À une prochaine fois Oleg, Yulia et Klim, aucun doute : on se recroisera sur Terre ! Piotr et Mark restent à bord avec nous, avec sans doute une impression étrange aujourd’hui de voir leur ancien vaisseau partir sans eux ! Ils redescendront sur Terre dans 6 mois à bord du Soyouz MS-19 avec lequel Anton est arrivé. Le Soyuz, comme toute capsule spatiale, est certifié pouvoir rester un certain temps en orbite, car certains équipements fonctionnent en permanence, et s’usent petit à petit… comme sur une voiture, un avion ou n’importe quel véhicule, rien ne peut fonctionner indéfiniment, surtout en environnement extrême. Après un peu plus de 200 jours, il faut redescendre sur terre, d’où les rotations régulières (et parfois le changement de véhicule à la montée et la descente comme ici : on laisse le véhicule le plus récent et on redescend avec le plus ancient). Et oui, c’est pareil avec le Dragon. Seule l’ISS ne redescend jamais, et c’est une prouesse technique de l’entretenir in-situ
The Soyuz MS-18 leaving with Oleg, Yulia and Klim. Mark and Pyotr are still here with us even if they travelled with the Soyuz MS-18 "Yuri Gagarin" that left this morning to get here. It must be a weird feeling to see your spacecraft leave! They return home in the Soyuz MS-19 that arrived with Anton, a fresh spacecraft. The Soyuz, like all spacecraft, is certified to stay a number of days in orbit. Equipment suffers from natural wear and tear and like a car, or aircraft nothing can work indefinitely, especially in extreme environment like space. After around 200 days the Soyuz must return to Earth, this is why we have regular rotations (and why sometimes people arrive on a spacecraft and return on another one like today: we leave the more recent spacecraft and take the older one back home). It is the same for the Dragon. Only the International Space Station never returns, and it is through technical prowess from the engineers on Earth that we are able to maintain it while in orbit!

A month ago I became an inhabitant of the legendary Olydorf. I was looking forward to bring a whole lot of photos from the Olympic village daily life, but so far I really haven't managed to do so... Could this be a first one? A night at Oly!

Plus, I'm saving this guy later for something special ;)
I got my lens a bit wet and some poor young lady accidentally kicked my tripod, but I had some fun trying to get people into my night shots. I think this is a 2 second exposure. Hence the blurring. But blurring is OK.
The tripod incident was a bit dramatic. I had my eye to the viewfinder when the whole ensemble jerked out of my hand and away from my eye. A bit of a shock! It must have been a shock for the young lady who'd kicked it, because she turned to say 'I'm really sorry'. I said 'it's OK, really.' But on reflection I feel a bit bad about it. It was my fault really because I was standing in the middle of a narrow street, in the dark, not looking behind me. Oh well. It's not really a big deal. It's just that she seemed so sorry, and it wasn't even her fault.
Macronemurus appendiculatus (female) Antlion
I spotted this Antlion on the tiles on my balcony wall. I quickly got my camera ready with my macro lens attached (as always). No time for bringing the flash or getting the tripod from the car. The camera flash did a fine job, and a chair did its best as a tripod, and i got few shots; this one was the best :)
I apologize to my followers, most of whom are bird lovers, that i mostly publish insects pictures. I am exploring my interests in photography, and i do not want to label myself with any type of photography. I seek to enjoy and share the beauty that i capture with my lens with maximum sharpness and color accuracy that i can obtain.
Many thanks for your comments and faves. I really appreciate it - Raed ♥‿♥
EXPLORE #382 hopefully it will stay :)

Night Fall
The histories that shaped today.
All the long gone festivities.
The outlined visions.
The political alignments.
And the imposed norms.
The threat of penalization.
To systemize accountability.

CN 2031 sits in the night paired up with CN 2155. The duo recently brought in the L531 local/freight into Decatur, Illinois. Currently sitting on the north end of the CN yard awaiting the next crew before heading back south with the L532.
CN 2031 started life as CNW 8532, which later became UP 9054.

Night Street Panning, Laos, LPDR.
I know Chuck Yadmark shoots cars traveling
170mph at night, but he doesn't do it in Laos.
That will certainly get some google searching.
One other thing, ya just don't see much night
panning either, except for what I do .
If I'm wrong, please prove it .......... ;-)
Thank You.
