Seals and Sea Lions, Antarctica, Saturday 20, November 2023

I lied. There are no Sealions, only Seals. Also no walrus.

I am not a marine biologist, so any identification here is my bad memory of what someone else said. To me all of them look like large slugs on the beach. Still, to see them in their own place is a rare treat.

My last post was a lot of talking, and not much photos. This time I will mostly shut up and let you look at the photos

I have listed this fellow on happywhale.com
More about them later

While the penguins keep their distance from the seals at sea,
on land they seem to have no issue with them

Some times, they just look like the rocks

's-Hertogenbosch June 2024

I came to Den Bosch for the Bosch Parade. I don't think one can understand the parade without understanding the town, and vice versa. The experience deserves a post all of its own, so I will do this in two linked posts. This is not some of my best photography, but the experience was one that I wanted to share. As usual, I fight to make Blogger behave. Perhaps in the next few years we might make a meet up trip for Den Bosch and the parade. Contact me if you might be interested. First off, the name. 's-Hertogenbosch or Den Bosch. Just accept that how ever you say it you are gonna be wrong. The Dutch language, along with the Dutch mind set, is totally inexplicable and unexplainable, and totally charming. Like wise "Holland" or "Netherlands" is going to trip you up. Both words describe the same place, but have subtle differences that really don't matter much, except to those people that it does but don't worry yourself about it The town goes by ...

A Day in Stockholm

I spent a marvelous day in Stockholm in June 2024. I stayed two nights while on my way to Finland to go on the epic Svalbard expedition, but more on that in a future post. To me, getting there is half the fun, and these side trips are a major part of the fun. I have been taking a brief respite from posting. Illness and overwhelm, you know the story. But with a new summer of travel ahead, I must get back on the horse. This post is mostly a photo dump of my brief stay in Stockholm. I rate my visits in relation of would I go back or not. I do hope to go back and experience more of what this city has to offer. As usual, the computer has interesting ideas on how to change up my layout. Click any photo to see a larger version and have a slide show and skip what little verbiage I have added. I stayed in a Scandia Hotel. Think Marriott's or the Hilton in Swedish. A pretty standard high rise commercial hotel. And some times that is just what one needs. The breakfast...

Morris in the Borders

Imagine you are driving in far rural Midwales. Narrow, hedge lined roads with barely enough room for two cars to pass in the wide spots. You come around a curve to the top of a hill. You reach a cross roads, you find a group of mad men, in tatters, brandishing sticks. Women with hankies frolicking. Ignoring the threat of rain. The Bettwys Triangle Art and Music with The Shropshire Bedlams and Martha Rhoden's Tuppenny Dish. What can you do, but park and watch . An old church, with beautiful carved headstones. The rain held off until the last crack of the sticks then it poured.
