Hoi An

 The serried ranks of Chinese lanterns, perhaps waiting for the night.

 Fascinating roof tiles on a lot of the old houses.

 A bit of building work going on.

 A buoy in all its simplicity

Halong Bay

We're just back in Hanoi from an overnight on Halong. We visited the Hang Sang Sot caves, swam at the beach, went kayaking and ate too much. It is the very picturesque place we'd heard about. During the night the  Monsoon made its presence felt with thunder lightening and heavy rain. Todays activity of kayaking was blessed with a respite before the rain resumed for our tranfer off the tender to our bus.

Phnom Penh Monsoonal Shower

The afternoon shower begins and grows in intensity, then slows and stops. A few hours later everything has dried up.

The Temples of Angkor

We're on holidays in Cambodia at the moment. Athena is recovering from a broken leg and not walking far. The temples are impressive and amazing with so many delights, but tinged with the saddness of decay.

A View

Today I had to take Athena to Trafalgar East Cemetery for a Committal Service and I was struck by the view for the mourners.

A Little Thing

Testing things out, but more to go.

As the Day Winds Down

Sunset after a day of variable weather.

A New Bike

The other day I brought this bike from the Op Shop. It's an old steel frame and probably been sitting in a garage for a number of years judging by the tyres which still hold up but are looking a bit sad. I've taken it for a ride and it was fun. Gears and brakes worked beautifully. I'm looking forward some longer rides.

Emerging from the fog of busyness and illness

 Reflexive making something that still needs finishing.

 A little more tweaking.

Beginnings of Agneta.

A late autumn day at Tullycavan

It was a beautiful day at Tullycavan. I walked around with a hoe digging out some weeds.

This Then This

In the last little while Agnetha has moved on a bit. I worked on images on the computer to plot  and looked at stages in older paintings now I've followed through. It is not the end. It looks a bit awkward. I think this will fade. The squiggles look like the floaters in my eyes - involuntary movement, perhaps.
