Coasting.86

This weekend (with the shortest weekend days of the year for those of us here in the northern hemisphere – days also when many of my family and friends around the world are likely to be gathering in homes far and wide to enjoy each other’s company) seems a good moment to share my last coastal photos from that lovely August high-summer week in Provincetown, just before I hopped over to Star for the meditation week. Experienced readers will know already that the photos and gallery in this post will be viewed much better on a large screen. 😊

Signs of the City.76

Village Views.66

More from our August outing to Star Island, which we’ve been sharing with you off and on since our first visit there (as an adult) in 2009. These photos were taken less than 75 minutes apart – above looking at the solar array around 7:48, below, gulls on the roof of the generator house around 9 the same morning, presumably as I was heading back for more sits after breakfast.

From the Air.36

Penang Island from the mainland: above, as seen on 29th of November as we neared our landing; below, as seen during my flight from Kuala Lumpur to Yangon on the 6th of December.

Mountains.26

Two different neighborhoods of KL, where usually there are mountains to be seen somewhere.

Ah, Royalty.16

Parc Royal in Brussels again – I didn’t get to the royal palace in KL, nor did I even remember to take out my camera to photograph the royal customs sign at the KL airport on my way out. I must get myself with camera to one of the many royal palaces in NL soon, or this cute little series will run dry…

Small Wonders.216

Flowers in the Dublin suburbs. On this first trip, I got no closer than this to the city itself.

City Views.216

This was my first Irish rainbow, after we’d driven from the airport in Dublin out to our hotel near Galway, dropped our stuff, then headed in for a walk around downtown Galway. We parked at the cathedral parking lot, the rain started, we began walking over the salmon weir bridge and the sun poked out to create a welcoming rainbow. Typical Ireland, it seems 🙂
