PARTING SHOT

A few interesting visuals for you tonight. The first is this photo of cows on a beach in Sligo (it’s a pity they’re not pigs though – we could’ve called them ‘beach babes’).

And the second is this video of the Fourth of July fireworks across New York City, which is like something from a sci-fi movie. Enjoy.
