Antoni Gaudí, Tim Burton and Victor Horta had a chat about a house.

That visual effect on pebbles and rocks is merely caused by ripples on the lake. Perpendicular shot on the moving water surface.

Same spot, different angles:

We decided to head to Joshua Tree last night for the meteor shower. I managed to get some pics of falling stars. At first I thought they were bugs because they were orange, but then one of them was behind the cloud! I read up on it and the reason they are orange is the iron content. I guess that makes sense.

I was a bit out of focus. I should have focused on the clouds or foreground to make the stars clearer. Lesson learned.

Faired better than I did. I sat out Friday night for a few hours. Seen a couple but didn't get them.
Saturday was overcast and tonight it's raining.

It was almost cloudy sat night, but it cleared up as you can see! It was plentiful at around 2am PST, almost catching one every few seconds!

Very nice, so many places have changed over the years.
My family started coming here in 1968 when I was 9 years old.

I stand corrected.

So after spending a week or so in Sweden we’ve made it to the last destination our trip, Copenhagen.

The last time we were here, about three years ago, it was winter so the city looks quite different.

I do prefer the snow covered version!

Some shots from around the city including the evening at Tivoli.
