Couple of pics of the veggies growing in our garden. First year giving it a go & if successful I'll be extending the veg plot from the 10x5 it is now to about 25x10 & we'll be replacing the plastic greenhouse with a glass/polycarb one.

The quality of some of the pictures on here has been simply fantastic.

What you are sharing is a window in time of your life. We get the pleasure of gazing on the very image your eye was fixated on for just a brief period.

Sorry to come across all deep and all, I just love when people connect and share their moments.

---------- Post added at 00:24 ---------- Previous post was at 00:16 ----------

I snapped this 2 nights ago during an incredibly heavy rain storm. A drain cover had been blown clean off due to the ferocity of the of the water flowing through the drainage system. The picture doesn't fully capture the drama of the moment. The noise and the power of the water blasting up through the hole in the road was impressive.

Went for a ride on my bike this morning and decided to follow the Manchester ship canal to the viaduct that carries the M6 over the canal. I found someone had gone out of there way to paint this on one of the bridge supports. See the photos attached.

Great panorama Cobby. I discovered ICE earlier this year and just can't believe how simple to use and effective it is, especially being a free offering from M$!

I did the same. I found it fascinating seeing all the maps and kept clicking on different vessels to see what they were carrying and what their itineraries were. I lost a good hour before I remembered why I had gone to the link in the first place. :D

Yeah the worrying thing was that there were no doors to get out if someone came towards you. Only doors inwards from the car tunnel on the other side.
Believe me it was a long tunnel and I walked pretty quickly after taking that photo.

No Jo, it was in a local eclectic furniture/arts & crafts store. It's actually situated in an old roller skating rink my wife used to frequent as a child!

I think they must have bought it while they were over there.

One I took today. The chopper looked like it was coming straight at me while wobbling side to side and was only about 40 foot above me when it went over and landed about 120 foot away. Thought it was in trouble at first. Turns out they were responding to an incident. Made the walk in the park more interesting.

Took this snap whilst visiting the Scottish National museum in Edinburgh. Would recommend it to anyone who visits the Scottish capital. The building itself is a pleasure.

Great photo chad, brings back memories of my youth when myself and pals used to patrol round and round these balconies on a Sunday afternoon talent spotting. ;)
