I wonder if this is a preemptive strike ahead of something else being revealed.
I have saved this post for future reference.
This is outrageous. Even for him.

Black and white photo showing a man walking away from us down a wet Glasgow street in 1967. He carries an umbrella in one hand and is pulling along a leashed haggis with the other. A passing lady is giving the haggis a mildly curious look.

" But in his original letter my critic had suggested that The Times should present me with a good sporting rifle, and I and several of my supporters had seconded his suggestion. "
What an album. What a talent. Are there any (pop) songs quite as perfect as "Baby Can I Hold You"? If so, not many.
Photograph from 1911 taken by Herbert Ponting whilst with Scott's Antarctic Expedition The monochrome photo is taken from within a cave. The walls of the cave are made of ice. The cave entrance is in the mid distance with two figures standing looking out towards a distant ship. Between them and the ship there is first a 'beach' of ice before the sea itself. The ship could be up to 800 metres away What makes the photo so special is that where the figures are at the cave entrance there is a band of very white snow and ice (contrasting with the comparatively dark inside of the cave) that creates a stark framework in which the men and the ship are captured. It is made even more dramatic by the fact that the cave entrance is at least 30 metres high and is in the shape of a distorted elipse with the tail sloping off to the right at the top of the elipse The photo being in monochrome in a largely white environment makes the photographers skill all the more laudable
This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition,
The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance

There’s an antiques emporium in Norwich of such unfathomable strangeness every visit produces fresh gasps of bewilderment and terror. Recent finds:

Will certainly be checking this out. The Gilligan episodes of The X-Files are, for me, among the very best: Soft Light, Drive, Small Potatoes, Paper Hearts, Je Souhaite, Unruhe (still terrifying).
