Another week with great spring weather is over.
I signed up for a spinal excercises class and on Wednesday there was the first meeting. I think this class will be a good compensate for my office job.
Friday night was really cool. Lots of my friends came over for celebrating my birthday and later we were out in a club. It was a fun night.
Yesterday was also very cool. After I cleaned my apartment and removed the leftovers of the birthday party some friends came over for watching football. Then we were out for eating burgers and ended in the billiard hall. Annika took this photo of me. Good job Anni :)

As Fleetwood Mac once sang:
Can't help it about the shape I'm in
Can't sing' I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
Don't ask me what I think of you
Might not give the answer that you want me to.
Taken on the Stornoway to Ullapool ferry. The first time I have seen this a) when I had my camera with me and b) it was not raining!!
It is a trend in Saigon that people doing excercise, dancing early in the morning, in the park, public place...
Saigon, Vietnam
The government suggest an hour a day excerising outside the house is enough to keep mind and body intact. Social distancing must be observed and since all non-essential travel is banned the miles of beaches in Morecambe are largely deserted. I've had a hankering after living in a city again in recent years. I miss the hustle and bustle and culture of city life that's difficult to find living out in the sticks. On days like this, during times like this I'm glad to have this kind of space on my doorstep.
Another excercise in building from a doodle, and I'm very pleased. Not with my drawing, that's still not brilliant. I like to hope that I'm improving though.
I know the sketch has those cool prong-y bits that stretch from the engine to just under the cockpit, but they don't look anywhere near as neat on the real thing, so I scrapped them.
But anyway, I built a spaceship. There's a shocker, huh? Something different next though, I promise. Well, promise is a strong word. Maybe, just maybe, it won't have wings. There. Satisfied?
With the tail end of the summer season, a lot more Coaster buses have been popping up on the 13X, and I decided to try the route out.
My driver towards Eastbourne was pretty heavy-footed and led to some fast driving on the flatter bits on the Tourist Trail portions, which was surprising giving the gutless reputation of these small-engined deckers.
Here, 941 (BX15 ONT) approaches the pedestrianised front of the Beacon shopping centre on the way to it's final stop, the Pier.

Another refraction pattern of light through glass.
This one reminded me of a multiple shot collage of a figure running and jumping, but then you may have other ideas...
Traditional Indian wrestling (Pehlwani) also known as kusthi is essentially a rural sport marked by the loud grunts of thickset men grappling with each other in earth pits. This sport is popular in Delhi haryana varnasi and the centre of popularity being kolhapur and central maharashtra.
Wrestlers belong to gyms called akharas, where wrestlers live under strict rules. Wrestling schools in maharashtra are known as taleems and not akharas.
The soil in which wrestlers fight is mixed with mustard oil, turmeric, ghee and milk. Small pooja is done everyday before starting the training or dangal competition.Hanuman is the deity of the pehlwans.A traditional wrestler leads a life of abstinence : see wine tobacco and drugs are not permitted. Wrestlers' diets consist of milk, almonds, ghee, eggs and chapattis and each wrestler has a job to do in preparing meals.
Pehlwans live a life of austerity ; extreme for of bhramacharya.
Wrestling competitions (dangal) takes place in circular or square arena measuring atleast 14 feet across.The dirt floors are maintained in right consistency _ soft enough to avoid injury and hard enough to impede the wrestlers movements..Largest wrestling tournament is held at the largest wrestling maidan in warananagar in kolhapur district, maharashtra on Dec 13th every year.Sad note of this traditional game is the lack of support of government and it's pressure to embrace international wrestling standards to Win medals in Olympics.It's popularity has dwindled over years due to red tapism and lack of funds from government.but there are still many akharas left and some dedicated people who are working to keep this ancient part of Indian culture alive.
I work and then when I get home there's lots to do - homework help, make dinner, make lunches, laundry, stuff around the house, maybe take a photo....so if I do not change out of my work clothes and right into exercise gear, it is likely not going to happen. It is soo much harder in the winter time when there is less light and it's so damn cold. But today - i got it done. Gotta shed the winter lbs.
Trying to get a motion shot for "Excercise!" in the Flickr Monthly Scavenger Hunt was a decent workout. I'm still not happy with the shot but I'm done...
The task tonight was to set up a basic 'still life' and light it as you see fit ... here are the results !!!
The images were lit by using my Canon 430EX II flashgun behind a white umbrella, all controlled wirelessly by my 7D.
Thanks to Jeff and Brian for supplying the 'props' tonight !
