View on Jindrisska tower from Senovazne square (... while eating Saturday breakfast on a bench). And the Hard-de-core store I was going to visit was closed. Maybe you'll be luckier if you go there. This is one of my Christmas gifts inspiration stores :)PS: For those looking for design shops in Prague. These are pretty much close to each other:www.modernista.czwww.naoko.czwww.qubus.cz
Doris came over from Seattle for a visit last weekend, and it was really great to spend hours talking and catching up on the last three years. We both feel like we're in a creative slump, frustrated with our careers, and it was good to vent with someone going through the same thing.As she hadn't done much traveling on Vancouver Island, we went for a drive up-island to show her around on Saturday.
Gordon Brown has today joined the chorus condemning City bonuses, claiming they will be limited in return for government help to stabilise the sector: “I am angry at irresponsible behaviour,” he told GMTV. “Our economy is built around people who work hard, who show effort, who take responsible decisions, and whether there is excessive and irresponsible risk-taking, that has g

The illustrationfriday.com challenge word this week is “foggy”.
Let me start off by stating that although this story ultimately ends with THIS, it is not the same type of celebrity story found elsewhere on this blog.

I've been feeling blurry lately, like someone didn't color in the lines properly. And I figured out that when I draw or paint every day, and when I go for a 2-mile walk every morning as well, everything comes into focus and I have loads more energy. So:
More drawing.
More painting.
More walking.
More yoga.
ps ~ This was so much fun to paint. See it bigger here.
Above is my submission to this week's Illustration Friday...topic: Foggy.Not much is foggier than Jeanne Moreau wandering the streets of 1950s Paris...I took the background photograph of the Arc de Triomphe with a plastic Holga camera in 1996. The film sat in a drawer undeveloped until a few years ago.
Okay, I did what I said I’d do and took off the whole weekend (thus far.) It’s true I did a little editing this morning, but that doesn’t count. (You really should stop pulling faces like that; the wind might change and then you’d have to stay that way. Forever.) It qualifies as a break [...]

Appearance new Q5 becomes less foggyMuch would like, that appearance of new crossover Audi Q5 which, by the way, will show this month, it was similar on the concept Cross Coupe. And still for certain people would wish rudder them, as R8 and that he ate gasoline as A3. But all it, similar, and remains dreams. Picture which was dug out by Italian site OmniAuto.it, certainly, almost for certain - an imagination fruit skilled craftsmen the computer drawing. But the image is quite authentic (though on a motor show in Beijing it is necessary to the prime minister is sensitive to wait, we have found out about something on the channels).Most likely, Q5 will receive forward light engineering from A4.

As down the glen one Easter morn
To a city fair rode I,
Their armed lines of marching men
In squadrons passed me by.
No pipe did hum, no battle drum
Did sound its loud tattoo
But the Angelus’ bells o’er the Liffey swells
Rang out in the foggy dew.
Right proudly high in Dublin town
Hung they out a flag of war.
‘Twas better [...]
Yesterday I wrote about the mornings at the barn that are just cloudy enough to be beautiful. The other day (I forget now, which day it was), it was really foggy. It seemed kind of dangerous for driving to work with all the deer that aren't required to have on their headlights. You can get a general idea of how foggy it was in the picture above. By about noon, the fog had cleared off to what you can see in the bottom picture. The horses didn't seem to mind being out the fog (not that I expected them to, but you never know what a horse will do). The drive home was much easier than the drive to work.
It's really weird that the fog can be scary. Two days ago, a big fog attacked this city, and I can remember that there was some kind of strange smell in the air as well. It was obvious that the air is badly polluted, thanks to the cars on the road and plants giving out tons of exhaust gases. In the mean time, the temperature is getting strangely high, maybe it was because of the high moisture which meant the air was so saturated that the water can no longer take away any more heat into the air. Anyway if it was in summer, it would have been extremely uncomfortable, known as the sauna weather. Today, Shanghai is still foggy and wet all day long. I don't know what is going on, but I have heard that temperature is going to drop in the next a couple of days, and hopefully Shanghai can get some
I'm disappointed that it is not foggy this morning so I'm posting yesterday's morning fog.Yesterday morning was foggy, really foggy. ...I could barely see part of Ashley's school but it burned off by 9.30 AM.I can't wait till snow comes.My kids is waiting for the snow and want to make a snowman.I can't wait to see everything white!Isn't it just beautiful.!!My hubby is panic now.It's time to change all season tires to winter tires.He hates changing a tire because it wasting time and money.I hope there is snow coming on next week.
This past week has been a big challenge getting back into the swing of training. After our local fires I pretty much had no training for the past 7-8 days. Yesterdays trail run was cut short in terms of getting access to El Moro, due to a Red Flag warning the park ranger told us not to run inside the park. Instead we ran along Crystal Cove.Today with the time change I was able to squeeze in 16 miles. The body felt better and I felt like I was back in rhythm. The fog along the beach kept me cool enough to finish strong.This week is a big for me, I have a trail marathon on Saturday, then I plan to run 18 miles of the Surfcity Marathon course. So hopefully this will be good indicator to see where I am in terms if I can pull off this back to back 50K Ultra (TwinPeaks), and Surfcity race Superbowl weekend. I plan to be a good boy all week now that Halloween is over, I promise to eat all my fruits and veggies and drink plenty of water. By 10:00am next week I should be pulling out my credit
Hubby and I woke up so early like 6am coz we need to go to Biglerville to meet a guy and buy his scrap. The Fog was so thick, I can barely see anything on the road. Good thing...

I still had to post the rest of the selected pics as a sequel to the "Foggy Pictures"-post. The pics that I'm going to post now were made during the same bicycletrip that I made on Easter Sunday. These pics were taken a little bit later on the day when most of the fog was gone and sometimes the sun was getting through. It's a bit of a mix of animals (birds), still life scenes and houses (mainly country estates, originally built in the 17th and 18th century by merchants from Amsterdam) which I saw cycling down the river Vecht.Most of the pictures speak for themselves, I guess.These two windmills which you can see on the back between this tree view through are the biggest and the smallest windmills of the Utrecht province.This is castle Nyenrode and is the home nowadays of the Nyenrode Business UniversityI assume this swan had a nearby nest, because the swan was behaving very aggressive. I was standing on the footpath about one and a half meter from the waterfront and every time I move
I went cycling again last Sundaymorning. It was an impulsive decision. I was awake early, watched outside, I saw it was foggy and thought maybe this could give me some nice photo opportunities. And because of Easter it probably wouldn't be very crowded on the road early in the morning. So I got up prepared some of my photogear, took a shower, packed some fruits and drinks for during the trip, got my cycling outfit on and off I went.It was quite waterkoud as we say in Dutch or clammy in English, so I was glad I took some gloves with me. I took almost the same route as one week earlier. So I cycled from my hometown Utrecht again through Oud-Zuilen, Maarssen and Breukelen and then through Loenen and then to Nieuwersluis.Short after about 4 kilometres I spotted the grebe-couple again with their three youngsters from last week. I guess it was the same couple again, because it was exactly at the same spot I saw them a week before. It's amazing how quick the youngsters grow. If you look at
Few hours ago I met a friend of mine. It has been 2 years since we last saw each other. We talked and talked …about us, our lives now, what happened – and what may or may not happen. At the end we exchanged our phone numbers – and may meet again – in a year, two or later – or may be next week – as happens…
That meeting made my both happy and sad – I have come to realize that something like love can be blessing and a curse at the same time. Not that I did not know this before – but somehow this view grows stronger in me. And I wonder even trough I get lonely sometimes – if this isn’t for the best …or probably it is not – it is just me afraid from being hurt …
For one thing I felt how I deeply miss someone with whom I can share just about everything , and how good it would be if I could wave my hand – and make everything more simple for me – to meet whoever I want , do whatever I want – but it ain`t that easy – it never is .
And still it is good that I
