I found these wonderful photos amongst my late father's possessions. He was called Bob Ryan and worked in Robinson & Cleavers . The photos show flooding in Belfast in 1903 in Donegall Square. The note attached to them was sent by his work colleague Jack Herriot and reads as follows. "Bob, you remember these photos of R&C. Someone gave you or me them. Floodwater in 1903 taken taken from the same spot probably using a camera by Rodman who were opposite the Irish Bank at the time. Note the little straw hat on the girl with the can. Odd that nowadays in B&H Cafe waitresses wear similar bonnets." Submitted by Kevin Ryan

Ray Leigh from Sweden says: Well we have pictures (above) of an object that hovered for around 20 minutes above Linkoping on September 21st this year. Certainly not a planet, weather ballon or an aircraft. But who is interested in another " nutter". Problem is unless one falls to the ground who is going to believe it?

This photograph was taken at Killymoon Street Cookstown on 29 October 1.30pm. I was working in my office when all of a sudden I heard this bang. I looked out the window and saw this car sitting in our lawn. Apparently the driver tried to avoid sliding into the back of another car and decided our garden would be a softer landing spot; so she drove over our wall and landed her car in it!! Nobody was hurt and the car has been safely ‘lifted’ out. Picture by Liam Currie

..and the right way up again

This greylag goose was captured by wildlife photographer Brian McFarlane in a manoeuvre known as whiffling' - June 2009

This is the moment a goose was caught performing an extraordinary upside-down contortion as it battled to land in heavy winds.

The bird was captured by a wildlife photographer flying with its neck twisted 180 degrees and its body seemingly facing the wrong way.

The manoeuvre may look painful but it is a known tried and tested way of braking, called whiffling.

In amazing twists and turns, birds spill air out of their wings and can slow down rapidly and reduce height. The results, however, are not usually this extreme.

This bird, a greylag goose, was photographed as it came in to land on a freshwater lake at an RSPB reserve in Strumpshaw, Norfolk. It was captured by wildlife photographer Brian McFarlane (73) who said he couldn’t believe his eyes.

“I cannot believe how this goose got into such an incredible position. It was a windy day and it was making life difficult for the birds. Some were more expert at controlling their flight while others were tossed around in mid-air.”

Paul Stancliffe, of the British Trust of Ornithology said he had seen the extraordinary move many times in 36 years of bird watching. “I have, however, never seen a photograph of a bird in mid-whiffle like this. It is an amazing photograph.”

Mr Stancliffe said whiffling makes the bird “drop like a stone so that they instantly lose height”.

“They look like they are out of control but they are actually very much in control,” he added.
