I’m a long-term user of the Flickr photo sharing / social media site. I joined some time in 2005, so it’s 20 years this year. I’ve 29,198 images on there, of which 2,813 are public. These numbers are accurate right now, but will be inaccurate very quickly.
I’m going to take a photo per day this year and upload it to a specific album, so I can document the year though photographs.
If the embedding works, the album should be below.
I did quite a bit of travel this year, getting closer to both poles of the planet than ever before. How did this year fare?

Large clumps of wet snow following on directly behind a downpour of rain. Settling briefly on darker coloured cars.
This might be the earliest snow in London in a long time. I don’t recall any earlier in the last 40-someting years.
When I’m not looking at teeth and bones, I’m a Gadabout heritage scientist.
Today, I’m up in Cambridge looking at old manuscripts with modern science. I’m using optical coherence tomography to see if we can look beneath some corrections in a south American manuscript.
