The Grand - Frank Gehry architecture
On our trip west a couple of years ago, we passed through Moose Jaw in Saskatchewan. I've always been interested in aircraft and had to drive by Canadian Forces 15 Wing, which I knew is the home base for the Snowbirds aerobatic team. We did a brief stop at the Canex base store and my wife, being a former army brat, struck up a conversation with a guy in a red jumpsuit. It turned out that he was a Snowbird pilot and said most of the team was away at a performance elsewhere.
Disappointed, on our way out of the base, I thought I was seeing double when I spotted these two aircraft, pulled the car over, and took a shot through an opening in the fence. It's cropped down to about a quarter of the original image to get the fence out of the frame.
The CT-114 Tutor is an aging aircraft from the 60's. The near version with tail number 114013 dates back to 1964 and has been used as a spare, active performer, and a trainer. In 2006 it suffered an engine flameout during practice formation flying and had to land at an alternate airfield. In 2008 it was damaged by multiple bird strikes. The most recent status that I could find was as Snowbird #4 in 2019. It will be interesting to see what they will eventually be replaced with.
Taken in a dark wood . Lots of editing to denoise etc. A very messy image but I like the reflection of the flash of blue.
Identified as “the last man” by his creator, the robot is the master puppeteer in a found Punch & Judy show; that is, if he can untangle the marionette strings. The robot’s experiences were documented on no less than sixteen covers of F&SF magazine, beginning with the October 1955 issue, and ending with the May, 2003 issue of the magazine. These covers depict the lone robot in various settings and guises, symbolizing the remnants of humanity after a cataclysmic event. The haunting imagery captured the imagination of many readers over the years.
Hunter's work on these covers earned him recognition and accolades, including the Hugo Award for Best Professional Artist in 1960-1962 and the Locus Award for Best Magazine Artist in 1972. The last man robot remains a memorable and influential piece in the history of science fiction art.
Taken for the Crazy Tuesday theme of 'Metal'
A metal photo frame with a photo of our cat Ebony sitting in front of a snoozing cat in the background.
I only saw one yellow warbler until I got home and looked at the shot on my computer.
It has always been my dream to find numerous wallet size portraits, of the exact same image, at a yard/estate sale that were never distributed. This comes close. These are not injury, or accident, photos as I would never post them, but rather it looks like this girl is going in for some type of plastic surgery and these are the before photos. It could also be that she was applying for some type of insurance and they needed the photos. Still an interesting grouping nonetheless. It’s always a thrill when it’s from Vinnie DeVille!
