Never been to Chicago but looooove the Blues Brothers and Chicago landmarks always stayed in my mind

From the Swissotel on E Lower Wacker Drive.

Approach to DCA. First flying over IAD passing along the Potomac River and then the usual scenic approach to DCA from the north.

Continuing along the Northern Ireland coast with unexpected sunshine and turquoise water that could be mistaken for a tropical island.

I love unmarked planes ... don't know why ... there is some mystery, elegance, simplicity, purity etc in an unmarked plane ... saw one of the unmarked once late Dec in DEL ... the only give away was the Sri Lankan flag near the 1R ...

Edit : pic of the aforementioned unmarked plane

No time for a re paint?

Highly unlikely. First one was parked at ORD on Thursday and this one was inbound to IAD on Friday.

Interesting little twin-rotor aircraft in the last pic. Do you remember anything about it?

Sorry no. It was a bit of a quick visit. I suspect if you look at the website, there will be a map which names the aircraft based on where they are.

There were a few other gyrocoptors there.

My office yesterday was the backyard to mow.

But I spotted this baby possum clinging to the back fence.


Assuming it had either fallen out of mother’s pouch or been abandoned.

Young enough not to have any fur yet.



Miss H came to the rescue with a blanket to warm it up and shoe box for transport.



Now in the care of the staff at Australia Zoo after getting a clean bill of health.

Brushtail. Bit late in the season to be this young, though I am no expert. I picked one up about the same age in September.
