Photograph from 1911 taken by Herbert Ponting whilst with Scott's Antarctic Expedition The monochrome photo is taken from within a cave. The walls of the cave are made of ice. The cave entrance is in the mid distance with two figures standing looking out towards a distant ship. Between them and the ship there is first a 'beach' of ice before the sea itself. The ship could be up to 800 metres away What makes the photo so special is that where the figures are at the cave entrance there is a band of very white snow and ice (contrasting with the comparatively dark inside of the cave) that creates a stark framework in which the men and the ship are captured. It is made even more dramatic by the fact that the cave entrance is at least 30 metres high and is in the shape of a distorted elipse with the tail sloping off to the right at the top of the elipse The photo being in monochrome in a largely white environment makes the photographers skill all the more laudable

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition,

The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance

Iconic imo

This is who they are.

Scott McTominay being sold was the day I knew the rot had really set in at United. He just scored a possible scudetto winning goal for Napoli(a fuckin banger too) and it looks like the fireworks in celebration could burn a city down. I could not be happier for him. #Napoli

Instead of having decent public housing we have tax payer's money handed to a TD who takes it to put tenants in her 10 houses, and then gets to vote against tenant's rights.

Blatant corruption. We should have a by-election out of this.

Original strip by Dan Schkade, translated by me, and lettered by Rob Jones. #SpeirGorm

An absolute masterclass in time wasted. Maybe the worst comic I've read in years.

This is for everyone in the country. You'll never cage Michael Lowry, the crook that can't get got. You'll never even get him to apologise. He should be hounded until he retires,he should never know rest, the public should boo him on sight. He should be made a social pariah.

Dáil “speaking time’ row is really about FFG not wanting to admit Michael Lowry is an important and influential part of their Government.

I never, ever, ever want to hear a single word out of any Fianna Fáil or Fine Gael supporters mouth about how Sinn Féin or People Before Profit don't respect democratic norms and processes.

This has been both shameful and shameless from the government, from start to finish.

That's all MDR was in the end.

For your brain it was a profound and puzzling experience....for Raul Julia's psychic dreamtime imprint it was just Tuesday.....
