My first thought is "oooh, pretty". My second thought is "I wonder how much it's costing me to light all those fucking bulbs?"

Funny you should say that, last time I was heading to Wales it was closed!

The images are stunning but it leaves me with one thought and looking at those images in a slightly different way tell me you dont agree.

I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet

The space shuttle ISS one doesn't seem quite so amazing as you tend to think it's just 2 things docked in space. But then where was the picture taken from? So that makes 3 ultra expensive and complex space craft orbiting together with such amazing precision!

London looks like an ambeboa. Or some kind of glowing beat breaking free of it's surroundings and heading down the M4 Laughing

Bomb bay doors are open on the docked shuttle so one of the spacemen probably put on a suit and swam out a bit for a better pic Smile
