Marieke and Zenn

Came across the following item on BBC:

Marieke Vervoort

What an athlete, and what a life!

I noticed this picture is the news item:

Zenn

Zenn was her assistance dog.  Please see the images of M and Z:

R.I.P. Marieke.

Zenn - I am sure someone will take very good care of you.
Your place in canine heaven is assured.

A Fishy Story

Something which I told my niece in a light-hearted way has been converted by her into a nice post.
Here is the link.  Enjoy!

A Fishy Story

My Photographs 12 - Trees at Salford Quays

This has two photographs - one into the Sun, the other away from the Sun.

2019 March 25, near Lowry, Salford Quays, Manchester.

Shooting into the Sun is not a good idea.  However, here the results are not bad.
But, when you compare the two, you realise how important it is to have Mr Sun back you up!

My Photographs 11 - Sunset (almost)

2017 June 3, ~1959.

Somewhere on US64 in NC.  We were driving from Cape Hatteras Light House to Williamston.

My Photographs 10 - Sunrise from an Airplane

2016 Jan 02, ~07:01.  En route Mumbai - Vadodara.  Flight 6E567.

Photography from an aircraft is not nice.  The principal culprit is the window, which does not provide a crystal-clear view.  This window was reasonably clear, and I could hardly make out the window-effect on the photograph.

This will be followed up by at least one sunset photograph.

My Photographs 9 - Mayflowers

2007 May 19, IIT Bombay Campus

Mayflowers.  I include this photograph, expecting warmer days ahead.
Mayflowers have always fascinated me.  And IIT Bombay Campus is full of them in May.

My Photographs 8 - IIT Bombay Campus - A Dog's-Eye View

2006 September 26, IIT Bombay Campus
Around 22:30

A dog's-eye view of the street in front of my (then) home.  The camera was about 20 cm from the road surface.  This is a 15s exposure.
