The wonders of nature - a natural rock formation in the Tassili N'Ajjer National Park in Algeria - looks for all the world like a giant hedgehog.
The second shot shows a different view - with the hedgehog apparently being threatened by a cat-like creature to its right, and by an elephant's bum from behind...

My brother and his wife in Sydney are wildlife carers - these are the latest orphans they are looking after. Four Tawny Frogmouths - cute little devils...

I see a falcon clinging to the rock on the right bottom picture. Isn't nature wonderful.
Yup - it surely is.
I've just noticed in that circle of stones at bottom right - the largest of them looks for all the world like a stone tank, with a row of peepholes above the gun barrel.
Drawn by a friend of my youngest son - talented youg lady.

33,553 squeezed in for an FA Cup 3rd Round tie v Liverpool in 1967.
The first time we had ever played Liverpool. Funny thing - I can't remember much about the game, not even where I stood in the ground, but can remember the replay four days later quite clearly - especially the joy on the terraces that Terry Melling's consolation goal brought in the dying minutes, and, sadly, Furphy getting caught horribly out of position leading to Liverpool's opening goal.
I love the guy standing on the pavement looking "over" the wall.
I cannot remember being there, I was perhaps too young but I did go to the Man U cup match a few years later and remember sitting on the glass studded wall just above the toilets that were in the corner to the left of this picture.
How things have changed.
I was listening to it in Mount Vernon Hospital after being mangled on my motorcycle by a drunk driver on New Years. Eve
I've spent an evening there with a nurse taking a brillo pad to me removing several yards of Batchworth Lane from my back... proper road rash and lucky it wasn't a whole lot worse.
Small world, crap drivers there though! Someone pulled out of Russell Road, decided they weren't going to get out in front of the car coming the other way and stopped - blocking the whole road. 4 choices: hit him and probably break several bones in the process; hit the oncoming car and die; take my chances with the grass verge and concrete fence posts; ... or lay the bike down in the road and hope for the best! B*st*rd drove off leaving me sitting in the road a bit like the copper at the end of Electraglide in Blue - but it was the other 10+ drivers that drove around me lying in the middle of the road that really p*****d me off.
That was the attitude of drivers in those days, it is different now
Mine was at 2-00am on the morning of !st Jan
Four students were on the opposite side of the road and on of them was a runner, he ran to Mount Vernon and at 2-20 am I was in Casualty recieving medical attention and blood transfers, the only reason I am still here, despite their evidence at the trial the drunk driver got off with driving without due care and attention and fined £40.00, his father was a rich bastard though
Well done that man. I just had a bit of road rash and needed a new crash helmet, handlebars, clutch lever, gear pedal and silencer. As to the crash helmet I smacked it on the kerb and it split almost in two and flew off... I was quite lucky to say the least, especially as I hit the kerb with my head. No concussion, it did its job. A Naval Officer stopped, got the bike off the road and drove me up to MVH. Still got charged £20 as it was an RTA even though no ambulance was called.
My crash
The told me all in all it was the closest I could come to being dead and surviving
I am officially the undead
My crash helmet looked like a hard boiled egg that had been thrown at a wall, with out it my head would have looked like a raw egg thrown at a wall

Nasty things motorbikes. I finished up within a foot of rolling into the Grand Union Canal having been ejected from the pillion as we took off on a hump backed bridge.
