Taken during a photo stop, a view back to our bus for scale of a waterfall near the Captain William Moore Bridge north of Skagway, Alaska, in 2023. We drove from the port on this road, over the Canadian border, then hopped on a narrow gauge train to make the scenic return trip on the other side of this gorge.

For #MeerMittwoch here's Cap Salou, Spain in 2012. A week's holiday by the sea gave me lots of chances to take photos along this coastline which was interestingly rocky with quiet bays near our hotel but gave way to long, golden beaches nearer Salou and Cambrils.

Started looking into instructions for installing Linux on an old laptop gathering dust in our spare room before catching myself. Whoa there, boy! Steady on! You've only been on Mastodon for three years. Let's not rush into this whole Linux cult thing.

My family took in foreign students in the 1980s, most of whom were French, Spanish, or German, but these two were Russian. Viktor on the left, Konstantin on the right (Kostya, as he liked to be called; and his English was flawless). This was taken at a Friday night out at Portsmouth Greyhound Stadium, late 1980s, where the boys were getting an education in gambling on dog-racing from my family.

For #FotoMontag and #MountainMonday here's a shot from this day five years ago when we visited Peru for the first time. This is the view from the Inca ruins of Tambo Colorado looking south towards a dry-looking, low mountain range. The weather was decidedly scorchio! on this day. We went through so much water.

Claire emerged in times of extreme stress. No blood, but a brief moment of agony as the skin split. It was everything at that moment not to scream and clench the fist, and it was everything in the moment after not to direct Claire at the threat and let her feast.

Graham stared at his palm and glanced up at the two kids who'd pulled the knives. They'd seen his face twist and they'd flinched when his hand contorted. They ran, and Graham let out a breath.

Sorry, Claire, not today,
