Probably a daft question, whats the reason for a club in the centre of that life preserver in picture 5 ?

is that not what keeps it on the wall, or is it a club, "to calm em down a bit" if they are drowning lol

Some more windows and doors today and a few pics which while loosely related to the theme were prompted by a BBC news article.

1 Beamish brewery, Cork
2 Christian Brothers school for poor children, Sullivan's Quay on the River Lee, Cork
3 Georgian window, Cork
4 Windows and doors, old warehouse, Liverpool
5 I was prompted to include the next shots by a BBC news article about the research station at Ny Alesund, Spitsbergen, Norway. I have posed some shots from here previously on this thread.
BBC News - So remote, it could pass for Mars
We stopped there while on a cruise in July 2010. This photo show Richard posing with a copy of our local mag which was running a holiday photos competition where you had to have a copy of the mag in the photo and prove where you had been. He was on the landing stage outside this building with the details on. We didn't win!
6 These are the lions outside the door of the Chinese building, as mentioned in the BBC article
7 The North Pole hotel
8 Windows, doors and steps - the Polar Research Institute
9 Nothing but windows - but not sure there's anything growing in there!

You may have to blow up the picture a bit to see it but the life belt is held on the wall by a wire cradle at the bottom and a wire hook at the top. The thing wot looks like a club is actually the device for throwing the belt out to sea. Grab hold of the bit that looks like a hand hold and pull the "club" out of the belt. The fat end of the club contains a rope the end of which which you can see attached to the life belt as a black lop at about eleven o'clock. My other half worked this out and then I found some pics on google images to confirm.

Nest question?

The first four are in Cork andthe rest in Norway not Iceland. The island of Spitsbergen in the Archipelago of Svalbard about five hundred miles from the North Pole.

Today in Pictures, at 100 miles an hour.

1. A brown Hawker Dragonfly.
2. You don't think they will be so dominant until they are up, this is from the canal just short of Riley's Swing Bridge.
3. Thistle seeds now old enough to leave home, and set up a family of their own.
4. A Marmalade Hoverfly, on a Field Bindweed.
5. Common Darter Dragonflies in the process of mating and laying eggs, this was a difficult shot due to their speed, check out the wings, almost invisible.
6. From the junction at Church, just short of the Dunkenhalgh Way. There was something a bit out of sync here. A gridlocked junction and the installation of wind turbines !
7. This is the caterpillar of the Lime Hawk Moth.

You can say what you like about this thread, but you learn some stuff, get taken around the world, and get to see whats right under your nose. This is Dave Mac for News at Ten handing you back to the studio.

Well what i was going to say is they both have very similar architecture - or is it just the buildings you've chosen to photograph? Cheers.
