    Really interesting thread - thanks for starting it off psyberyeti.

    Raven, the photo of the orange digger is fantastic. The lighting and composition with the double rainbow make it something special.

    Thanks Lizz & astroman! Sure the pic is enhanced, but the light, rainbows and the sky is real. I only had to clone half of Thurso of the shot as the digger was standing on the ruggby pitch. No time for great composition as the light was going quickly...

    I'm enjoying these pictures too; has anyone got a close-up image of the beautiful mosses that grow on the flagstones that are used to mark boundaries of fields? They come in wonderful colours, shapes and textures.....

    Smile Double whammy boring photos

    Ok, it's obvious that these are not my photos, but they are postcards in my collection.

    These are probably the most boring pictures in the whole collection - I would like to see anybody go more boring than this (although the video of a "1920's radiator valve" on YouTube is pretty close).

    So here they are;

    and



    Now I must away for my cardi, slippers and coaco and look for some photos of a torrid session - ooppppss - no, I mean a 'torroidal section' (older bloke photos).

    Brilliant those Psyberyeti, it links me with my thread on old cars.
    I would guess the second one about mid sixties and I know where it is

    You know you have got the midlife crisis when you buy yourself a shiny cabriolet!!



    You know you have got it really bad when you feel the need to put a shaggy old carpet in :-)))



    Spotted on the famous Maximilian Strasse in Augsburg

    Yep I did! It has got a beautiful german equivalent on too. To be honest, I wouldnt mind the Jag, even with the carpet

    Well, for the postcards, they are so bad that they almost seem good

    Surely this photo must be bad enough to qualify here? I just wonder what "Mushroom - Pin - Tumblers" are :-))

    Smile .... and when you go back to motorcycling after 20 years....

    This was one of midlife crisis phases...

    ...but I sold it last year as the 'mind-altering-sheep' on these roads out west just made it too dangerous to keep risking my neck every day.

    Smile Extremely interesting

    Some of the segments of coils (used to confine the beam) ready to go into intp JET way back in 1984. [I had one of those horrible Kodak point and shoot cameras that was about half the size of a house brick.]

    This really big kit for boys to play with.

    Blyme Psyber, this wild combo does not look like they would cater for a clientel that wears cardis, corduroy slippers and sips cocoa!!! Do they fall into the category "Krautrock" then?

    Fesch, fesch! Shall we call you Psyberrocket now??

    I notice Tugmistress is slow to put up a pic of her on her motorbike in this 'mid-life crisis' thread.

    Anyone spotted the 'Easy Rider' going around Thurso yet?

    OK, couldn't resist this line of thought. Take an ultra boring shot such as this . . . . . .



    And turn it into this!! (slightly less boring I hope!!) - 3D model of proposed house.

    All the world's a stage and we are merely players . . . . .

    Don't know about that but this is definitely 'Scotrock'
