This wasn't suposed to be 'NEWS' it happens to be in the 'TRAVEL' section of the Daily Mail.

If this thread was supposed to be another of your 'Anti-Daily Mail' rants, you have failed miserably.

Word of advise Gromit, if the Daily Mail upsets you so much, stop reading it.

Nice photos !

ANOTHEOLDGIT, the link says 'travel_news' so it IS news about travel.

[Gromit]

It was on the homepage of the Daily Mail website.

Britain as you have never seen it before!
We have had aerial photography for over 100 years. Satellite imagery has been around for 50 years. Google Earth, which lets everyone view satellite images from the whole planet, has been around for about 10 years.
But appears to be a news to theis Daily Mail journalist (unpaid intern?)

Gromit

Read your link www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/

Oh and Stonehenge has been around for about 4500 years and I have never seen it like that before, and I have flown over it.

/// ANOTHEOLDGIT, the link says 'travel_news' so it IS news about travel. ///

Wrong again, the link says 'www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/'

[THECORBYLOON]

ANOTHEOLDGIT, have a look at the link and tell me, does 'travel_news' appear in it? A wee clue for you, have a peek after 'travel/' and before '/article' and then get back to me.

I am unsure what people are arguing about here. The photos are stunning ...what else is there to say ? What difference does it make which newspaper featured them ?

[Baldric]

The Link says:-

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/travel_news/article

[ummmm]

The link in the OP says /travel/travel_news/

[anotheoldgit]

Obviously a 'SLOW NEWS DAY' on the AnswerBank News Section".

[wolf63]

Boys - is there anything that you lot won't fight over? Something that you all agree about ?

Haud Yer Wheesht and play nice!

:-)

[mikey4444]

Wolfie... I have no idea what you have just said, but I agree with it !

[Canary42]

I think most posters are missing the point which Gromit apears to be making.

"never-seen-before" is obviously ridiculous hyperbole, as is one of the photo captions "The gardens are grand and the layout around the main structure planned with precision, so it could only be Windsor Castle"

But this is the Daily Mail style, which surely is Gromit's point - uncomfortable as it is to the Mail's sycophantic readers.

[bazwillrun]

Never seen before..unless you already looked on Google earth...as for news, i dont care what the links might or might not say, its hardly news as most people understand the meaning of the word....

[ummmm]

I think Wolf is saying 'be quiet'

[Maydup]

Very slow news day indeed and quite unremarkable photos.

[THECORBYLOON]

I see ANOTHEOLDGIT has nothing to say about the link so I will take it he agrees with us about the link and move on...

yeah I started for 10 and realised that Cerne was in Dorset and not Hants
