The "Defiant Finger" Carina Nebula

From the town of Bury, and apparently they changed it, but I think they should have kept it as such!

Maybe not very well, because I couldn't find a video and suggestion that the back and/or the track slid a bit doesn't compute.

I'm still waiting for a good movie poster or historical image for #Dumbkirk, but this made me LOL.



*hope all those boaters ended up safe ... though as a canoeist who's been rocked by motorboaters going above posted speed limits, seeing video of one going down and no one wearing life jackets* , my sympathy metre wasn't high.

(* with normal traffic, those waves don't look bad ... but those conditions created by huge wakes... everyone get your jackets on!)

There's a helicopter in this picture


(Just to the left of the snow leopard)

Find the shadow on the cliff and the copter becomes easy to see

I found the snow leopard but no copter

If they could train a snow leopard to fly a stealth bomber you’d have the perfect weapon.

Almost dead centre, flying right to left. Looks like an Apache, but have never seen one painted camo. Google suggests Israel paints them, though.

It looks (now I can see it) like a Rooivalk. Note the air intakes:

Well spotted! I see, now, that the canopy area rises at a greater angle than on the Apache.

Just in time for the Christmas gag gift ...
