As of this writing, there are 130.129.027 pictures on Wikipedia (technically, on Wikimedia Commons). Of those, 20.698 (roughly 0,016%) are called Featured pictures, considered to be of the highest quality on the site.

One of them is this shot of the ruins of Sipar, Croatia - and it seems to be the first kite aerial photo that got this prestigious title. Hurrah! 🙂

New featured picture: Sunset in Thanet

This featured picture is a sunset snap I took during the spring of this year. Tomorrow morning, I will have published a small gallery of photos featuring the stunning sky of Thanet.

Featured Pictures: Occasionally, I pick a new picture to feature on the blog. It will serve as a background picture until I pick another. The archive of featured pictures can be found here. I am open to featuring reader pictures if anyone cares to share theirs with me.

A view from Pegwell

I thought it might be nice to rotate the background picture of this blog with photos of Thanet. I might be tempted to also sometimes use art from and about the area.

Each time I change the background picture I will publish a post like this one.

This picture is a photo that I took in Pegwell looking back at Ramsgate in the summer of 2024.
