#introduction I’m a retired aerospace engineer, worked on the #Orion / #Artemis program from beginning through the Artemis 2 mission launch, before that 18 years on the Space Shuttle, so I follow #space & #science topics. Also of interest #photography / #travel / #nature / #environment / #art / #geology / #gardening / #politics.

All photos I post - other than boosts of others - are my own © BigBang through 2026, Milian Kurten.

These are from a Nov 2022 trip to Big Bend National Park, #Texas.

Oh my giddy aunt, I've never seen anything like that type of scenery, ever. Probably never will. Spectacular in black and white too. Neither #snowdoniamountains #wales, nor #scottishhighlands can compete.

@RhiMG I’ve traveled around England proper but sadly not yet to Wales or Scotland, but from what I’ve seen in photos & videos I think the scenery there holds its own against any other beautiful part of the world. And you have castles. But more than that, while you may hear some colorful expressions uttered by locals in the vast spaces of far west Texas, you will probably not hear any of them say “oh my giddy aunt”, so you’ve got that going for you😁.

I'm biased but #gowerpeninsula where I live is the jewel in the UK crown.

@RhiMG beautiful !
