The blue planet

A Christmas LED light decoration spun and shot at f/32 for 3 seconds.

Manflu still hanging around, but hopefully over the worst!

I shouldn't post a shot like this without doffing my cap in the direction of Sir Patrick Moore who died earlier today aged 89.

Aww poor thing, someone call an ambulance!! Hope my fav for this photo makes you feel a bit better :p

[Cathy Breen]

And I pushed the fav button harder this time!!

[Sean O'Neill]

@cathy366 Aww thanks Cathy, after a rubbish night's sleep it has perked me up no end. I saw your comment about Jade and thought i would try and shoot something "British" or christmassy for her to cheer her up. Any ideas?

[Sean O'Neill]

@cathy366 LOL, I noticed ;))

[Sean O'Neill]

@asutherland1964 Sadly no Andrew, though I have received much sympathy from the lovely ladies of 365, so I can't complain too much!

[Sean O'Neill]

@cathy366 BTW, you just gave me my 1200th fav. Thank you, a real milestone for me. x

[Cathy Breen]

Woo hoo, CONGRATULATIONS!!! that is fabulous Sean. How's that manflu going now?

[Cathy Breen]

Oh and thank you so much for thinking about Jade, you are very kind and now I feel bad about being so unsympathetic towards your fragile state.(not too bad) She is fine this evening, she loves looking at all the photos on 365

[Debbie Orlando]

Very cool.

[Rosie White-Hlouveraki]

Great shot and edit Sean. The great Sir Patrick Moore, yes, I will miss him. he certainly got me interested into Astronomy when I was younger. He was always such a character!
Hope you feel better real soon. Its a real sod when you feel so groggy.
