Why Geography?

Lovely introduction to part of Geography. Thanks to @mrgeog for highlighting this one.

Olympic torch comes to Carrick

Well done to Ryan for running with the torch today. Olympic fever hit Maybole early this morning and it even stayed dry for the event! It seemed that all of the town came out to see the runners.

In the summer time.

Earthquake in Italy

After the first 'quake

The aftershock did this.

The magnitude-6.0 quake struck in the middle of the night, about 35km (22 miles) north of the city of Bologna. An aftershock of 5.1 caused more buildings to collapse. The aftershock destroyed a clock tower. The tremor forced many terrified residents into the streets.More than 3,000 people were later evacuated from their homes amid fears of fresh tremors.Northern Italy is frequently rocked by little earthquakes. More information from the BBC here.
