Found next to the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art. Don't go see the current exhibition if you've ever lived in a share house in Australia -- nothing you haven't seen before. I wasn't game to ask if we were missing something, but James had no trouble asking the woman at the front counter "Is that it? Is there another room somewhere?" We had a good laugh, but I think I enjoyed the pixel art on the wall more.

This one is a true space dog :)
We picked him up from dog shelter near Zagreb, in a very severe condition, half a year ago :) He had some strange disease, and high temperature for almost 2 weeks , but we didn't give up on him :)
He is now one happy terrorist dog :) who loves to bark, chew stuff and do everything his family does (sit on a chair, sit by the table during lunch, eat veggies, mushrooms, carrots, watermelons..) he obviously loves his people friends :)
Sitting on top of the Orbiter Transport System (OTS), Atlantis awaits the 9.8 mile trip to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex where she will go on permanent display. Tomorrow will mark the first time since 1979 an orbiter has not called KSC home.
Bah, Rookie photo will come tomorrow I promise. As I said, with my current work it's hard trying to fit him somewhere in my day. I'm also trying to limit myself to at least 2 photos a day.
3 exposure HDR, +/-2EV. Tonemapped in Photomatix.
I tried to make this look as surreal as possible, this is a view looking up to the top of the building, and at night it almost looks strange from the right angles!

Another view of the nose. At the very tip of the nose, the tiles didn't offer enough protection from the heat. Instead, a nosecap was made from a composite called carbon-carbon.
Cassini offers this lovely, crisp view of Saturn, which shows detail in
the planet's banded atmosphere, as well as the delicate ring system.
The image has been rotated so that north on Saturn is up; the Sun
illuminates Saturn from below. Saturn's tilt throws ghostly shadows of
the rings onto the northern hemisphere during the current season.
The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft wide angle camera on Jan.
23, 2005, at a distance of approximately 2.8 million kilometers (1.7
million miles) from Saturn through a filter sensitive to wavelengths of
infrared light centered at 728 nanometers. The image scale is 166
kilometers (103 miles) per pixel.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the
European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion
Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in
Pasadena, manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate,
Washington, D.C. The Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were
designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The imaging team is based at
the Space Science Institute, Boulder, Colo.

I'm like obsessed with the skin that always shows between the top of your pants and the bottom of your shirt.

Click on image for larger annotated versionA propeller-shaped structure created by an unseen moon is brightly illuminated on the sunlit side of Saturn's rings in this image obtained by NASA's Cassini spacecraft.The moon, which is too small to be seen, is at the center of the propeller structure visible in the upper left of the image, near the Encke Gap of the A ring (marked with a red arrow in the annotated version). The A ring is the outermost of Saturn's main rings.The moon is likely about a kilometer (half a mile) across. Disturbed ring material to the upper left and lower right of the moon reflects sunlight brightly and appears like a white airplane propeller. Several density waves are also visible in the ring. A spiral density wave is a spiral-shaped accumulation of particles that tightly winds many times around the planet. It is the result of gravitational tugs by individual moons whose orbits are in resonance with the particles' orbits at a specific distance from Saturn.A propeller's appearance changes with viewing geometry, and this image shows the way a propeller looks when viewed from the sunlit side of the rings. Contrasts can reverse when the structure is observed on the dark side of the rings: for example, the bright structure of this propeller corresponds to the dark portion at the center of the propeller seen in PIA12791 which was imaged from the unilluminated side of the rings.This image is part of a growing catalogue of "propeller" moons that, despite being too small to be seen, enhance their visibility by creating larger disturbances in the surrounding fabric of Saturn's rings. Cassini scientists now have tracked several of these individual propeller moons embedded in Saturn's disk over several years. These images are important because they represent the first time scientists have been able to track the orbits of objects in space that are embedded in a disk of material. Continued monitoring of these objects may lead to direct observations of the interaction between a disk of material and embedded moons. Such interactions help scientists understand fundamental principles of how solar systems formed from disks of matter. Indeed, Cassini scientists have seen changes in the orbits of these moons, although they don't yet know exactly what causes these changes. Imaging scientists nicknamed the propeller shown here "Earhart" after the early American aviatrix Amelia Earhart. The propeller structure is 5 kilometers (3 miles) in the radial dimension (the dimension moving outward from Saturn which is far out of frame to the lower right of this image). It is 60 kilometers (35 miles) in the azimuthal (longitudinal) dimension.This same propeller can be seen casting a shadow around the time of the planet's equinox in PIA11672. See PIA07791 and PIA07792 to learn more about propeller shapes and to see smaller propellers.Scale in the original image was 2 kilometers (1 mile) per pixel. The image has been rotated and contrast-enhanced to aid visibility. The cropped inset of the propeller included here was magnified by a factor of four.This view looks toward the southern, sunlit side of the rings from about 81 degrees below the ring plane. The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on April 11, 2008. The view was obtained at a distance of approximately 364,000 kilometers (226,000 miles) from Saturn and at a sun-Saturn-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 82 degrees.The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency.
