Evan: I would like some more information if you can provide it, that would be great, thanks.

jrk: it looks like but it was quite a weak Cyclone (it was still the largest the area had seen since the 1960's). I managed to sleep through the worst of it as well!

Lemur from the time when I was in Madagascar...

nice lemurs

Nonskimmer · 09-11-2005, 06:07 PM

Interesting creatures, they are. Like a cross between a monkey and a raccoon. Nice pics.

Pisis · 09-11-2005, 06:20 PM

the nature is fantastic! seeing this, I simply cannot belive that we live only by an accident...

Gnomey · 09-24-2005, 10:39 AM

Some more from Leuchars.

Gnomey · 09-24-2005, 10:46 AM

P-51 "Old Crow"

Feel free to take some if you wish.

Nonskimmer · 09-24-2005, 10:54 AM

Outstanding pics, Gnomey!

Could you please make them just a bit smaller from now on though? It's just that they're...well...huge!

Gnomey · 09-24-2005, 10:57 AM

I know they are huge (2048*1536), I just haven't got around to resizing the all yet (there are too many)

Smaller version can be found here: http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/hno...r=4cdc&.src=ph. I will continue to upload the pictures here but they are all in that link if you wish to have a look before I upload them here.

Nice shots, Gnomey. I agree they are a bit large though.

Thanks!

Nonskimmer · 09-24-2005, 10:19 PM

And really big.

But really cool.

Couple of pics taken from the BBC News Website.

This image of a peppercorn and a grain of salt taken by David McCarthy is the overall winner (and close-up category winner) in this year's Visions of Science Photographic Awards. The competition is sponsored by Novartis and The Daily Telegraph. (©David McCarthy)

The surface tension of water supports a metal paperclip. By photographing it using a grille in front of the light source, the deformation of the water caused by the clip's weight can be seen. (©Robert Anderson )

Cancer cells can spread through the body in a process known as metastasis. This cancer cell is moving down a pore in a filter. The image was taken at Cancer Research UK, where the spread of cancer is studied in the hope of finding a cure. (©Anne Weston )
