There is something about Susan Boyle that really endears me to her. I really love her voice. I have her album and it's beautiful. I highly recommend it.Originally Posted by Olga4real

.Can`t wait for the pictures from your trip!
I don`t know what does it mean "By the power of grayskull" but yes it is her Susan Boyle, I met her accidentally and she was very nice and friendly with people she didn`t behave as a star. I didn`t know much about her before because in Hungary very few people know her I read an article about her about a year ago but from now it will change
I'll try to make them work tomorrow.
Haha, neither do I to be honest. I just remember that line from the movie Hot Fuzz.
Nice pics Claev, I like the close ups. The details revealed are fantastic.

Back to the aircraft, perhaps? My last batch was exclusively about SAAB aircraft, but there is more, of course:
Early aero engine.
A truly spartan cockpit (if you can call it that) of one of the earliest aircraft of the Swedish Airforce.
A beautifuly restored old Heinkel.
A Gloster Gladiator in Finnish livery.
Interesting detail: Skis brought along on missions...
Fiat C.R. 42 Falco.
Business end of a North American P- 51D Mustang
FFVS J22. A Swedish product that came into being due to the problems involved with importing anything during WWII.
Hawker Hunter. An early jet, and a really beautiful aircraft.
Spitfire PR Mk XIX. Popular among the pilots, as it was able to give the early jets a run for their money.
Interesting fact: The prop is in fact wooden! The reason was that the contraption was rather front heavy and tended to chew tarmac if brakes
were applied too heavily. The wooden prop bashed its tips off instead of ruining the engine when that happened.

Your pictures are amazing Claes, as usual but the first series those close-ups with raspberry and unknown flowers just are marvelous!

Great photos everyone !
We have a resurgence.

Oh yeas we do, we do!
We went to the Lake District for our summer holiday this year. We stayed in the village of Near Sawrey a couple of miles from Hawkeshead (where Wordsworth went to school) and Lake Windermere .
The cottage we stayed in (Anvil Cottage)
This cottage is opposite 'Hilltop Farm' where Beatrix Potter lived. The entrance to Anvil Cottage appeared on Potter's book 'The Tale of the Pie and the Patty-Pan' (1905):
Lake Windermere:
Wordsworth or no Wordsworth, when a dog's gotta swim, a dog's gotta swim:
Our local lake 'Estwaite Water' the most peaceful place on earth!:
My heart leaps up when I behold/ A rainbow in the sky...
The Wordsworths resting in Grassmere:
Ever thought that the sky could be so beautiful???
Lake Buttermare:
I have forgotten the name of this place!
"The farther he goes the more good it does me. I don’t want philosophies, tracts, dogmas, creeds, ways out, truths, answers, nothing from the bargain basement. He is the most courageous, remorseless writer going and the more he grinds my nose in the sh1t the more I am grateful to him..."
-- Harold Pinter on Samuel Beckett
These are just a few practise photos using my recently purchased digital camera which I am still getting used to.
