The little square compound in the desert where I lived 40yrs ago. It's all gone now, and the entirety of this location is built up. Such is the pace of progress in Dubai.

The B&B in Zakopane I stayed in, overlooking the mountains (not difficult in Zakopane, it's surrounded by them). I had never experienced such cold, even the warm beer didn't help.

Some images from Krakow in December 2009. A freezing night on my birthday walking back from a bar I took my camera out of my pack and rested it on a stone wall. I don't remember much else, it was cold and I was pretty boozed. #photography

Oh God

In July you can't ever imagine it being cold again, and just like that, it's here. It's still early enough that there's a lot of moisture around in the mornings; when meteorological winter arrives it's much drier.

@checkervest Someone did John Le Carre in the style of the MCU

This still from the ROV dive on the Lexington wreck is amazing. Very little oxygen at that depth, and the preservation of the paint on this F4F is remarkable, look at the little cat mascot, and the kill flags. Both look like they were painted yesterday.

I don't much care for celebrities, but I really liked Bourdain, he had integrity and character. It's a tragedy he had to swim in waters that eventually drowned him. There is no room for good people in entertainment.

Yesterday's rant about the state of my lenses...this is what they get like in less than a day.

The world is incomprehensible and dire sometimes, but not you Fedi people. You're lovely.

Eh...why not.
