Dentist, and general teeth lover.
How's this for a snow pic? This afternoon at Bruntingthorpe
That's an awesome pic rugger!

The noise! My God, the noise!
an alternative to the old gritter eh.
Capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack
off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse.
Good pic though, the noise makes it look a bit retro, it looks great believe me
Love the plane shot (what is it? Harrier?) Really like how you can see the brighter "rings" with afterburner. Noise? Sorry, did you say noise? I can't year ya!
Woke up this morning to find just a wall of white out of the hotel window. Half way up the mountain, we're in it. Will post a pic when it clears (should be awesome up in the Swiss mountains)
English Electric Lightning Mk 6 at Bruntingthorpe. The rings are shockwaves in the exhaust gas - and believe me, you could feel every one! No noise reduction, pretty much OOC.
I've taxi'd in one when I was a lot younger, my old man was Lightning ground crew in Saudi. Awesome old beasts they are, seeing them go full vertical after takeoff is jaw dropping
I think you can buy supersonic rides in EELs in South Africa. Plenty of ocean around there to avoid disturbing people. I can't remember ever seeing one flying, but they look really mean. They're just a big jet engine with stabilisers attached, like a rocket.
The photo doesn't really show how BIG these things are. They were letting us sit in the cockpit of the second plane in the hangar - felt like a kid again
I really should clone out those legs though.
View from my window:
Only worked with manual focus, auto just focussed on the closest snowflake.
And me trying rather stupidly to do a 1 second exposure:
Yup, that is genuinely the photo btw, not just a random white 640x480 jpeg.
That's not a 1 Sec exposure
