Photo Of The Day

love the Silent Night one, spotter

^ you can't beat a good old eastern European brutalist monument.

Love that nearly every man here is wearing a suit and hat. Those where the days.

Possibly one of the most bleak photo stories but stunning work none the less. To see the rest from the beginning look here: http://www.darcypadilla.com/thejulieproject/intro.html

Fuck me.
I'm sitting here with tears streaming down my face having spent the last 30 mins going through this story.
I haven't got the words to express how utterly fucking heartbreaking I found this.

I don't know if it's possible to look at that site without crying.

I must be heartless.

I saw it a little while ago. Very touching.

Not necessarily its last moments - we had a similar print on our kitchen window, and the bird picked itself up and flew off.

Julie project - think someone posted it maybe in non-digital last year or so. heartbreaking.

I couldn't read much of it.

Nihon Jitensha Shinkōkai would hunt you down and stick your only leg down the throat if you would come to a race like that!

Something a bit more cheerful.

My friend Brendan Fairclough riding his bicycle in British Columbia.

Question here.
Wouldn't the rider gain more from having only the driveside (on her left side, obvs) ?

Would the bike be used by more than one rider?
Paralympians seem to be generally underfunded.

Would the bike be used by more than one rider?

Not necessarily, but introducing a world of incompatibility is still a terrible idea just in case something breaks and you need to borrow bits from another team member, or even another team. In track racing, you either have the kind of resources enjoyed by Team GB or you make damn sure you KISS*

You're not wrong there. Worthwhile repost.

Polaris, Storm, Magneto and Juggernaut are not members of a band of superheroes; the fantastic four are a quartet of African pygmy hedgehogs born in Cameron Park Zoo in Waco, Texas. The spiky bundles of joy were born on August 17, the smallest weighing in at 18 grams and the largest 36 grams.Picture: Cameron Park Zoo

Perhaps this should be in Spotted. Woodberry Down Primary School.

Did 'scoble help them with the build?

It's got a Gaston seatpost too.

Nice one

Saturn's moon Rhea is gently lit in front of a background of the planet with a wide shadow cast by the rings which are seen nearly edge-on.

This view looks toward the anti-Saturn side of Rhea (1,528 kilometers, or 949 miles across) and toward the northern, sunlit side of the rings from just above the ringplane.

The image was taken in visible green light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on May 8, 2010. The view was obtained at a distance of approximately 2.1 million kilometers (1.3 million miles) from Rhea and at a sun-Rhea-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 101 degrees. Image scale is 13 kilometers (8 miles) per pixel.
