    I genuinely didn't know the word "swannery" existed. I suppose it's kind of obviously necessary, perfect word though, when you think about it.

    😀

    PMSL - I see you're on autopirate again this year.

    😆

    'tis true. I trust that it meets with your approval, Captain :mrgreen:

    Also PMSL 😆 !

    J and I visited the swannery as well this year - a fantastic place - must remember to post a few photos of that visit on the blog. The bouncing bomb was a bit of a turn up - wasn't expecting that - seemed so out of place in such a peaceful setting.

    I've finally sprung for the money to get a replacement monitor for the ancient steam powered thing that we had, which basically had one setting - "not quite pitch black but almost".

    Your photies look even more impressive now that I've let a bit of light in!

    :mrgreen:

    @Scott - Excellent! Does this mean that you've gone all widescreen?

  7. Scott says:

    Indeed! Just a wee widescreen, but a widescreen nonetheless.

    I'm finding the whole experience very elongating.

  8. BG! says:

    Does this mean that I can now go back and edit all my pics to the intended 800px wide?

    I'm maybe just saying this because of MY NEW MONITOR, but that astronomy picture of the day is a remarkably...I don't know, biblical epic sort of image. Traffic stopping photie altogether.
