Artist, cat lover, lurker, occasional post. Terrible tangler. Love Astronomy, Earthquakes, Volcanos, and weird mathematics. I saw Sputnik when it was the only satellite in the sky. My first never-forget moment was Kennedy's assassination.

Parks and Rec isn't a hill to die on, but one thing it gets right is this whole government thing rests on the shoulders of people you will never know, caring a lot about jobs you've never heard of, fighting challenges thrown at them from every angle just to make life a little better for everyone.

Sometimes my favourite images are the oddest ones. I just love this - I see fish (puffer and smelt, perhaps?).

When I arrived at Jökulsárlón on Sunday afternoon it was covered in fog - never seen it like that before (plenty of misty rain before, but not sea fog). The icebergs looked very ethereal when it cleared enough to see them.

Just watched "A Box of Dynamite". Wow. The nuclear scenario takes part in 4 overlapping episodes which just ratchet up the tension (make sure to watch ALL the credits). I'd say, anybody who didn't see "The Day After" (1983) or "Threads" or "Failsafe" after the age of 10 should watch this.
