A speeding Rail vehicle at Lions Drag strip in SoCal many years ago, yes it was human made powered by a very powerful motor speeding around 175 mph in a 1/4 of a mile, if memory serves me rightly.

So, The Blue Angels have a show in Pensacola every year and one of the solo pilots comes across the water from the left. I have been trying for years to time it and get the rooster tail coming up out of the water. Too damn fast.

Shame about the toilet paper, though ... I guess you couldn't re-use it, after that - huh?

I was taking photos of traffic at night from my office window. Obviously man made and moving at 70-80 mph

A blue Angel taking off. I was in the old control tower at the Boeing Museum of Flight, the jet was the last of the group to take off practicing for Seafair so it was a one time chance. I framed it between the tails of two parked planes...I wanted some blur to show movement, guessed at an appropriate shutter speed but guessed a little too slow. Too blurry, but still recognizable.

A Blue Angel taking off - provides a Rooster Tail - does it?
Can you provide a pic of this, Jim?

That's neat, Spencer .... multiple continuous lines, there, huh?
At first, I'd not realized I was looking at the traffic ... thought they were just rails on the side of the road!!!!
Amazing, that! .... No tail-lights!!! ... Just the continuous beam of headlamps ....

Doesn't look as though you can get it in and out of the garage with those Gullwings up, does it, DNW?

I took a picture of a Humming Bird using my First digital Point and Shoot Camera. I shall look through my photos to find it and will post later.
