Last month we promised to try for a
picture of the ISS as well as the space shuttle, but we have to admit
to the total failure of this project. The rest of the crew blames the
editor. The editor blames the terrible Ulster weather and a total lack
of co-operation from NASA. Be this as it may, as a
substitute we offer a photograph taken as a test shot which shows the
constellation Orion in a sky lit by the lights of Derry. We ask our viewers either to imagine the two trails crossing through the constellation, or to just enjoy the picture as it is! |
The photograph shows the site of the
new Civic Centre at the beginning of the month. Clearly a decision has
been taken to issue lots of blue helmets and yellow jackets and get
something done. Don't let the relaxed posture of
the participants fool you. Clearly everyone is looking very stationary
at the moment, but the way they carry those shovels tells the expert
eye that they are planning to do something ....... very soon! |
Regular readers of the Newsbrowser will have wondered what happened to these magnificent creatures. Well, it's that time of the year
again. The males are nervous and bad tempered and have running fights
all over the forest. The four oldest males seem to be fighting 24 hours
a day. The rest of the herd looks healthy and eats a lot. If you want to see them in action, just click on this link. |
A Greencastle property firm has launched a Save Lough Foyle Ferry As nobody else seems to be doing
much about the loss of this valuable asset, any initiative to save the
ferry is welcome and has the Newsbrowser's support. Just click on the link above or the one below to visit the site. This link is now dead. |
