I have an idea for a new thread...

Just good sometimes to be reminded of the treasures right under our noses. Kirstenbosch, they rate as the no. 6 botanical garden in the world. Not bad at all, if you think that it is only just over a 100 years old. And you can now ride your bike through the top part of it, as part of the Constantia Neck to Rhodes Memorial route. Part of it is on really nice single track built specially for us by the Botanical Society.

It may be fake but its still a damn good photograph. Excellent actually. 

 

Unless it was done in a controlled environment, placing a toy on a Jelly and getting that kind of focus and clarity in an open ocean condition would have required the patience and nerve of Job!

I would be sooooooo nervous in there!

Honestly, the people at the SPCA have no sense of humour. Getting all sticky with all sorts of questions when one wants to adopt a turkey this time of the year.....????

I'd be equally nervous walking past it, wondering if there is some peeping Tom watching me...

Day 6:

 

A Caterpillar in the Carina Nebula. Scattered across the enormous Carina nebula are numerous dense clumps of cosmic gas and dust called Bok globules, including this one, which resembles a huge glowing caterpillar. First described by by astronomer Bart Bok, the globules are relatively small, dark, and cold regions made up of molecular hydrogen, carbon oxides, helium, and dust. The glowing edge of the caterpillar indicates that it is being photoionized by the hottest stars in the surrounding cluster. It has been hypothesized that stars may form inside these dusty cocoons.

love this type of stuff, but I would like to know how accurate that 'photo' is in terms of colour. Surely the images they get from Hubble , etc are in B & W?
