This is the trip I have wanted to do for so many years and last weekend we did it. Not an easy trip as it is at the very tip of the Eastern United States. The first spot that the sun rises in our country each day.
3 little boats to get us there and 1 hour in the blinds photographing the puffins was what we got. Such a beautiful place and the birds are just to cute. You'll be seeing lots of them as I took over 1,000 shots. I promise I won't post them all.
This one is my first...just as I shot him except for a bit of lightening, no crop. It was a perfect weather day which also helped.
As tiny Machias Seal Island is located roughly 19 km (12 miles) from the nearest points in the United States (Cutler, Maine) and Canada (Grand Manan Island), it is understandable that both countries have claimed sovereignty over the island. In terms of navigation, the island was more crucial to Canadian interests, as vessels bound to and from the important ports of Saint Johns and Saint Andrews frequently passed nearby, but the United States was reluctant to relinquish control of the associated prime fishing grounds. So the two countries have agreed to disagree as to who owns the Island and they share it.
In 1944 Canada declared it a bird santuary and it remains as such to this day.
Another one off the Bucket List.

Mackerricher State Park boardwalk. Which looks a little Japanese and then apparently leads to Ireland.
Where did we really go?
The summit of Mount Langley - Sunny afternoon, wind from the north at approximately 60 mph, temperature was probably around 10 to 20 degrees considering the windchill factor.

Park Güell is way up on a hill. To get there you can either be tough and take the stairs, or be lazy and opt for the escalators. Believe it or not, until the last leg, we chose the stairs, mostly because Dimitri had been pursuing a beautiful girl we'd followed out of the train station and SHE took the stairs. Unfortunately we lost her as she turned into a building just before the last section of the climb. Feeling defeated and sorry for Dimitri's loss, we sat on the last escalator in silence.
Today Nathan came across so we split into three teams. Based on our local knowledge we visited two separate locations: Coire Dubh Mor of Liathach and the east end of Beinn Eighe. Nathan's team climbed 'Way Up' as two pairs, building their own belays and generally becoming more independent winter climbers. Once again glissades were in order with a swift descent off the south side of Liathach. More details later once Nathan has time!
Jim and Ian wanted to get away from the forecast westerlies so their two teams headed up from the SNH visitor centre to the wonderfully open wildness of Leathad Buidhe, Beinn Eighe. There we found some snow slopes which were ideal for building bucket seats, buried axe belays and belaying one another on open snow slopes. After lunch we headed onto some steeper ground on that 'big triangular face' above Kinlochewe. All of the students then had the satisfaction of abseiling back down from a snow bollard they had built themselves before heading for home.
Nathan, Ian and Jim thoroughly enjoyed instructing everyone on the first, but hopefully, not the last Cambridge University mountaineering weekend. A big thanks to Steven at Cambridge University for making this weekend happen.
Finally we would all like to wish James, Elena, Tom, Adam, Ursula, Mindy, Valeria, James, Vidya and Aiora well in their future studies, projects and of course - mountaineering!
PS. It is still not too late to arrange some superb winter climbing on Ben Nevis with one of our MICs.

Dear Friends,
First, I must apologized that I left flickr so abruptly last year and did not reply to a number of mails from some of you who were very kind to enquire after me. At that time, I was facing a serious personal crisis and had to drop a lot of things including flickr. I am sorry.
Now, that has been solved and I’m getting my life back to order. However, I’m not ready to return back to flickr yet. I and my family are well. I’m also very busy working on a new project. My work also necessitates me to learn a new language which is taking up most of my time. So I’ve started a blog to record my current adventure. So if you are interested to find out how I’m doing, you can find me there - lostinchinese.blogspot.com/
I would like to wish all my contacts a blessed life and I again apologize for not replying to all of you who wrote to me.
All the best from Jimmy.
Riding up route SS38 north from Bormio to Passo Stelvio. Looking down at set of some of the 60 hairpin turns that you encounter on your wayup to the summit. The photo says it all. THis is why motorcyclists come from all around the world to ride the Stelvio Pass. I was surprise at how little traffic there was on the mountain.
