I think this forum has the automatic grid at 5 images but you can manually add the [grid][/grid] tag around a group of images.

I knew about the grid tag. I assumed there was an intuitive way to force a particular layout. If there is, it eluded me. I think my images sizes having too much variation is part of the problem. I got things with less distortion now, but the order is not what I would like. I will dig in to the docs and see if there is anything I can do. Maybe using the other tags will get me where I thought i would be.

I went to a lecture last night on the geology of Scotland.
It wasn’t quite what I expected, but I did learn some things:
- Apparently, Scotland (or at least its precursor) used to be at the South Pole, and gradually migrated northwards to its current position.
- In the migration, its landscape has included tropical rainforest and Sahara like desert.
- Glasgow used to be surrounded by a ring of volcanoes
- Perth used to be under 1Km of ice during the last ice age
- Britain is gradually tilting, with Scotland rising and England sinking (“Tragic”, the lecturer declared)
Photographically, I don’t know how many times I have walked past it but outside the Scottish National Portrait Gallery is this statue
This is James Hutton, who can be rightly regarded as the founder of the subject of geology.

We were doing our little conference in the Feringa Building, but around us, they were still doing A Little Sciencing. Awesome building, there’s so many cool labs there.

Finally finishing up processing images from the past 2 weeks.
I wanted to come back to the carrion and contrapose it with the first rays of sun hitting the fall leaves. Unfortunately, someone used a stick to flip it into the water after framing up a shot across the lake. I assume it was to get the dead bird out of his foreground.
It is interesting, to me, what is photographed and what is avoided.

Love the negative space in that shot.

As @hatsnp will attest, the weather hasn’t been great in Scotland, and I haven’t managed to get any autumnal pictures. Today, the light was good and I took the camera for a walk.
Pitlochry isn’t particularly large, but one can usually find something new. The first couple were taken in the cemetery at the bottom of Dysart Brae, the building used to be the town mortuary. The white house is supposedly the oldest house in the town.

A friend and I drove an hour south Thursday morning for sunrise at a state park. We ran into closed roads both outside and inside the park. More than half of the park was inaccessible. No idea what’s going on, but we managed to find a few shots from one location. The sky was crystal clear, unfortunately, but these turned out so-so OK.

That’s how I like cats, at a distance… 
The most interesting bit of Scottish geology is the fossil lake near Torridon, with what is recognized as the earliest signs of non-marine cellular life.
There is also a large meteorite impact crater buried under the Minch.

and I would like to share my very first “real” picture here. Edited with AgX (of course
