Town, boat, night…from the far bank.

Catching up.
Sunset from the beach at Comporta a few nights ago
And Alcácer do Sal from over the River Sado yesterday evening,
And tonight.
A micro Micro Meetup with @maique. The meetup was “micro” because it was short, 5 or 10 minutes, at the end of the day before we headed off for the evening. Still I am very pleased that we squeezed it in and made it happen. Thank you Maique, it was great to see you again.

Sunrise over Bristol this morning, a cold morning.
We had good Ramen here, take away. My mother’s first Ramen and she thoroughly enjoyed it.
Crocuses under a beach tree. The Downs, Bristol.
Still a little way to go, but Spring is starting to make an appearance.

I am not sure where this was taken, except that the country is India. I believe that it’s either the Lilajan River in Gaya, or the River Ganges in Patna. Like other recent photos that I’ve posted, it was taken in 1989.

Another photograph from my travels through the Indian/Chinese subcontinent between 1989 and 1990. This was taken near to Bodhgaya, Bihar state, India, possibly on the road on the way to the town. From the height of the photograph I wonder if I am sitting on the roof of a bus?

Kathmandu from across, I think, the Bagmati river. Like other photographs that I have posted this week, this was taken in 1989 during my travels through the Indian/Chinese subcontinent. Photo capture of a slide projected onto a wall.
Swayambhunath, on the edge of Kathmandu, through the mist. This photograph was taken in 1989 and is a photo of a slide projected onto a wall.
Well while I didn’t get out to see the Jaws surf break yesterday that I had spoken about, some people were surfing those monsters and others got to take photos of the day.
I did get to see some slightly smaller, though still big waves further down the coast. Plenty of people turned out to watch as well. No worth while photos of the waves though. An iPhone 13 Mini’s camera does not do them justice.

This image is a photograph of a slide projected onto the wall and then cropped and straightened in order to correct the perspective.
Travels through the Solo/Khumbu Region
Wednesday, January 11, 2023
Last night I went back through some slides from my 1989/90 travels through Pakistan, China, Nepal & India. I have numerous slides, and they are in an ill arranged mess at the moment. As I loaded up the carousel to put into the projector, I had little idea as to what I would be looking at, even whether I would recognize the images. My fears of not recognizing images were unfounded.

Listening to First Mind by Nick Mulvey 🎵
Just home from a Sound Bath. I’m feeling very relaxed now, and think that I’ll be sleeping well tonight.
We had some battery operated LED lights lying around and so I used them to decorate a small tree in the garden.
My wife bought this Advent Calendar for the grandchildren. A draw for each day. She has dropped a couple of treats into each one.
My mother kept all the letters and cards that I sent to her from my travels over the years. Now she has passed them onto me.
Maybe there is a story in there?
A visitor this morning.
A misty evening.
I am not a surfer but I am find myself in awe of the big winter swells that come to these islands. This swell was meant to have waves peaking at 20 to 30 feet. The photo and video below do no justice to the power of the ocean and the visual experience, but hopefully they will give you a taste.
I sit quietly while waiting for the final guests to arrive. We are eating soon.
A walk to the mailbox revealed the arrival of November’s collection from Field Notes.
