Unreal

I was watching a Star Trek movie (I mean picture) at the weekend. It concerned a race of people gifted with immortality on a planet in the alpha quadrant. Their youthful appearance was due entirely to the presence of Metaphasic Radiation which was being modulated by the planet's rings.

I thought about this for a while and then I suddenly realised: There is no such thing as Metaphasic Radiation. This means that the whole movie was just a made up story. 

This was all just a waste of my time, so I stopped watching it immediately and went out to mow the lawn.





So: Exactly how many other Star Trek movies turn out to be just made up stories eh?

Dismal dark depressing dull damp disappointing December. Hmm. Lets remind ourselves of summer when there were shadows in pictures. Lets concentrate on where the light isn't: Sometimes its the shadows that define a picture. Here are some of hard light examples from the Mediterranean, and each one will have needed some exposure compensation. The first images hints at a sunny day. This one gives you the evidence: A clear blue sky glimpsed between shadows. This third image, also from the much rebuilt and restored fort at Paphos , allows us to see more of the building. A pleasing succession of arches and the reward is the sunshine at the end And finally one last shadow picture: One for Arthur C Clark: The Monolith in Newbury Kennet Centre car park. Its been there for 4.2 Billion years. No one knows what it does.
