Another intriguing thing about Uranus: Some of its moons probably harbor underground oceans, and at least one of them seems to have active geysers.
Can we go back for a better look?

Watched Flashbacks of a fool, a strange Daniel Craig vehicle from 2008 media.sully.site/flashbacks-of sort of liked it, but wished it was better.

And another point about consent made by @dentangle when apps ask you for access to your address book, don't give it.

You can't consent on your contacts behalf to give information to Facebook to help them build shadow profiles. Well you can upload, but your contacts didn't explicitly consent.

Putting the snow shovel back in the garage. Am I tempting fate? The winter was non existent really but the weather has been weird.

OOCL Hamburg leaving Southampton, passing Town Quay. Heading back east to somewhere like Hong Kong or Shenzen, Via Rotterdam (usually)

I'm not changing any of my plans until I hear what the toad wants

The same bike at 20000 miles, on a full frame camera, wide at 20mm. Yes it's dirty, but it gets used every day and at the time lived outside. The exhaust is a bit antisocial but it weighs, like, nothing which is why I fitted it. It also required a new fuel map and more money fml

Sunset (at about 5pm😭) After my last commute home before putting the bike to bed for Winter. There was a nice sunset behind so I grabbed my camera an left the bike on for this photo.

My little Kawasaki on a trip out to the Kiski river (behind in this photo). It was July, and the last trip before an extensive service which took me forever to accomplish.

Ocean Village, Southampton, about 1030 pm on a Summer night. This a stacked exposure run through CS3's HDR tool to bring out a bit more range. I remember grabbing a pint at the bar behind me after this...

This is later, in the 'blue hour', the sun has gone down and there's not much light left. Luminance rendered this one a bit less naturally but it still captures the vibe I wanted.

Again the same spot, but I borrowed my dad's tripod and did some stacked exposures which I then ran through Luminance, a FOSS tone mapper to get a fuller dynamic range in the image. I like the effect and It still looks natural. This is sunset, hence the lighting on the mountain (Veleta is the name)

This was from the same spot, but back in November 2007, with a Canon 300D which was my first DSLR. The kit lens did really well on that camera.

He doesn't get clear of the bike, which remains a big danger in bike racing. A similar accident injured a good friend of mine at a track day. She was in hospital for six weeks with a badly broken shoulder and upper arm. Had the bike landed a little further, it would have killed her.

Pol Espergaro probably out for the whole weekend after this nasty drop in free practice.
