   OK, I hate the elitist tripe that is the Harry Potter enterprise, but this is impressive.

   There is no reflection from the ladder in the car’s surface…

3. Desiato on February 22nd, 2012 at 10:12:

   That’s totally stupid! They could have put the ladder in the car diagonally to make it stick out much less!

   :-p

4. SM on February 22nd, 2012 at 12:43:

   If you look at the left rear windows you can see the reflection of the ladder on the car surface that goes to the left rear lights. Similar reflection to the one produced by the left mirror. The ladder steps produce shadow at the ladder as teh car in the road.

   I don’t see why it is fake.

5. Michael on February 25th, 2012 at 23:06:

   It’s the perspective view of the ladder that’s faulty. The left hand end of the ladder should show the front rail jutting out further. See the linked image file here: http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm19/satoriguru/ladder_perspective.jpg

   I don’t see anyone skating, tho.

2. Jan-Mark on February 8th, 2012 at 8:00:

   Ok, I understand, you are not Dutch. If there is ice everywhere (as it is now), people go skate in places that allows them to skate in large groups for long ends. There is a hole in the ice (a “wak”) underneath both bridges. Had the ice been good it would take a couple of minutes to skate to the big building at the end of the channel. So this is totally non skate ice. I hope the ice will be thick enough (6 inches) for an “elfstedentoch” than you will see many pictures of thousands of people on the ice having fun.

   Jan-Mark, I think Desiato has drunk more beer at Annie’s Verjaardag than you

4. Desiato on February 8th, 2012 at 15:21:

   Ha ha ha, ja, ik overwoog nog om iets te grappen in de richting van “not a lot of people showed up for Annie’s birthday”…

   Ik neem aan dat dit over dezelfde foto gaat…:

   Ineens hing er een Rus aan de telefoon bij Leidsch Dagblad-fotograaf Hielco Kuipers. Of zijn foto van het ijsterras van Annie’s in een Russische stadskrant afgedrukt mocht worden. ,,Welke stad?’’ vroeg Kuipers. Een onbekende voorstad van Moskou was het antwoord. Kuipers: ,,Maar wel een met 3 miljoen inwoners!’’ Vervolgens belde een Zuid-Afrikaan. Of ze de foto mochten afdrukken in Bloemfontein. Kuipers was verbaasd. Wat was er met zijn foto gebeurd? Die bleek opgepikt op facebook. Korte tijd nadat LD-internetredacteur Renée van der Nat de foto op leiden.vandaag had geplaatst zag zij het aantal ’likes’ die bij de foto waren geplaatst omhoog schieten. Japanners, Russen, Zuid-Amerikanen iedereen reageerden op het opmerkelijke beeld dat Kuipers had geschoten van het ijsterras op de plek waar Oude en Nieuwe Rijn samenkomen.

   Hi John, beautiful photo, and lovely place! What town is this?

8. Andy on February 9th, 2012 at 8:52:

   John, could you please put my internet back in the hat for the next contest. The one I’ve got is doing fine for the moment. Many thanks.

6. John Sinteur on January 16th, 2012 at 22:40:

   I will do that. It is still in its wrapper, so it will stay fresh in storage…

   Saturn has such amazing moons:
   Titan has thick atmosphere and it’s surface seems to float on an ocean (http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=signs-of-hidden-ocean-under-titans-crust). On the surface there are lakes of liquid hydrocarbons.
   Enceladus has geysers that feed Saturn’s rings with new material
   Hyperion looks like a sponge and Mimas has a big crater that makes it look like the deathstar.

   I’d say the Cassini mission which photographed all this was money well spend. (More images: http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/index.cfm).
