looks like the museum has a very comprehensive collection, the sort of place I like to visit. Thanks for showing the photo.

Is that a gnat under the tail?

When I see these kind of planes I am just astonished they actually fly. 🙂

A seemingly quiet corner in an otherwise bustling cafe in a Taipei suburb. The sign on the wall reads 活在當下, “live in the moment”. Shot with a Nikon F4 on a roll of Kodak Ultramax 800 (metered at ASA 1600) that I took out from a disposable camera.

It is a great museum to visit -

Are these cities dying?

Just trying to get through a short list of maintenance items, washed it and then took a couple shots.

Might look like it, but nah not really, I don't think. I was only there for a few days, but it was just the one block that looked pretty abandoned.

My beautiful helper again. He's not mine - just gets out of one of the nearby houses all the time.

Loves chasing the ball but I wish he wouldn't chew it! He seems to like me a lot, but the problem is he wants to follow me home and I live on quite busy road. Risky for him and his owners wouldn't be too happy, but he'd have a great home with me for sure.

Wow that's a real classic. Reminds me of the ones used in Europe to transport Concorde fuselage and and wing sections about. These were the only way before the A300-600ST came along (aka Beluga). Now we have the A330-700 "Beluga XL".

The Beluga XL can go at Mach 0.69 at 35,000ft carrying out-sized cargo.

NASA still has one Super Guppy in service. I love the look of the Beluga XL.
