“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)
Taken at Lake Moogerah while out storm chasing. I didn't think the sky was going to fire..obviously it did :)
Have a great weekend!
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.
Thank you for looking and for any comments you may wish to leave.
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...
