The highlight at what was otherwise an uninspiring Farnborough 2018
The Airbus A350-1000 in their super carbon livery house colours.
Just check out the curve of that wingtip!

The black box on the front of the tractor weighs 1,500 kilos or 3,300 pounds on it's own. The tractor itself ... 12,000 kilos or 26,000 pounds.

Not what you would usually associate with a canal
This is 'Royal Iris of The Mersey' one of two Mersey Ferries making the return journey from Salford Quays, down the Manchester Ship Canal. Picture taken at the point where the canal joins the River Mersey entering in to the Mersey Estuary.
Royal Iris was built in 1959 and is owned by Merseytravel and operated by Mersey Ferries.

Machine folded up and ready to move go. Just time to eat chips (We Brits know what to call 'em :) and reflect before moving on to the next field. Summer ... hopefully it's not far away and will be a good time to make hay in 2014

Looking over the reflecting pool at the Capitol Building in Washington DC
Construction of the Capitol Building began in 1793 under the watchful eyes of George Washington. Now home to the House of Representatives and The Senate
The Dome is made from cast iron and weighs 8.9 million pounds.
Well worth a visit ... The Visitor Center is the newest addition to this historic complex. At nearly 580,000 square feet, the underground Visitor Center is approximately three quarters of the size of the Capitol itself.

Genuinely unsure how this will go down!
It's a pair of shower heads, yes. But it's a pair of shower heads in the Cell Block on Alcatraz. The penitentiary itself operated until March 1963, after having 1,576 prisoners pass through

Taken from Alamo Square, the Victorian Painted Ladies of San Francisco in October 2010 with the contrasting 20th Century Transamerica Pyramid in the downtown background. Almost guaranteed you'll see them on a postcard from San Francisco.
