The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress is a four-engine heavy bomber aircraft developed in the 1930s for the United States Army Air Corps (USAAC). Competing against Douglas and Martin for a contract to build 200 bombers, the Boeing entry outperformed both competitors and exceeded the Air Corps' expectations. Although Boeing lost the contract because the prototype crashed, the Air Corps was so impressed with Boeing's design that they ordered 13 more B-17s for further evaluation. From its introduction in 1938, the B-17 Flying Fortress evolved through numerous design advances.
The B-17 was primarily employed by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) in the daylight precision strategic bombing campaign of World War II against German industrial and military targets. The United States Eighth Air Force, based at many airfields in southern England, and the Fifteenth Air Force, based in Italy, complemented the RAF Bomber Command's nighttime area bombing in the Combined Bomber Offensive to help secure air superiority over the cities, factories and battlefields of Western Europe in preparation for the invasion of France in 1944. The B-17 also participated to a lesser extent in the War in the Pacific, early in World War II, where it conducted raids against Japanese shipping and airfields.
From its pre-war inception, the USAAC (later USAAF) touted the aircraft as a strategic weapon; it was a potent, high-flying, long-range bomber that was able to defend itself, and to return home despite extensive battle damage. Its reputation quickly took on mythic proportions, and widely circulated stories and photos of notable numbers and examples of B-17s surviving battle damage increased its iconic status. With a service ceiling greater than any of its Allied contemporaries, the B-17 established itself as an effective weapons system, dropping more bombs than any other U.S. aircraft in World War II. Of the 1.5 million metric tons of bombs dropped on Germany and its occupied territories by U.S. aircraft, 640,000 tons were dropped from B-17s.

This image was a bit of an experiment. I added Aurora HDR 2018 to my set of software tools seven months ago, but I haven’t used it much. While I often bracket, PENTAX K-1 RAW files are so malleable I can normally get the look I’m after from a single frame. However, this was a shot needed more than one shot and the full HDR treatment. This image of Saint Paul’s Cathedral was taken from a spot under Blackfriars Bridge. Seven exposures from around -6.5EV to +4.5EV were used to feed Aurora HDR 2018 the data it needed for this image. Taken using my PENTAX K-1 using a PENTAX 24-70mm f/2.8 zoom with each frame developed from RAW using DxO PhotoLab. All other edits performed using Affinity Photo.

The harbor mouth faces north east and is bounded to the north by Saint Elmo Point and further sheltered by an isolated breakwater and is bounded to the south by Ricasoli Point. Its north west shore is formed by the Sciberras peninsula, which is largely covered by the city of Valletta and its suburb Floriana. This peninsula also divides Grand Harbor from a second parallel natural harbor, Marsamxett Harbor. The main waterway of Grand Harbor continues inland almost to Marsa. The south eastern shore of the harbour is formed by a number of inlets and headlands, principally Rinella Creek, Kalkara Creek, Dockyard Creek, and French Creek, which are covered by Kalkara and the Three Cities: Cospicua, Vittoriosa, and Senglea. The harbor has been described as Malta's greatest geographic asset.
With its partner harbor of Marsamxett, Grand Harbor lies at the centre of gently rising ground. Development has grown up all around the twin harbors and up the slopes so that the whole bowl is effectively one large conurbation. Much of Malta's population lives within a three kilometer radius of Floriana. This is now one of the most densely populated areas in Europe. The harbours and the surrounding areas make up Malta's Northern and Southern Harbor Districts. Together, these districts contain 27 of 68 local councils. They have a population of 213,722 which make up over 47% of the total population of the Maltese islands.

The wetland rookeries are slowly winding down a bit, though many of the youngsters are still hanging around, waiting for a free handout by the parents. Gone are the days of the incessant stick retrieval flights back and forth from the nest to the trees and so forth. Yes, it was a good year of nesting activity, especially for the wood storks.
This great egret is so beautiful as it dutifully flies off in search of the perfect branch, twig, or stick to please its mate and carefully place in the nest. Birds this time of year are quite territorial with each other, which is only expected, since they live so close to each other on the islands of trees in the natural rookery. Some actions are not fun to watch ... I, like many others, prefer to call my attention to the nicer side of the breeding season.... flights, nest building, mating, and special moments shared between the mated pairs. :-)
I love the way that the light is reflecting upon the underside of its extended wings.
Thanks for stopping by to view. A new blog will post tonight, so if you haven't gotten a chance to check out the iguana, starlings, and eagles, be sure to do so by clicking the link at: www.tnwaphotography.wordpress.com

St. Julian's (Maltese: San Ġiljan) is a town in Malta situated along the coast, north of the country's capital, Valletta. It is known for tourism-oriented businesses, such as hotels, restaurants and nightclubs which are centred mainly in an area known as Paceville.
The town is subdivided into informal districts which are Paceville, Ta' Ġiorni, Tal-Għoqod, St Andrew's, as well as the regions surrounding St George's Bay, Spinola Bay, Balluta Bay, and Il-Qaliet cliffs.
St Julian's is a popular town, usually flowing with tourists, especially during the summer months. It is also a well-sought after destination by the Maltese.
The population of Saint Julian's is 10,261 people.
The town has only one skyscraper, the 98m tall Portomaso Tower.
The town is named after its patron saint; Saint Julian who is widely known as Julian the Hospitaller and Julian the Poor whereby he is the patron Saint of hunters. The town's flag is identical to the Belgian flag which has to do with the fact that it is thought that St Julian was Belgian (from Ath), despite the fact that it is disputed whether he was also from France (Le Mans) or Italy (Naples).
Before the reform to the Calendar of Saints, the memorial to St Julian was on January 27. Nowadays, the is celebrated on February 12, though in Malta an additional feast, in the spirit of the many summer feasts around the island, is celebrated on the last Sunday of August.
Known as Ladyfingers or BusyBees by the grunts in the field, are called Angelhands by those that have been recovered by them.

An old shot of mine that I have always loved. It's from the days when i was taking my first baby steps in Photography. So I bronzed it like a baby shoe. With a little help from Flaming Pear's Kyoto Color filter. The original color of the leaf is magenta. See my Going to Kyoto set for more colorization experiments.

Holland Track Water Drop – September 2016 – Holland #52
The excavation of the shaft at the Blues Point Retrieval Site is now complete and preparations are being made for the arrival of the tunnel boring machines. Over the next three months TBMs Kathleen, Wendy and Mabel with complete their journeys (the former from Barangaroo, the latter from Chatswood). Each will be winched from the floor of the shaft and barged to Barangaroo. Kathleen will complete a second tunnel before the task is completed in the first few moths of 2020.
A Community and Information day was held, on site, on Saturday 28 September. Representatives from Sydney Metro, Transport for NSW, and the contractors, John Holland GPB Ghella were on hand to answer questions.
The latter are building the 15.5 km twin railway tunnels between Chatswood and Sydenham, and excavating six new metro stations.

66424 Driver Paul Scrivens approaches the road bridge at Westry, March, at the head of 8Z57 15.40 Stowmarket DGL - Worksop Up Yard.
This was taking 57002 Rail Express away from Stowmarket, it having been dumped there since developing a severe wheelflat (or wheelflats) while operating railhead treatment trains the previous autumn. In the consist, for brakeforce since the 57 has its brakes isolated, are PFA four-wheel flat wagon DRSL92740, and mark 2e BSO coaches 9508 and 9506; the two coaches are escort vehicles, officially classified RMA, and usually used on flask trains conveying waste from nuclear submarines, where they are staffed by armed personnel - the coaches have been modified by removing their gangway connections. DRS was vacating the sidings at Stowmarket, GBRf being the new operator of the East Anglia RHTTs from autumn 2023, and this was the last item of DRS rolling stock to leave.
The train was timed to run at a maximum of 35mph, and was therefore booked to be looped at several locations to allow other trains to overtake. Having been unable to go in at Bury St. Edmunds (because the loop is currently out of use) and then only pausing briefly at Ely, the train was 36 minutes early at Manea, where I took my first shot of it. It was then booked to go into March Down Yard for an hour and a half until just after 19.30, which allowed me time to go for something to eat and then get here in plenty of time for a second shot.
But even this was early - by about twenty minutes! It was booked to run behind a trio of passenger trains: five minutes behind Cross Country's 1N67 from Stansted Airport to Leicester, which was booked twelve minutes behind Greater Anglia's 2E82 from Ipswich to Peterborough, and that was booked seven minutes behind EMR's 1R84 from Norwich to Sheffield. 1R84 should have been ten minutes behind GBRf's 4E43 from Felixstowe to Doncaster.
However, while 1R84 was on time (and, at one stage, projected to arrive early at March!), 4E43 was 29 minutes late, 2E82 22 minutes late (after a late start) and 1N67 19 minutes late (due to OHL problems at Elsenham). If 8Z57 had set off on time it would have been right in front of the two late-running passenger trains, and if it had waited for its correct "slot" and set off from March slightly late (behind 1N67) it would have then missed its path north from Peterborough, on the ECML. There was a window of about 20 minutes after 1R84 to get 8Z57 moving, and that is what happened. 8Z57 was then followed by a late-running Freightliner container train I'd not spotted (because it was a full hour late), and neither that nor 4E43 right behind it lost any more time as a result of 8Z57 being let out early (nor did either of the late-running passenger trains). So a good piece of regulation carried out by the signallers in the mechanical boxes on this line!

So you have been in the intergalactic shipping business awhile when suddenly one of your trans-planetary shipments goes missing. What fate has befallen the vessel? Was it possibly damaged by a sneaky astroid field, pulled off coarse by an unforeseen planet's gravity, or perhaps crash landed in some foreign planets toxic ocean? You don't really need to get that stuff in the shipping containers back, do you? Of course you do, so buy one of our multi-purpose retrieval units and you can kick back while your missing goods are returned in time for the next shipping cycle.
Little heavy on the story side for a disheavaled pile of assembled table scraps, but you take what you can get.

Chartres Cathedral, also known as Cathedral of Our Lady of Chartres (French: Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Chartres), is a medieval Catholic cathedral of the Latin Church located in Chartres, France, about 80 kilometres (50 mi) southwest of Paris. It is considered one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The current cathedral, mostly constructed between 1194 and 1250, is the last of at least five which have occupied the site since the town became a bishopric in the 4th century.
The cathedral is in an exceptional state of preservation. The majority of the original stained glass windows survive intact, while the architecture has seen only minor changes since the early 13th century. The building's exterior is dominated by heavy flying buttresses which allowed the architects to increase the window size significantly, while the west end is dominated by two contrasting spires – a 105-metre (349 ft) plain pyramid completed around 1160 and a 113-metre (377 ft) early 16th-century Flamboyant spire on top of an older tower. Equally notable are the three great façades, each adorned with hundreds of sculpted figures illustrating key theological themes and narratives.
Since at least the 12th century the cathedral has been an important destination for travellers – and remains so to this day, attracting large numbers of Christian pilgrims, many of whom come to venerate its famous relic, the Sancta Camisa, said to be the tunic worn by the Virgin Mary at Christ's birth, as well as large numbers of secular tourists who come to admire the cathedral's architecture and historical merit.
