Solar Impulse, the solar aircraft built in Switzerland, took off early Monday morning at Moffett Federal Airfield at NASA Ames in Mountain View, California. I got an invite to witness this historic journey around the world.
Founders and pilots Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg first addressed the press. André climbed into the cockpit for this leg to Phoenix, Arizona. Here the crew pushes the aircraft sideways so that it can taxi to the runway. The flight took 16 hours.
Bertrand and André want us to use more clean energies. In their word, they want to push the transition to renewable energy resources. Very inspiring!
The aircraft has a wingspan bigger than a Boeing 747, but weights just 2 tons instead of 400 tons. To preserve weight and aerodynamics, this aircraft has no landing gears on the side. People hold the aircraft level on long poles until it gains enough speed. More info on this historic flight at www.solarimpulse.com
I processed a balanced and a paintery HDR photo from a RAW exposure, and merged them.

A statue of a man on a pinnacle reaching for the sky. I saw this image while walking the streets of Laoag, the Philippines in the Ilocos Province. How would you title this image?

Solar Impulse, a solar aircraft is currently on the way to San Francisco and will soon fly over the Golden Gate Bridge. We plan to go to San Francisco to see the spectacle. You find info at www.solarimpulse.com
Three years ago, the two pilots came to NASA Ames Moffett Field with the first generation of solar aircraft. This photo is from the lecture they gave at NASA Ames on April 26, 2013.

What could be better'n sitting in an Adirondack Chair watching a solar powered tourist boat go by in the harbour in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. Well, how about sitting with a friend and watching a solar powered tourist boat go by in the harbour in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island? Yeah, I figured that since I don't actually have any friends, I didn't wanna sit there all by myself. 'Cause then people would just walk by and say, "Look at that sad guy sitting all by himself waiting for a friend who's never gonna arrive." I hate it when that happens. Just kidding. There was nobody else there to see me. lol I needed an explanation for why the chairs were empty.

Last week we stayed at Tonopah, Nevada. North-west of the town is a 110 megawatt solar thermal power plant called Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project. It will start operating later this year. The anticipated to cost is a bit less than $1 billion. At the bottom you see the reflection on the panels that mirror the sunlight to a large tower to heat liquid salt, which is used to generate electricity.
This solar power plant can operate 24/7 - hot salt in a big tank stores energy for use at night. A truly large-scale project. An overview video explains it.
I processed a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposure. I actually took three bracketed exposures, but decided to use just the underexposed one to get these deep colors.

Architect Shahid Syeed Khan’s 10 rooftop solar panels and single wind turbine generate five kilowatts of electricity, enough to run a computer, TV, eight fans, and forty light bulbs.

The Catalina mountains to Tucson's north are almost totally obscured by low lying clouds, commonly called fog. I had to increase the contrast a bit to enable you to see the mountains at all. This is just the way it looked to me in person, some of the time. and some the time the mountains disappeared completely...
Photo taken after lunch at 1:50 pm in the Parking lot of Eli's Deli at the Corner of 5th Street and Rosemont Ave. I like the Solar power generating panels over the parking of what used to be the Duffy School, across the street from the Deli. The school building now contains Tucson Unified School District (TUSD) administration offices.
It rained last night and it is still drizzling today. Rio Magnolia is flowing on Magnolia Street between Third and Speedway. It's not a high volume flow at all. It was really just drizzling in the afternoon, but it rained heavily early this morning.

The Aire Valley was once the north's power house, with its 8,000MW of coal fired power stations and Big K - Kellingley colliery. Now, 2 out of 3 power stations are shut, along with Big K and Drax burns mostly biomass. 66057 is crossing the Aire and Calder navigation with the 10:15 Immingham - Drax biomass working. Passing the colliery site, which over the years loaded the coal into barges to transport it to Ferrybridge power station along the Aire and Calder.
We caught this from atop Palo Duro canyon, Texas. My Nikon was equipped with a solar filter on a 750mm effective telephoto lens. An unbelievable sight!

The sun partially blocked by a few metal arms of an eletricity transmission tower provided a shot that bodes well with a solar power theme.
This was taken just outside Chelmsford, Essex on a wintry evening. I thought I was the only one out there, but ironically when we had a club competition, I entered this into the print comp and another member entered into the DPI with the same title.
There was just something about the momentary cloud formation in conjunction the the solar farm that made me reach for my camera.

NO GROUP BANNERS. Thanks.
A bit of a throwaway shot today as it's been a really busy day and I've not really had time to get out and so any photography and I've run out of steam now!
I put up an Ikea shelving system for the garden today...so you'll forgive my tiredness ;-) Actually, after a bit of a false start it went up pretty well and Debbie then filled it up with all the empty pots and bits and pieces that have been littering the garden. She also put up these solar powered lanterns which are there to help me with seeing what I'm doing in the bin area as it gets quite dark in the garden during the winter evenings.
It also gave me the chance to start practising the Nick Carver Precision Method for metering exposure settings...more for when using film cameras, but perfectly acceptable to use on digital cameras as well, as I did here with the Sony A6000. I set the camera exposure to meter the lanterns tones at between Medium Light and Very Light and got this excellent exposure...so it definitely works...and I'm not even close to half way through the course yet!
