Re: utterly random picture thread.
This was prompted by the 'your bike and something thread ' when the challenge was something of naval warfare.
I knew that this was somewhere in the forest, it took quite a while to find it and was absolutely not in a place where I could get the Honda.
I found it on the MTB

Re: utterly random picture thread.
On this day in 1987 a group of hired labourers carried 700 old hospital beds onto Saunton Sands in Devon, England for a photo shoot by Robert Dowling & Storm Thorgerson.
Carefully arranged they were to form the cover to the iconic Pink Floyd album 'A momentary lapse of reason'
Despite meticulous planning the weather intervened, with rain forcing the shoot to be abandoned, the exercise was repeated a few weeks later.
By coincidence 1987 was also the year that Photoshop was first developed (although it wasn't marketed until 1988) fast forward a few years and thanks to Photoshop, AI, and other graphic handling/manipulation programmes we are unlikely to ever see the likes of this epically staged photo shoot again.

Death by planet?!
Wolf is an interesting name (apparently 'cos the tumour would eat away at you).
The plural of 'anecdote' is not 'data'.
