Thrust reversers are just being initiated.
Norway picked a bad weather day for their first flight to L. A. Flying from Copenhagen on an almost 11 hour flight, the landing direction was reversed about 10 minutes before touchdown.

No lenses were harmed in the making of this frankencamera!
And what, as it would turn out, was an exciting and event packed day.
Due to the protests and queues, we decided to go to Tesco before going to London. This meant getting up really early, and even in normal times would have been plenty of time, but these are not normal times, I mean I knew there had been queues for fuel the day before, but really I wasn't prepared for what I saw.
Jools was even more worked up about it that I was, and in order for our day in London to go smoothly, she was awake at four, and went to Tesco at half past as it should have been open, but wasn't. The petrol station there and at the Duke of Yorks were closed and both had "no fuel" signs.
Jools came back, and it was her reversing down the drive that woke me up. I got up; it was ten past five. I checked online and Tesco would be open at six, so we had coffee and went out at five to.
No cars at Shell, but then no fuel either, and when we got to Whitfield I could see the queue of cars leading into Tesco, all for fuel, but there was no getting into the car park, even if I wanted to.
I dropped Jools off, and I said I would check at Shell.
I should point out that the red fuel light had come on at this point, so wasn't merely panic buying, we really needed fuel.
At Shell there were two lines of cars forming, so I joned one of three to a row of pumps, but I saw a tanker was filling the tanks, so there should be fuel.
And as I waited, we all waited, more cars joined at the back and soon they were queued up onto the A2 and across the roundabout. It felt like madness. I got a text for Jools saying there were few in Tesco and all what we needed was in, so I hoped that I could refuel and go to pick her up.
We waited and waited, turned out the pumps could not be reset, and in the end one driver was told to try to refuel and see what happened. What happened was that fuel came out, so we returned to our cars and waited our turn.
Mine came and I filled up, it was all very orderly and British, I even said thanks to the lady on the till as I paid. I drove to Tesco and met Jools on the layby on the through road, so we loaded the car and went home.
We were booked to go on a boat tour of the Thames, and had to be at the Tower of London by half ten, meaning we really had to catch the quarter to eight train, the one an hour later might make it, but it would be tight.
We unloaded the shopping, but the milk and cheese in the fridge, left the rest and I grabbed a camera and we were back in the car hand heading into town. We had twenty minutes.
Thankfully, I found a place to park in Priory Gate, Jools had gone to buy tickets, so by the time we met on the platform, our train was coming in, so we were able to board and sit down, and have ten minutes to wait before departure.
Phew.
The journey to London you know, but even for me, only the second time in three months we have gone by train to London, and that previous trip was the first time in 16 months. But here we were again, zooming through Kent and under the Thames into Essex and then through the long tunnel to Stratford.
We had 90 minutes, enough time for breakfast, so we went to the place I used to use when I travelled to LCY, had a grilled cheese sandwich and coffee, before walking through Westfield to the regional station to catch the DR into central London.
We used to stand here and look on at the Olympic Park being built, not its home to West Ham and lots of housing.
So it goes.
The DR came and we climbed in. Again, not crowded so we felt safe enough. We wore our masks again.
Getting off at Poplar to change for a service to Tower Gateway, we took in the scene of Canary Wharf ahead of us. And for a Saturday morning, there were few other passengers waiting, or on the next train when it pulled in.
Just ten minutes into The City, walking dwon the steps from the station we were confronted by the traffic intersection that separated us from the Tower. In a gap in the traffic, we ran over to the other side, then along the main road to Tower Bridge. I don't want to labour the point, but usually this pavement is rammed with people, I was able to stop and get shots with no trouble.
We had twenty minutes, so we stop for a coffee beside Tower Bridge, before walking inder the road and along the river between the Thames and the Tower. There were tourists, but in fractions of the numbers usually seen here.
We heard the siren going off, and this we knew was the arrival of our boat, The Will, coming to the pier to pick us up. Its an old Thames barge, and the bridge had to be raised to allow the mast to go through.
We all climbed aboard, and found places to sit around the deck, listened to the safety bref before they cast off, and we had to wait for half an hour before Tower Bridge would reopen for us to go through.
There are amny dofferent ways of travelling up, or down, the river. The jet clippers can be used for the price of a few stops on The Tube, there are cruise boats, and jet powered speed boats, that have a loud James Bond soundtrack, apparently. Or there is a gentle chug on a barge. YOu get to see much more detail from each shore, and everyone else seemed to want to wave at us.
We waived back.
The first mate got children on board to trim the sails, pulling on ropes nearly as thick as their arms.
We drifted along, though Wapping and round the Isle of Dogs. Canary Wharf, which sits at the top of the Isle of Dogs, apparently got close, moved round, got further away and came back close again, as the river wound itself round the Isle.
On the other back, Greenwich came and went, the Navl Hospital looking magnificent and the Royal Observatory on the hill with time ball clearly visible from the river.
We cruised on.
We came to the Thames Barrier, flood defence for the city. I can remember seeing this on TV when it opened back in the 80s, and now we were going to sail through it.
Once through the barrier, the captain turned the wheel and so began the slow drift back to Tower Bridge, the only problem being that it wasn't due to open until half three, meaning we would be waiting somewhere.
Saying that, it was announced that lunch was served; bangers, mash, peas, carrots and onion gravy, all of which went down very well. We ate in the state room down below, and very nice it was, and amazing that food for about fifty of us was produced in such a small galley.
We ate well, and I treated myself to a glass of red wine, Jools had a cider, and we went back up to the deck to watch London glide by.
Haven't taken any macro shots for some time. Finally got around to it before the season was over. Reversed 24mm on two extension tubes and flash with snoot.
Reverse side.
This one of a kind pillow features three original, hand-pulled block prints on fabric, of some of the loveliest insects: butterflies and a bumblebee. The front is a patchwork of a contemporary faux-bois print in deep blue, with a butterfly on a grass green cotton, a bumblebee on a delicate pin-striped umber and sunny yellow, and a monarch butterfly on a vintage floral. The reverse combines a rustic, hand-woven Nepalese fabric with a contemporary print like a scientific illustration of butterflies, moths, ladybugs (ladybirds) and bees.

This is a photograph from the 2nd annual running of the Kilcock Ladies GAA club "Santa Dash" 5KM Road Race and fun run which was held in Kilcock, Co. Kildare, Ireland on Sunday 15th December 2013 at 13:00. This is one of the final road races in this part of Leinster before Christmas. The race welcomes runners, joggers, walkers, and families. Every entrant is given a free Santa hat to wear in the race to add to the festive atmosphere. The race starts beside the Royal Canal/Railway at the end of Connaught Street. The route then takes in the wellknown local walking route around Laragh (Sli Na Slainte). This route is familiar to many runners as a reverse of the Kilcock AC 5KM held annually every summer. The race was organised to help raise funds for the many ladies teams that the girls from Branganstown continue to field year after year. The Kilcock Ladies are a vital part of the local community and provide football for all age groups in the town. Last year, the first year of this race, 2012 was a very special year for the Ladies section of Kilcock GAA club as they celebrated the 20th year since their foundation back in 1992.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets

More reverse free-lensing macro, this time on some mouldy bread. I kept a load of bread well past the use-by date to generate a nice coating of mould, specifically to take this shot.
Flash lit from above, Sigma 10-20mm f/3.5 reversed at 10mm and focus on infinity. I had no aperture control, so it was wide open; hence the very shallow depth of field.

The classic Imagination fountain which flows in "reverse" jumping up from the pool below. I have always loved this fountain and the reflection it produces.
This hairstyle reminds me of a "reverse" of the Leningrad Cowboys style.
Rachael asked if I could take her picture and post it to Flickr. Be careful what you ask for! Chris (my wife, and Rachael's mother) did the "hairstyling") An entertaining Sunday evening for the whole family..
