This little guy was balancing on 1 leg for almost half an hour. I learned something new today.
"Bird legs can be a major source of heat loss as they are not covered in feathers, so raising legs alternately into the warm feathers of the belly reduces heat loss of unfeathered areas"
Great pose though, junior.

Ajax and Achilles
This olpe shows a very popular subject in ancient Greece: Ajax and Achilles playing dice during a pause in the battle.
The two heroes are sitting on two cylindrical stools in front of a small table. They wear a chitoniskos decorated with a zigzag band, the cuirass, the helmet and the "knemides", or greaves, protecting their shins. With the left hand they are holding a double spear, and their shields are leant against the stools.
This subject was replicated several times by the potters with very different results from the artistic point of view.
On the base of the table on which they are playing, the following boustrophedon inscription is incised: ΝΕΟΚΛΕΙΔΕΣ ΚΑΛΟΣ.

My penultimate ride behind a Hoover on the Mule - 50046 arrives at Basingstoke on the 14.22 Exeter-Waterloo to take me to the terminus on 3 September 1991. "Ajax" didn't last much longer, being withdrawn less than 6 months after this date.

Ajax had a superior tail. He was an Oriental Short Hair from championship lines. We adopted him from a woman who was marrying a man with allergies to cats. Ajax was with us for about a year. He suffered a sudden aortic saddle embolism in February two years ago. We miss him.
This was taken in 2005, before I had a digital camera. It was taken with my OM1. I scanned a glossy print and did some touch up with PhotoShop 7.0. Unfortunately, the negative is lost. I hope it will turn up as I continue my spring cleaning.
This shirt is the most beautiful in Holland and looks smashing on anyone. I have combined it with matching white stockings and red pumps.
Op 3 juli 2013 kwam de 2125 op straat met zijn reclame voor Ajax. Voordat de wagen in dienst kwam op lijn 16 werd een ronde door het centrum gereden. Hier staat de wagen op het Frederiksplein.
High numbers of single truck trams were gainfully employed to move large crowds of Ajax football supporters. Eindlus Watergraafsmeer 1964.
