Here is my candidate as being almost quite good. In fact it is two painstakingly joined.
Taken up in the mountain at Skurdalsvatn in 2000.
Though this one takien in Warsaw in November 2006 is not bad:
I know there are several good photgraphers here, and it would be nice to see some of you best efforts if you feel inclined to share!

Thanks to the kids for this birthday present, we finally got a decent enough series of days to risk booking. We went in about 18:00 ish some haze and lowering sun prevented super long range views, QE2 bridge ,North Downs easily spotted but there is so much to see nearby, most enjoyable.
Not sure I was prepared for actually feeling the building move or how close the planes for LCA seemed to come.
What is it?
Audi A3 e-tron.
What is it?
A butterfly or possibly a moth.
Steve J,
Well done. Tis the Lime Butterfly (Papilio demoleus or so I a told). I found this one in my garage.
This happened yesterday.
You need to be a wine-person to realise. There is a story.

Returned by a customer. No tasting note from me, put it that way. Although we have all had a try, and indeed a photo-opportunity (below).
One empty, one almost all there, both apparently oxidised on opening (five weeks ago). This is a valued expert client whose opinion we trust, and so we will refund him both. Frankly he is better placed to know what such a wine is supposed to taste like than any of us.
However the full-ish one has been held under vacu-vin and in the fridge ever since (apart from a road journey back from Corsica over the weekend) and I have to say, oxidised on opening or not, there is not a trace of vinegar, and the depth and complexity is still readily apparent. But while I was happy to drink a small amount, it is a shadow of whatever its former-self was. At least I imagine so. There's no way of knowing whether it/they was out of condition on pouring or not (the bottle on the left does indeed have bits of cork stuck to the side and the rest is in very small bits).
A crying shame in any case, but as I said (unlike a similar incident last year) this is a customer who we keep happy at all costs.
In fact, I know that after trying these two, they switched instead to a case of the 1998 for dinner that night, and drank them all...
I am perfectly sure I have contravened some code of conduct with this!
