Reflections from the 2016 Snowmass balloon festival.
I'm starting another big project so I apologize in advance for not keeping up with my contacts....I really do appreciate all the comments/invites and support!
These men are some of the finest pilots in the world. However, there are always extreme risks with anything that requires such precision and accuracy and where milliseconds matter.
Sadly, Capt Jeff Koss the pilot of #6 died in a tragic training accident Jun 2, 2016 in Nashville, TN less than 2 months after we witnessed this show. Our prayers are with the families of all who are affected by the loss of this fine and courageous pilot.
There is now a memorial in Syrna, TN in the honor of Captain Jeff Koss

Die ab 1955 hergestellte FED-2 kann in ihrer äusseren Gestalt und auch Teilen ihrer Konstruktion ihre Entwicklungsgeschichte aus einer Leica II-Kopie nicht verheimlichen, weisst aber ´gegenüber dieser viele Unterscheidungsmerkmale und Weiterentwicklungen auf.
Ein trauriger aktueller Bezug, der nicht unerwähnt bleiben soll, ist der Sitz des Herstellers FED in der ukrainischen Stadt Charkiw. Und der Name «FED» leitet sich (gemäss Wikipedia) von Felix Dserschinski ab, dem Gründer des sowjetischen Geheimdienstes Tscheka.

The FED-2, which was manufactured from 1955 onward, cannot conceal its development history from a Leica II copy in its outer appearance and parts of its construction, but it has many distinguishing features and further developments.
A sad current reference that should not remain unmentioned is the headquarters of the manufacturer FED in the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv. And the name "FED" is derived (according to Wikipedia) from Felix Dzerzhinsky, the founder of the Soviet secret service Cheka.
Great Blue Heron
From Audubon : Widespread and familiar (though often called "crane"), the largest heron in North America. Often seen standing silently along inland rivers or lakeshores, or flying high overhead, with slow wingbeats, its head hunched back onto its shoulders. Highly adaptable, it thrives around all kinds of waters from subtropical mangrove swamps to desert rivers to the coastline of southern Alaska. With its variable diet it is able to spend the winter farther north than most herons, even in areas where most waters freeze. A form in southern Florida (called "Great White Heron") is slightly larger and entirely white.
Explore Dec 7/ 07 Mute Swans, landing, early morning light. They actually run across the water as they land which differs from most that ski across the water until they stop. Larger is better www.pbase.com/woody/image/89992210/original.jpg IMG_2186
Although the last weeks offered quite poor conditions for hiking and photography at least one day of the weekends provided a little bit of sunshine. Costedt, Ostwestfalen, Germany
Santuario Ramses II
Al fondo del templo de Ramses II, en Abu Simbel, se encuentra el Santuario (Naos), donde destacan cuatro estatuas talladas en la roca. Se trata de Ptah, Amón-Ra, Ramsés II divinizado y Ra-Horajti, todos en posición sedente. La precisión con la que fue edificado el templo hace que dos días al año (20 de febrero y 20 de octubre, nacimiento y coronación de Ramsés II respectivamente) los rayos solares entren hasta este lugar e iluminen las caras de Amón, Ra y Ramsés. El rostro de Ptah permanece en la penumbra, ya que se trata del dios de la oscuridad.
Debido al desplazamiento que sufrió el templo para salvarlo de las aguas del Lago Nasser, en la actualidad este fenómeno se produce con dos días de retraso.

I purposely left the gannets in the right hand corner in the photo. Every inch of space is at a premium at this nesting site. It takes much precision to find a small space in which to land.
