Oh, what a beautiful white cat

i like that one

Thanks. It's the inside of an abandoned school bus. That's the driver's seat. I didn't see a steering wheel. Perhaps the driver moved it telepathically.

Could be why it is abandoned, lol

I'd like to be able to get more shots like that. Is that a single exposure or did you use HDR software?

My recent programming project has been to write my own algorithms for merging photos.

Mobile phone was a bit off with pictures today. These are Covent Garden, Piccadilly Circus and the Soho area of central London (roughly) It was a day after the royal wedding and there were still bits and peices on the street and loads of tourists

Twilight London pics that seemed to not come out right at all?! But it kinda looks funky. And the St Pancras Station at Dawn this morning

They'll come out extremely blurry due to the slow shutter-speed. Mobile phone cameras have tiny sensors, and thus, very slow shutter-speeds.

Anyway, my time at the pub yesterday:

I want to try all of those

The Gunpowder Mild tastes kind of milky and really isn't my thing at all. It's been on for over a year as a constant beer. It never changes.

The Hawkshead Lakeland Gold is a fantastic beer, brewed in Staveley up in Cumbria. It's a golden ale, 4.4% with a goodly hop character to it.

Bowland Brewery's Bowland Dragon is another golden beer. Very crisp and nice on the palate. Yum. 4.2%.

And then there is The Legend - Old Peculier. 5.6%.

i was discussing the beer and ale percentages with someone, and it seems to vary quite widely from country to country. here is canada the beer is typically 5%, with craft brews sometimes a little higher.

i prefer a DIPA where the extra hops will bring it up to around 8-9%, though you can't buy that in a pub - only in a bottle. there is one restaurant that brews and serves a 9-10% barleywine right on site, and it's pretty good.

love the pic of the taps, by the way.

Gotta cheer anyone who drinks ale in a land of larger, cider and alco-pops

Tequila are there Lakes ales, excluding Old Peculier? I tasted a few old ales around that way in beer festivals.
Am a CAMRA member

hyperlexian try a few Belgium and German beers they will knock your sox off some of go up to 12%.
I love Beligum beer

Edit: Just a small selection of my favourite UK beers.
Oakham's Old Tosspot 5.2%
Cains Blackout Winter Warmer 5.5% (any other Cains beers as its one of local breweries)
Abbeydale's Last Rites 11% & Black Mass 6.66% (One of my favourite breweries)
Harviestoun's Bitter and Twisted 4.2%

For Belgium ale this web page is very useful

I'll second cdfox7's take on Belgian beer! My first was Gulden Draak, a really nice dark triple. Mmm!
