Teddies in Space

Yes, really!

Teddies in Space

This is one of the many excellent images entered into the Cambridge University Nokia Photography Competition at the Department of Engineering 2009 which are all well worth a look. The brief: "We are searching for an image that relates to research or teaching in the Department or engineers out in the field, which may be beautiful, fascinating, intriguing, amusing, or possibly all of these things".

My favourite certainly fitted into the latter category and appealed to my mischievous side, but given this was the result of a collaboration between the University and a group of 11 to 13 year old children it was still no mean feat. How many school kids can claim to have designed space suits for actual space faring travellers? Well done! Mind you I can't help wondering if teddy on the left found the whole ordeal a little uncomfortable without a helmet!

That's given me some ideas for some new landscape images. Now where did I put those leftover birthday balloons?
