Is his car a Bond Bug by any chance? Or maybe a Bung Bog!

Looks a bit Jerry Anderson to me! But 53 years since NASA last sent humans toward the moon, the technology hasn’t changed that much has it! Still love it though 👍

I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a “thin” Crescent Moon as this - Taken from the South Lakes @18:45 20/03/26

Western sky in the evening with the thinnest slip of a crescent moon just visible.

From one extreme to another, a typical same day vibe in the UK!

A rough Irish Sea ceasing into the promenade causing plumes of water to cascade up.

Sun sets over the horizon reflected in an outgoing tide with expanse of beach.

Sun sets painting the sky a purple pink with sea grass in the foreground.

Children’s playground silhouetted against a crimson sky as the sun sets over the Irish Sea.

Bye bye Winter, hello Spring, last day of February and a trip to the beach!

Sunset on the last day of February over the Irish Sea, with a paddling Labrador and a setting sun with dappled clouds.

Golden Sunset and a promise of Spring, lighter evenings are here abouts.

Sunset over the Irish Sea casting a golden finish to the calm sea and burnishing the clouds.

Sunset over the Irish Sea, last one of the winter before 17:00 at this spot on the coast, a promise of longer warmer days to come! Going, going, gone.

A collage of the setting sun framed by steely grey clouds and a turquoise sea, the contrast between the grey and the red sun satisfyingly stark.

I’ve asked AI and it came back with this! Bored Of Peas

Goodnight sunshine, see you tomorrow fingers crossed. When BlueSky becomes GoldSky!

Sun sets over the Irish Sea at 16:28 (19/01/2026) paintings the sky and clouds in gold and pink.

When your Autumn camouflage works, and when your Autumn camouflage doesn’t!

Two pictures in a collage, in one a brown Labrador dog blends in with the fallen leaves and in the other a black Labrador stands out against the fading ferns.

Simes@simason· Oct 21

Sometimes that afternoon dog walk just turns magical!

Evening sun setting over the sea revealing golden clouds and light streaks in all directions in true autumn colours.

One heck of a dappled blue sky today!

Fragmented clouds dapple a blue sky with the sun brightening one side.

Meanwhile Nigel Farage will be rolled lightly in olive oil, lightly garnished with rosemary and pink sea salt, scattered with rose petals then wrapped gently in greaseproof paper and put on a low heat for 4 hours.

Watch out for the next bandwagon to jump on Robert! Perhaps tightrope walking without a safety net whilst holding Union Flags will become popul….Oh yeah, sorry Robert

Fantastico sunset on the Fylde Coast tonight, clouds, sea, mist it had it all!

Collage of pics taken as the sun set on the Fylde Coast, 1 Wife and doggies silhouetted on the beach, 2 Mary’s Shell on Cleveleys beach with the sun behind (like a big metal conch shell), 3 Looking back toward Blackpool Tower with sea mist, 4 Sun sets dipping below the Irish Sea horizon lighting clouds in pink and orange.

Well I saw it and I tried but only had an IPhone to hand for a view over the Gulf of Lancashire (formerly the Irish Sea 😂) David’s picture is Saintly though, well it was St David’s Day!

Waxing crescent moon with full face visuble due to reflected sunlight from the Earth. Venus shining bright high above on a 1st March sunset looking West.

Simes@simason· Mar 1

It’s a Fylde Coast version of the Northern Lights, and I don’t mean the Blackpool Illuminations! Happy St. David’s Day to all you Welshies!

Evening sky behind a bare Birch Tree, lots of colours in the cloud as the sun sets on the first of March ‘25.

Trust ‘em to bleed me dry of treats the greedy hounds! But they are best buds, and mine 😀
