A couple of Andalucian village scenes. Steep steps, and flowers on the window sills, all under a clear blue sky. The sweat from the climb is usually worth it.

Wawel Castle, Krakow, December 2009. This was on my birthday, and I remember being freezing cold (-20C!) and seeing this from the banks of the Wistula, so I set my camera on the wall and let grabbed a picture. The barge thing in the foreground is a shame but I like the mood.

The sun sets over Giewont, Poland's sleeping knight. 2009, Canon 20D, EF 70-200 F4 L.

Tatra Mountains, Poland 2009. Near Zakopane. A Summer hiking in the hills is time well spent. Canon EOS 20D, efs 18-55 w/polariser.

The Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth, 2005. Really clear March day.
EOS 20D, EFs 18-55 w/polariser.

Las Vegas, late 2018. I took a walk around the strip just after sunset, before it got really busy. I like the little splash of light in the the sky in this picture.

At the other end of the train, leading it back from Frostbugh is another Dash 8, this one in the WM livery. Behind it sits the generator car, as I don't think the dash 8 can typically run passenger cars as it is a freight loco. .

An ex Norfolk Southern Dash 8 waits in Cumberland MD to lead the scenic railroad service this morning. It's a two hour ride, out and back. Very relaxing.

Granada on a wet and windy Wednesday morning. Initially I was annoyed that the person stepped into the frame, but I think it works better than the later frames with the dead space in the left.

The climate's challenges and answers in one picture. Beznar reservoir in Andalucia, just starting to recover from drought conditions, with the HEP dam in the background, and beyond that, some of Andalusia's many, many wind turbines.

Lemons - one of the most prevalent sights in this part of Andalucia - on a tree with the Sierra Nevada in the background. The only sunny day of my visit, on the morning before I left. So it goes.

Mood lighting signals sunrise on a 787-10 on the way to Amsterdam. The windows remain tinted letting no light in from the outside. It's a pretty pleasant cabin if you are able to sleep on planes.

A Delta A330-900 waits for me at E pier on a gloomy AMS morning, for the 7hr 22min flight to JFK. The A330 and A350 have this black eyeliner around the flight deck windows; it's very distinctive.

From AMS-AGP last week, somewhere over Spain. Transavia (the Dutch word for 'late', apparently) 737-800.

It is a mystery to me why someone would voluntarily put this on their car.

Leg 1 of what will be about 24hrs of travel. I won't say I'm ready because I hate leaving my family now I am an old fart, but it will be good to see dad.
