I hate to say it Ken, but at this point, about the last thing the PDML is 
about is photography.

Agreed and that's sad

Why do you hate say you hate this as you're one of the major 'bit political' 
posters.
Less of the 'bit political postings' here would make the list more about 
photography.


A bit political, as long as it doesn't get toxic probably is unavoidable 
as it seems everything these days, even the weather, has been politicized.


If I wanted 'a bit political' I'd go to those sites that offer it.
I go to this list exactly because it isn't supposed to be political.
There is already too much political most every day in other places.

It was a good day for bird shooting yesterday, with some warm light

On a day when a Conservative ex-PM is testifying to the Supreme Court
against the current Conservative PM, and another Conservative ex-PM who
started it all says on live television that when the result didn't go the
way he expected he "shat at the TV", you can now take yourself away from the
madness of the world with a calming trip to the world's first vagina museum.
