Figured I'd upload this one. A picture from earlier in the fall, taken on my way back home from school after I noticed the water bomber was doing circles around the area.

On the approach to Jordanów (I was standing right below the station's signal) in Lesser Poland, more or less here: https://maps.google.com/maps?q=N49.635481,+E19.827615
The train is heading for Zakopane, which is Poland's most favourite mountain resort. The railway crossing Jordanów is caled Galician Transversal Railway, most of which lies in mountainous regions, making it extremely sightly and attractive for trainspotters. The sad part is, only few sectors of the GTR can enjoy decent train traffic.

No, I've not had desktop icons for years. Something all together more subtle...

Is it the lack of a start button perhaps? And is it not disorientating having multiple backgrounds on your monitors? I have a feeling if I had more then one monitor, I would need them to all be similar shades. Or different minimalist backgrounds

So do I, but I like my own cat a bit more than all the others. She's incredibly cute. :))

I use these two more than any desktop now, so they seem more relevant.

Nah, it's the budget version in HTC's flagship line, but the first thing I did when I got it was get rid of the horrible HTC firmware and stick Jelly Bean AOKP on it.
