Lots of beautiful ones in this collection.

The nuclear reactor control panel was interesting. I joined the Navy for training as a reactor operator and trained on the reactor from the first nuclear powered submarine, the Nautilus. It sub had been decommissioned but the reactor was placed in the desert at Idaho National Labs for naval personnel to train on before being assigned to fleet vessels. The reactor plant control panel looked pretty similar.

There are 2 nuclear reactors in the middle of London (UK) so submariners can train at the naval college. 1critical (sic) mistake and 10 mio people with radiation sickness ?

Lots and lots of good ones. I'm especially impressed with the talons of that bird.

Just a couple of items. That one picture is a Harpy Eagle with the claws. The Svalbard picture , the house at the bottom is one from a vlogger that lives there for 10 yrs now. She's got a wonderful life. If you want to check it out: https://www.tiktok.com/@sejsejlija

The purple in the bedroom is so pretty. Butterflies are gorgeous and I love pictures of the woods. There's always some pictures in your posts that I really like.

Rade: Thanks!

Sandee: Hopefully he'll learn not to try that again.

Anon 7:40: I'm not surprised they looked similar if they're from roughly the same era. I imagine early designs were copied for later reactors.

Anon 9:33: If that's true, it's a bit disconcerting, but nuclear accidents that do any harm are very rare in advanced countries. They're probably better off with that than with the pollution from the old coal-fired energy sources.

Ricko: I'd hate to be attacked by that bird.

Leanna: Thanks for the tips. I had no idea about the cabin. I wouldn't consider it very wonderful being so isolated, but chacun à son goût.

Mary: I aim for a wide variety. I think the all-purple decor looks good, but it's a rare person who would have the nerve to do it.

The light house cookie cutter is such a fail. They would make good refreshments at a sex toy party however.

It's weird that anyone would make or sell that cookie cutter. Surely they'd realize how the cookies would come out.
