There's a whole lot of wonderful associated with the world of flight. The physics of flight dictate a kind of spare approach to engineering. No room for extra flourishes or wasteful add-ons. Everything is structured and shaped with the sole intent of allowing these fantastic machines - and everything on board them - to get (and stay) off the ground, fly tremendous distances at ridiculously fast speeds, do so efficiently, and eventually return to earth safely and comfortably.
While the engineers who design aircraft probably don't give it much thought, the inevitable results of their efforts will almost invariably look pretty neat in their own right. So when I strolled down the assembly line at London-based Diamond Aircraft, it was hard to resist the urge to capture a few pixels.
Your turn: As this is the launch photo for our new Thematic theme, fly, your mission is simple: Take a fly-themed pic, share it on your blog or website, then pop back here and leave a comment letting folks know where to find it. Feel free to repeat the process through the week, and don't forget to visit other participants to share the joy*. Thematic is our weekly photo sharing activity, and you can learn all about it here.
* Please accept my apologies for not being a diligent visitor in recent weeks. I've been fairly consumed with the transition into my new role (click here for more), and as a result have had a lot less free time than usual. Thank you for your understanding - and continued support of Thematic. I should be back to a normal cadence in a few weeks.

Hey, Carmi: Congratulations. I just caught the news of your new gig! Very cool!!
ReplyDeleteI can't stop thinking, "Shiny!" Then I read the rest of the post and realized why the Modernist and Surrealist don't make planes ;-)
ReplyDeleteHere is my bit of fly:

This was timely for me, as I was on a plane with a window seat just days ago. Passed safely over a volcano which we've been warned may erupt again soon. Here I am flying
ReplyDeleteGot inspiration at last! Fine it on http://gillymaccsphotos.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI have another entry.
ReplyDeleteHere is a Tufted Titmouse, seemingly perched on an invisible branch as it approached the suet feeder.

ReplyDeleteWhat can I say, I love taking pictures of birds.
And the first pic is my best Tufted Titmouse pic, ever.

Hey Carmi,
ReplyDeleteGiven its the end of the week, and you know I do a lot of spotting at Sydney Airport, I thought I would wait for a very special visitor to arrive on Saturday... It was a horrid day, rain greeted us with very high humidity, and the day ended with over 40c reached in some parts, none of these things was going to distract me from getting the hobbits!!!
So, mines up as well at AussiePomm - The Hobbits have come to Sydney!!!!
Have a great day!!
