Rec of the day
So late already... uh, a quick rec, yes, I got something:
What does it feel like to fly over planet Earth?
A time-lapse video taken from the ISS, showing the Earth at night. It's really fascinating.
We went on a day trip today to an old ship lift which was turned into an industrial museum. It was pretty amazing. Unlike in a normal lock they lifted the ships including the water around them in a big tub... like a huge hydraulic elevator. I brought my camera but I couldn't get a decent shot of the entire structure so I'm linking: View from the lower level, view from the upper level.
Here's one of mine, a shot into one of the 100-foot holes that were part of the hydraulics system used to lift the tub above.
(This site has more pictures.)
The main reason for our trip was to visit an exhibition of international pop-up books featuring ships, and it was really good too... my photos, not so much. Well, this one turned out okay:
I want to do one of these sometime! :) Not this complicated of course, I'll start smaller.
