Silent start of 2024 - 2024-01-01, day 915

A slow start of 2024 - I hope that this continues for the rest of the year, but I don’t have high hopes.

A tranquil snowy landscape with fence posts casting shadows on the undisturbed snow, illuminated by soft sunlight.


The small house - 2023-12-31, day 914

What can I say … a bit chilly in winter, a bit warm in summer.


Hidden - 2023-12-30, day 913

Sometimes things disappear, or almost disappear, in the winter.


Bad design - 2023-12-29, day 912

Here is an example of bad design: this the door of a modern car, not perfect, but it mostly works

This is apparently how a car door should look today (but I hope it just my cars)

This a really bad design! Why, you might ask … well low at how the door is placed beside the roof, instead of below & beside as in top picture (the best way is below the roof). Still don’t see the problem? Well, imagine that is snowing, white, fluffy, light snow … where does it end up? Yep, in the that huge “ditch” between the door and the roof.

“Huge, it’s really small”

Nope, it isn’t, you see they have created a “pocket” between door and the roof. I assume it is so that water can flow there.

“So???”

Snow doesn’t flow

“??”

Since the snow is hidden in that pocket it can’t be brushed away.

“Yes??”

This is the result of opening the door, this is actually less than normal

As I said, really bad design. Or perhaps a sign that the people who designed the car never used when it was snowing


Being late - 2023-12-28, day 911

I didn’t get out until after 13 which meant that todays walk was a low-light walk


Visiting mum - 2023-12-26, day 909

Sunset where my mother lives


Trying to help - 2023-12-17, day 900

Trying to help by taking Albus for an afternoon walk. This my 900th daily photo in a row, my goal was 200 … I think I managed to complete the challenge

Morning walk - 2023-12-15, day 898

12 photos from a morning walk at the university


On assignment - 2023-12-16, day 899

Spent most of the day photographing two different martial arts events, this is from a competition. Biggest problem is the horrible lighting, it of course looks good for the audience, but for me it’s pretty bad.

Two ju-jutsu practitioners sparring in a competition on a red mat, with one delivering a kick and the other recoiling. Spectators are visible in the background.


Privileged - 2023-12-13, day 896

Today I was very privileged and got to do some important stuff. Taking grandchild nr 1 on a walk while grandchild nr 2 is getting a medical checkup.
