I would like to say that I planned this shot, but off course it was total luck. The insect in the photo is a satellite fly (Sarcophagidae, Miltogramminae).
A Plymouth Satellite for 1968. A very nice looking car with clean lines, and this was a great example of one!
The Plymouth Name Game. Back in the mid forties they had a DeLuxe, but they all did, even if they weren't so deluxe, but Plymouth had theirs. And then came a bunch that could have easily been hotel chains. The Cambridge, The Concord, The Cranbrook, The Belvedere, The Plaza, The Savoy! And then several odd names, The Cricket, The Duster, The Barracuda, The Colt, The Neon, The Roadrunner and we can't forget The Volare. (and we heard that song by Domenico Modugno a million times back then) And in the mix of all that hubbub there was the hot one, a Fury, a true asphalt burner, often with a multi carb'd hemi under the bonnet. And alas, comes The Satellite which basically launched them into space, and to never be seen, nor heard of again! (and I know I left out a few)
I saw some red poppies flowering today and it reminded me that I still had this photo to upload from a while back : )
Looking Close on Friday: "Spirals" theme
A vintage toy from the 1950s, Space Satellite is a toy/game that I had as a kid. It requires the player to tilt the card in a way that rolls the ball bearing "satellite" up a molded plastic spiral to a resting place on top of the spiral. It's not easy to do, by the way. I did a bit of spiral-like light painting in keeping with the theme, and processed the image in a scratchy style in an effort to match the now scratchy condition of the clear plastic dome on the toy.

During the plague, many sought safety in the vast wilderness of the hills. In the end those without the antidote all suffered the same death. A lone satellite outpost now bears witness to the decay and rebirth of civilization.

Job 38:31-33: “Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades, or loose the cords of Orion? Can you lead forth a constellation in its season, and guide the Bear with her satellites? Do you know the ordinances of the heavens, or fix their rule over the earth?

Satellite's gone up to the skies
Things like that drive me out of my mind
I watched it for a little while
I like to watch things on TV

It's pure luck when I get a shot of one of these iridium satellites at just that right moment when it reflects sunlight, high above our planet.
A satellite bull elk "orbits" a dominant bull and his harem, hoping to sneak in and mate with one of the cows. This one was tasting the air which was probably saturated with female pheromones. Rocky Mountain National Park.
