The sky is blue — where's the sunlight? (Note how the blue of the sky washes out the yellow of the hostel when unwarmed by sunlight.)

We went on a tour of the pilot station. The way up to it is covered with chain-link mesh to Prevent Those Approaching From Being Hit By Objects Falling From The Towers.

An upper level of the pilot station has a sweet deck with a sweet view.

At my present longitude (eastern US), 59°N is up in the Ungava Peninsula. How about THAT.

The big smooth rock along the southern shore. Can you spot the shipwreck?

There seem to suddenly be MORE towers than before. I like the accreted look of the pilot station that is clearest from this direction.

Some more vivid beetles! What u up 2 ??

A semi-secret path and stair up the hill near the eastern end of the village, I think.

We were challenged to a football match with the schoolchildren. Not a shin was left unbruised.*
