Now that is lovely Car and scenery! Who would have thought an Aston could have looked so magical in yellow

Now if you had not taken that picture of the Aston Showroom in Paggers very early this morning, I wouldn't have enjoyed all the entertainment of finding out about that car and splattering it over a few threads. Not finished yet. I know the setting is not the Durham Moors, but like I say very similar, big skies, and heather and bleached grasses, and empty roads that stretch for miles. Taken that trivia over to the Trivia Investigation Team.

Always a good thing to keep in touch with the seasons.

The moon illuminating an old Band I/III TV aerial array this morning in Paggers A real survivor considering VHF 405 line TV ended in 1985!

I grabbed this shot during my run on a gorgeous, albeit frosty, morning...

Later in the run I watched the sun rise...

Magical

Yes the moon was very bright last night

The February full moon, known as the Snow Moon or Hunger Moon, always shines in or near the stars of Leo. Since it's opposite the sun on this day of the lunar month, the moon is fully illuminated, and rises at sunset and sets at sunrise. When full, no shadows are cast by the lunar terrain — so all of the albedo variations are produced by the moon's geology.

The curious will look up what an "albedo variation" is I haven't a clue

Proper sodium yellow light or fake?

one to identify

Neil, I zoomed in on your picture to examine the honey bee and found the interesting striped thing just above it. Is it an odd leaf or petal, a seed pod, an expired flower or what? Anyone know?

[NewcastleFalcon]

Might just be the variety of crocus Mick....that bit looks a little like this one Gypsy Girl

More from my bike ride today...

Time for another milestone celebratory car. I had trouble finding an interesting 5700cc car but kept looking until I came across this "marmite" option:

Seemed worth sharing here...car cabin photos after dark always seem to get a good reception, and this one would be a shame not to share.

[mickthemaverick]

Great job there Zel, certainly brings back a few memories from my BX days!!
