I uploaded one from my phone because I still don't have a laptop!
I wonder if anyone can recognize the location.

4. Antarctica

Didn't you win a contest with an image from there?

Penguins were on my bucket list when we visited New Zealand in February. Little blue penguins come ashore every night on the South Island.

2. Speaking of location,

If you look closely at the far left on my Lake Erie photo you can see the Perry nuclear power plant. (Perry, Ohio). Photo was taken right off Geneva-on-the-Lake.

5. I'm in!

An F-22 hitting the afterburners at the Pacific Airshow in Huntington Beach last year. I had a hard time choosing which image to enter. My wife picked this one. I wish there was a way to convey the sound as well.

Here are some other airshow images.

6. Zoom zoom zoom! I'm in!

In 1984 I was installing a telephone office serving the Vehicle Assembly Building and Shuttle Processing facility at KSC and was afforded the opportunity of going to one of the VIP viewing areas, a great honor for a worker bee. August 30, 1984 @8:41 EDT Discovery launched with the payload of Satellite Business Systems Syncom IV-2 and Solar Wing Telstar.

8. It's gorgeous, my dear HAB911!

It does seem a bit large. Perhaps you could downsize it a bit. It's a wonderful image!

[HAB911]

10. LOL, had to go back to the old 1024 rule to get it to change size!

[Grumpy Old Guy]

12. That is a great image.

It will be hard to beat.
