Thread Of Positive Awesomeness

It is - I have seen little aircraft take off whilst at sea, a little off the coast there.

 

At the time we saw those aircraft we were heading for this place:



This is St. Kilda, forty miles West of the Hebrides in the Atlantic.

There used to be a pub run by the MOD, the most remote pub of Scotland, called "The Puff Inn".
I think that's closed now.

Awe inspiring place, St. Kilda.

Just North-East of it sits this: Stac Lee. The white you see on top is a combination of the 14.000 nesting Gannets and the guano they produce...

The Gannet's are also a local source of food for some, seen them catching them but as above link there is opposition to it

 

The St. Kildans survived on them, before their voluntary evacuation in 1930. I saw remnants of stone structures on the island that were used to wind-dry the "Guga".

 

This is a pretty cool video

that’s gotta confuse your like/dislike button press... a massive tool of war, but it’s covered in raw seamen!!!

 

My sister-in-law sent me these photos from her recent trip to the Black Hills in South Dakota. The photos were taken from inside her car.

 

I got a picture of this little one’s mum, but I don’t think she wanted me to.

 

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the moon...

 

it’s quiet and relaxing and if looking at fecking big moon representation sounds like your kinda thing, then I would happily recommend it

 

The dark side is better called the far side... (Queue Gary Larson) It gets plenty of sunlight... but it permanently faces away from the Earth, so we never had direct vision of it until we popped the atmosphere virginity.
This is... the far side

 

He’d have to ride a moon mountain bike to the top of Mons Huygens, that way he’d know the lunar cycle was at its peak!
