DAS HAUL

 A big shot of our German second hand haul.

We had so much Spaß buying it all!

Some repairs, renovations and resales to come this summer. 

The chair, ornaments and paintings are for the Haus.

What do you think?

SMOKIN'

 A while back I put a photo like this up  which attempts to reproduce a scene from the Space: 1999 episode , The Bringers of Wonder.

 The photo was generally well received, although someone questioned  whether or not you see smoke on the Moon. I answered I didn't really know as I'm not a scientist, and just wanted  to add some dynamism to the picture. I resisted the temptation to say it was actually taken in my garage on Earth!

I've used smoke several times on 'Lunar surface' shots to hopefully give some added realism to my photos,  however, I was intrigued myself, and did a little checking amid the usual bewildering scientific gobbledegook. 

I found that contrary to the accepted belief,  it's been discovered that our Moon does have very slight atmosphere,  called a 'surface boundary exosphere', and comparable to the outer most fringes of Earth's, but containing minute amounts of  unusual gases, including sodium and potassium.

How smoke might react in that environment I still don't know, so for the foreseeable future I'll just have to rely on the more familiar atmospheric effects in my garage! 

DAS BOOT SALE

After driving and sailing the best part of two days we're back from the Continent.

We're fair knackered as they say in Yorkshire.

Still there's all the European goodies we gathered to go through this week.

A fulsome report to follow but for now some schnapps.

New old car boot cars and a woody duck.

Lots of Dutch toast and bread sprinkles.

A new old charity shop chair.

A car boot painting.

Bags and boxes of second hand stuff to open and show and tell.

We're going to need a bigger 🏠!
