Astronomy Picture of the Day
It is not a picture today, but a time-lapse video, showing you “how to move a space shuttle across LA by road”. Watch out for the bit where the shuttle goes right past people’s bedroom windows.
Astronomy Picture of the Day
Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. I have it set as one of my browser home pages, so I do not miss the best pictures.

WordCamp UK 2012 – the journey home
We have a slight detour to our journey home – we are going to Lincoln via Manchester Airport to pick up Richard’s daughter.
So we cut across Scotland to the Lake District and the M6.
Here is where we stopped for a tea break.
But we had to move because of the midges – and here is Richard doing the midge dance.
We stopped off at Pooley Bridge in the Lakes for dinner.
And here is a plane landing at Manchester Airport.

WordPress Conference
I am in Scotland for the UK WordPress conference (details here on at Octagon Technology) – the programme starts at 9am and as we are going to use the Park and Ride into Edinburgh it is an early start to the day.
There will of course be an opportunity for some walking and photography whilst we are here.

Richard is just checking the programme – on the bus into the city.

I was just browsing WordPress.com and looking at an article explaining how you cannot take good photographs if you are over 40 – I paraphrase but that was the writers point of view, when I came across this article by Naomi Wolf – How I Was Arrested at Occupy Wall Street.
It is worth a read.
