Just off the the coast of Newfoundland, Canada (not far from St. John’s, the location of the oldest street in North America), there’s a patch of high-res sea which has captured some truly incredible images of icebergs.

Zooming in further it seems that the ‘icebergs’ are made of hundreds of thousands of smaller chunks of ice, clinging together like massive swathes of frozen dust.

In fact, are these really icebergs at all? Perhaps they were, but have since disintegrated into billions of smaller pieces of ice. Are these darker shapes rivers of ice particles flowing under the surface of the ocean?

Thanks to Marc Armstrong and Peter.

Today sees the start of the very fashionable South by SouthWest (SXSW) festival in Austin, Texas. Unfortunately none of us at GGSS Towers are going along to give a talk or see a band or anything. But we can of course post photos of the Austin Conference Center where some of the events happen. There are other nice sites in Austin, the capitol building is pretty impressive and was puposely built to be 14 feet taller than the Nation’s Capital in DC. The Congress Avenue Bridge is apparently home to the world’s largest urban bat population. You can’t see any bats of course in the daytime photo so you’ll just imagine them all, lurking under there…

We hope everyone who is attending the conference has a great time.

Thanks: Cos, notmrjohn & Bryan Grudowski
