This title cracks me up!
Hope it makes you smile too!
The modern elevator in the Old Town Hall with Astronomical Clock in Prague. With it's modern architecture it is a strong contrast to the building. In the picture the elevator is moving.
This picture was shot without a tripod, just with the IBIS of my Canon R6, I was impressed.

There's a bit of the story with that shirt. We took the Princess to Johnson Space Center in Houston during our vacation in 2007. We had recently learned we were expecting and decided to buy the new family member a souvenir item of clothing our family tradition). We picked this shirt as a nice neutral item since we did not yet know the sex of the baby. Unfortunately a few months later we lost the baby and so put this away and out of view. Of course as you all know Junior arrived late last year and we recently found the Rocket Scientist shirt again. It wasn't purchased for him but we think it is a nice connection to the child we lost. And a reminder of how miraculous life is.
Have a great Friday. TGIF and Happy Nifty Fifty Friday!

You've heard the noise they make,
But let me introduce you to my Rocket 88..."

Powering up the Rocket.
It is the Friday before Half Term week and the National Railway Museums replica Rocket is gently being warmed up and raising steam ready for a few days of passenger service on the short demonstration line at Locomotion, Shildon, 21st October 2022.
In 1979 this working replica of Rocket was built by Locomotion Enterprises in the Springwell Workshops at the Bowes Railway for the 150th anniversary celebrations. It first worked in public on a short length of track in front of the Albert Memoria in Kensington Gardens in August/September 1979 and running at Rainhill, on the last two days at the Rocket 150 celebrations in May 1980.
NASA Johnson Space Center - Houston, TX - USA
This shed houses a Saturn V, the tallest, heaviest and most powerful Saturn rocket ever flown. It was used primarily during the Apollo missions to send humans to the Moon. There are only three Saturn V rockets on display in the world. The rocket at NASA Johnson Space Center is the only one comprised of all flight-certified hardware.

Travelling on from Lake Pukaki on the main road south one soon finds Twizel. Twizel was the main construction town for the extensive irrigation and power scheme that controls the various lakes in the area. Some of the lakes were natural, others man-made. But at Pukaki Twizel airport are two quirky Capsules which are decked out as accommodation. I would imagine a great view of the stars and mountains, but very cold!
The door at the end was open so I peeked in to see what was on offer!
No hope that these capsules would travel to the stars though.

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh, no, no, no
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burnin' out his fuse up here alone
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh, no, no, no

I re-created a multiple image composite showing the trail of NASA's satellite launch earlier this week, deleting the extra images of the background stars and foreground, so everything is more crisp and the result isn't so busy with star trails.
Each of the individual exposures in this sequence was 30 seconds, so the 8 shown in the flight path in this sequence represent 4 minutes of flight. The 3 solid fuel rocket boosters you can just see in this image, dropping near the end of the first and brightest segment to the right, were dropped at 1:30 into the flight, so this sequence of 30 second images shows roughly 1:00 to 5:00 in the overall launch sequence.
Immerse yourself in a creative project if you're feeling troubled they say. Building this sure allowed me to concentrate on something besides the news for a few hours.

Wildly beautiful Dames Rocket (Hesperis matronalis) in the nearby field around the dock at Tod Inlet, Gowlland Tod Provincial Park.
Dame’s rocket is a biennial, meaning it blooms in the second year; however, it self seeds and if allowed to drop seed, will bloom each year behaving like a perennial plant.
Its lavendar/purple flowers bloom in mid-Spring and are particularly showy and fragrant in the evening with a scent likened to a mixture of clove and violet. Additionally, the leaves and seeds of dame’s rocket are edible, used for medicinal purposes, and purported to be endowed with aphrodisiac properties.
Rainforest Rocket Frog

Seen at the Rainmaker Nature Park in Costa Rica on December 31, 2020.
After hiking in pouring rain for a long time our guide had to return home and it was time to eat lunch at the little cafe at the Rainmaker. A yummy warm lunch was included in our tour and was prepared fresh by two very nice Costa Rican Ladies.
While we were eating, the rain stopped and the sun finally started poking through the clouds. After rain can be a good time to find reptiles and amphibians coming to the surface to warm up and dry off or otherwise enjoy the humid warm conditions. My son and I got back on the trail to see what we could find. We only had about an hour left to hike before we needed to begin our long drive to San Jose and we hurried down the trail in hopes of finding and ohitograohing some additional species.
I was very happy to find this spring loaded little frog rocketing from one leaf to another near the trail. These little frogs are difficult to photograph because they don't sit still very long and they can jump really far.
Confession: I did not go on a space mission last month. This is actually a starburst firecracker shot in the evening on the 4th of July with an extended exposure of 10 seconds. Then in post production I got the idea to rotate the image so it looks like a rocket thruster propelling an asteroid into orbit. If you tilt your head, you can see the street and green lawn in the background. The white balance was adjusted to emphasize the cool tones.
So sorry to disappoint; I have not been exploring strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before. :)

Exhibition of Talent
A Northrop Grumman Antares rocket carrying a Cygnus resupply spacecraft is seen as it is transported to the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport’s Pad-0A, Saturday, September 26, 2020, at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. Northrop Grumman’s 14th contracted cargo resupply mission with NASA to the International Space Station will deliver about 8,000 pounds of science and research, crew supplies and vehicle hardware to the orbital laboratory and its crew. The CRS-14 Cygnus spacecraft is named after the first female astronaut of Indian descent, Kalpana Chawla, and is scheduled to launch at 9:38 p.m., Thursday, October 1, 2020 EDT.

A very nice addition, the Lewis gun looks great in bronze. This was my first Lewis gun, and I must say that the amount of detail is amazing! A very nice gun which fits the theme perfectly. Now for the Bayonet. I like it, I don't love it. While this may be a welcome addition for pirate and military fans, I will have to work hard to find uses for it, as I am more of a sci-fi fan. I also think the bayonet would work better with the gun if it were a different color. The solid bronze doesn't make the gun feel as interesting and
unique as it could be.
This takes the cake as my favorite weapon included with the Rocket Commando. It also helps that this is my favorite gun in the Brickarms arsenal. I've managed
to get 3 of these beauties including this one. Enough gloating! The gun is a work
of art. Due to it being a blend of many rayguns from a variety of sources, this gun fits with many minifigs and scenes. The one detail that completes the utter
awesomeness that is this gun is the trigger in the trigger guard. This is, from
my knowledge, the first gun to have this, and I hope this isn't the last. It looks
amazing, and makes the raygun feel finalized.
The minifigure is top notch. The torso choice is excellent, and one of the reasons
I purchased him. The dial is a nice touch, adding to the steampunk feel. My only complaint is that the two neck pieces to hold the dial and jetpack make his head too tall to be proportionate, but this is too easily fixed for it to matter much. I'm glad the helmet is
reddish brown, as the old brown wouldn't fit the rest of the figure.

Black Lodge Customs: Rocket Commando via BrickArms.
I made a slight modification to the Winged Rocket Pack to accommodate the BrickArms Lewis Gun with bayonet.
Not too sure if anyone else had done it, but I thought it was worth sharing.
burning up his fuse up here alone. (Elton John song reference, BTW) Jasper jetting around Lost Dutchman State Park.
The park name is in reference to a German dude (back in the 1800s known as a "Dutchman") who supposedly found a gold in the Superstition Mountains just East of Phoenix, AZ. Somewhere along the line the map to the goldmine was lost and the mine hasn't been found since despite many treasure seekers dying in the desert trying to find it. So it's really short for Lost Goldmine that a Dutchman originally discovered, not a Dutchman that got lost.
