I haven’t been posting for while. Just very busy right now primarily work, with frequent trips, in fact heading back to Munich today for another week. At least we’ll catch the tail end of October Fest. After this things should quiet down for a while, and I hope to get back to posting a little more regularly, and maybe go out for a photo shoot with the gang (not the graffiti one).

Did you know that when you have double rainbows, the color order in the second one is reversed? See for yourself.

Watching the lady admitting the riders was almost as much fun as watching the ride. Dancing and singing and inviting the crowd she no doubt was a boost to attendance.

Enjoying a couple of drinks before dinner at the Origami at 1st and 1st, we got a table at the front corner with a good view of the 1st and 1st intersection. I was astonished at the number of cars that barely stop for the stop sign. I’d say one out of ten actually stopped, with seven out ten barely stopping. Some just drove right through. Apparently that part of town must be hidden from traffic cops.

Dinner was fantastic.

Actually not really. A bright day with a blue sky, a red ship, and a little extra contrast.

At first I thought it was another part of the flower, like the green core inside the pollen pods. I guess that’s what other insects venturing into it are supposed to think also. Must work, otherwise the bug wouldn’t be doing this.

On a walk with Rob, Dan, and Mike, found these windows down a dead end alley.

The grand finale of our Aquatennial celebration, the great uuh … ahh. At least that’s what they used to call it. Our location wasn’t the best for photos (skyline in background for example), but it was convenient and not to crowded. Could have processed out some of the smoke, but that’s part of the setting.
