Yeah, I’ve seen this movie before. The tech’s going to have to be way advanced for me to trust it.

I would really like to be here right now. Sadly, it is 2,916 miles away.
Pfffft. Did you really think I would forget to post for Tongue-out Tuesday?? 😜 #chompersthecorgi #tongueouttuesday #bellyrubsarethebest #oldiebutgoodie
I wish our Corgi was this enthusiastic about belly rubs. He may start out this way, but if you touch him the wrong way, he freaks. I chalk it up to whatever abuse he may have suffered before he joined our family. But if you can get him relaxed and trusting, oh boy does he love it!

A Guide’s Eye View, by Philip Field.
His caption: Two mountain guides direct a helicopter into land high in the Swiss Alps on top of Mt. Gond. I took this shot whilst shooting an extreme ski and snowboard competition - the Nendaz Freeride FWQ. I had been dropped just before on the peak and with the permission of the guides cowered down behind them to capture this shot when the remaining supplies were delivered. My lens took a bit of a battering and I could only hold myself in position properly for a few seconds as the rush of snow debris was insane at this point.

Exploring Dublin’s Long Room
To view more photos and videos from Dublin’s Trinity College Library, explore the Long Room location page.
Measuring 65 meters (213 feet) in length and housing more than 200,000 of Ireland’s oldest books, the Long Room at Trinity College Library in Dublin stands as a historical and cultural masterpiece.
The library is the largest in Ireland and dates back to the establishment of the university college in 1592. It holds more than 6 million printed works spanning 400 years.
The Long Room was originally built with a flat ceiling, but it was expanded to accommodate upper shelves and a gallery in the 1850s after the library was given legal deposit status in 1801, meaning it receives free copies of all material published in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
In addition to the numerous written works housed within the library, the Long Room also boasts marble busts of great philosophers, writers and artists as well as Ireland’s oldest harp.
