show with Chris Gotke as pilot.
