Nothing special, but here’s that video of the diving in Plymouth at promised…

Oddly enough, one of the incredibly few photos I took in London, and the only one I plan on sharing, and probably only significant to Pink Floyd fans, and the landmark is covered in construction… Kind of sums up my time in London… I was…
Not a whole lot to say here other than these white chalk cliffs are pretty impressive, and Beachy Head is mentioned in a song I like about the Spitfire airplanes… and while I was there an old plain flew by – I couldn’t tell if…
Ok – so instead of Birling Gap, I’m going to jump forward to Bali and share a quick set of geckos. The only one I know the species for is the blue one with the orange spots, which is a tokay gecko. These were all…
My stop through Salisbury was a bit of a whirlwind. I arrived Sunday evening after the diving in Plymouth (I still owe you folks a quick video from the diving, but I still need to process them) and then I continued on Monday morning for…
And before I went diving in Plymouth, I visited a historic site in Dartmoor National Park called Grimspound. There are 24 of these stone hut circles surrounded by a short stone wall (seen on the right in the below panoramic shot). Next to the village…
Bouncing forward in the Europe time, here are some jellies that I saw while diving in Plymouth. I only used the GoPro with the MacroMateMini (same setup I used for the Summersville Macro Subjects) with varying results… But still cool to have some cold water…
Ooops – I guess I’m not posting in chronological order here… I didn’t take many photos during my European tour, and this is one of only three from Germany (Frankfurt is kind of a boring town in my opinion). But it was still nice to…
Taken during one of my morning strolls along the canals in Utrecht in the Netherlands…
Since I’ve shared plenty of nudibranch photos, I thought maybe I should share some of their eggs… Most nudis lay their eggs in a spiral pattern that often looks like a rose.
Well, now that I’m on the other side of the planet (ok technically, the other side of the planet from where I am right now is somewhere in Venezuela, but the other side of the planet from Pittsburgh is somewhere in the Indian Ocean, so…)…
While we’re on the subject, I guess I will share a couple photos the the disappointing views I got of Notre Dame. The whole area was cordoned off and I couldn’t get very close, but it made me sad to see all those stained glass…
So let’s get the pedantic portion of this post out of the way first… What is the difference between a gargoyle and a grotesque? A gargoyle is technically a waterspout, so if it doesn’t look like it is designed to shoot water away from the…
