The Rocket Brigade House on the newly restored Old New Quay at Whitehaven. When ships floundered on the rocks along the coast the rocket apparatus on a horse drawn cart was deployed to the scene whereupon rockets where fired out to the ship carrying lines. These were then used to setup a breeches buoy to rescue the crew and passengers. The Whitehaven rocket brigade attended dozens of wrecks and saved many lives.
One playground structure I've not seen before is a rocket ship. This one is nice and seemingly new. From this angle I feel like I'm about to walk onto the gantry for Apollo 11.
From this angle the beautifully proportioned Chrysler building looks like a giant space rocket poised for lift-off from its midtown Manhattan launch pad.
This morning its upper storeys were illuminated by strong dawn sunlight.

A great bit of theatre that everybody enjoys. It is of course not a real rocket but a cleverly crafted smoke and lighting illusion with sound.
While I was prepping my rocket and trying to watch the fun launches, David's rotary flamethrower roared right off the pad. Wow. (Best viewed large - click on photo)
Dale caught the action. Here’s a great slo mo video.

John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth on February 20, 1962 when he launched in his Friendship 7 Mercury spacecraft on an Atlas rocket,

Modelled after a rocket designed by Lew Parry and made for the Sheet Metal Workers Local 280 float at the 1936 Pacific National Exhibition Jubilee Parade, the Centennial Rocket was installed in 1986 and contains a time capsule to be opened 50 years after Expo 86. It was made by Terminal Sheet Metal and the Local 280 metal workers.
Los Tayos Rocket Frog (Hyloxalus nexipus) - Cordillera Escalera, Peru
This is a great little frog that on first impression the casual observer may not place into the Dendrobatidae family. However this is a close relative of the colorful frogs known as poison dart frogs (more on why that name is not accurate later). This species is tied very closely to streams and rivers flowing through forest, despite having seen many I have yet to observe a single individual more than a few meters away from the flowing waters of a stream/river. The populations of these frogs are quite visible and in certain areas along the river it is possible to see many individual frogs hopping over the rocks near the waters edge. With a little patience its also possible to see them pick a point to call from and defend their territories against other males, attempting to chase or wrestle them away. Unlike many other Hyloxalus these are aposematic and do sequester toxins that make them unpalatable to predators, they are also swift frogs capable of a quickly jumping away and they seem to be strong swimmers when I have seen them fall into the flowing water. A very charismatic frog and one of my favorite dendrobatids here despite how common it is.
"The oil lens was focused on a starship lighter exposed by dawn in the basin below them. The tall eastern face of the ship glistened in the flat light of the sun, but the shadow side still showed yellow portholes from glowglobes of the night."
-from Dune, when Paul and the Fremen see the Padishah Emperor has arrived
That little description always got me thinking about some kind of 50s-style rocket that landed upright. In the years since I first read it, I've come to realize that I'm probably wrong (I didn't understand that the Thufir Hawat at the end is the same guy in the beginning until my second read), but I still loved the idea of a big rocket that just plops down on planets. You'd need some serious anti-gravity to do it, but hey, rule of cool.
Long story short, I've always been into the style, so this is the latest evolution of Awe's quasi-retro rocket series. The real thing wouldn't sit on its thrusters like that, but whatever.

What do you do when the whale pops up half in and half out of frame? Crop it so it hopefully works at least a little. This juvenile rocketed straight up towards the boat out over the Bremer Canyon and I wasn't quite ready for it as evidenced by not having the whale completely in frame, but I liked the moment too much to scrap the photo entirely.
We're here visiting Rockets.

Divers 2020 - Mini Europe
Mini-Europe is open since 18/05/2020.
Welcome back to the open-air museum Mini-Europe!
Located at the foot of the Atomium, MINI-EUROPE is the only park where you can visit the whole of Europe in a couple of hours. A truly unique voyage ! Stroll amid the typical ambiance of the most beautiful towns of the Old Continent.
Be amazed! Mini-Europe is a park featuring all the wonders of Europe, in miniature. Bonsai trees, flowery groves and dwarf trees embellish the 350 monuments which have been reproduced at scale 1/25. Thousands of lifelike figurines and animations! Set off the eruption of the Vesuvius and admire the takeoff of the Ariane rocket. The two hour walk, which is both entertaining and educational, will let you (re)discover the 27 member states of the European Union + United Kingdom and their historical, architectural and cultural wealth.

López-Alegría, Connor, Pathy, Stibbe launched at 11:17 a.m. from Launch Complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Center to begin their 10-day mission. Photo Credit: (NASA/Joel Kowsky)
By igniting the first of some 50+ rockets all lined up in a bracket, they explode like machine-gunfire..... and this is how the sky above the church looks like!!!
----------
For 9 days, each day another trade/profession will pay for shooting off the hundreds of rockets. the first ones at 6am - then 12 noon - then7pm.... and the Rocket-Castle at 11pm at night.
Saturday was the Bricklayer's turn, always the loudest day of them all!! I went to the yard behind the church from where they'll be launching the rockets. This aparently is not for the public, it's a dangerous undertaking and the gates were closed behind the coheteros. And i was locked in with them, nobody has told me to leave... they let me take pictures!!!
All of a sudden i noticed 5 men were lighting up cigarettes, then the "supplier' brought bundles of rockets and the coheteros started lighting them with their cigarettes, one after the other, holding them between two fingers until they had catched fire before letting go. This is a dangerous and critical moment, because almost instantly after ignition, a huge fire beam would shoot from the rocket to the ground as the rocket was launched... hand-held!!! A total of 1300 rockets were shot up into the air, in a 30-minute time frame, accompanied by a concert of ringing church bells.
Most rockets were launched, as you see here, bare handed!! Others were launched all lined up and stuck in some wooden- or metal frame support. Thus, by igniting the first one, some 50+ rockets would explode simultaneously... like machine-gunfire, Wow, what an experience!!!! - I took a few hundred shots (in brackets), just to catch that beam of fire, but neither the fire-beam, nor the explosions of the rockets up in the blue sky showed up much on my images taken in broad daylight, just a lot of smoke. I will look for a night shot in my archives, where the beam of fire is very visible and impressive.
