This was on the Fuji site, thought I would share.....

A photographer for a national magazine was assigned to get photos of a great forest fire
Smoke at the scene was too thick to get any good shots, so he frantically called his office to get them to hire a plane.
"It will be waiting for you at the airport!" he was assured by his editor. As soon as he got to the small, rural airport, sure enough, a plane was warming up near the runway.
He jumped in with his equipment and yelled, "Let's go! Let's go!"
The pilot swung the plane into the wind and soon they were in the air.

"Fly over the north side of the fire," said the photographer, "and make three or four low level passes."
"Why?" asked the pilot.
"Because I'm going to take pictures! I'm a photographer, and photographers take pictures!" said the photographer with great exasperation.
After a long pause the pilot said, "You mean you're not the instructor?"

This herring gull was following the boat I was on just glkiding along side not dobt waiting for scraps of foof, it made relatively to photograph

Did somebody ask for Unusual photos?

Pictures that tell a story are usually interesting. The railway over the Caledonian Canal rotates to allow ships to pass. More images maybe seen by clicking here.

The massive pipes that supply the hydro-electric power station drawing water from the River Clyde.

'Waterfall days'
A large hydro-electric power station was built in 1927 to harness the power of the Falls of Clyde. The falls were a key attraction on the site, and when the water volume markedly fell, so did the visitor numbers. The reserve has worked hard over the years to develop other natural attractions, such as the wildlife tours and woodland walks and today visitor numbers are a healthy 60,000 a year. Tourists can still enjoy the natural force of the falls on special 'waterfall days' when Scottish Power turn off the hydroelectric power station. The resulting spectacular cascades have drawn a thousand or more people into the reserve. These events are generally timed to coincide with bank holidays so that more people can appreciate the spectacle.
