Went for a walk because it’s raining in Rawalpindi and the cricket hasn’t started. Photographing with Hipstamatic again ๐Ÿ“ธ ๐Ÿ˜„

A rustic wooden fence stands in front of a small stream and rocky area surrounded by dense, leafless vegetation.A brick labeled TANYBRYN ABERDRE is partially submerged in a rocky, water-filled environment.A rusted, cylindrical metal object lies on wet, rocky ground surrounded by clear water.A serene lake surrounded by bare trees reflects a cloudy sky, with a distant hill and power lines visible in the background.A wheelbarrow sits on a muddy hill overlooking a landscape with leafless trees and a cloudy sky.A muddy path meanders through a leafless forest area, with a fallen fence lying across it under a cloudy sky.A scenic view of a valley with green fields and hills under a cloudy sky, illuminated by sunlight breaking through.A solitary tree stands on a distant hill under a blue sky, reflected in the calm waters below.

This package from Finland worried me slightly ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ’ฟ๐ŸŽต

Auto-generated description: A wrinkled paper package features a radioactive symbol, several Finnish addresses, a cartoon snake, and text in Finnish alongside contact details for a business.

According to Google Translate the text by the snake means: REMEMBER, NEVER BE FOOLED!

Despite reading a number of very bad reviews of this film I quite enjoyed it as a sci-fi/fantasy spectacle. I intend to watch the next part.
