This is some kind of record! I guess the LSD injection system of the Rolls Royce turbine engine is a pretty well guarded secret after all. :D

It's no longer a well guarded secret now that it has been revealed! :)

PS. It's an excellent and colourful image.

This APOD reminded me of a couple of pictures i took a little while ago when everything had a thin coat of ice on it.

This first one looks rather normal.

The second one was taken right after but at a slightly different angle.

It is only logical that it must have been so.

Indeed. Any other answer would have been most illogical.
