On Saturday it tipped with rain all day. On Sunday there was brilliant 
sunshine. This can mean only one thing: EPIC PHOTO OP!

In my humble opinion, this is probably the greatest photograph I've ever 
taken in my life.

I've scaled it down so it will actually fit as an attachment, but I 
gotta tell yah, the original 24 megapixel image is something to behold. 
I may have to get this physically printed and put on my wall somewhere...

Ah, if only FlipC could see me now!

Excellent! It is a great feeling when you start to zoom in on it for the 
first time and it just stays perfectly crisp and sharp until you see the 
pixels. Very good candidate for a big poster.

Just wait until he settles down and has kids; then he'll learn the
meaning of the word 'economising'. :-D

Is this like that thing with smoking? You know, where they work out that 
over the course of a year, if you quit smoking you could afford a 
Ferrari... and yet, none of the non-smokers actually *have* one.

Kind of like how no matter what PC you have, rendering a nice image 
still takes *exactly* the same time?
