So, apparently the world’s ending today. Maybe it’ll all end up
looking like this? On the upside, it’ll make things a lot
simpler for landscape photographers, because you won’t end up
with people barging into your frame, or unwanted vehicles, or
anthropometric clutter, or people telling you to stop standing
in their field. Also, the skiing will be killer without all
those lift-lines. Especially for those of us smart enough to
preposition ourselves with seal-skins and randonée bindings.
Okay, so maybe it isn’t. NASA‘s certainly pretty adamant that it
will be a very ordinary Winter Solstice for most of us. In fact,
Dr Karl Kruszelnicki presents my personal favourite quote on the
whole conversation about theories the world will end today: On
the 21st of December, inconveniently only two shopping days
before Christmas the Mayan calendar will click over. But to say
the world will end is like saying today’s date is the 29th and
therefore your cut lunch will turn into a shoe. That’s how
rational and logical it is. H
