Took the opportunity to take a few pics of the city skyline.
Still more of my Marseille visit to attend the IUCN meeting - beautiful city, wish I had more time to explore.
Dieses Foto entstand eigentlich aus Frust. Mitten in der Trainingsvorbereitung auf ein Radrennen, ging meine Hinterrad kaputt und so konnte ich an diesem Tag nicht trainieren. Deshalb war ich gezwungen meine Freizeit anders zu gestalten und ging zur Warschauer Brücke. Eigentlich für den Sonnenuntergang, aber die blaue Stunde war wesentlich schöner und deshalb lade ich dieses Bild hoch.

In Austin Texas last week for meetings and managed to slip away in the evening for a little photography - caught this shot of the city skyline reflected in the Colorado River.

Last minute decision to head to New Orleans with my family for Christmas and I do mean last minute! It all came together for an awesome time. Spent the time eating too much, drinking too much & listening to too much jazz...nah that's not possible. Some of the best music you hear is right on the street. A shot here from Frenchman's Street. A non-traditional Christmas that we will not forget!
