Een groep grotere kinderen volgen lessen in een hut.
Vandaag onderwijzen de leraars 'Engelse les'. Een leraar geeft les, de andere leraar verbetert de huiswerken van de leerlingen in een andere hut. Eén voor één komen de leerlingen bij de leeraar, zijn er fouten dan worden die besproken, is alles juist dan gaan ze bij de 'chefs' van het dorp, die onder de baobab wat keuvelen. Daar krijgen de kinderen dan een stevige handdruk en een aanmoediging om nog meer te studeren!
Met aandrang vroegen de chefs en de leraars om wat financiële bijdrage voor het bouwen van een nieuwe school en voor de aankoop van studiemateriaal.

About once a month, or sometimes less often depending on our schedules, I meet up with two of my friends that I used to work with at the animal ER. Lately, we've met at Olive Garden because they have some healthy choices on the menu. We talk about everything from the mundane to the serious, mainly catching up with each other. Lots of laughs and sometimes tears, but always great to connect with them again. I'm always worried I'll embarrass them with my camera, but they say they don't mind. Tonight I shot this as we were leaving.
Used Kim Klassen's She Loves You Yeah texture.

Didn't bring the suit because it was less than 75 degrees. Since she wanted to swim so badly, my cousin let her get in with just her underwear on.
We had an interesting stay at the Madeley Court Hotel.... Beautiful to look at from outside but if you get allocated room No.8 you may come away as we did, less than satisfied would be an understatement!
I booked and paid for 2 rooms over the internet months in advance as it was for my Son's wedding and my elderly parents were coming with us. I paid extra for a 2 night stay in large ground floor rooms overlooking a lake in this 16th century former manor house, one of the best hotels in Telford according to the website! What I got was a very creepy and appalingly tiny attic room at the top of the house which was a nightmare to come back to late at night. They'd sold my 2 lake side rooms to someone else apparently, with no apology from the staff! Thankfully my parents decided not to come at the last minute as my Dad wasn't well enough for the journey.... he'd never have managed the stairs if he had come!
The stairs and narrow passageways to get to the room were scary and badly lit at night and the floor of my bedroom was on such a slope that I spent the night sliding down the bed and pulling myself back up (no joke)! In the morning the hot water didn't reach the attic so all I got was a rattle and bang from the pipes, again the staff were quite uninterested and well aware that the room didn't get water! Not good when you're off to your Son's wedding! I ended up boiling a kettle for some warm water and getting washed in the tiniest corner sink I've ever had to use, thankfully I hadn't planned on washing my hair but a shower would have been nice! No apology from the hotel... their reply to my verbal and written complaints... 'it's an old building what can you expect, let us know next time you're staying and we'll try to do better'.... Ehmmm NO I don't think so!!
Less stilted version as it's free handed rather than over an image transfer. Same colours - burnt sienna, phthalo blue and white. I like the colours a lot better in this one.

Over winter break my family and I visited one of the most amazing states in the country, Hawaii. As we toured around the island of O’ahu we came across a crater known as Hanauma Bay. The tour guide, “Cousin Paul”, explained to us that this beautiful place was covered in coral reefs, thus making it one of the most popular tourist destinations on the island. With three million tourists visiting the bay per year and the use of dynamite in 1956 to clear portions of the reef for telephone poles, it is beginning to deteriorate. Due to suffering from much overuse and abuse, tourists looking to snorkel around the reef are given rules and regulations that they must follow in order to help preserve it. “Cousin Paul” told us that many tourists don’t follow the rules and pointed to snorkelers who were standing on the reef and trying to touch different organisms.
In the movie “Home” it is mentioned that, “corals are born from the marriage of algae and shells. Coral reefs cover less than one percent of the ocean floor but they provide a habitat for thousands of species of fish, mollusks, and algae. The equilibrium of every ocean depends on it.” Coral reefs are also mentioned in chapter 12 of the textbook Essential Environment not only for showing biodiversity but also as a shoreline protector and a photosynthesis performer. It goes into detail about how important coral reefs are for the environment and how they are experiencing an alarming decline worldwide mainly through “coral bleaching”, partially due to ultraviolet radiation, and “ocean acidification”. Delicate reefs require lots of light and oxygen along with clear water, low nutrients, and a stable salt content. Unfortunately, due to all these needs, human activities such as deforestation, fishing, pollution, careless recreation and nutrient runoff.
With deforestation, rainwater runs off into the ocean carrying various natural elements and different kinds of toxins that adds to the sediment forming in the ocean. Fertilizer runs off into the water bringing more nutrients into the ocean. The fertilizer increases the growth of certain plants due to high levels of nitrogen. The plants that grow with the high levels of nitrogen cause a reduction of diversity. This can lead to algal blooms that can smother parts of coral reefs. Algae block the sunlight required for the coral to complete photosynthesis. This problem is occurring in the Caribbean, Florida Keys, Thailand, and Australia. The coral reefs of Hawaii have not seen this problem yet, but if they aren’t in human’s minds during particular activities the reefs will bare more destruction.

It's now become part of our travelling calendar - we go on a city break for Jayne’s birthday in January - no presents for birthday's and Christmas, we travel instead. This year it was Seville. We had to drive 180 miles south to Stansted to fly there though, Friday afternoon on the A1, such fun... It was a really good drive down in actual fact, the best day for months, glorious blue sky and a fantastic sunset- and I was in a car. We got stung for tea and drinks in the Radison Blu but we were overnighting and leaving the car so we didn't have much choice. Ryanair aagh! Again no choice. To be fair to the abrasive Irish man O Leary things are better than they used to be and it was an acceptable flight.
We were hoping for better weather than we got- don't you always? It was. cold, windy and after some initial beautiful sun on our first afternoon, it was mostly grey. The wind died but so did the sun. The other little problem was that it was my turn for the awful cold that Jayne had been trying to get over. I was under the weather in more ways than one all week, it was only a cold but it was the worst I've had for ages and it didn't help my mood, particularly when the sun was absent. We had a few hours of really nice light here and there and I made the most of it - I think!
Seville has miles and miles of narrow cobbled streets, they seem to go on for ever. They are almost random in layout and it is extremely difficult to find your way around, it's easier to just keep walking and see what you find. So we did! The architecture is stunning and the history is fascinating. Aside from the ancient history the two events that seem to have had a massive recent influence are the Expo's of 1929 and 1992. The incredible buildings or 'Pavilions' that were built for a one off event are now part of the reason that people visit the city. The 1929 pavilions are fantastic, each one is a story in itself and a destination in its own right but there are a lot of them in Parque Maria Luisa. Plaza Espana, built by the hosts of course, is the biggest and I would imagine that you could make a project out of photographing the individual ceramic tile displays around it on their own. These incredible buildings really need the light to be right to get images that people want to see, flat bright light from bright grey skies is good for certain things but dramatic architecture deserves better - or maybe I'm looking for the easy way option. The other discovery that we made, we found just down the road from the hotel, about an hour into the trip – The Metropol Parasol. A giant lattice work parasol, apparently called ‘The Mushrooms’ locally and apparently the world’s largest wooden structure. You have to look twice, having discovered that it is wood. Only later did we discover that we could get to the top and there is an extensive walkway around the top of it. It is built on top of ancient ruins, ( still intact and viewable) a food market and bars etc. and has a plaza around it and on it, that is buzzing on weekend evenings. Walking around the top, the first people up it one day and being back to watch the sunset later was one of the highlights of the trip for me.
The 1992 Expo also covered a massive area but left behind lots of modern - and some very strange - buildings and arenas. Some are of a temporary nature and get dismantled others find a new use. The land used was on an island between two branches of the River Guadalquivir – Isla de la Cartuja. The branch that goes through the city is now a canal, blocked at its northern end by a barrier with a motorway on it, and is used extensively for water sports, mainly rowing. Many of the buildings are now used by private companies as headquarters , others have a very derelict look. The whole area- even though it is home to the theme park- which was shut for the winter, has a neglected air about it. There are weeds growing everywhere but fountains are switched on, which seemed odd. Unlike the city a short distance away, there are no cafes or bars or other people around for that matter, just us meandering through. The car park that was created for the event is massive, it stretches for miles, and I really mean miles. Totally derelict, just the odd person or dog walker around. There is even a railway line terminating here, in the middle of nowhere a modern and apparently unmanned station, like a ghost station. At this point, across the river proper is open countryside, much flatter than I expected and very easy for local walkers and cyclists to get to - also very calm and quiet, a place to linger and enjoy the peace.
As usual I researched and discovered as we walked, we averaged around 13 miles a day and tried to get off the beaten track. We were out around 8.15, before sunrise, and had orange juice, coffee and Tostada with the locals for breakfast. The trouble is that there are many miles of walking in a relatively small area, some streets are only a few feet wide so there are a lot of them to explore. Incredible ancient churches and squares are around every corner- it's a very religious place - Catholicism rules in Spain. Unfortunately many are only a few feet away from the building next to it and it is difficult to get a decent shot of them. Seville is also famous, historically, as a producer of ceramic tiles. A building isn’t complete without a tile display of some sort and it would be very easy to make a project out of tiles alone. It may be a little boring for any companions though!
We walked the length of the embankment a couple of times, it has graffiti from end to end, several miles of massive concrete walls covered in everything imaginable, from marker pen scribbling to works of art. It was suggested to me that allowing people to paint here might prevent them from daubing property and monuments in the city- it hasn't! Most alleyways and shutters have been attacked to a greater or lesser degree. Spain has very high youth unemployment and maybe this plays a role. To be truthful though we haven't seen a city that's free of graffiti. The other problem is dogs- or what they produce, it's everywhere, absolutely everywhere, in a week we saw only one person remove his dogs mess. Fortunately the city streets are cleaned exceptionally well, some of the cleanest we have come across, men (and a lot of women) and machines are washing and sweeping endlessly.
Having had the wettest winter on record at home - almost three months of rain - we didn't want more rain but we got it. The upside was the water and the reflections that it created made photography on the cobbled streets more interesting, particularly at night. I usually find that it takes me a while to get into the groove on a trip and this one was no different, I didn't start shooting with total disregard - street shots- for a couple of days. Whilst the locals wore quilted jackets and scarves we got down to tee shirts at times, the warmer afternoons would be welcome in summer, never mind January, in Huddersfield. I envied the cyclists, being able to train in temperatures like this in winter - I wish! You need a lot less willpower to get out there and train hard in pleasant weather.
From a photography point of view I had a frustrating time, I never felt to get to grips with the place- other than on the streets at night. Writing this on my phone on the flight home, I haven't a clue what I've got to work with when I get back. I usually edit first and write later. Generally I have a first look, I'm disillusioned, I then revisit and see things differently- thankfully! Architectural shots with a grey sky could be destined for the monochrome treatment, we'll soon see. I'm still editing stuff from our London trip before Christmas, it's getting decent views in black and white and I quite enjoy looking at them myself.
We visited most of the notable tourist destinations, and went up anything that we could. Seville doesn't have a high point-it's flat! Nothing really stands head and shoulders above the city. The Cathedral tower is over 300 feet but the Cathedral itself fills a lot of the view on some aspects. Being square and having to look through bars in recesses you don't really get a completely open aspect. A new 600 foot tower is close to being finished, it's an office block and I couldn't find any mention of it being a viewing point in the future.
Oranges were the last thing on my mind when I suggested going to Seville. There are 25000 orange trees in Seville and now is the time that they are laden with big-and sour- Seville oranges, they are everywhere, apparently they are the property of the city authorities and will be harvested and sent to the UK to be made in to marmalade at some point in the near future. These trees will soon be covered in fragrant blossom, the city will smell beautiful for a couple of months. Studying the surrounding area it would be good to tour in March or April I would think, the scents, longer days and better weather would make for a fantastic trip. One for the future. The sunrise on our final morning was the best of the week, this was what we had looked forward to, we had to leave for the airport at 9.00...... Needless to say it was raining hard as we drove the last twenty miles home. Nothing new there then.
As usual I have aimed to present a pretty extensive collection of photographs of our chosen destination, some, at first glance will be pretty mundane shots of everyday life on the streets, often though, close inspection will reveal something humorous, something that needs a bit of thought. Others are definitely just people going about their holiday or work. Travelling with someone else it wouldn’t be fair to spend an inordinate amount of time trying to nail the perfect long exposure or HDR image of a cathedral or similar in perfect light – the one stunning shot to add to the portfolio- it’s not really my thing, I go for an overview of the place in the time available. Looking at the postcards locally it becomes obvious that stunning shots of some of these buildings are hard to come by. Heavily corrected converging verticals were quite obvious – and most likely will be in my own shots. As the owner of tilt and shift lenses I never travel with one – ever! My knees are already creaking from the weight of the bag.

Less than a month after the Hannukah Eve. storm on December 14, 2006, we had another major windstorm on January 7, 2007.
This is that storm, and this is U.S. Highway 101 @ Shelton Springs Road adjacent to Sanderson Field.
