The aicraft on the left pulling up hard on the cyclic stick while pushing the joystick forward is a The Westland Scout which was a light helicopter developed by Westland Helicopters. Developed from the Saro P.531, it served as a land-based general purpose military helicopter, sharing a common ancestor and numerous components with the naval-orientated Westland Wasp helicopter. The type's primary operator was the Army Air Corps of the British Army, who operated it in several conflict zones including Northern Ireland and the Falklands War. It was progressively replaced in British service by the Gazelle reconnaissance helicopter, and the larger Westland Lynx battlefield utility helicopter.
The The Aérospatiale Gazelle is the aircraft on the right and is a French five-seat helicopter, commonly used for light transport, scouting and light attack duties. It is powered by a single turbine engine and was the first helicopter to feature a fenestron tail instead of a conventional tail rotor. It was designed by Sud Aviation, later Aérospatiale, and manufactured in France and the United Kingdom through a joint production agreement with Westland Aircraft. Further manufacturing under license was performed by SOKO in Yugoslavia and the Arab British Helicopter Company (ABHCO) in Egypt.
Since being introduced to service in 1973, the Gazelle has been procured and operated by a number of export customers. It has also participated in numerous conflicts around the world, including by Syria during the 1982 Lebanon War, by Rwanda during the Rwandan Civil War in the 1990s, and by numerous participants on both sides of the 1991 Gulf War. In French service, the Gazelle has been supplemented as an attack helicopter by the larger Eurocopter Tiger, but remains in use primarily as a scout helicopter.
This aerial display took place at AAC Middle Wallop which is a British Army base near the Hampshire village of Middle Wallop. The base hosts 2 Regiment Army Air Corps and the Army Aviation Centre. The role of 2 Regiment is training and so AAC Middle Wallop is the base where most Army Air Corps pilots begin their careers. The base was previously under Royal Air Force control and it was then known as RAF Middle Wallop.
A close look at the backround reveals that there are several spectators us the nearby Danebury Hill as a vantage point. Danebury is an Iron Age hill fort about 19 kilometres (12 mi) north-west of Winchester. The site, covering 5 hectares (12 acres), was excavated by Barry Cunliffe in the 1970s. Danebury is considered a type-site for hill forts, and was important in developing the understanding of hill forts, as very few others have been so intensively excavated.
Built in the 6th century BC, the fort was in use for almost 500 years, during a period when the number of hill forts in Wessex greatly increased. Danebury was remodelled several times, making it more complex and resulting in it becoming a "developed" hill fort. It is now protected as a Scheduled Ancient Monument, a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Local Nature Reserve. The spectators are about 1.5 miles (2.4km) distant.

I made this photograph from aboard a northbound Amtrak train passing the site of an Illinois Central Gulf derailment. I don't remember the location other than it was somewhere north of Champaign, Illinois. (Scanned from color negative film)
Part of the abandon newspaper building in Niagara Falls. The newspaper name still exists, but it's just another copy of the 4-5 generic "niagara" news papers that run under diferent mastheads. They have diferent names, but the same content & all come out of the same building.

Off the freeway the historic town of Reed Point has very interesting features for photographers. For railfans the fact MRL runs through town makes it even more interesting.
Running in Beacon Rail Blue, 66791 Neil Bennett (Ex Sweden T66 404) and 66790 (Ex Sweden T66 403) are towed by 66750 through Tutbury and Hatton with 0E70 Longport Freight Depot to Doncaster Marshgate Depot.
002/365
Day 2 and I'm already out of ideas...ha-ha. Seriously though, doing a 365 has caused an interesting side-effect. Once I've taken a picture that I think I'll use, I don't want to take any more pictures for fear of wasting an idea for another day. Anyone else?
The SOOC version of this was very over-exposed. I'm still getting used to the D90 and have made some pretty silly "rookie" mistakes the last few days. It's one of the reasons I'm looking forward to doing a 365. I used Lightroom and Photoshop until I came up with something I liked.
On another note, I decided to forgo the blog and just write down everything here.

Johnson suggests a way through the thicket. Karongwe was a private game reserve, so they owned the place, and they were not shy about off-roading -- if there might be a lion off in the bush, in we went. Those Land Rovers would crunch through just about anything, up to and including small trees. The guides didn't seem to be worried about damage to the ecosystem -- I think they had a holistic understanding of the jeep's part in the ecology, occupying a niche somewhat less damaging than an elephant. Elephants kill trees all the time, stripping them of their nutritious inner bark or pushing them over to reach the leaves, so I think the guides just view the jeep's predations as creating some opportunities for early successional species. So here we are, motoring through where it seems like there couldn't possibly be a jeep-sized hole. I was able to grab a quick macro of one of these flowering shrubs as we were edging past it; IDed on iNaturalist as a spikethorn, probably blue spikethorn (Gymnosporia glaucophylla).
I’d rather staying off-shore than riding a wave
I’d rather dipping my feet in shallow water than going to the deep
But I can set my dreams free and allow them to sail away
To get in touch with my horizon and tell me what they see..
I know that life isn’t easy
There got to be stormy days
And that I have to be courageous
To increase my footage towards the depth
Alone I’m not going there
No way I’m making the first move
I surely need a volunteer
To introduce me to the big blue
-- Inspirer
So any volunteers =)
A side on image with the same train as the previous image showing how Union of South Africa is doing little work. 60009 is seen blowing off climbing Shap at Salterwath with 1Z60, 0444 Bristol - Appleby. DB Class 66, 66172, is doing nearly all the work climbing Shap due to the high fire risk.

I really fancied this top. Its supposed to sit off the shoulder but would it behave!!!! Maybe we have a lot in common
Its paired here with a pair of denim shorts in an attempt at certain look. Don't you just love dressing
A flight is seen at cloud-height, just above center-frame taking off from Sydney's rwy34R.
