Ian, how accurate did your 70 miles per degree rule prove? Tis average should have slightly overstated because of Newton’s equatorial bulge. “Measure the Earth” by Laurie Ferreiro (my holiday reading on a Vietnam trip) relates the early 18th century French expedition to Peru to resolve the cross channel debate between Newton’s theory of gravity and Pascalian followers who postulated an elongated earth and vortex-driven gravity. Newton won, until Einstein kicked on from E=mcsquared to his General Theory.

I was much grieved when my 2010 Canon G10 died; it had a 70% optical viewfinder which you learned to estimate the frame for. The replacement is slimmer but problematic in tropical sun.

Where’s Neptune?

A flightless bird with a serpentine head.

Open plan swift house.

Fingers crossed mate

Reminiscent of the old coal miner's song . . . "Sixteen tons and what do you get ?
Another day older and deeper in debt
I said St Peter don't you call me
'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store."

My word Ian ! It'd keep you fit !

That's a fair sized barge ! It'd hold a lot of sand in Vietnam !

I like that they have a supporting cable and sling the others below.

Bloody hell, that looks like hard work Wal !

Those potholes certainly grow well in the tropics Wal !

I'd like a sad emoji rather than a heart for these roadkill photos. Is that all coucals or just the lesser one?

Cora’s heaving a sigh of relief! 🤣🤣
