Photo Of The Day

Coo. I drove down the other side of that loch on Sunday! Saw one or two ships from a distance, moored up.

I went to Antigua a couple of weeks ago and the largest single sail yacht on the planet was moored in English Harbour. I took a photo of it as we chugged past:

Info about it here: http://www.mirabellayachts.com/

Mast height: 292ft!!!

I saw that in falmouth a few years ago getting some work done on its mast, when i first saw it it was behind a building, i saw a bow sticking out one end and a stern at the other I assumed it was two boats.

It ridiculous!!

See if you can spot the mast of it in this one:

The final space shuttle launch made a spectacular arc across the sky in photos taken from the edge of space by a student balloon project.

From an altitude of more than 89,000 feet (27,000 meters), the balloon took photos of NASA's shuttle Atlantis making the final liftoff of the space shuttle program. Atlantis blasted off on Friday (July 8) from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

The balloon, nicknamed StratoShuttle-1, is a project of the California-based Quest for Stars. The organization lets students help loft balloon-borne experimentsto the edge of space using relatively cheap, off-the-shelf hardware.

Two from today:

a small child sleeping on the railway track in Dhaka, Bangladesh

A small boy who gave me tea and invited me into his home along the side of the railway in Dhaka, Bangladesh

Both images are copyright property of Nicholas Adams and are part of a larger project photographing slums and deprived areas around the world.

Very nice. Always like seeing your photos. Are you in Bangladesh at the moment?

yeah, shooting here for another week then back in the UK

similar vein to spotter's shuttle post;

The entirety of a Norwegian Coastal Express ship’s 134-hour tour from Bergen to Kirkenes was recently streamed live via Norwegian Public Service broadcaster NRK. The Guinness Book of Records later certified the broadcast as “the longest continuously aired documentary.”

Watch all 2600km of the MS Nordnorge‘s voyage, conveniently condensed to 5 minutes.

Pah, and to think I actually watched that streaming. Some beautiful scenery

It's everywhere in the press, but it's worth repeating:

Yoiks.

'armless

A crocodile who thinks it's a dolphin? interesting...

Guy with red shirt... look at his size comparing to the lizard.
FUck my boots, and to think they paid to be there....

Just realised It's missing an arm.

Then the 'armless joke made sense....

The London Street Photography festival is under way with exhibitions across the capital, including Polly Braden and David Campany's photographic journey though the Lea valley in east London, George Georgiou and Mimi Mollica's contrasting images of Londoner's journeys by bus, and Nick Turpin and Nils Jorgensen's takes on their respective cities: London and Paris. There are also two great retrospectives, the unmissable Vivian Maier: A Life Uncovered and Walter Joseph's photographs of London street markets in the 1940s.

Some interesting exhibitions. The Vivian Maier one in particular.
Going to have a look at it next Tuesday if anyone is around.
