Lockport Caves
ByDerekToday was the first day in about three weeks where we actually had the opportunity to get out and do something fun. We decided to head up to Lockport to visit the Lockport Caves. I wasn’t really expecting much, but we were both pleasantly surprised. You get about an hour tour that gives you some…

Aquarama scrapping in hi-res

Peter Hartung, creator of the video, was kind enough to send me the hi-res versions. All photos are courtesy of Mr. Selim San, Izmir (Turkey). Click on the thumbnail to see the…

ByDerekNo, we haven’t disappeared off the face of the Earth. We have been watching Planet Earth, but that’s as inconsequential as what happened thousands of years ago before Sigourney Weaver. So here’s some stuff that has been going on: Condolences to Amanda’s friend Amy, who lost her grandmother this week Congrats to my sister, who…

Voter turnout
ByDerekActually, I don’t really know how many people usually turn out in my district, but I figure if I blog it then I’ll have a record for next time. We were #326 & #327 in Hamburg-7 and people were still lined up at 7:30pm.

From all those photographs, the one that struck me (and probably not many others) the most is the one with the bicycles all lined up. The juxtaposition of very modern with the very communist-egalitarian is a hoot. I have a similar photograph from my trip to Shanghai – hundreds upon hundreds of bicycles, all virtually identical, Schwinn-looking, rust-covered, circa 1950s. I never did find out if they were community property or individually owned, but I couldn’t imagine knowing how to tell mine from the others, had I owned one.
I guess you had to be there.

Hooters in China….. I like them more and more all the time.
Have seen many of your photos, but I don’t really remember alot of them not to say that they aren’t good but there are a few here that have really caught my eye — the black and white tree lined pathway is amazing. I also really enjoyed the sunset skyline shot and night lites shot. Very good shots Derek from what looks like an amazing place to visit.
