PANAVIA Tornado painted to represent GR.1, ZA447/EA ‘MiG Eater’ of RAF No.15 Squadron, Operation Granby, positioned in front of the setting sun at White Waltham.
I took this pano during sunset in the Icelandic Highlands. I couldn’t use a tripod from this position and also had to do some focus stacking on the right part. The distortion was pretty problematic when I first merged all the shots, which became obvious because of all the water but I could make some local adjustments.

Taken with a Samsung S22 Ultra. phone camera using the telephoto lens.
Not the best Ariel photo but what I thought was not possible was that the phone recorded the GPS position whilst in 'Flight Mode', which we were permitted to switch to.
I was not even connected to the QANTAS in flight WIFI.
This was about 20 km SSE of the Township of Finke in the Northern Territory, at an altitude of about 10,600 metres.
I guess in flight mode no signals are sent out by the phone but signals coming in (GPS signals) can be recorded ??
I'm not sure how acurate these GPS signals were but they seem to correspond to what I saw and what is on Google Earth with this and other photos that I took.

Here's another shot of the lil bunnies I saw last weekend....for part 2 of Happy Furry Friday..:O))
Oh...and after six weeks the saga of the Sigma 70-300mm long lens has been sorted....believe it or not, they told me they couldn't fix it, as there were parts that were needed that they couldn't get!!!
Sooooooooooo they gave me a new one....but when I went to pick up the new one this afternoon, they also gave me back the old one!!
Which I thought was OK...as although the auto focus wasn't working, it still worked on manual, so I thought it would be good to have as another back up or something...:O)))
Hoooooooooooowever...when I tried it out...guess what...It's fixed!!!!!!!! How that happened, Lord only knows!!!, not that I'm going to complain..lol
Soooooooo now from not having any long lenses, I have only gone and blinking got three...ROTFLMAO...:o))))
Now I have to work out how to use three at the same time...I now have 2 Sigma 70-300mm and one Tamron 70-300mm lens...lol
Anyhoo....I hope you all have a wonderful weekend...:O)))
My original intent for this day was to chase 23M west with the NS 1069 (Virginian HU) on the point. However, by the time I had gotten to Harrisburg, 23M was already half an hour ahead of me. Upset and just looking to kill an hour or so, I decided to head a little further west to Port Royal.
In the back of my mind I knew that the 62V had 8102 leading, but wasn't expecting it to show. Last week I had gotten burned waiting for 62V to come east because it had gotten held up in Altoona due to track work around Antis. After about 20 minutes of waiting, I heard clear as day on the scanner, "62V Clear Mifflin". I couldn't believe it. And now I can proudly say that I can check this shot off my photography bucket list!

Hinton Ampner House
The current house was built in 1793 but remodelled extensively in 1867.
It was remodelled again for Ralph Dutton, 8th Baron Sherborne, between 1936 and 1939 to his vision of what it would have been like had it been built on its current scale in 1790 – a Georgian country house.
On Sunday, April 3rd 1960, Ralph Dutton went out for a walk leaving the fire burning in the library of his house. Whilst he was out, a cinder from the fire jumped the fireguard and started a blaze. The house was gutted.
It was restored much as it had appeared in 1936. The restoration took 3 years
Ralph Dutton, had no heirs when he died in 1985 so the house was passed to the National Trust.
The house contains Dutton’s priceless collection of ceramics.

Pennsy Position Light Farewell Tour - Part 4
The last stop and furthest west signal we'd visit was this one, Automatic 2752 sitting just east of the famed stone bridge over the Conemaugh River and just west of Johnstown's ex PRR and current Amtrak station.
We'd had a bit of a debate about where this shot was and how to access it amongst our group of seven photographers since neither John Kittredge nor the other guys had ever shot there. So that made this extra cool as it was as new and as much of a treat for them as all the rest were for me.
As it turned out we'd spend a couple hours here shooting trains on this bridge ranging from full brilliant sun to a torrential downpour.
I'll share some of those trains later but here is just one for now that gives a good look at the position lights. This six pack of all ex Conrail SD80MACs surprised us westbound on track 3 just as we were about to leave due to the rain. Glad I got a shot of these 5000 hp unique to CR units on home rails because I knew them when they were new and blue running on the B&A.

Anybody who watched Zoo days on Channel 5, here in the UK yesterday, will have seen this lil guy getting a hair cut..:O))
They are used to being in a cold climate, but a Hmmmmm, "HOT" summer in Colchester, makes them uncomfortable, so they are grateful for the close shave...They look a lot different naked..lol
The Cheetahs in the Zoo were happy about the hair cut though, because they got to play with the cuttings....The progamme is on again in an hour for anybody who's interested..:O))
Anyhoo West Ham are playing live on Sky Sports 2 again this evening, at Home to Hull City...it's a real 6 pointer as we are only 8 points off, of going down..all prayers gratefully received...lol..:O)))
I hope everybody is having a great Hump Day Wednesday..:O))
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ~ The Alpaca (Vicugna pacos) is a domesticated species of South American camelid. It resembles a small llama in superficial appearance.
Alpacas are kept in herds that graze on the level heights of the Andes of Ecuador, southern Peru, northern Bolivia, and northern Chile at an altitude of 3,500 m (11,483 ft) to 5,000 m (16,404 ft) meters above sea-level, throughout the year.[citation needed] Alpacas are considerably smaller than llamas, and unlike llamas, alpacas are not used as beasts of burden but are valued only for their fiber. Alpaca fiber is used for making knitted and woven items, much as sheep's wool is. These items include blankets, sweaters, hats, gloves, scarves, a wide variety of textiles and ponchos in South America, and sweaters, socks, coats and bedding in other parts of the world. The fiber comes in more than 52 natural colors as classified in Peru, 12 as classified in Australia and 16 as classified in the United States. Alpacas and llamas differ in that alpacas have straight ears and llamas have banana-shaped ears. Aside from these differences, llamas are on average 1-2 feet taller and proportionally bigger than alpacas.
In the textile industry, "alpaca" primarily refers to the hair of Peruvian alpacas, but more broadly it refers to a style of fabric originally made from alpaca hair but now often made from similar fibers, such as mohair, Icelandic sheep wool, or even high-quality English wool. In trade, distinctions are made between alpacas and the several styles of mohair and luster.
Behavior ~ Alpacas are social herd animals that live in family groups consisting of a territorial alpha male, females and their young. They are gentle, elegant, inquisitive, intelligent and observant. As they are a prey animal, they are cautious and nervous if they feel threatened. They like having their own space and may not like an unfamiliar alpaca or human getting close, especially from behind. They warn the herd about intruders by making sharp, noisy inhalations that sound like a high pitch burro bray. The herd may attack smaller predators with their front feet, and can spit and kick. Due to the soft pads on their feet, the impact of a kick is not as dangerous as that of a hoofed animal, yet it still can give quite a bruise, and the pointed nails can inflict cuts.
Spitting ~ Not all alpacas spit, but all are capable of doing so. "Spit" is somewhat euphemistic; occasionally the projectile contains only air and a little saliva but alpacas commonly bring up acidic stomach contents (generally a green grassy mix) and project it onto their chosen target. Spitting is mostly reserved for other alpacas, but an alpaca will occasionally spit at humans that, for example, take away food.
For alpacas, spitting results in what is called "sour mouth." Sour mouth is characterized by a loose-hanging lower lip and a gaping mouth. This is caused by the stomach acids and unpleasant taste of the contents as they pass out of the mouth.
Some alpacas will spit when looked at, others will never spit—their personalities are very individualized and there is no hard and fast rule in terms of social behavior, although there is often a group leader, and a group trailer/runt that is picked on by others.
Physical contact ~ Once they know their owners and feel confident around them, alpacas may allow their backs and necks to be touched. They do not like being grabbed. Once socialized well, some alpacas tolerate being stroked or petted anywhere on their bodies, although many do not like their feet, lower legs, and especially their abdomen touched or handled. If an owner needs to catch an alpaca, the neck offers a good handle—holding the neck firmly between the arms is the best way to restrain the animal. Holding the neck from the rear with the animal's head under one's arm is also very effective.
Hygiene ~ To help alpacas control their internal parasites they have a communal dung pile, where they do not graze. Generally, males have much tidier, and fewer dung piles than females who tend to stand in a line and all go at once. One female approaches the dung pile and begins to urinate and/or defecate, and the rest of the herd often follows.
Because of their preference for using a dung pile, some alpacas have been successfully house-trained.

As promised yesterday, here is the fantastic place that our workshop with Exposure Northwest, ended the day! I really feel that this has a "Lord of the Rings" feel to it and expect that Gandolph and the elves would build a fantastic home on the rocky promontory that we positioned ourselves!
This is located in Oswald State Park south of Cannon Beach. The Neahkahnie mountain abruptly rises from the Pacific Ocean to form this fantastic headlands! The waves are ferocious and the power is well respected from our perch. Our workshop probably spent over three to four hours just at this location alone! This location was the cherry on top of the ice cream sundae that Zeb and Aaron served us on Saturday at the workshop! I have all of the participants listed in my previous photo: www.flickr.com/photos/fresnatic/5525484389/ I would encourage you to visit their fine photostreams!
This is a combination of three exposures (-2,0,+2) merged and tonemapped in Photomatix. I cropped and straightened the horizon line in Photoshop, as well as removed some water spots and a darn piece of lint! Final adjustments were done in Lightroom. This image was also the better of the shots I composed for an HDR image as the crashing wave was not blown out in the highlights. I promise to later on post a non-HDR shot.
I have been busy today looking through my contacts photostreams and also connecting with some great new contacts as well. Thank you for your views, comments and faves!

HOGHTON TOWER IS FORTIFIED HILLTOP MANOR HOUSE AND OCCUPIES A COMMANDING POSITION, 650FT ABOVE SEA LEVEL. THE TOWER LIES MID-WAY BETWEEN PRESTON AND BLACKBURN, WITH MAGNIFICENT VIEWS OF LANCASHIRE, THE LAKE DISTRICT AND NORTH WALES. HOGHTON TOWER IS THE ONLY TRUE BARONIAL HALL IN LANCASHIRE. IT HAS BEEN THE ANCESTRAL HOME OF THE HOGHTON FAMILY SINCE THE TIME OF WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR. IT FEATURES A MILE LONG DRIVEWAY TO THE MAIN GATES. THE HOGHTON FAMILY HAS BEEN AT HOGHTON SINCE THE 12TH CENTURY, BUT THE DRAMATIC MANOR HOUSE THAT YOU CAN SEE TODAY IS PRIMARILY A PRODUCT OF THE MID-TUDOR PERIOD. THE HOUSE IS BUILT IN AN ELONGATED FIGURE-8, ENCOMPASSING TWO INNER COURTYARDS ENTERED THROUGH A FIERCELY CASTELLATED GATEHOUSE.
OVER THE CENTURIES MANY ROYAL GUESTS HAVE BEEN WELCOMED AND ENTERTAINED HERE INCLUDING JAMES I, WILLIAM III, GEORGE V & QUEEN MARY, AND PRINCE PHILIP, DUKE OF EDINBURGH. OTHER DISTINGUISHED VISITORS INCLUDE WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, JMW TURNER AND CHARLES DICKENS.
IT WAS HERE, LEGEND HAS IT THAT KING JAMES I KNIGHTED A LOIN OF BEEF HE HAD ENJOYED AND IN REMEMBRANCE OF THE EVENT A PUB WITHIN THE PARISH WAS RENAMED THE SIRLOIN INN.
IN THE SIRLION INN ABOVE THE FIREPLACE IS A STONE PLINTH WITH THE INSCRIPTION:
“ON THE 17TH DAY OF AUGUST 1617 KING JAMES I & VI OF SCOTLAND KNIGHTED THE SIRLOIN OF BEEF AT HOGHTON TOWER NEAR THIS INN”
KING JAMES I VISITED HOGHTON TOWER AS A MIDWAY RETREAT IN 1617 WHEN TRAVELING BACK FROM SCOTLAND TO LONDON.
Swissotel is positioned adjacent Sydney's Sky tower. So i felt rather privileged to have this view for breakfast. (The next day I retracted the blind for the full view but I did rather like part of the story that this glimpse shows.
When you dont have the luxury to shoot with a tripod, u must get a lil creative with ur camera positioning :)
