No Rhythm
Trying to get caught up still after being away for a month, and I haven’t found a rhythm for my daily posts here. That will happen soon, I hope. Today just a few smiles with a Monday theme.
Northern Sunrise
Every August I take a picture of the sunrise in Old Orchard Beach, Maine. Thsy annual tradition usually involves being on the beach by six a.m. Today’s pictures are a different sunrise, thousands of miles away and an hour earlier, local time in Abu Shineina (or so the weather app on my phone described it) […]
The Oil Crisis
The price of oil regularly fluctuates on the world market. It is at more than $120 a barrel as I write this, up from below zero a couple of years ago. (If you don’t quite understand the math to that, join the club.) People are feeling the pain at the gas pumps. But there is another oil […]

More Camels
Looking through the pictures I took at the Giza pyramids, I realize that I didn’t take any of camels with the pyramids in the background. Who knows what I was thinking. It would have been an iconic shot. In my defence, I wasn’t there to see camels. I wanted to see the pyramids, and that […]
Feeling Relaxed
I can’t remember if I noted this sculpture in Mullheim’s pedestrian zone when I lived in the area. Assuming it isn’t new, I must have walked past it a couple of dozen times without stopping to consider it. The sculptor has, in my mind, nailed it. The subject of his study is happy and relaxed, […]
