ABC Wednesday - J

abc wednesdayround3 click this banner for more ABC posts.

J is for Jet Boats

In 2005 Class V1 World Championship boats visited Trondheim. These are some of my pics. Happy ABC Wednesday :-) The small island you see in the background is called  Munkholmen.

    Fart og spenning de luxe - imponerende bilder av båter i den farten. Kjørte de fra helikoptrene?

    Fabulous action shots, especially the first. I love how blue the blue is in the others. But what are those helicopters doing? It makes me think of a James Bond movie!

    Wow. Your jet boats and my boats are separated by 54 years but the colors are remarkable in both your photos and mine. I must say I like your action a lot better than mine.

    I have nothing so special but I did post a scene I photographed in 1954 right after color slide film came out. It is on Canon Pixels for ABC Wednesday.

    Meget flott serie og flott fanget.
    Dette går vel i 230-240 så man skal ha rask lukkertid for å fryse disse motivene.

    Oh Wow! How exhilarating! I'm wondering why the helicopters are there. In case of crashes to get the men out?

    They are moving right along, aren't they? And of course, the colors are stunning.

    Hi Ivar, you really have captured the element of speed. I would liked to have been watching this race.
    The Morris Minor? I haven't seen many either, this one was a surprise find.

    wow, fart og penger gir forurensing og dyreskrekk.
    Det sier man under racet her i Oslo, men gøy er det

    I'll leave that sport to braver souls than me...
    We always see film clips of those jet boats having the most terrible of accidents...
