(UPDATE as of September 26th, 2019 : I'm having troubles with Flickr displaying my photos in low quality since today. My photos were uploaded in 1000x667 resolution until now and they were always displayed with the quality I intended them to have. It's not the case anymore, and the only way I have found to solve this problem is to upload larger files : you can now enjoy the new photos I'll upload in 3000x2000 resolution. For the personal use I have of my albums it's not what will be the best, but seeing the quality of my shots dropping this low was a shame!)

DESCRIZIONE: la nebulosa Rosetta, data la sua caratteristica morfologia, è una delle nebulose più note del cielo invernale situata pochi gradi angolari ad est della nota costellazione di Orione. Le venature oscure che si osservano nella sua zona nord-occidentale sono costellate dai cosiddetti “globuli di Bok”, cioè zone gassose ad alta densità all’interno delle quali si stanno o si sono appena formate nuove giovani stelle. Anche sotto cieli molto limpidi e scuri, purtroppo, non è facilmente visibile data la sua ampiezza che ne diminuisce la luminosità superficiale. Tuttavia, in fotografia, già con lunghezze focali a partire dai 250-300 mm si rende ben visibile con poche decine di minuti di esposizione rivelando la sua tipica forma e caratteristica colorazione rosso-arancione dovuta alle immense quantità di idrogeno di cui è composta e che viene ionizzato dalla fortissima emissione radioattiva di quel centinaio circa di giovanissime stelle bianche e azzurre dell’ammasso aperto NGC 2244 che comodamente alberga fin dalla propria nascita nella sua quasi perfettamente tondeggiante cavità centrale.

Last spring and early summer the robins built a nest on top of this A/C unit. We had to do something to stop them since we needed to use the unit and I didn't want to harm the babies so Craig, our Handyman put a screen above the unit and now there isn't enough room for any bird to get in there. We have these screens on the other A/C units so this was the last one. I'm happy!
The dark nebula LDN 673 is a massive molecular cloud complex about 7 light years across in the constellation Aquila and lies some 600 light years away. Mixed in with the dark cloud is a very rich star field, some of which are formed within these clouds.

No more pinholes but this developer is really black in the shadows. Agitation is every 15 sec. Might try once every minute next time to reduce the contrast.

I seem to have solved the ridle as to how short the skirt can actually get. The way I now do it, I would in theory be able to run around just in G-string without even I would be able to tell (what you know very well). If you look very close at the ”rear end” photo, you can even tell the slight shape of the panties I am wearing beneath and I might add, that both skirt AND the panties are paper thin... now HOW COOL IS THAT!
One could be tempted to change the famous saying ”Shake that ass!” Into... ”MAKE that ass!” ;o)
Of cause I could not find it in my heart to rob you the ”live” view of such a short skirt, as studies have found it to be a sight most rarely seen, in the public light of day (that is).
The best should allways saved for last, as well is the clip ;o)
I was going to ask whether anyone could hazard a guess as to what this was. Registration number obscured, so nothing to go on. Incidentally, obscured by what? They look like the translucent skylight roof panels from a coach. A little plaque on the front of the vehicle says "COLDITZ". I can't imagine why. Perhaps I should write Colditz, for the inspiration was probably the popular contemporary BBC telly-drama ...and, believe me, if you've read P. R. Reid's books you'll know that the BBC's version was pure drama. By the way, from a calligraphic point of view, all-capital Black Letter script is to be avoided.
This looked the sort of photo I'd have chucked out at the Brislington council refuse disposal centre ("recycling" had not yet been invented) in my great "goodbye to all that" moment of 1982. But I thought I'd check to make sure. Stone me! There it was, the original John Fozard print, still filed away in its Manilla envelope. So. I am happy to be able to give the details. The bus was 291 GKK, an AEC Reliance 2MU3RV with Weymann dual-purpose, 40-seat body, new to Maidstone & District in 1960. I photographed it on Monday 17th April 1978 in Ladvale's Berkeley garage. Ladvale had acquired it from P. D. & A. C. Stump of Berkeley ...whose premises these must have been.
As discussed somewhere in this very long comment thread, the drinking of cocktails has been and will continue to be off-limits to me for a little while.
To work around this problem, and because the doctor and nurses specifically said I shouldn't "drink" alcohol during this period, I figured it shouldn't be too problematic if I simply infused cocktails directly into my bloodstream.
As seen in this photo, using a shot glass full of Meyer's Dark Rum (You can use any alcohol you like. I use rum 'cause it's the "in" thing to ingest here in the islands.), I simply dip a replaceable in-line fuel filter, that I would normally use on MiniPup, into a shot glass filled with rum.
I let the fuel filter soak up as much of the alcohol as possible, then insert the filter between the doctor prescribed drug (Zosyn) and the portal of my previously installed catheter (PIC Line).
I just finished my 8:30am infusion and am feeling much better than I was earlier this morning, after my 2:30am infusion.
My past engineering experience really came in handy here.
Here's a larger version.
