Another shot from last weekend's OffShoot outing to the Petit Volant circus and performing arts centre in Sandyford, Dublin.
"I believe there’s nothing like flying. Dancing and playing in the air provide a unique feeling of freedom, peace and accomplishment. I also believe that circus is for everyone, regardless of age, gender or size. It’s a place for collective joy, where the limits are our imagination.
Our aerial circus classes provide everyone with the opportunity to experience something truly distinctive. You will develop many acrobatic skills, work out your body and, at the same time, let your mind fly to places you’ve never imagined could exist. You will build up your confidence, team work and social skills. Oh yes, because you will never be alone… Flying is a collective experience, just look up at the sky and you will understand what I mean."

Tugs SD Independent and SD Bountiful putting the finishing touches to the berthing of Type 23 frigate HMS Portland (F79) in HMNB Portsmouth. She was ushered into the harbour and manoeuvred quickly and skilfully into her berth to enable rapid precautionary medical attention for a number of personnel following accidental chemical contamination of the drinking water purification system. According to the Royal Navy the next day, all those taken to hospital were expected to make a full recovery, with the majority already having been discharged.

Description:
Nestled amidst the celestial splendor of Orion, M78 emerges as a mesmerizing portrait of interstellar artistry. This iconic reflection nebula, located about 1,350 light-years away, owes its ethereal glow to the light of young, massive stars scattering off the surrounding cosmic dust. Captured with a precision 9.25-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope at a focal length of 1635mm, this image delves into the heart of one of the Orion molecular cloud complex's brightest treasures. Dark tendrils of dust weave through the nebula like veins, while the faint blue haze hints at the energetic processes shaping this stellar nursery. In the proximity of neighboring giant nebulae like the Orion Nebula (M42) and Barnard's Loop, M78 feels like a hidden jewel in the vast tapestry of cosmic creation. This detailed view not only highlights its scientific importance as a site of active star formation but also invites the viewer to imagine the dynamic forces at work in this bustling galactic neighborhood.

Installation of 7 steel cables for a new wood chips conveyor system. Each cable was about 700 meters long. Flying at extremely low altitude and in real "slow motion" above a large industrial site requires maximim precision. Only most experienced pilots will be permitted to such a job. This mission was completed in 4 hours, a conventional intallation on the ground would have taken several days.

This is the heartbeat before the roar.
A young kicker locks in, body aligned, arms wide like wings in flight, as the rugby ball leaves the tee and slices through the air. There’s no hesitation in his form — just raw intent, laser focus, and that signature explosive release. It's a moment built on repetition, discipline, and instinct… and this frame captures it all.
The black and white edit strips the image down to its essence — no distractions, just form and emotion. It highlights contrast: the light on the player’s jersey against the soft falloff of the blurred background, the clean silhouette of the kicking leg slicing across the foreground, and the textures of torn grass trailing from his boot.

The Blue Angels practicing for the upcoming air show in Vero Beach. I used to photograph them, and the Thunderbirds, from outside Andrews AFB every year. I'm always amazed. I have yet, though, to actually attend an airshow. Maybe next time.
An old information sign above a Victorian letter box on the wall at the Ham Gate entrance to Richmond Park in west London. And there’s nothing like precision in numbers, is there… not 1¾ miles, but 1 mile and 1,370 yards to Robin Hood Gate, or 38 yards longer if you travel via White Lodge.
White Lodge, by the way, is a Grade 1 Listed Georgian mansion which today is home to the Royal Ballet School for students between the ages of 11 and 16.

Thank you for all your views and uplifting comments!!
First off, I would like to say that I am very behind with uploading photos, and it's only going to get worse as I start my new job in the next few weeks. But anyways, it's the middle of the night in Pewaukee,WI as CP 581 sits tied down with a now solo NS EMD SD80MAC, a recrew showed up at about 2300, took the second unit to eastwards to Rondout, and left the Mac here dead in the water. Even as of now, this train has yet to move an inch
Precision National Corporation SD24 6335 on the ICG at Markham, Illinois on an unknown day in October 1979, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler.

The practise it takes to get these tricks perfect. I see these guys practising for hours at a time.
