I went down for a quick check on the bridge, Hector (I think) came along for the ride, and I suspect amazed by the amount of progress too. Greg Townsville weather: Fine-ish with the possibility of a light shower later, very nice at the moment the warm humid conditions have largely gone. A700 KM24-105 Attachment:

I'm glad Hector is keeping a good watch on the bridge construction, Greg. : ) Indeed, there appears to be a little progress from this angle..  Istanbul is around 24 degrees C and but not too hot. Yildiz

Thanks Yildiz, that Seagull was very friendly so I took a couple of photos of it through my dirty windscreen, I had just stopped and it landed on my roof and walked around on it then it chased another Gull away and came back to sit on my front carry rack bar. I think people who fish there have been dishing out left over bait and now it sees anyone who arrives as a potential food source…maybe, but it was a welcome difference, usually they are a bit more wary of humans because sometimes it isn’t long before something nasty happens to a friendly bird, it’s just things that some humans do I’m afraid.

Tsawwassen 11ºc. & Raining. Was wondering how that bridge was progressing Greg, could be done in a couple of months. Your buddy Hector is looking very well in both of those great shots, overseeing things. Thanks for sharing.

Greg, that's in Montenegro, at the Ploče beach near Budva. The shore line is about 70m behind my back. The weather felt exactly as it looks in the picture.

I had a look on Google maps where it was agorabasta, boy there sure are some roads and places too see all up and down that coastline, btw you are only a couple of hours (by Ferrari) away from where Yildiz lives. Greg

Clouds, thunder rolling yet not rainy in Istanbul. The Sun is showing at the moment at 22 C°.
That's a neatly clear day, Agorabasta. An interesting spot on Earth... : ) Loved the trees...

Grey clouds, but warm and quite bright here today. We dodged a few light showers in search of a nice meadow, and also enjoyed a cooler walk through the shady woods and paddled in the stream. 2012 The Knapp - Summer Stream by Birm, on Flickr 2012 The Knapp - Buttercup Gate by Birm, on Flickr Both Nex 5, first with SEL 16 and second with SEL 55-210. (I might add, a great light walkaround set up  .)
