I must confess, I find wind turbines strangely beautiful and other worldly, particularly alone on a hillside. These are on the north side of the Columbia River in southern Washington.
Bluesman in pink face and competitive 80’s commercial gear ready to make a name for himself. Just as long as they don’t see his left arm. For his left arm tells the truth about all that went into it. Selling his soul like robert johnson did. Getting those bright eighties colors to sheathe his instrument like he was george benson selling out on broadway. And charlie patton is watching in heaven still suffering from the blows of his woman.

I thought I would dust off the d40..it's been a while since I used it. Today time is moved forward because of daylight savings. Daylight saving time to me means I can start playing basketball afterwork. Hope everyone has a good day.

With it now 5 months since lockdown restrictions were implemented due to COVID-19, airlines are very slowly starting to see demand returning although this maybe scuppered in part due to spikes in cases being reported.
British Airways unsurprisingly has been affected by COVID-19 which has seen the premature withdrawal of their entire Boeing 747-400 fleet as well as the solitary Airbus A318 no longer in use following the cancellation of their unique London City to New York-John F. Kennedy flight.
The saving grace has been cargo which has seen select Boeing 777-200ERs seeing their World Traveller seats removed for more cargo capacity, as well as their Boeing 777-200ER/300ERs, Boeing 787-8/9/10s and Airbus A350-1000s providing the lion-share of long-haul flights, with Boeing 787-8s making appearances on European short-haul flights in order to ensure social distancing is complied with.
Very recently, British Airways has published its upcoming W20 schedule which sees considerable amount of changes, taking into consideration Boeing 747-400s no longer form their long-haul network and London Gatwick long-haul flights slowly being reinstated.
Given the huge amount of changes, this will be split into three separate posts...
As per Airline Route, here are the following changes which are heavily subject to change effective 26th October 2020 unless stated otherwise:
-Abu Dhabi: Daily flight (BA72/73) cancelled throughout the entire W20 schedule.
-Atlanta (Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta): BA226/227 reduced from daily to 4 weekly flights, retaining Boeing 787-9s.

-Boston-Logan: Substantial changes sees 25 weekly flights cut to 14 weekly or twice daily flights. 4 times weekly BA202/203 and daily BA238/239 have been cancelled. BA212/213 utilises Boeing 787-9s replacing Boeing 747-400s, and BA214/215 utilises Airbus A350-1000s replacing 4-class Boeing 777-200ERs.
-Buenos Aires-Ezeiza: BA244/245 reduced from daily to 5 weekly flights, Boeing 787-8s replaces 3-class Boeing 777-200ERs.

-Kuala Lumpur-Sepang: BA34/35 continues to operate daily utilising Boeing 787-8s instead of Boeing 787-9s.
The changes are noticeable, especially those which featured multiple frequencies having had around 50% slashed off as British Airways does not expect demand to return for the next 2-3 years.
Currently, British Airways operates 32 Boeing 787s, which includes 12 Boeing 787-8s (one currently in short-term storage), 18 Boeing 787-9s (one in long-term storage awaiting new Rolls-Royce engines) and 2 Boeing 787-10s. British Airways have 10 Boeing 787-10s on-order.

When we first spotted Mount Sopris from a distance, it appeared there was some sort of crazy pipe line running from the summit. Of course it's just the top of the snowline, but for a moment...

An Extra on the set of Saving Mr. Banks has a little fun showing off his camera.
It was fascinating to watch scenes of a feature film being produced at Disneyland. I briefly saw Tom Hanks as Walt Disney, as well as Paul Giamatti and Emma Thompson which was cool. But what I enjoyed the most about watching the production was seeing protions of Disneyland transformed back to the early 1960s. And seeing all the Extras in their period clothing was awesome.
I do believe this guy's camera is from the 1970s, but close enough!
Ala is feeling so much better with the waters to cool her fires down. What the little smoking hot fire goddess dose not know that below the water is a Chaotic being of fire named Dresmorlin... As Ala's hot little body warms the waters it melts the ice that hold Dresmorlin at by and once free Ala would be power less to stop him for only the gods of ice could stop him.
This boy was selling cheese sticks at the local beach for his living and iam sure for his family too. What amazed and touched me was his attitude and intention for saving small fishes' lives (as if he knew the importance of life !!) which were removed from the net by the fishermen (see my previous shots) He kept picking small fishes form the sand and kept throwing into the deep water. Here in this shot he is looking concerned, worried, and thoughtful for the poor soul. Hats off to him!!
Members of the St Ives RNLI lifeboat crew returning from a shout (I think the bosun could give Clint Eastwood a run for his money with that flinty eyed stare! Go to L for the full intimidation effect). The coastguard had called them out to find and bring home many small and large boats that had been stranded on the water of the bay by a huge, dense bank of sea fog that had rolled in at an astonishing rate (science fiction, end of the world, disaster movie kind of speed!). It blanketed not just the sea but St Ives itself, creating an eerie yet beautiful atmosphere as the light dropped dramatically and all sounds became muffled. It all happened so fast even the coastguard in the watchtower on the headland in St Ives were caught out.
As Jay and I stood leaning on the promenade wall, watching the amazing sight of the beach and people quickly disappearing from view, a man appeared next me with a squawking walkie talkie in hand, he looked very worried and was frantically peering into the increasingly dense fog. I could hear a voice from the walkie talkie repeatedly asking him what could he see – his exasperated and panicky response had me in stitches, "What can I see? What can I SEE? I'll tell you what I can see...F*CK ALL! That's what I can see!" From the conversation I had with him later it turned out he was the owner of one of the boat hire companies that hire out the small family sized inflatable dinghies to tourists; mum, dad and the kids usually...and he didn't know where any of them were.
What had started off as a novel and awesome natural event soon became very serious when the coastguard realised there were lots of boats out in the bay and along the coast with no idea of where they were or which direction was which. So the shout went out for the RNLI lifeboat volunteers and very quickly the main boat and the James Bond-like high speed inflatable were in the water and off in search of stranded boats. So worried were the coastguard that they requested the help of a large research vessel moored in the bay to up anchor and help them locate the boats with their radar. An hour later and the lifeboats returned, leading in a small flotilla of boats filled with very relieved looking tourists and boat crew.
Hats off to the brave and courageous men and women of all the lifeboats crews stationed around our coastline, volunteers all, who go out in some of the worst sea conditions imaginable, day or night, to rescue people.
Aye, I'm still around, and slowly getting back into flickr when I can and for as long as I can to catch up on viewing and commenting. Hope you're all well. :-)
i had a major developing problem with this roll of polachrome; the film came out the processor totally dark.
i was about to threw it in the bin, when, taking a closer look, i saw the pictures on the film, in negative. so i proceed to remove the black, thick layer that should have been removed in the processor. under running tap water and using my fingers, i managed to remove the most of the dark layer, but, as you can see, the emulsion suffered major loss.
the lesson here is: never trash away your polachrome, the truth is under the thick black layer.
this polachrome film is expired in 1990

Olean has a bunch of squirrel statues representing various things or people, so its nice to see that the squirrel here is being saved.

At the Outdoor Lab school near Mount Evans, Colorado
Recent budget cuts have lead to the suspension of the Outdoor Laboratory Schools in Jefferson County, Colorado. The program has been around for more than 50 years. I have had the privilege of both attending when I was a sixth grader and also teaching classes at the school while my little brother attended. My dad even went to the school when he was a kid. It is a Jefferson Country tradition that kids have been able to experience for years. Outdoor Lab is an incredibly important program, especially for the kids who attend who have not spent much time up in this beautiful place that we live in. I have both witnessed and experienced the good that this program can do. However, in order to keep the school up and running, they need private funding, and lots of it.
Please take the time to go to the website listed above, watch the news story on the program, and donate some money. Any amount helps to keep the school going!
