i make it back to Buffalo barely in time for work. Until 9:30, I am praying for a natural disaster to kill us all. Eric and I go to the Wellington for 30 cent wings.
Una de los atractivos y novedades que encontramos este año, en nuestras vacaciones en Roatán, es Mahogany Bay: la nueva terminal y centro de entretenimiento de los cruceros Carnival.
El año anterior, todavía este lugar se llamaba Coral Cay, con una bonita playa artificial y un atractivo parque acuático en el que destacaban los tiburones y tortugas.
Sin duda, la inversión es multimillonaria. Es un lugar estratégicamente acondicionado para que los turistas, que viajan en las inmensas embarcaciones, gasten, gasten y gasten, en recuerdos y artesanías que recuerden que estuvieron en Honduras.
Con la llegada de los cruceros, evidentemente, muchos ganan, desde taxistas, hasta hoteles y otros negocios que tienen arreglos para recibir un día o más, en la semana, grupos de viajeros.
Se escucha fuertemente, en Tegucigalpa -y otros en la isla también lo mencionan- que es inmensa la cantidad de dólares invertida en este lugar que -a no dudarlo- nos ubica en el mercado del turismo, pero también se dice que el daño causado al arrecife es mayor... que ni en cientos de años podría recuperarse...
Y es que el desarrollo, siempre, de manera invariable, traerá consigo cierto daño al medio ambiente; lo que debemos procurar, es que sea el menor impacto posible.
Ya quisiéramos los tegucigalpenses (o capitalinos de Honduras), que alguien invirtiera en un aparato como éste para hacer o aprovechar el atractivo turístico del otrora bellísimo cerro El Picacho. Durante muchos años se ha sugerido a las autoridades del Distrito Central, diseñar y ejecutar un proyecto en el que se pueda aprovechar la altura de esa montaña.
Como es obvio, no hay fondos, los políticos han dejado barrido el "tesoro", han robado sólo para ellos, sin dejar nada a cambio. Los "conquistadores" al menos, a cambio de oro, nos dejaban espejos...
A mi humilde parecer, la concesión se presta como solución o vía de financiamiento, pero este es el momento de actuar, de dejar la demagógia y la pendejada.
Following intense negotiations we've won the contract that I've been working on for the past 6 months. It's going to be a busy year as we move from talking about stuff to actually delivering it.
Random Lonsdale Quay cuteness. Hopefully will be the first of many more "people" shots to come this year - after all, it's the one area I really need to improve in.

The appliance that gets most use in my kitchen! It's a Fellow Ode coffee grinder and I love it. It won't grind fine enough for an espresso machine but I don't have an espresso machine so I don't really care. It does grind really consistently and precisely for lots of different brew methods though.
Well... Qantas may be grounded at the moment, but despite the weather here in Ballarat, the RAAF Roulettes got up in the air and put on a show in todays Project 365 photo.
They were delayed from starting their Springfest show over Lake Wendouree for a couple hours and put on what looked like a "low show" as the clouds were too low for doing loops and high aerobatics.
I've taken photos of them three times in Ballarat in the last 12 months and each time they have had issues with the weather. They did eventually manage to do a full show at the airport for the RAAF 90th birthday earlier this year though.
Still.. todays show was great (as always) anyway.
This is the Aston Villa goal keeper practising before the big game. Manchester United went on to win the game 4-1 to a packed stadium of over 75,000. The game will also be remembered for the fly-by plane which carried a banner calling for the removal of David Moyes, manager of Manchester United football club. Fair to say that most of us thought it was rude and whatever our views they shouldn't be expressed in such a way.
My favorite shoes of all time. I wear these things everywhere...I even have a second pair (brown with off-white stripes and logos).
"And we'd drink, ever notice how drinking's like war?
Cup o' troops o'er the gums
To the end of our health,
a campaign 'gainst myself
Armed with bourbons and scotches and rums"

I photographed this for the 'Our Daily Challenge' Group. The theme today (Feb 2, 2011) was "Quoted".

Segregation simulation. My 6th graders are reading "The Watsons go to Birmingham" and learning about civil rights. Taking a page from Jane Elliott (check out the documentary on PBS.org "A Class Divided: The Eye of the Storm") I cordoned off a corner of my classroom and decided to make the Greeks (simply a spirit team name, not the race) the oppressed group for the day. They had 5 chairs for ten people, about 6 square feet of space, two computers (one of which I put an out of order sign on) and were endlessly told they couldn't measure up to the Romans, plus they were given extra work they had to complete on the computer. Worked like a charm. :)
January 22, 2014 | Day 1 of 365
I am starting a 365, one photo a day project. I will be taking 1 photo a day for 365 days in my attempt to become a better photographer. Not off to a great start admittedly. I decided to go out and shoot not realizing how cold it was. I ended up treking through snow without boots. Not good. I shot this photo quickly and only realized how high my ISO was when I got back. Nonetheless it was one of the few photos I took before my fingers froze up so here it is.
