Heathrow to pipe 'sounds of an airport' around airport The airport has commissioned a soundtrack recorded on site to reflect the "excitement" of waiting to board a flight.

Alternatively just play YYZ on a permanent loop - I'd be happy.

Jesus ...

Map of Europe showing my route.

Statistics of my trip, 6 countries, 4606 kilometres, 17 trains, 13 places, nearly 43 hours on trains. 7 travel days over 17 days.

Highlighted seat number 61.

I recently got back from a fabulous Interrail holiday to Scandinavia. I visited Brussels, Hamburg, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Aarhus, Cologne, and Maastricht. How lucky am I? Denmark was particularly fantastic. 😍

A serene waterfall cascades over a rocky cliff surrounded by lush greenery. Multiple streams of water create a misty effect as they hit moss-covered rocks below. Sunlight filters through the trees, illuminating parts of the waterfall and foliage

It's #WaterfallWednesday 💙 Scale Haw Force is a pretty little waterfall a short walk from the village of Hebden in Wharfedale. What's not to love about this photograph!

A repeated pattern of window with bars giving the impression of a receding passageway, created by 2 mirrors (one placed either side of the window).

Clever use of 2 mirrors on either side of a window high up in Cley Windmill, giving the illusion of a receding passageway.

Blick auf den smaragdgrünen Fählensee im Alpstein, eingebettet zwischen steilen, felsigen Bergflanken mit spitzen Zacken. Im Vordergrund steht ein traditionelles Berggasthaus mit roten Fensterläden, umgeben von grünen Wiesen und Nadelbäumen. Über dem Tal strahlt der blaue Himmel mit wenigen weissen Wolken.

Der #Fählensee im #Alpstein – der schönste «Fjord» der #Schweiz – eingebettet zwischen Widderalpstöcken, Hundstein, Altmann und Kreuzbergen. Ein echtes #Sommer-Highlight. 🏔💦🤩

With X and Grok now actively promoting Nazism and the Holocaust, now is a great time to ask individuals and institutions why they're still supporting that platform.

This short video by @weatherwest.bsky.social provides a clear explanation of the meteorological factors contributing to this heartbreaking disaster and how climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of heavy rain.

It's so bizarre to do that.

The inexcusable trend by Eryri walkers that's alarming rescue volunteers The trend is worrying rescue volunteers and experienced walkers

You should never leave anyone behind especially inexperienced people and on top of the mountain!

Musk has adjusted Grok’s algorithm so it’s now a neo-Nazi.

Pretty cool that almost every progressive commentator, elected official and organization still uses Musk’s X algorithm to communicate with the public! Good job guys.

Facebook is asking to use Meta AI on photos in your camera roll you haven't yet shared | TechCrunch By clicking "Allow," you'll let Facebook generate new ideas from your camera roll, like collages, recaps, AI restylings, or photo themes.

I’m not on Facebook, as it’s a privacy sh!tshow even before the latest AI stuff. But giving access to your photo library to their AI is bonkers. Also, another example of wasting resources for frivolous crap to feed the advertising monster 🤷‍♂️

Hen Tor & Willings Walls Common. Yep, nothing here but species-poor grassland, Molinia, and a bit of bracken. And a lot of sheep scattered about.

The opportunity cost of maintaining the current grazing regime on this land is huge. It's as much a failure of the imagination as anything else.

How England’s outdated water tracking system leaves regulators in the dark Experts warn accurately monitoring consumption by bulk users such as farmers, datacentres and businesses can be all but impossible

Visited the barren, overgrazed Hen Tor common yesterday with @tonydartmoor.bsky.social - an ‘ecological dead zone’, as he called it

This is an SSSI that’s now in declining condition with barely any heather left & a single rowan growing on a rocky ledge - and even that had been browsed by sheep!
