Vaguely Escherian

Or should I call it Lines and Glass? From the summer. Nothing much going on here in Kuwait as it is the work week now. I tried it in black and white but it wasn’t too interesting. Perhaps if I spent a lot of time on the black and white, but this version with colours [...]

I took this photo of the birds in a pet store with the camera phone. A bit of a challenge as the birds move and the phone is very slow to focus, but as it is like most point and shoots with a small sensor you can easily get close for photos. This is also [...]

These are taken with the camera phone. There was so much rain that I put the big camera in a waterproof back in the backpack. And I just carried the phone in a small plastic bag in my chest pocket, readied it while in the bag and took it out very briefly for the photos [...]

Olympic Oval

Olympic Oval

I was at the University after a very valuable visit to the Running Injury Clinic and popped in to the oval for a few photos. It is a regular stop for the tourist groups. In the past I’ve skated on the oval a few times. It’s fun!

Hiking in Kananaskis

Beautiful hike in Highwood Pass up to the col at the base of Mount Tyrwhitt. I did not ascend to the peak as that is a more serious undertaking, a scramble up loose exposed slopes. One thing for certain, this isn’t Kuwait! A map on Sportstracker is here. Note, click on the S button to [...]
