Patrick - Palmdale, California, USA

Since leaving Gemini Observatory in January 2017, I've been hanging out with the cool telescope operators of the Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA).  The picture you see is me on a model of SOFIA in their offices in Palmdale, California, where they work most of the year.

Tomorrow, SOFIA will be headed to Christchurch, New Zealand for it's annual 2-month deployment where it will gather data on southern hemisphere targets.  I will join it on several of it's flights out of Christchurch, which I will photograph and document here.

For more information, see https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/SOFIA/index.html.

Sincerely,

Patrick (the LEGO man on his way to the Very Large Array in New Mexico)

Afaf travels from the Thames Barrier to the Shard

Found at the outer eastern reaches of the great city Afaf was gazing upon the architectural wonder of the Thames barrier when I found him. He felt like a bit of luxury so went to stay in the Shangri La hotel at The Shard. Here he is on the 50th floor gazing down at the river below on a wet and windy London morning. He was left at London Bridge tube station hoping to head off on a new adventure in the city.
