YOUR FLIGHT JUST - FLIGHT JUST
Your Flight Just
Your Half is Bigger Than Mine We were just about to leave Viera. I was turned 180 degrees trying to shoot an immature Red Shoulder in a waving sapling when in swept one of these Caracara I presume with the whole snake. By the time I was focused and getting decent shots, he had bitten the snake in two and kept looking toward the sky. In flew his buddy. The first gave up half his dinner and they proceeded to play with their food for about 10 minutes. The second Caracara finally took his 'half' and left. The other messed around with his half and left in another 5 minutes or so. I thought it was interesting that this matter-of-fact sharing took place with such an air of unrushed complacency. It was fun to watch. One bird is banded on both legs the other is not banded. I can see Blue (R2) over metal on the left leg and white over green on the right but can't make out any other numbers from the ~50 shots I took. Ladies and gentlemen, on your left... ...or your right, depending on which plane you're flying in, you will see El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. In the moonlight. (Not). I was amazed at all the contrails we saw over Yosemite, crisscrossing the sky constantly in every direction. I know it's on the flightpath between Los Angeles and Seattle, but it must be on the flight path for every other flight in the world! A bunch of Flickr buddies went to Yosemite this weekend and it was simply incredible. It must have been group karma. Weather perfect. Camaraderie perfect. EVERYTHING perfect :-) Similar posts: flights to arequipa peru australia airfare special deals on airfare where to get cheap flight tickets google map flight sim charter flights from uk microsoft flight sim x acceleration airline ticket to africa green flight suits |

Great Blue Heron, Orlando Florida Look at that neck...and that leg.....what a work of art! More Information: It is the largest North American heron, with a head-to-tail length of 91–140 cm (36–55 in), a wingspan of 167–201 cm (66–79 in), and a weight of 2–3.6 kg (4.4-8 lbs). Notable features include slaty flight feathers, red-brown thighs, and a paired red-brown and black stripe up the flanks; the neck is rusty-gray, with black and white streaking down the front; the head is paler, with a nearly white face, and a pair of black plumes running from just above the eye to the back of the head. The feathers on the lower neck are long and plume-like; it also has plumes on the lower back at the start of the breeding season. The bill is dull yellowish, becoming orange briefly at the start of the breeding season, and the lower legs gray, also becoming orangey at the start of the breeding season. Immature birds are duller in color, with a dull blackish-gray crown, and the flank pattern only weakly defined; they have no plumes, and the bill is dull gray-yellow.[3][4][5] The heron stride is around 22 cm (9 in), almost in a straight line. Two of the three front toes are generally closer together. In a track the front toes as well as the back often show the small talons.[6] The subspecies differ only slightly in size and plumage tone, with the exception of subspecies occidentalis, which as well as normal colored birds, also has a distinct white morph, known as the Great White Heron (not to be confused with the Great Egret, for which "Great White Heron" was once a common name). It is found only in south Florida and some parts of the Caribbean. The Great White Heron differs from other Great Blues in bill morphology, head plume length, and in having a total lack of pigment in its plumage. This is mainly found near salt water, and was long thought to be a separate species. Birds intermediate between the normal morph and the white morph are known as Wurdemann's Heron; these birds resemble a "normal" Great Blue with a white head. One Foggy Flight SW Florida was mired in heavy fog this morning, but it began lifting about 9 AM so I headed out to Ding Darling NWR to capture some White Pelicans. The fog gave just the right amount of tonal separation between the gliding Pelican and the mangroves. The bump on the bill is the beginning of breeding characteristics for this beautiful bird. They'll soon be heading north to mate, and we'll have to wait until early December before seeing them again. Tech stuff: Canon 40D, 500mm f/4 lens + 1.4x teleconverter, 1/1600 @ f/5.6, ISO 400, exposed manually. I'm rarely shooting birds in flight hand-held anymore, and I wasn't here: the camera was mounted on a Gitzo tripod and Mongoose M3.5 head, enabling me to pan easily with the bird.

Air Asia Balked Landing at Chiang Mai Airport 5th May 2011, Air Asia flight FD4016 (Had Yai - Chiang Mai). The clip shows final approach and balked landing in heavy rain at Chiang Mai Intl Airport. The second landing attempt (not shown in the clip) was successful although there was wind shear and torrential rain just as the plane touched down. The flare lasted two or three times longer than usual as the pilot attempted to stablise aircraft!

CHEAP FLIGHTS TO CASABLANCA : CHEAP FLIGHTS
Cheap Flights To Casablanca
Casablanca Moskee Hassan II in Casablanca in Marokko is een moderne, relatief grote, moskee gebouwd in opdracht van Koning Hassan II, de vorige koning van Marokko. Ontworpen door de Franse architect Michel Pinseau en gebouwd door Bouygues. Het is de een na grootste moskee ter wereld, na de Masjid Al-Haram in Mekka. De moskee ligt aan de kust en biedt uitzicht over de Atlantische Oceaan en een gigantische glazen vloer, welke ruimte biedt voor 25.000 biddende bezoeker, biedt uitzicht op het water. Naast de 25.000 mensen die een plek kunnen vinden binnen is er buiten plaats voor 85.000 biddende mensen. De minaret is de hoogste minaret met een hoogte van 210 meter. De moskee is gebouwd op grond die onttrokken is aan de zee en de helft van de oppervlakte steekt uit over het water van de zee. Dit werd geinspireerd door de Koran vers die spreekt over de troon van God, gebouwd boven het water. Een gedeelte van de vloer van het complex is van glas, zodat de biddende gelovigen direct boven het water knielen. 's Nachts branden er bovenin de minaret schijnwerpers die richting Mekka schijnen, en aan de andere kant van de minaret schijnen de spots richting het Vrijheidsbeeld in New York. Naast deze -vooral- Godsdienstig geinspireerde eisen van opdrachtgever Koning Hassan II zijn er modernere kenmerken: het gebouw is ontworpen om bestand te zijn tegen aardbevingen, de deuren zijn elektrisch aangestuurd en het complex heeft een uitschuifbaar dak. De Moskee heeft duidelijke Moorse invloeden en de architectuur komt overeen met het Alhambra en de Mezquita in Spanje. De Hassan II Moskee is, samen met de historische Tin Mal Moskee, de enige moskee in Marokko die -tegen betaling- opengesteld is voor niet-moslims. Op 12 juli 1986 werd begonnen met de bouw met de bedoeling om het gereed te hebben voor de 61e verjaardag van de toenmalige Koning Hassan II van Marokko in 1989. De opening vond echter plaats op 30 augustus 1993. Alle graniet, pleisterwerk, marmer, hout en andere gebruikte materialen in het complex zijn afkomstig van alle streken van Marokko, met uitzondering van enkele witte granieten zuilen en de glazen kroonluchters: die komen beide uit Italie. Zesduizend traditionele Marrokaanse ambachtslieden hebben zes jaar gewerkt om al deze ruwe materialen te verwerken tot mozaieken, stenen en marmeren vloeren, de zuilen, houtsnijwerken, geschilderde plafonds etc. die nu te zien zijn. (Wikipedia) The Hassan II Mosque (Arabic: ???? ????? ???????) is a mosque located in Casablanca, Morocco. Designed by the French architect Michel Pinseau and built by Bouygues, it is the second largest in the world (after the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca). It stands on a promontory looking out to the Atlantic, which can be seen through a gigantic glass floor with room for 25,000 worshippers. A further 80,000 can be accommodated in the mosque's courtyard. Its minaret is the world's tallest at 210 metres (689 ft). (Wikipedia) Posted 7 minutes ago.

"Viva Coup-Ba!" poem for Dana ?VIVA COUP-BA! There once was a girl with hair like the sun Who loved to sew dresses and carry a gun Tired of the fog, the wind and the rain She dreamt of a land blessed with sweet cane “Cuba!” she said, “That’s where we’ll go. We’ll escape this harsh weather, sleet and wet snow.” She told her main squeeze, a strong handsome man He smiled and he said; “now that’s a good plan!” They booked the first flight that came into sight And before they knew it, they were there the next night The weather, the buildings, the people, the beach Old Fords and old Chevys, all within reach “Honey,” she pleaded, “I think we should stay. We’ll drink cheap rum and smoke puros all day” “Let’s do it!” he said, “Lets plan a coup! To overthrow Fidel and his brother too.” “?A LAS ARMAS!” they shouted, “Let’s fill them with lead!” And with two quick shots the Castros were dead The country was theirs; they ruled it their way But longed for their city, the one by the bay Our British Airways plane It was the first time for both of us to take BA. The service was great and we got breakfast on flight. I miss that. The cheap airlines do not offer food anymore..

CHEAPEST FLIGHTS TO HALIFAX - CHEAPEST FLIGHTS
Cheapest Flights To Halifax
Halifax On this day I went in search of Huddersfield's front engined buses. It was a Saturday and they had gone. So I went to Halifax and took pictures of their buses instead. I left Halifax on the bus to Manchester and the last bus I saw was a former Huddersfield Titan. It had been moved out to Halifax I believe to concentrate types at one depot. It did not seem right somehow. Halifax Summary This photo sums up some of the best parts of my trip to Halifax, if not all of it. Thrush Hermit (& autographs), Second Cup coffee, & my favourite Indian food in the world. There's also Dance Dance Revolution barely visible in the background, which got dragged out late one night for the first time...

FLIGHTS FROM MADRID TO LONDON : FLIGHTS FROM MADRID
Flights From Madrid To London
Day 29 - First Flight Time to catch up on the uploads I've missed from my photo diary while I've been away so I apologise for the lateness in these appearing on my stream! Until August 12th this year I had never been on an aeroplane. Certainly not through fear, just through never really having had the opportunity to do so. Today, however, I was setting off with a group from Hexham and Newcastle on a pilgrimage to World Youth Day and therefore had my first two flights from Newcastle to Heathrow then Heathrow to Madrid. The experience was amazing, what a feeling when you take off from the ground and nothing like I expected it to be at all! Thanks to those of my friends who had warned me the strange noises were meant to be there and to all of those on the flight who asked me every five minutes if I was ok then cheered in unison when we landed at Heathrow and I said I loved it! Also many thanks to Haleigh from our group who gave up her window seat so I could enjoy the view on my very first flight and capture this image. Santiago | Chile I still have few London pictures that I wanted to share with you guys but I just wanted to let you know that I was safely arrive in Chile and I was staying in Santiago. It was a very long flight, 13 hours and half by flight from Madrid Spain. Still adjusting myself here, it was 12 hours different from my country Malaysia. If I follow Malaysian time, I should be sleeping now... In case you are wondering, what is the black thing on the picture, I was taking this shot behind a driver and I want to include him in the frame...

FLIGHT TO SALZBURG - FLIGHT TO
Flight To Salzburg
www.salzburg.eu - Mirabellgarten Der beruhmte Garten von Schloss Mirabell wurde unter Fursterzbischof Johann Ernst Graf von Thun (1687 - 1709) nach Planen von Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach um 1690 umgestaltet und um 1730 von Franz Anton Danreiter wesentlich verandert. Der Pegasus, ein Werk von Kaspar Gras aus Innsbruck (1661), wurde 1913 aufgestellt, nachdem er zuvor am Kapitelplatz, am Mirabellplatz, am Makartplatz und eine zeitlang sogar im Museum (unter einer Treppe) gestanden hatte. Die 4 Figurengruppen um den Springbrunnen stammen von Ottavio Mosto (1690) und symbolisieren die 4 Elemente: Feuer (Flucht des Aeneas aus Troja), Luft (Kampf des Herkules mit Antaeus), Erde (Pluto, Gott des Reichtums, raubt Zeus' Tochter Persephone) und Wasser (Paris entfuhrt Helena und lost dadurch den Tojanischen Krieg aus). Die Gotterfiguren auf den Balustraden wurden von Bartholomaus van Opstal und Johann Frohlich geschaffen. Die Kopien des beruhmten "Borghesischen Fechters" werden Andreas Gotzinger (das innere Paar) und Michael Bernhard Mandl (das au?ere, kunstlerisch wertvollere Paar) zugeschrieben. An den Postamenten finden wir das Wappen des Salzburger Erzbischofs Johann Ernst Graf Thun (1687 - 1709). Die prunkvoll verzierten Vasen auf der Balustrade wurden nach Entwurfen von Fischer von Erlach hergestellt. Im westlichen Teil des Gartens befindet sich das Heckentheater, das - zwischen 1704 und 1718 angelegt - eines der altesten Heckentheater nordlich der Alpen ist. ____________________________________________ Prince Archbishop Johann Ernst Graf von Thun (1687 - 1709) had the famous Mirabell Gardens remodelled in 1690 according to plans by Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach. They were redesigned around 1730 by Franz Anton Danreiter. The Pegasus, designed by Kaspar Gras from Innsbruck (1661), was placed here in 1913 after having stood on Chapter Square, Mirabell Square, Makart Square and even in a museum (under a staircase). The 4 groups of figures around the fountain were sculpted by Ottavio Mosto (1690) and symbolize the 4 elements: Fire (Aeneas' flight from Troy), Air (Hercules' battle with Antaeus), Earth (Pluto, lord of the Underworld abducting Zeus' daughter Persephone) and Water (Paris carrying off Helen, precipitating the Trojan War). The mythical figures on the balustrade are the work of Bartholomaus van Opstal and Johann Frohlich. The copies of the famous "Borghese Fencer" are attributed to Andreas Gotzinger (the inner pair) and Michael Bernhard Mandl (the outer, artistically more valuable pair). The pedestals bear the coat of arms of Salzburg's Archbishop Johann Ernst Graf Thun (1687 - 1709). The elaborately decorated vases on the balustrade were built after plans by Fischer von Erlach. The Heckentheater (Hedge Theater) is located on the west side of the Gardens. Built between 1704 and 1718, it is one of the oldest hedge theaters north of the Alps. My Sound of Music #1 Movie intro - Flight over St. Gilgen, Wolfgangsee This town is St. Gilgen on Lake Wolfgangsee. It is about 35 Km to the East of Salzburg. You drive on B158 towards lake Fuschl (there where the Trapp children drove their bicycles) pass it and after 5 Km you will arrive in St. Gilgen. By the way this is the town Wolfgang A. Mozart's mother was from. Location of the town: Latitude: 47°45'59.42"N Longitude: 13°22'3.47"E The shot was taken before you arrive in St. Gilgen on the road from Salzburg. Today to the right hand side of B158 in Fuschl you will see an artificial lake with wired looking new buildings surrounding it: That's where your Red Bull comes from what you might drink right now!

Google Earth Flight Tracking
Wellington - Nelson - Wellington This is the GPS track from a flight I did in Aug 2006. Track was south from Wellington out over the Cook strait and onto Picton. From Picton we flew overhead Havlock and then onto a 'touch and go' at Nelson. Departed south from Nelson onto the Nelson lakes district to overhead the Lake Station airfield. Headed east to the Wairau river valley to track to the north of Blenheim and back over Cook strait. The approach into Wellington was from the west with a track that took us directly over Karori and then skirting around Mt Victoria onto a final approach for runway 16. November 5th 2005 Sport Comp This is a Google Earth view of my flight track. The task involved flying from the South turn point, up to the North turnpoint, back to the South TP and then race to Goal. A total of 2.2 miles, but it was my first attempt at trying to get to certain points.

FLIGHTS NEW YORK TO SEATTLE : YORK TO SEATTLE
Flights New York To Seattle
11 more sleeps! I can't believe I'm off to the USA and Canada soon....I'm such a big kid counting down sleeps but I can't help it when I'm really looking forward to something. I've spent the day printing off all the flight and hotel confirmations, list writing, organising and general holiday planning stuff. I love the US, been to about 15 states so far. Never been to Canada but I hear it's beautiful. Woohoo! You would swear I was 13, not 33 :) I'm half asian! Can you tell!? As our flight to Seattle was delayed, that made our transfer in Seattle somewhat stressful. It basically involved walk/running while totally lost through the Seattle airport -- running down stairs, escalators, long hallways, entire wings, and catching a subway to the N-wing of the terminal. We arrived at the gate just as they were announcing final boarding calls. Phew!

ONE WAY AIRLINE TICKETS - AIRLINE TICKETS
One Way Airline Tickets
Long Way Back Home In January of 2008, after spending Christmas and the new year with our family in Brazil the journey back to Japan became one of our worst nightmares ever. POA -> SP -> Washington -> San Francisco -> San Jose -> San Francisco -> Los Angeles -> Seoul -> Osaka. In total we spent over 60 hours between airplanes and airport gates, not being able to lie down and sleep properly. We were actually supposed to take a flight to Osaka from San Francisco but due to a strong storm our airplane wasn't able to land properly so we landed in San Jose and had to wait inside the aircraft until they moved back to San Francisco, thus loosing the connection and ending up in Los Angeles and later in South Korea! This picture was taken in San Jose, after a pretty scary unsuccessful attempt to land in San Francisco. While we where waiting the pilot decided say "hello" to the passengers in the corridor. He saw a little kid with his mom waiting in the line for the toilet and asked if they wanted to see the cockpit. The mom angry replied she just wanted food and go home because they were tired. Listening to that I decided to ask if I could see the cabin, and take a picture -- meaning a picture of him, the pilot in his seat. He missunderstood me, took the camera from my hands and let me sit there. So much for all the anti-terror security craziness. On the way out my head bump in some controls on the ceiling, which made me a bit concerned. Overall, the storm just made what was already horrible even worse. They kept terrorizing us saying that they were overbooked and that there was no place for all -- as if it was our fault that they sold more tickets than seats they had. Our luggage only arrived about four days later. After that we promised ourselves we would never ever take United Airlines again, and also avoid all other American companies. We've been trying to avoid American stopovers as much as we can since then as well. I've survived Laos airlines! For those who are considering taking Laos airlines, it's quite an interesting experience. After getting on the plane, pray hard!!! (Vietiene to Siem Reap. One way ticket was US$ 130. Almost the same amount that I have paid for the 2-way return ticket from Sg to BKK.)

Non Stop Flights To Tampa
On the Plane I flew to L. A. on the late, lamented Song Airlines, which was supposed to be Delta's attempt to go up against ATA and Southwest. Obviously, it didn't work. It was far and away the nicest flight I've ever been on. I was actually able to sleep on the plane, something I've never been able to do before. Not to mention I saved a boatload of cash on the fare. Admittedly, I had to fly out of Tampa to do it--apparently if you live in Fort Myers, you can't get there from here (at least not non-stop)--but I still came out on top. In short...Best. Flight.

TAP AIR PORTUGAL FLIGHT 425 : PORTUGAL FLIGHT 425
Tap Air Portugal Flight 425
Madeira airport Madeira Airport, informally known as Funchal Airport, is an international airport located near Funchal, Madeira, Portugal. The airport controls national and international air traffic of the island of Madeira. It was firstly opened on 18 July 1964 with two 1,600m runways. The airport was once infamous for its short runway which, surrounded by high mountains and the ocean, made it a tricky landing for even the most experienced of pilots. The original runway was only 1600 metres in length, but was extended by 200 metres 8 years after the TAP Air Portugal Flight 425 incident of 1977 and subsequently rebuilt in 2000, almost doubling the size of the runway, building it out over the ocean. Instead of using landfill, the extension was built on a series of 180 columns, each being about 70m tall. (Wikipedia) ----- Its truly interesting to drive below the runway or even close to it and see a plane that is just about to land!
