I just realized, I'm entering some photos into an art show at my sailing club. I don't know if they'll sell - if people are interested in abstract nautical images. I could use you guys as alpha testers!

And its high time for varnish on that marina dock. And for non skid: one coat then sprinkle sand. Let dry then 2nd varnish coat

And when she gives you that look: Ok that was staged but she's for real and good backup around here. Had a little problem with this other Thai lady today, and one phone call from my girlfriend , Neng 39. Problem gone.

Noice! That look seems to be a universal property of teenage daughter objects:

Ok, another flower, if I may...
...I got pleased with the light (and, actually, lack thereof*) in this one.

Purple Cape Marguerite daisy:

* I've realized that my own favorite flower shots are actually those where the flower(s) are unevenly lit, like here (part in direct sunlight, part in shadow).

Just back from a marvelous trip to Tatra mountains

Lomnica peak:

Lake Morskie Oko

Debris (around 10m thick) from an avalanche a few years ago ...

Some advice:
- take mountains seriously. That pic above is about winter: but even now, the rescue helicopters made trips up the mountains a few times a day
- any cam will worth nothing if you forget to pack the charger... :headbang:

Very informative. Avalanche debris is something I had not thought about before. I'm used to seeing videos of snow coming down an open area. Hadn't thought much about when it hits the tree line.

These big bright flowers showed up in the hood recently:

I entered the feared maze yesterday...

It was tough, but I managed to get out without too much extra items in my cart
(I bought some extra art frames in case I would need them

).

Behold the citadel of temptations...

1 - IKEA - The citadel of temptations.jpg

...yellow and blue are the colors of cheap indulgences...

...oh no, I'm lost! And there are so many items to look at... :nb)

Aah, I finally found the escalator to freedom... I will soon again breathe the fresh air of economic moderation. Free at last!

Sorry for the boring photos, I just wanted to have some fun in this post

Getting past the roaming minotaur can be a challenge. :oldbiggrin:

Only in Thailand: Haven't heard from my regular girlfriend Neng for 3 days - mmmm? So I meet this Thai lady at the bus stop and invite her for seafood in Jomtien and photos at the getaway.
