Random Photo Thread (not Bikes)

Took this across my back paddocks this morning....spring’s on its way!

 

Saw this in the Telegraph news paper.

A ship apparently hovers above the surface of the sea off the Cornish coast, in an optical illusion caused by layers of cold and warm air creating a false reflective effect. The Met Office said: “The image is evidence of a fata morgana, a rare and complex form of mirage.”

You can say that again

 

He said it was interesting, he's never heard of that.

Disused planes parked up at Kemble airfield...

 

Very cool photo, @stinger! It brought to mind the "Boneyard" at Tucson's Davis Monthan Air Force Base which is about 10 miles or so from my house. Currently it is the largest aircraft boneyard in the world.

Here's a great aerial photo of it. No, this photo was not taken by me as I don't have a drone. Yet. But I know that many forum members have an interest in military things so thought I'd post this photo along with a link to read about the history of the David Monthan Air Force Boneyard for those who might find it interesting.

Took these on our beach walk at the weekend.
So, why post this photo? nothing special..........

It's a 100 year old cart from the tin mining days down here in Cornwall - but it never went anywhere near a mine.
If you want to know a little more / fancy a history lesson - then have a look here.

 

Brilliant!

 

I read the story very interesting

 

Dog woke me up to go out very early this morning, which I guess is better than cleaning up a mess, but I'm glad she did. I would have missed this.

Sailors take warning...

 

Round my way it was Iron Ore some we have red mud and streams. Many of the miners same from Cornwall because of the tin mining experience. A few years ago one of only two roads into my village was closed due to a mine collapse. You could look in the hole and see wagon rails underground.
One of the village farmers had a very lucky escape a few weeks ago!
