Le pont du Gard est un pont-aqueduc romain à trois niveaux, situé à Vers-Pont-du-Gard entre Uzès et Nîmes, dans le département du Gard (France). Il enjambe le Gardon, ou Gard. Probablement bâti dans la première moitié du ier siècle, il assurait la continuité de l'aqueduc romain qui conduisait l’eau d’Uzès à Nîmes. D'après les dernières recherches, il aurait cessé d'être utilisé au début du vie siècle.

NOTE
1. The marked star in the geometric centre at Mag 19.8 is the probable source of the nebula.
2. The Soap Bubble Nebula, or PN G75.5+1.7, is a planetary nebula in the constellation Cygnus, near the Crescent Nebula (NGC 6888). It was discovered by amateur astronomer Dave Jurasevich using an Astro-Physics 160 mm refractor telescope with which he imaged the nebula on June 19, 2007 and on July 6, 2008. The nebula was later independently noted and reported to the International Astronomical Union by Keith B. Quattrocchi and Mel Helm who imaged PN G75.5+1.7 on July 17, 2008. The nebula measures 260″ in angular diameter with a central star that has a J band magnitude of 19.45.

2781 rests at the west end of Wyoming yard after arriving on Q335 from Toledo. Built in 1978 as Conrail #8205, it joined the CSX roster after the 1999 Conrail split. 2781 was recently equipped with RCO equipment (as evidenced by the added antennas and strobe lights) from a retired RC platform as part of CSX's recent push to retire all of the remaining RC platforms and drones, equipping more powered locomotives instead.

Sorry for the pic. Still didn't get my camera back.:(
Anyway I've found today this sweet little doll in a Romanian supermarket. The inscription on the box is in Romanian but she is made in China by RCO Dolls. Never seen her before and she's soooo cute! There were also some great playsets with a cute bathroom, kitchen and baby. So lovely!I'm planning on getting them all as they are really cheap.

Upmarket extra power version of the standard Austin 1300. The engine was tuned to the same as the MG1300 at 70bhp giving a top speed in the region of 95mph. Also better instrumentation and trim than the standard car

The Horsehead Nebula or Barnard 33 is a diffuse dark nebula located in the constellation Orion. It is about 1500 light-years away from us and is probably one of the most identifiable nebulae as it appears to look like a horse’s head. Its shape is simply the result of dust obscuring a direct line of sight to the bright red emission nebula IC 434.
The bright area in the left of the image originates from light spilling over into the frame from the very bright star Alnitak.
The image was captured on the 27th and 28th of December 2014 from the suburbs of Melbourne Australia. Equipment used RCOS 10” Telescope / STL-11000 CCD / Baader Ha Filter / Astro-Physics AP-900 Mount. Stacking and calibration in CCDStack, and image processing in Photoshop CS 6.
