Happy Memorial Day (and thanks to all who serve on our behalf)!

It feels a bit rude to just pop in here and post a few photos without commenting on the work that comes before me. Alas, too much to do and I'm way behind.

Here are a few from this morning's parade.

Best,
Tim

Tim: Lovely capture. A fitting and minimal tribute one can offer to those
that served with honor and sacrificed their life for their country.

Thank you for sharing.

Across the street from the waterfront in my earlier post, there's a very steep bluff with houses, and apartments at the base. Some of them are pretty funky, reminiscent of when this was a "bohemian" beach area. The hill behind one has a pagoda-like gazebo, sculpture, flamingos, and a goat 9very happy looking goat)! Thanks for looking. Cheers, Matt

Jorgen: Somewhat old I might be..Anyway 'chimping' is very well documented here.

The other one is I guess you' chimping '

I won't ' chimp' the driver however excellent that photo is.

Jorgen, please let's have some more of those chimping shots.

Grandpa, what did you do in Praha? asked Mariam.
Well, it is a beautiful place; with castles, old streets, museums, music...

Did you see all those places? says Mariam. No, your grandma did.

Are the people nice, grandpa? Of course, sweetheart..if you get close and
start talking to them. I said.

Mariam, do you think I am old? Nooooo!

Neither did some of others. get close. say ' Hi '. Jorgen, my friend...no need to chimp!!

Steen, excellent. You really make me miss the Danish summers. I spent almost every summer holiday of my life in Denmark, until I moved here.

To compensate, I watch the going round and round in circles... beetles are fun.

Jorgen: As Steen mentioned..brilliant panning. perfect example on how to
do it right.

[Jorgen Udvang]

Thanks both of you. It took me a while to figure out how to do it right. Still my hit-rate is relatively low, but I go to the gym 2-4 times a week to practice the movement with 30-50kg counterweight. That helps a lot. Helps against other things as well
