From Ultimate Ube's Album launch.
Sorry for the noise, I really don't like to use my flash the whole time.

The NASA SLS rocket with the Orion spacecraft and European Service module in the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, USA.
Taken a day before rollout to the launchpad this Moon rocket will launch the Orion spacecraft on the Artemis I mission.
In that package is the Orion spacecraft which consists of the NASA’s Crew Module, the Crew Module Adapter and ESA’s European Service Module. Together these modules will power the spacecraft around the Moon and back. Over 30 engines, four solar wings, 8.6 tons of propellant and 11 km of cables are inside. For the first Artemis mission they will work in harmony to travel from Earth to the Moon, make two flybys and return.

One more E unit for now. Here is Rock Island 652 crossing the Santa Fe at Joliet. Within a year 652 would be repainted into the popular star nose bicentennial but on Labor Day 1975 it was in it's attractive red and yellow doing it's normal job of hauling a couple or Illinois residents across the state. I think this would be the Peoria Rocket. The Rock Island opted not to join Amtrak in 1971 thinking that the cost to join would be less than continuing to operate the 2 Rockets that were left of it's once extensive network. This was taken on my first non family overnight railfan trip. 4 of us twenty somethings spent 4 days circling Lake Michigan with a pickup camper and some tents. 3 somewhat serious photographers and one somewhat serious beer can collector. It made for an interesting trip.
Stephenson's rocket on display at the National Railway museum . Blink and you will miss it as not on prominent display. Tucked away in its own alcove
the ones that look straight from Hansel and Gretel belong to Blisi (Fuji Baku Tbilisi). So is the ganja satellite with the pink pill on top. The technologically-challenged ones are by yours truly. Please notice the band-aid.
Wonder what happened to the poor babies after the storm on Sunday.
The last piece of Space Launch System (SLS) rocket hardware has been added to the stack at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Crews with NASA's Exploration Ground Systems and contractor Jacobs added the Orion stage adapter to the top of the rocket inside the spaceport’s Vehicle Assembly Building. To complete the Artemis I stack, crews will soon add the Orion spacecraft and its launch abort system on top of Orion stage adapter.
The Orion stage adapter, built at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama connects Orion to the Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage (ICPS), which was built by Boeing and United Launch Alliance at ULA’s factory in Decatur, Alabama. During the mission, the ICPS will fire one RL10 engine in a maneuver called trans-lunar injection, or TLI, to send Orion speeding toward the Moon.

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.

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.

Nearly 40 years later, a "Rocket" returns to it's one-time launching pad. This is Chicago's LaSalle Street Station, the eastern terminus for the Rock Island Railroad, where the famous "Rocket" streamliners began their journeys west. But much has changed in this time. The Rock Island went out of business in the 1980s, the original LaSalle Street headhouse was torn down about the same time, and the "Rockets" are all but a distant memory.
Enter 2017: In partnership with Metra, the Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society put together four "Joliet Rocket" excursions an homage to the once "Mighty Fine Line." Featuring vintage equipment and their own famous Nickel Plate 4-8-4 #765 for power, passengers were treated to a recreation of a 1940's era train ride from Joliet to Chicago and back over the former Rock Island mainline. Passengers also got to experience a fine lunch or dinner at the station, as well as a photo runby (originally scheduled to take place at Tinley Park) of the giant steam beast. This would be the first time since the 1960s that a steam locomotive would again grace the platforms of LaSalle Street Station and sound of a steam whistle would echo off the Canyons of Chicago. This trip was so popular that it would return for a second year in 2018.
Seen here is the second run of the Joliet Rocket on Saturday, June 17th. Heat and humidity forced many passengers to return back to the air conditioning in the train after finishing their dinner & drinks. But those of us who rode in the Iowa Pacific full-dome car wanted to linger as long as we could outside, because the AC conked out on the car during the morning run, effectively turning it into a giant sauna.
I love the little drips coming off the sides...
