Hiya!
Here's another photo from my Norway holiday -
Isn't it pretty? I never thought I would call anything with oil rigs on it 'pretty'...
This photo makes me laugh because of the story behind it.
When I first saw the oil rigs, I literally freaked out. I ran out onto our balcony and nearly dropped my camera into the sea.
A few weeks earlier, I'd just learnt about oxidation and reduction in chemistry, in terms of the loss and gain of electrons. My teacher told us a way of remembering it:
OIL RIG.
Oxidation Is Loss, Reduction Is Gain.
And so, the nerd in me screamed, and I freaked out over some plain old oil rigs because of chemistry.
I'm a weird child.
I just remember being so excited and thinking it would be so cool to show my friends this.
And that is why I laugh at myself whenever I see this, and facepalm.
I'm surprised the photo actually turned out okay, what with all my freakery :D

I love you
