I was uploading some old pictures of mine from the early 80's and accidentally didn't select private.
I was in the Coast Guard at the time. Our ship had just completed NATO exercises in the North Atlantic and we spent a couple of weeks going to various ports. Had two days off at each port. One third of the crew had to be onboard while in port in case of fire or other emergencies. Went to London, Edinburgh, A Coruña Spain, Hamburg and West Berlin Germany, and Paris. Actually went to Europe twice on two different NATO exercises. Also went on an Arctic trip on the Polar Star icebreaker. But most of my time in the Coast Guard was spent in the Caribbean and NYC since our home port was Governors Island.
About the picture, the Louvre was amazing, but honestly I was a bit underwhelmed by the Mona Lisa, kinda small and set back behind glass. Notice the object many of the people are holding to their ear. It was for people to hear about the various paintings quietly so as to keep the museum's atmosphere quiet and perhaps reverent. So many people going through and guides talking to crowds things could have gotten very loud otherwise.
I wonder how the do it today?
This Double-crested Cormorant was having trouble holding onto his catch. He dropped it and had to dive again to get it back. Crescent Beach, B.C.
31446 had a mishap at Sheffield on 28/9/1985.
The timber strewn around the front of the loco will be used as packing during the re-railing procedure.
a few snaps during an easy stroll with the dog - very close-up and wide-angle and edited for warmth! Brrr!
Day 340
Only 25 more days and I'll be done! I'm excited yet sad it's ending. This was a rather hard shot to get. I had to perfectly time throwing the pictures before the flash went off. It only took a million tries. I either threw too early or too late lol.

Out on this thin ice on the river that's cracking under my feet, what a dumb thing I did!
I can't believe that I centered the sunset in the composition disrespecting the rule of thirds...D'OH!
(I deserved to drop through the ice)
I saw this car when I was home visiting my family. Did someone put it in reverse rather than drive? Who knows but it was hanging over the railroad embankment, not anywhere near a road.
