This week's title is Breath-Taking. Left to right: Blue sky full of clouds in a regressive display, an old-time cannon pointing through a castle arch, Niagara Falls, a ship's wake in a blue sea, a strange statue of a horned devil with an impressive torso as glimpse through greenery, and a steep stone staircase leading up to a craggy rock.

Everybody's sightseeing. Seeing sights. Fortunately, we all get to see those sights. Second-hand, as it were. Here, on the internet. In the h2g2 Post.

Bluebottle has found places some of us never heard of – like the Devil's Hole on Jersey. Also a very cool castle.

Meanwhile, in London, there's price-gouging going on with the ice cream trucks. (That's going on in Washington, DC, too, as we speak), so everybody be careful out there. It's a shame to have your little summertime pleasures spoiled like that.

Many of us are looking at water longingly: Allan points his camera at Niagara Falls, Galaxy Babe off the stern of the boat, and I click on those clouds and suggest they ought to be doing something other than just sitting up there.

Cityscapes, mindscapes. Humour, stories. We've got a lot to offer. Slow down. Get a cold drink. Read along with us.

Keep cool and have a good week!

(And send more Stuff!)

Quote of the Week:
The world is complicated and cannot be governed by people living inside a hallucination without eventually courting profound disaster. Someone has to think things through, at some level.

Will Stancil
Video Extra:
The principle of generating small amounts of finite improbability by simply hooking the logic circuits of a Bambleweeny 57 Sub-Meson Brain to an atomic vector plotter suspended in a strong Brownian Motion producer (say a nice hot cup of tea) were of course well understood. . . (Douglas Adams)

. . . unfortunately not by Earth passenger railways. (The Earth Edition)
