A racing spaceship from the seldom visited, lateral appendix of the galactic disc. Sunray was noted for its balance of speed and manoeuvrability.

Landing the Sunray was a tricky process. First, the outer panels had to be folded flat. then, pilots had to fly vertically and them modulate the thrust to lower gently onto the pad. Finally, the cockpit could be rotated to the horizontal.

There are more images, including the ladder truck for the pilot to get down from the cockpit, over on Instagram: www.instagram.com/davidrobertslego/p/DEX9PlQi8j6/?img_ind... & www.instagram.com/davidrobertslego/p/DETALJmiO4e/?img_ind...

“Listed as Endangered under the Endangered Species Act, the Ash Meadows Sunray is endemic to the refuge. That means you can't see it anywhere else. That's right, it only lives here at Ash Meadows NWR. This unique plant is blooming now and should bloom through June.” (Ash Meadows NWR)

had a brilliant morning shooting the sunrays then later that night felt like making it into something different

Solitary seagull bathed in light.

The sunrays transfigure the sea.

Dramatic sky one evening in August

Another image from my visit to Thornton Reservoir on Friday evening. The sun was partially down and provided a lovely band of colour across the sky.

Shot on Devenish Island, Lough Erne, Eniskillen, Co Fermanagh, Northern Ireland

This has to be my most memorable photo ever as just after capturing this very shot the swan actually raced towards me hissing and trying to attack me! I fell backwards onto the wet grass and busted the belt on my jeans! and when I turned around a group of tourists were in hysterics laughing at me! lol

Best song to describe the picture:

Sittin' in the morning sun

I'll be sittin' when the evening comes

Watching the ships roll in

Then I watch them roll away again, yeah

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh

I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time

A voice said, Look me in the stars

And tell me truly, men of earth,

If all the soul-and-body scars

Were not too much to pay for birth.
