Poster describing the 'Downfall of the Dictators is Assured'. From Imperial War Musuem collection.
I know I've posted this before but I fucking love this poster.
Need to get a print framed and put up on the wall.
Oh hey that's Nightwish's Imaginaerum they're playing!

In southern Greenland 🇬🇱 lies Narsarsuaq - a community built around its airport.
That airport is now facing closure.
Tomorrow, it shuts down - effectively delivering a death sentence to the town.

One of the many, many steps between Type 42 and Type 45 was the Future Frigate, a brief period between NFR-90 and CNGF.

something that wrinkles my brain every time I remember it is the fact that total eclipses are only possible on earth because the moon and sun appear to be the same size in our sky, due to the insanely, astronomically unlikely fluke that the moon is 400x smaller than the sun but 400x closer to us.

ISO 51,200 is not a territory I would ever go into on account of the noise (which one can see if viewing the image at 1:1), and using f/4 rather than the lens's max of f/2.8 is an interesting choice (I wouldn't expect much difference in sharpness or DoF at such distance, and would allow lower ISO).
For the fellow photography nerds who want to know what the camera settings were to take this rather demanding shot: (thank you NASA for not scrubbing it! and caveats that this does not speak to any postprocessing or multiexposure combinations)
but Red Alert 2 taught me that one SEAL can destroy an entire enemy base and defeat any number of conventional enemy infantry single-handedly!
