Photo-a-Day  (Friday, 3rd December, 2021)

Nice pic Mick, what a beautiful place the world looks from a distance , then you look closer and see 'ooman beans ' fighting wars with each other, sucking all the resources out of it , and testing nukes left right and centre, polluting their own countries. The sooner we are all 'Terminators' the better...................It's being so happy that keeps me going. :-)

Wonder how much that cost ?
Interesting pic Mick.

Reminds me of ' Rover ' , the inflatable surveillance ball that pursued Number 6 in The Prisoner .
Be seeing you.

I don't like that at, all. I find it creepy. That is not a slur on the photograph, just the subject.

It's a bit high-brow for the likes of Leigh.

Good photo Mick , just mind boggling when you read the statistics .

Our house is at the top behind some clouds

I saw them setting up yesterday for its stint in Salford Docks, outside Media City - and it was on the BBC North West weather slot with our Owain later in the evening. Its time at Pennington was cut short by Storm Arwen, I believe.

Yes it is now in Salford due to the storm.George who do you think you are ,Brian Cox or Patrick Moore?

What a wonderful series that was/is Poet .
So so clever . Just as relevant today if not more so . When you look at the previous president of the US , Putin , the Chinese and North Korean leaders , the power of the media bosses etc etc it makes you wonder who is running what and who. Not forgetting the KGB , MI 6 , CIA , Mafia bosses all over world . Maybe David Icke is onto something . Sorry for going sideways Mick . Thank you for posting .

I like Owain the weather man and I also Emmanuelle Lhoni

Rainh, you forgot to mention the daft folk who believed in all this nonsense, and who now bred and now have even dafter kids.

I agree entirely Sid but one of my dearest friends in Wigan , highly gifted , always talks about ‘going with the flow’ he just accepts as true . The dafter kids Sid have now got mobile phones so word travels faster .
Have you seen how fast they can move their hands and fingered texting a message . Social media is taking them to a different planet to what we had .

Where is Veronica? She hasn't commented for two days. Are you okay, Dolly, dear? xx

Nice photo but totally miises the point of it being "The Floating Earth".

Jembo. What, exactly, IS the point?

I saw ut with owain in the docks he liked it. I went to Wigan today first time in weeks my phone was taken when I phoned it they swiched it off.Phoned ee and it is now blocked I dont care about phone just pictures on it my late husband ect cant be replaced .I wont be going to Wigan for a long time they can have phone just want sim card

James, the point is that it's called "The Floating Earth". It appears to be floating on the water. Just like it is now at Salford Quays.

Annemarie, if it's an iPhone then you may have your photos stored in an iCloud backup that can be restored to a new phone.

Annemarie - So sorry that by stealing your phone, this callous person has also stolen precious photos of your late husband, which were much more valuable than the phone itself. I hope you manage to retrieve them, as suggested by Jembo. I don't really understand the technological side of things, but best wishes to you.

Thankyou both for your kind words and I will ask my son to look into it.I wish you both well and hope you have a lovely Christmas

You are in my thoughts annemarie.A couple of yes ago I had my purse stolen, out of my bag, in the card shop on Standishgate near Christmas time.There was a small photo in it of me and my late husband, when we were teenagers.So I can empathise with you.That photo was precious to me.xx

Thankyou Edna for your kind words. Pictures are so important they take you back when you look ar them.Take care
