h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

FWR:

Another one by Sasha that ruins the flying rat image! Beautifully graceful birds, and this viewpoint is fantastic. Lovely tones and detail too.

DG:

I love the angle on this.

"Oh, God, I have to poop, and I'm not over anyone's freshly washed car.

How do you get such a clear shot? None of the motion is blurry! The wings, the ripples. Fast shutter speed I guess. Lovely!

I look up in the sky and I see gulls.

Thanks everyone!

Yes, it was a fast shutter speed - I was looking out of the window on the top floor of A87830049 and it was a bright sunny day. Not all the photos I took came out so well, but I was very pleased with this one

Amazing looking building! The Museum of Liverpool!

Ah, so it was a fast shutter speed. Its great isn't it when you take a roll of photos and one comes out so well it doesn't matter that the rest don't satisfy.

Yes, that’s the joy of digital cameras for me, that I can take many photos without having to worry about cost - the bad ones can be deleted and some of them turn out well

Yes! Its amazing isn't it!

When photos are deleted on a digital camera, where do they go? Like, do pixels just disappear?

or

Ah yes. Now is the time of reckoning, little pixel.

I think most pixels get recycled, but not all of them

Phreddy???? My old h2g2 friend, the Phred Firecloud himself!!!!! How wonderful to hear from you!

Let me introduce you to all these fine people.

Fine people, this is Phred Firecloud. He was around here for years, and he and his wife have traversed America about four? times in an RV.

If you want to say hullo in my journal, its Daydream Journal. I'm still cactuscafe. I still go on and on, talking about nothing and everything. I leave the site sometimes for months on end, but often slink back because hey, where else is there to slink to? Eh? heheh.

Hi, Phred! (Waves) I've heard a lot about you. Thanks for dropping by!

We crossed conversational paths in another life...

only virtual ours of the U.S.A. (or anywhere else) for now, though, right?

*waves to Phred*

Phred, Paulh comes from your fair country. Boston, to be precise!

I had the good fortune to meet both Sasha and Paulh at the h2g2 meet in London, last year!

I travelled up with my friend minorvogonpoet.

Twas a fine gathering.

The u.S. is huge, with many different climates, both natural and human. Also some unnatural and inhuman ones. Right now, I am enjoying the fact that daffodils love to rise up form the earth after a cold winter, and rose bushes send out lots of leaves. I think that my Lollipop Lilies are starting to come up as well.

Last Fall I planted eight irises. During the Winter, our local plow service appeared to run over them, ruining them.

But nw I realize that I was mistaken about where they were. Sure neough, seven of them are coming up, so all is good.
