Bailey the bison: he rides in cars & goes to bars!

when taking a photo of a beautiful, ancient red cedar, in picturesque settings, here's an idea, don't have some 80's-russian-rock wannabe standing infront of said tree, with a fag strategically placed in her hand. sort of ruins the *wow* factor...

"Prince William has spent a night sleeping rough in an event organised by a charity for the homeless"
- better than his brother, who usually just sleeps with rough girls ;)

I'm not a royalist (nor am i against them, really), but i thought it was quite a nice gesture from Prince William. In an age when most younger people in the eye of the world's media are quite happy to let us see them drunk and high in clubs, flashing their daddy's cash and their new dog-in-handbag, it makes a pleasant change to find one who's doing something for others, rather than to just premote himself

Every time i look at my page i'm told 'You can write an optional review...', so i am doing, purely because a nice photo is better than a constant reminder of the new way of discovering stuff on stumble (i.e. you can no longer you add something and thumb it up/every discovery you make with the new-new su appears in a review format, even if there is no review, rather than just as a thumbnail on your discoveries page)

Anyway, here's a nice shot of Ascot in the snow. It's been snowing so hard that the races have had to be cancelled. Good, that's a few less dead horses! (It's the only 'sport' where the leading players get literally destoryed if they break a leg, et.c. - pity that doesn't happen in football instead of horseracing, eh?)

Windswept, snow-covered trees, Germany.
Shiver, shiver

For some reason, when you now 'thumb up' a photo in a Telegraph gallery, you automatically thumb up all the others!
It's ok in a case like this cos there are quite a few decent pics in the gallery, including the 'mysterious blue light appearing in the sky above Norway - which has now been reported to be some Russian missile test (picture 3/30); an x-ray of a 19 year old student with a tv remote control shoved up his rear end (pic 10/30); Virgin's VSS Enterprise (pic 8/30) and other such delights as a Harry Potter portrait, a wallet made of lego...et.c

However, this has to be on of my favourites of the lot, purely for its bizarre factor.

"Meet the real-life Edward Scissorhands. Valentino LoSauro cuts the hair of Shannan Stewart with his revolutionary Clawz, which he claims cut hair twice as fast as normal shears, in Fort Myers, Florida, USA. He spent two years developing his invention"



I think his little flavour-saver/facial fungus just adds to the oddness, he could've at least gone for the complete Edward ScissorHands look!
