Sunset and aurora

Here's a sunset pic from last night.



And for those of you who like penguins, and they're popular in at least two fandoms (inexplicably so in Blake's 7), Aurora is a nice layout. Here's a preview of how my journal would look in it.

Which fandom besides B7?

The Penguin Conspiracy was devised on the Lyst by a couple of people whose names I forget.

Drake's Venture apparently, but it actually has penguins.

It's a nice layout anyway, and it's southern hemisphere!

Penguins are good for a fandom.

I think the B7 Penguin conspiracy still has a webpage... yep.

That's gorgeous!

The sunset or the aurora layout? :-)

Yay pretty sunset! I love it!

And Penguins, ha!

The sunset--I'm not too fond of the cold stuff, although the penguins are cute.

great sunset

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2008-05-08 07:42 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks! We get some gorgeous ones here, and have a great view over the city from our hill.

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2008-05-08 07:43 am (UTC)(link)
Penguins get in everywhere. :-P

Oh, that's lovely - and the layout is simply gorgeous.

penguins should be in every fandom (now trying to work out how to finagle them into Magnificent 7...)

Isn't it a lovely, simple, and effective one? And southern hemisphere too!

Penguins are very cute, and that's a nice layout... But I like your SF design better. :)

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2008-05-08 09:20 am (UTC)(link)
Me too. It'll take a fair bit to make me give that up.

Oooh, that's a lovely sunset, thank you!

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2008-05-08 09:24 am (UTC)(link)
There was a lot more red before I managed to get upstairs and take its picture.

Now why did I look at that picture and think "Edinburgh"? Maybe that was the last place I looked across a city at sunset?

Re penguins, I blame [livejournal.com profile] altariel and [livejournal.com profile] temeres, though I'm not sure anyone remembers who started it.

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2008-05-08 09:40 am (UTC)(link)
There's a tower in the centre of the picture, ut it's our Sly Tower. Is that it?

Ah, a bird enthusiast makes sense, but [livejournal.com profile] altariel? Whoever it was, it really stuck.

Possibly...

I seem to recall that [livejournal.com profile] altariel used to keep an evil army of penguin minions round her computer. I'm pretty sure I sent her a penguin calendar to reinforce them one year.

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2008-05-08 10:15 am (UTC)(link)
Ah. It begins to add up...

And that was meant to be 'Sky Tower'. I'm making a lot of typos today. :-P

Great sunset - and I like the northern lights in Aurora. Might think about that....

A beautiful sunset! Your penguins are great!

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2008-05-08 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
They're southern ones if there are penguins, but you've been to the Arctic and seen the others, haven't you!

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2008-05-08 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I hope someone uses that layout; it's a very effective one.

[identity profile] hafren.livejournal.com 2008-05-09 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
So they are... it's hard to remember because several places in Norway, notably Bergen, have simply gone with the flow and produced loads of penguin souvenirs!

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2008-05-09 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
Ha! Like those cards with polar bears and penguins when really they're a world apart.
