A heavy haul flat car designed to ship Thiokol rocket boosters dwells in Union Pacific's North Yard in Salt Lake City on June 7, 1992.
Sculptor Donald Harcourt De Lue (1897-1988) heeded a six-month deadline to complete a full-size—43 feet (13 m) tall—plaster model of this "Rocket Thrower" sculpture in 1963 so that it could be cast in bronze for the 1964 New York World's Fair. It remains where it was installed for that fair: in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, Queens, NYC, USA. I took this photo on November 10, 2024.
No 76079, a BR standard class 4MT 2-6-0 nicknamed the 'pocket rocket' due to being a relatively small but powerful loco, works a Whitby to Pickering NYMR service.
2009 Challenge, Day 282: ROCKET at: www.photochallenge.org
My ROCKET is the Chrysler bldg. that looks like a ROCKET!! Either this or copying somebody else's work. But when I asked few of my friends what they thought they all agreed that Chrysler bldg. looked like a ROCKET even the antenna on the top.
So short of better creativity here is my rocket!!! Hope you like and agree!!!
Thanks for stopping by and commenting!!
655 leads one of the two rockets through New Lenox in January of 79. This area has changed slightly over the years.
Strap in and let gravity do the rest. MadPea Para-Rockets blast you skyward and let you parachute back down in style. Equal parts thrill, chaos, and questionable judgment.
Launch first. Think later!
Collect them all!

White-fronted Bee-eater Merops bullockoides
This is a species of bee-eater widely distributed in sub-equatorial Africa. They have a distinctive white forehead, a square tail and a bright red patch on their throat. They nest in small colonies, digging holes in cliffs or earthen banks but can usually be seen in low trees waiting for passing insects from which they hunt either by making quick hawking flights or gliding down before hovering briefly to catch insects.
[Ref: Wikipedia]
The background to this image is the bank of the river where the nesting holes of this colony were situated. The colony were hunting insects.
This image was captured on the Chobe River, near Kasane, northern Botswana, Southern Africa.

“🚀 “Rocket”🚀”
One of my favorite nine photos posted in 2023 ...
Before I post my “top nine for 2023” photo this year, I wanted to post my favorite nine posts from 2023 and see the difference. I just couldn’t narrow it down to six this year. One bear pic was a video, and two photos were featured therefore shown twice. I hope you enjoy the photos!
Here they are……
Backstory:
One of the photographs I covet getting in Cades Cove, Tennessee, is a deer, especially a buck, jumping the fence.
Timing and position are crucial to getting the shot. Usually, the deer are predictable, and I can tell when they are getting ready to jump. Sometimes, they cheat and go under the barbed wire.
I never really thought about the mannerism of the jump. I’m just trying to photograph it.
This buck drops his right shoulder and puts his right leg tight to his body. He then stretches his body up, up, up. Right before he jumps, he uses his powerful back legs to rocket through the air allowing him to hurdle the wire.
I am tickled I got the shot.

Rocket Ships
And before you know it
rocket ships will give way
to broken hearts.
Flying horses will become
missed appointments,
and
Crayolas become
colorful pills that ease
the divorce…
The tooth fairy
puts on a suit and
collects
Taxes.
Death replaces
the ice cream truck.
And yet
You will dream of
rocket ships.

What is it about animals...or humans for that matter, that think the grass is greener on the other side? Rocket really wants to go into the neighbors yard...I think not! Little stinker is getting big and starting to feel good in his surroundings to where he wants to wander....I don't let him out without supervision even though my yard is fenced. I'm not comfortable with the little guy behaving!!! lol :) Have a nice evening everyone!
I love the little drips coming off the sides...

Searching my Google Maps right before the Lousiana Border we found the.INFINITY Science Center that actually was on One side of the Highway and the Other Side is where the John C. Stennis Space Center was by appointment only and that was where the actual launch the Rockets. What we were in for was a brush-up of our space program and a real Rocket Scientist’s explanation of how a rocket works, which filled any remaining empty brain cells I had with a new understanding of the complexity of rocket engines, and the realization I won’t be building one soon. Our visit was on a Monday and the crowds were sparse till later in the afternoon
