J.M.W Turner 

  The Fighting Termeriare - Tugged At Her Last Berth To Be Broken Up (1838)

Rain Steam and Speed, The Great Western Railway (1844) 

Slavers Throwing Overboard, The Dead And Dying, Typhoon Coming On (a.k.a The Slave Ship) (1840)

Saw two of these in person today. Third one tomorrow.

Spent half the day at the National Gallery, and the other half in bookshops, and eating great english breakfast.
The Tate and the Saatchi (Valery Koshlyakov!) tomorrow.
I love London.

So mad at myself for not buying Neko Case tickets before they sold out…….
On a slightly different note, though, my flight to London is tomorrow! So, yay!

Photos from Saturday’s emergency spacewalk on the ISS

The spacewalk outside the International Space Station was captured on film by the tweeting, Facebooking, social media maven and space station commander Chris Hadfield. “Amazing day,” he said. “EVA went off without a hitch. Great crew, phenomenal ground support and a supportive audience. Who could ask for anything more?”
