It has been a very busy, weird (someone *AHEM* had the flu), but still marvellous Christmas 'round here. I hope yours was, too (sans the flu and possibly sans weird, though weird can be fun as all get-out!). Did y'all have a wonderful holiday? I hope so!
Bit confusing - early model Enviro 300 badged as a Dennis with Alexander bodywork, but built I think in the Transbus era - so is it a Dennis, Transbus, or ADL?

The area looks a bit bleak at present but the Dun Laoghaire Ferry Terminal is to become into a new hub for technology, marine and design businesses. The proposed Harbour Innovation Campus, will house a state-of-the-art shared innovation space for local & international companies and directly inject in the region of €20 million euro into the building and local economy over the next 10 years.
From the 19th century the town was the principal passenger port for ferries between Ireland and Britain, with a frequent service to Holyhead in Anglesey, Wales. Among the ships which operated this route were 'Banshee', 'Llewellyn', 'Ulster', 'Munster', 'Leinster', 'Connaught', 'Cambria', 'Hibernia', 'Holyhead Ferry 1', 'St. Columba' and 'Stena Cambria'.
At the beginning of the 21st century the route, operated by Stena Line's Stena Explorer ran three times daily in each direction, but competition from low-cost airlines and increasing fuel costs resulted in the service being reduced to once-daily in 2008, and becoming a seasonal (summer-only plus Christmas/New Year) from 2010. From early 2015 Stena Line concentrated their Holyhead routes on Dublin Port, and withdrew the service to Dún Laoghaire.
This photo is a bit of an experiment. Having got the setting of my camera completely wrong, and having shot a RAW file badly overexposed, I wanted to check how much forgiving a RAW file really is. Whilst, considering how badly overxposed the shot was, a lot of detail has been recovered, the colors are flat as there is little shading. This is accentuated by the evident camera shake due to the very long exposure. However, I like the graphic feel that these elements conjure up to and I decided to post this 'mistake'.

More bits and pieces from a very distant relative's box of photographic goodies finally being sorted through. He was a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society.
From the autumn 2016 trip to Vietnam:
If ever there were a good way to finish up a trip, this particular Sunday in October would be it. Before arriving in Hanoi, I honestly had exceptionally low expectations. A bit like Saigon, if you are to go online and try to look up a list of places to visit – basically a tourist’s stock photography checklist, as it may be – you don’t find much that’s appealing. Well…I didn’t, anyway, and as a result, I had pretty low expectations for Hanoi.
The charm and beauty of Hanoi, however, isn’t in any one particular place. It’s in the experience of the entire city. (I’d say the same for Saigon, but multiply that a few times for Hanoi.) On this day in the Old Quarter in particular, I kept finding myself thinking, “Oh, my God, I shouldn’t be this lucky as a photographer…” Today ended up being mostly about people, with a little food and historical locations mixed in.
As I mentioned in the last set of posting, today would start off a bit sad with Junebug leaving for China a day before I would. So, we were checked out of our room by 6:00 in the morning or so. The breakfast at the Art Trendy was wonderful. Buffet with a mix of made-to-order omelets mixed in. Strong work, Art Trendy, strong work…
When June left, I really had nothing to do since it was still six in the morning and I was temporarily homeless as I had to switch hotels. So…I sat around the lobby for about two hours (possibly slightly awkward for the poor girls working there, but oh, well; I had to sit somewhere).
Around 8:00, I finally dragged my old bones out of the hotel and walked the five to ten minutes down the street to the Aquarius, where I politely asked them to hold my non-camera bag until I come back around 1:00 in the afternoon to check in.
After that, I was finally off with my cameras to enjoy an early Sunday morning in the bustling Old Quarter. On the street where the hotel is situated are a number of restaurants where locals were jammed in to enjoy noodles, steamed buns, and the like. It was wonderful to be among that crowd (though someone tried to scold me ever so slightly for taking pictures of people eating).
Since this was right next to St. Joseph’s Cathedral – and it was Sunday morning – I found my way back into the church where we crashed the wedding the afternoon before and realized that I almost got locked into Sunday mass while walking around taking pictures. So…I stayed. I prayed. And my prayer was answered when I realized the side doors and even the back door were open. (Ok…I didn’t really think I was locked in a church, but it did feel like it a little bit.)
Upon exiting the church, a handful of frames under my belt, I walked along the lovely streets photographing shops and people. At Caphe, I piggybacked on someone else’s photo shoot – it looked like they were doing a promo for the place, or possibly just a personal shoot for five women, though I have a feeling it was the former. At any rate, I was quite pleased with that little set and am presenting quite a few of those here, even if they’re a little redundant.
My ultimate goal with this wandering was to find my way to the Hanoi Hilton. Now, I’m not taking about the hotel chain, of course, but rather the prison that U.S. prisoners of war sarcastically called the Hanoi Hilton during the Vietnam War. (This is the prison where Senator John McCain was interred while a POW, and there are one or two pictures to that effect here.)
This prison has a particularly interesting history (and morbid since…well…it’s a prison). It’s about a hundred years old and was founded by the French colonialists around the turn of the 20th century. During the first 50 years of its history, the French imprisoned Vietnamese insurgents and those who wanted independence. In the eyes of the French…renegades (hence the imprisonment). In the eyes of the Vietnamese – especially the current government – patriots and national heroes. If they were truly freedom fighters, then I would probably side with the current government on that one.
The French even had a guillotine installed here and overcrowding was a major problem. There were plenty of escape attempts, and more were successful than you may think, which is a little peculiar.
After the battle of Bien Dien Phu and the ejection of the French from the north (and before the U.S. got involved in the south), the prison changed hands and was under control of Ho Chi Minh. During the Vietnam War, it became one of the main prisons for U.S. POWs, as I alluded to above.
The propaganda claims that the Vietcong were absolutely humane and decent with U.S. prisoners, allowing them to observe their religious rites (Christmas celebrations, etc.), allowed prisoners to smoke and enjoy leisure (board games, basketball, etc.), and claimed they were well-fed.
This is certainly how it’s presented in the prison/museum currently. If you were to go online, though, and try to find a contrary report, you would find that this was all coerced and staged to make it appear as if things were on the up and up. (For anyone curious, per my Vietnamese friends, the general education in Vietnam today is how terrible the French and U.S. were for colonizing and torturing the country and keeping it from its independence.)
So, what’s the truth of what really happened? Who knows? Outside of firsthand accounts, it’s impossible to know for certain and even then, memory can be a tricky thing. I tend to like to say the truth is always somewhere between two opposing viewpoints, no matter what the topic may be.
From an impartial and purely photographic point of view, the prison, currently a museum/memorial, is an interesting place to spend an hour or two. Some of the exhibits seem a bit cheesy, but some are quite tasteful and well done. There’s also an informational video. You’ll have to see this with a bit of imagination (the prison, that is), as at least half of it has been leveled for high rise buildings. At least there’s some tangible piece of it left to visit, including the main gate (Maison Centrale).
After about two hours here at the Hanoi Hilton, I walked over towards the Opera House to get a few daytime shots but, really, to get lunch at El Gaucho. I was looking forward to a proper steak. The prices were astronomical (though justifiable based on what I ate), though I just opted for a steak salad. It was so good I contemplated going back for dinner, but had other plans.
With a happy stomach, I went back to finally check in at the Aquarius Hotel and got my workout huffing up six flights of stairs each time I went out. I relaxed here for a few hours until 4:00 when a dear friend of mine came to town to see me.
Ngan and I had an ice cream at Baskin Robbins right in front of St. Joe’s before heading over to the Temple of Literature. This is a temple dedicated to education and, bless my soul, it’s a place where university graduates come for graduation pictures.
On this particular day – a warm, sunny, late Sunday afternoon – it was packed with college students. And it was beautiful to see that many people happy, full of hopes and dreams, and dressed in either cap and gown or traditional Vietnamese clothes. In short…I had a field day shooting for an hour here.
Around 5:00, Ngan had to head back to school, and I went back to my hotel. I had one more meeting. Hoa, who traveled around Thailand & Cambodia with me in May, flew back to see me this evening. She picked me up at 6:00 on her scooter and rode me all around Hanoi by evening.
She started by taking me to Ho Chi Minh’s Mausoleum (which I consider a lot more photogenic in its setting than the Great Gangster’s Mausoleum on Tiananmen Square). This one, at least, was in a parklike setting. At evening, it’s well-lit and you can find people relaxing in the grass in front of it. During the day, you can visit and there are quite a few buildings behind the mausoleum that you can also see.
After a few minutes here, Hoa took me by West Lake – the largest lake in Hanoi, as I mentioned yesterday – and just drove me around for over an hour, it seemed. My impressions that Hanoi (even out of the Old Quarter) seemed to be a good place to live – though I’d be concerned about the air pollution – and people here seemed to be happy. Also…Vietnamese really love their coffee.
We finally returned to the Old Quarter for dinner at one of the famous restaurants she recommended and she treated me to a wonderful dinner. I can’t recall what we ate (the Vietnamese names of it, anyway), but it was nice.
After dinner, she drove me over towards the Opera House and then, finally, we stopped by Hoan Kiem Lake in the heart of the Quarter and walked around the lake. It was getting close to 10:00 by this time, and I wanted to get back to the hotel to get a few hours sleep before waking up for my early flight in the morning. Hoa came to the airport with me to see me off.
If ever there were a great way to finish a great trip, this was it. I absolutely loved Vietnam – honestly, a lot more than I imagined I would, even with every single person I know who’d ever come here saying what a fantastic country this is – and would gladly come back. This seems to be one of the kinds of countries that you would never get tired of or, if you did, it would sure take a long time. With that, I’ll bid goodbye to Vietnam for now with the hopes that I’ll someday return to this land of amazing food, landscapes, and people.
As always, thanks for dropping by and viewing these pictures. Please feel free to leave any questions or comments and I’ll answer as I have time.
Welcome to the weekend.
And we had quite a bit planned, with Jen coming round to play cards in the after into the evening, as we are now in a bubble together, as John has his with his family.
No bubble, big trouble.
We had food bought, and I was going to make spicy chicken tortillas, so all was set.
And for the morning, we thought we would go to Samphire Hoe. And have a walk, get some fresh air. Stretch our legs. Hunt for orchid rosettes.
So after coffee, we go out, via Tesco to collect essential supplies: Madeira, stollen and baklava. As well as peppers.
All the major foodgrops covered there.
Tesco was quite quiet, we rushed round grabbing what we wanted and actually using a till rather than the scan n shop, so we atually talked to someone.
Actually.
And then it was down Jubilee Way, through town and up and out on the A20, before turning off and waiting for the traffic lights to go green.
It goes green, and we go down, finding the large circular car pak almost empty, so I struggle to reverse the car into one of the marked spaces.
Jools pays for an hour's parking, then we split up: she walks along the sea wall and I walk on the path over the rolling landscaped grassland.
There is a lot of fresh air to be had, all of it free, and with a head wind, a lot of it forcing it down my nose and into my mouth. I could smell the tang of salt in the air, smething that got stronger as I neared the beach at the far end.
A couple of trains rattle along on the line at the bottom of the coast. Which I snap.
Sheep scatter at my approach. They and the small herd of cows are essential to manage brambles and other vigorous plants and shrubs.
I meet up with Jools at the far end of the site, and we watch for about ten minutes as waves crashed on the beach, and a few Rock Pipits fed on small shellfish washed up.
We walk back up along the path beside the railway so I could hunt for evidence of orchid rosttes, but I find nothing, but it was just looking as walking, not on hands and knees. We will be back in the early spring, if lockdown allows.
Back to the car and drive back to the A2, off at the next exit and double back to return to Dover, along Townwall Street and back home up Jubilee Way.
For a brew.
And back in time to listen to Huey as we warm up, drink our coffee and feast on baklava.
The day slips by, so at two Jools goes to pick up Jen, while I carry on watching a video of a train climbng the Alps to St. Moritz. Somewhere else to go once the plague ends.
Jools arrives and we play Meld for a couple of hours. Easier with three and quicker. It gets dark, so I prepare dinner, cooking breaded chicken and warming up some party food.
It sould come as no surprise to ehar that the party food, even Finest party food, was a pale shadow of the butcher-bought chicken I prepared and cooked.
We ate, and then played more cards until it reached eight in the evening, and after five hours of cards, our bums were numb, so Jools took Jen home, and I watched Portugal v France on the tellybox.
Not a bad day.
A bit of personal indulgence on this one, the Class C 0-6-0 592 at the top of Freshfield bank, light engine to Horsted Keynes. Got to say apart from Blackmore Vale, which hasn't run for so many years, this is my favourite loco. Now withdrawn for overhaul, look forward to seeing it run again.
A little bit about fences, a little bit about Spring, a little bit about being in the gardens and a little bit about the light at the end of the day. Happy Spring Fence Friday, my friends, have a wonderful weekend! :)
Bit tired this evening so just a simple light pen with a coloured bag over the light spun around a wine glass.... ;)
one of the cygnets sticking its tongue out,telling me that it feels the same about my plane photo's as alot of my contacts do
