Jetlag helps to get good pictures. I woke up at 4 in an ice-cold morning in January and decided to walk down from 3rd to 30th street instead of trying to sleep. I had a lot of great impressions of Philly and have seen many tough early risers on their way to work.
It is daytime inside St Michael's church, Llanfihangel. There were three or four bats flying up and down the church, occasionally going into a dark attic at one end of the church, but regularly coming out again. Remarkable.

Taken during a jetlag induced early start to Saturday morning on the 26th April 2014, an early stop off an hour before sunrise on the hills of Sausolito overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco, with the changing colours in the sky as the transition from night to day rolled along, with the sun finally breaching the hills in the distance and flooding the bay area with colour.
%#&* jetlag made me get up at 5.30 this morning. This is Beach Bar, Newcasle, Australia around that time.
In late August of 1983, our family took a hastily-planned vacation trip to France and Italy, which began with a few days in Paris to de-jetlag, before renting a car and driving across France, and then down through Italy to Venice.
While in Paris, we went out for some walks through a mostly-empty city, and happened upon this small playground on Blvd. St. Germain. Our sons were relatively young at that point (3 and 6), so they enjoyed the opportunity to bounce around on a little coiled-spring horse that can be seen in one of the other Flickr photos in this set....
Over the years, the horse has been replaced -- but obviously the park is still here.... and while there are still children who come to play on the small rides and toys, it seems that during the week, the park's primary use is to serve as a quiet sanctuary for local office workers to enjoy a quiet lunch, and to read a book...
If you're a family member, you can access this 1983 Flickr photo to see what David and Jamie looked like while they were riding on this same little horse:

This is one of approx 260 photos that I decided were not so bad that I had to delete them and recover every wasted binary bit of storage on my computer disk ... but also not good enough to warrant uploading to Flickr as a "public" photo.
Since Flickr now provides so much storage to us picture-crazed photographers, I've decided to upload all of these "random pix" as restricted "friends and family" photos so that most of the world doesn't have to suffer through them ...
I've cropped and edited these photos, but have not gone to the additional trouble of geo-tagging them ... sorry about that.

In the spring of 2014, we came to Paris for a week of relaxed vacationing, mostly to wander around and see some old familiar places. It was a “return” trip for both of us, though in my case I think it’s probably been more than 15 years since I was even here on a business trip.
Business trips to any city don’t really count as a “visit” -- since they basically involve flying into a busy airport at night, taking a taxi to a generic business-traveler’s hotel (a Hilton in Paris looks just like a Hilton in Cairo), and then spending several days working in the hotel (if the purpose of the trip was a seminar or computer conference), or at a client’s office (also “generic” in most cases — you can’t even tell what floor you’re on when you get off the elevator, because every floor of “open office” layouts is the same). The trip usually ends in the late afternoon or evening of the final day, with a mad dash back to the airport to catch the last plane home to NYC. Thus, a business trip to Paris is almost indistinguishable from a business trip to Omaha. Or Albany. Or Tokyo.
But I did make a few “personal” visits to Paris in the 1970s and 1980s, so I looked forward to having the chance to walk through some familiar places along the Left Bank. I’m not so interested in museums, monuments, cathedrals, or other “official” tourist spots (but yes, I have been to the Eiffel Tower, just as I’ve been to the Empire State Building in NYC), so you won’t see any photos of those places in this Flickr set.
As a photographer, I now concentrate mostly on people and street scenes. The details of the location don’t matter much to me, though I do try to geotag my photos whenever I can. But for the most part, what you’ll see here are scenes of people and local things in Paris that made me smile as I walked around …
Deleted the previous post, sorry and thank you for your wishes :)
This is from archives, Split Hibiscus from my terrace. Missing flowers, leaves, butterflies, dragon-flies, insects and other green things.
One year old Leika has rapidly overcome her jetlag and her shyness and is in the main viewing area at the Calgary Zoo. She likes the warm protected cave in the front of the enclosure soaking up the sunlight which has likely baked the rocks too.
I think she is doing very well. She was sound asleep and some children went by - she woke up, checked them out, and a few moments after this photo took a HUGE relaxed stretch and snuggled down for more snooze.
She is part of the species survival plan and is already getting along with the gentlemanly Karesh.
品川の日の出 - Shinagawa Sunrise
Shinagawa Prince Hotel Annex,
Tokyo

One of the distinct advantages of jet lag is waking up at 4:30am in time to catch the sunrise reflecting off the Tokyo cityscape.

1 tháng ở Mĩ.
Cuộc sống mới không quá khó khăn như mình tưởng tượng. Mình bắt nhịp với mọi thứ khá nhanh, có chăng chỉ là jetlag tận 5 ngày :p
Nói về những trải nghiệm đầu tiên, cuộc sống ở Mĩ khác khá nhiều so với Việt Nam. Khi đén Mĩ, mình không vào dorm luôn mà ở với chị họ mình 1 tuần, cũng đủ để đi đây đó loanh quanh. Điều đầu tiên khiến mình cảm thấy ngạc nhiên là giao thông. Ở Việt Nam, kể cả có đèn đỏ, oto hay xe máy vẫn vượt bth dù có người đi bộ hay ko, tuy nhiên sang bên này, người ta nhìn thấy mình đang đợi sang đường là tự động dừng trước 2m để mình qua, đó là luật ở bên này, nhưng mỗi lần qua đường mình vẫn giơ ngón cái lên để cảm ơn họ. Hừm tiếp theo là thức ăn, tuần đầu tiên chị họ mình toàn mua đồ việt về nấu nên cũng chả thấy khác lạ mấy trừ 1 số mùi vị như phở or bún chả, điểm khác biệt là bữa sáng ăn ngũ cốc với sữa or pancake ( mình khá thích món niafy tuy nhiên thấy bảo ăn nhiều ko ổn) Cũng ăn 1 số món Mĩ như burger ( to vl luôn phải cắt đôi ra mới nhét vừa vào miệng, và ăn xong nhận ra mình ghét ớt japalenos của mex), thịt cừu ( hơi hôi), khoai tây nghiền, ức gà rán ,.. nói chung cx khống đến nỗi nhớ đồ ăn lắm. Đồ uông thì cảm giác bên này pepsi moutaindew các thứ uống ngon hơn hẳn idk hay do mình tự tưởng tượng ra .. và 1 điều tiện lợi nữa là uống nước trực tiếp từ bồn rửa bát or rửa mặt đc vì nước rất sạch, tuy có 1 ít natri cl02 nên cảm giác hơi giống uống nước rửa bồn cầu, but still really good. Không khí thì tuyệt vời cứ như là đi resort lúc ở viêt nam vậy, mình ở Milwaukee là thành phố cạnh cái hồ Michigan to vcd nên không khí nó giống như tp biển ý, gió mát, nắng, độ ẩm thấp. Milwaukee là tp có nhiều công viên gần nhất Mĩ, và đây là điều mình cực kì thích. Cả thành phố là màu xanh dịu mắt với bải cỏ dài, cây cổ thụ, à và điều hay ho là mình dẫm lên cỏ nằm lên cỏ hay làm bất kì điều gì đều được, ko như ở việt nam. Hôm thứ 2 ở Mĩ mình đi bộ ra cái cái công viên gần nhà để đá bóng, quen 1 anh người Anh thích Chelsea rồi nchuyen cả buổi nchung cx vui. Mấy ngày ở với chị kể ra cx tiện vì chị giúp đỡ các thứ đi walmart target mua đồ vào dorm, ăn uống cx thích nhưng mà ko thoải mái, tại chị là giáo viên nên làm gì cx phải để ý ko chị cáu. Xong 3 ngày trước khi vào dorm thì mình bị lật cổ chân lúc đá bóng, sợ vcd :)) may mà ko quá nghiêm trọng nên vẫn move in dorm đúng ngày.
Vào dorm cũng được 3 tuần rồi. Suitemate cũng ổn, roomate thì hơi kiểu quá nghiêm túc, đi ngủ 10h, ko party ko ồn ào thú vui hằng ngày là xịt thơm quần áo, ngắm xe cứu hỏa và học. Mình thì lại là 1 th extrovert nên là ko hợp lắm, mình hay đi xquanh các khu ở trường để chụp ảnh, ngắm nghía. QUen được mấy đứa bạn khác cũng khá hay ho. Một thằng người Malaysia đúng kiểu playboy suốt ngày đi club hút thuốc weed được cái hòa đồng và giúp đỡ mình khác nhiều hôm move in, chắc chắn mình sẽ ko baoh di party vs ông này :D Quen thêm 2 thằng Trung QUốc thân thiện, ngu ngu :)) tiếng anh chúng nó hơi bập bõm nên nghe lúc được lúc không nhưng nhìn chung thì khá vui, và tất nhiên chuyện chính trị ko đc bàn đến ở đây. Đồ ăn ở dorm ko đến nỗi tệ, thực ra cx ngon, mình hay ăn bữa sáng và trưa khá nhiều thứ, rau cỏ ko ngon nên mình bữa nào cũng múc 1 tô hoa quả mix đi kèm món chính. Mì tôm mang đi hết đúng 1 gói hôm đánh dota đêm, còn lại chả đụng vào vì căn bản mình cũng hợp món tây. Xunh quanh trường cảnh vật khá là đẹp :D mn có thể xem album, mình ko diễn tả = lời đc. À có cái sân bóng trong nhà free nữa, đây là most fav place của mình so far, mn đá bóng rất hòa đồng vui vẻ, và đá cx rất hay. Tiếp theo là học tập, mình phải học 2 lớp business, 1 lớp eng 1 lớp maths 1 lớp guitar. Đầu tiên là bus, chủ yếu là học khái niệm vốn công ty các thứ rồi rủi ro roiofi blabalba,... học thêm cả dùng excel access nữa. Maths thì dễ rồi vì học lại đạo hàm, lớp có 2 đứa là freshman còn lại toàn junior :) Guitar khá vui khá hay cô giáo rất buồn cười cô khen mình đtrai :D hơi thừa nhưng ksao yêu cô. Lớp này kiểu rất là nhẹ nhàng vui vẻ. Eng là ác mộng. Kiều 3 tiết 1 tuần, hw lúc nào cũng là đọc 10 trang, take notes, viêt essay min 2 trang, và topic khó vcl toàn greek philo với def of happiness mk,.. thế nên phần lớn tgian buổi tối mình dành để làm hw eng class huhuh thế mà hnao cx 1h ms xong.
Well so far so good, sẽ update về cuộc sống của mình sau :D
If jetlag can be good for anything, it ment that I was up and on the streets of Tokyo at 5 am trying to capture the bright signs of the city. This is a small side street in Akasaka, just as the sun was lightening up the skies, and this group of friends just walking home.
Flying from Melbourne to LAX is a long, interminable 14 hours 15 minutes. Especially when you don't have a window seat, it feels 3 times as long.
