Valentine

January 30, 2012

My girlfriend is always making cupcakes, today they were Valentine themed. Unfortunately I am unable to eat them (..which seems unfair), but our house certainly smell delicious.

Fifth shot from a forthcoming set where I go about tagging some of the things I like the most. In no particular order of preference the fourth item is something I don’t seem to do very often but am always reminded how much I enjoy them when I do – board games.  Something of a Christmas tradition, we’ll sit around and play as a family and in the case of Monopoly are usually barely speaking to one another by the end.

Fourth shot from a forthcoming set where I go about tagging some of the things I like the most. In no particular order of preference the fourth item is easy – books. Because as Richard Steele said “Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body”.

Third shot from a forthcoming set where I go about tagging some of the things I like the most. In no particular order of preference the third item is something I couldn’t possibly ignore – Diet Coke. Have you noticed that it always seems to taste better from a glass bottle? I have no idea why.

Most Amazing High Definition Image of Earth – Blue Marble 2012

January 26, 2012

I am a sucker for beautiful space photography so you can imagine I how delighted I was to discover that NASA has recently released an updated high-res version of the famous Blue Marble photograph for 2012.

This is certainly not the first time that NASA has updated the 1972 photograph but the Blue Marble 2012 photograph taken using the VIRS instrument aboard NASA’s most recently launched Earth-observing satellite – Suomi NPP is being called the ‘most amazing high definition image of Earth’ by the space agency.

Blue Marble 2012 is a beautiful composite image using a number of swaths of the Earth’s surface taken on January 4, 2012.  NASA has made this photograph available via their Flickr account where a super high resolution 8000×8000 pixel image can be downloaded – that’s my new desktop wallpaper sorted!  Fascinating.

Second shot from a forthcoming set where I go about tagging some of the things I like the most. In no particular order of preference the second item is perhaps somewhat inevitable – photography. Photography allows you to appreciate the beauty in things that other people simply fail to notice.

The day has eyes, the night has ears

A shot of Bournemouth town centre after dark.  The large balloon is the Bournemouth Eye, which is a helium balloon that can carry up to 30 passengers and despite having lived locally all of my life I have never actually been on it. Taken in Bournemouth, Dorset, UK.
