OpenGeoscience...

BGSYippee...free stuff! Use OpenGeoscience: a free service from the British Geological Survey (BGS) where you can view maps, download photographs and other information. The material is free-of-charge for non-commercial private study, research and educational activities. There are various sections: Data, Maps, Reports and especially pictures. The one below could be from one of my holidays as a child...that could be me...

The Drum Rock, St. Mary's, IOS...except it was taken about 77 years before I was there and I was there for the last time about 36 years ago...and, among the various and impressive rock formations, I'm not sure if this one is still there! (by which I also mean I don't know if it was there when I was...if you get my drift...)

I can't imagine you in a flat cap talking to a giant clam.

Thanks for mentioning this site(funnily enough it was featured on a science programme on BBC Radio Wales only 4 days ago...)
