Gah, almost two months since I last blogged. Here, have a couple of pictures of shiny things to tide you over while I think of something to say…

Night Lights
The Canadian Navy just celebrated 100 years of existance, and here in Victoria we lit things on fire, shone lights around, and blew stuff up. The usual.
