This is a male American Kestrel, with slate blue wings and no barring on the upper tail. This photo was taken in early May, which is still spring — as can be seen by the fact that the needles are just coming out on the nodes of the branches of the Larch tree in which this small falcon is perched. (Larches are unusual in that they are conifers but not evergreen.) The location was the high elevation plateau east of Osoyoos, British Columbia, Canada.
The view across the city in the previous shot was open and freeing. Turning about 120 degrees though… The numerous buildings with all their different designs, windows, sizes coming together makes me feel as if I’m caged. There’s something of a processor in this landscape, too. Or maybe I’ve seen TRON too many times.
As for the roof itself, Michael and I had to constantly step over a mass of pipes that covered the floor. We followed a few of them around, looking down the side of the building as they individually disappeared, floor by floor.
We experienced the worst vertigo of all on this particular rooftop. We were next to another tower, separated by about two metres of empty space, all the way to the ground. This adjacent tower was about double the height. For whatever reason though, being up in the sky and looking up even further really got the legs wobbling. Eurgh. It was fun being up there, but I wasn’t too sad to head back down to the ground.

I know, I know. Hong Kong, again! I’m not wealthy- I just keep spending all my money on going there. I don’t think they say ‘Fourth Times the Charm’ but this trip was just that - a success. For almost the entire time I kept my mental health issues at bay. It was a good trip. After three disasters - It is really nice to say that.
The beginning is also the end, which is also the middle. It's all happening as we live and breathe. If that makes sense.

My first, and apparently, most successful, Explore.
This image comprises 2 shots taken of the back of the dressing room structure at the National Bowl in Milton Keynes.
EDIT:- As at Mid December 2015; this structure has been dismantled and removed.
I recommend clicking on the expansion arrows icon (top right corner) to go into the Lightbox for maximum effect.

Node 2 is a European-built module of the International Space Station that serves as utility room, docking port and sleeping quarters. It was built in Italy for NASA and installed on the Space Station in 2007.
In this image Portuguese-born photographer Edgar Martins has shot the exterior of a Node 2 mock-up the Erasmus centre in ESA’s scientific and technical heart at ESTEC in Noordwijk, the Netherlands. In space the docking ports are used to connect spacecraft such as the Japanese ferry HTV, commercial supply ship Cygnus and NASA’s Space Shuttle before it retired from service.
Edgar Martins collaborated closely with ESA to produce a comprehensive photographic survey of the Agency’s various facilities around the globe, together with those of its international partners.
The striking results are collected in his book entitled The Rehearsal of Space and The Poetic Impossibility to Manage the Infinite.
Characteristically empty of people, Martins’ long-exposure photos – taken with analogue wide film cameras – possess a stark, reverent style. They document the variety of specialised installations and equipment needed to prepare missions for space, or to recreate orbital conditions for testing down on Earth.
This artistic collaboration was part of a number of events marking the 50th anniversary of European cooperation in space in 2014.

Explore the International Space Station's Tranquility module from all angles on your mobile phone or headset
Node-3 Tranquillity provides life-support for the International Space Station. Part of Tranquility is ESA's Cupola observation module, a seven-window dome-shaped structure from where the Space Station's robotic arm, Canadarm 2, is operated as it offers a panoramic view of space and Earth. Launched on Space Shuttle flight STS-130 in February 2010, Node-3 was attached to the port side of Node-1 Unity. Read more on ESA's Node-3 minisite

"Node", a 102 ft. tall pubic art sculpture by New York artist Roxy Paine (1966- ) at the Yerba Buena/Moscone MUNI (Municipal Transportation) station in San Francisco, California.
"Node" is the tallest freestanding sculpture in the city. The stainless-steel form reaches upward from a 5 1/2-foot-thick base reminiscent of a tree trunk. From there, it curves as it extends upward gradually tapering until it's just a quarter of an inch thick at its peak. The sculpture was intended to function as a way-finding landmark for the station.
