TSC: bloke stuff

I wanted always to get my private pilots licence... sigh.........

My Dad was a pilot, I grew up in a small airport.. the day I saw his place crash I lost interest! He wasn't flying it and the guy that was survived. All my brothers have their licenses, they don't fly much these days and that's tough for my little brother because he and I are both colour blind.

nicely done Wendi, like your processing

thank you Wierd, it needed something, it was dusky when I took the picture so the details just faded into the background

Love the presentation Wendi. And a perfect entry

thanks Jan

The plane has a true pioneer feel to it, love the film border!

that was my intention to make it look old thank you Gudrun

A couple of teacups full of water should get that one in the air.

in a while (like 3 months) the lakes will thaw the required amount of water

Great processing, Wendi, and a very novel photo to represent the challenge.

thanks Amelia..

There's two manly passion meeting: interest on all kinds of machines and navigation with maps ;-)

And there are plenty of studies made on this. For example the followings:

On one study a group of monkeys that had been grown in wild, with no influence to Homo Sapiens, were shown two kinds of items: toy cars and human dolls. Mostly men monkeys started to examine toy cars, rolling the wheels etc. Female monkeys picked dolls and started to examine them.

Another study proves male brain structure differs from female. On male the nerves system has been oriented on signals going between forehead and back of the brains, and this may explain why men are, if not better, but more interested on navigation and finding locations. Female then have more signals going between the both sides of brains, which then explains the capability for multitasking.

thanks Sami, male and female brains are very different.. I can't argue that point..

Love the plane and the way you processed.

thanks Cordia

Really cool shot Wendi especially with that film frame you've added! :)

thanks Doc enjoy the week

nice image, with a great vintage feel to it

thanks stoker.. vintage was the plan

Ah winter in the Yukon ... bush pilots, male or female are a hardy breed. Great image Wendi ... xx

I knew a woman that was a bush pilot, she was one of the first woman bush pilot in Alaska! Amazing woman with some just as amazing stories! Sadly she passed away a few years back.

Great entry - I like the cinema effect, looks a bit like "Indiana Jones"! ;-D

Thanks Dida, I suppose I should have put a treasure there for him to find!

Beautifully captured.
Congrats on Explore.

thanks Jaap for the visit and the info

solche Aufnahmen kenne ich nur aus dem Fernsehen, ... ;
dieser Beruf ist nur was für 'harte' Männer, super Beispiel und bearbeitet, Wendi!

Ich war noch nie in einem Float-Flugzeug, da ich mich nicht wirklich um das Wasser kümmere, ich glaube, es würde mich ausflippen, ich liebe es zu fliegen, aber in diesem Fall .. Ich bleibe auf Terra firma (der Boden) Danke Christel .

I was amazed at the number of pontoon planes that I saw up in your neck of the woods. They are rare where I live. I've flown in one once. I had a great time, but I don't think that I will ever do it again. Hitting small waves while landing was something else.

Xlent bloke stuff! Nice processing

A fine lifeline in the wilderness
