Postcard0320 300x215 Ladies for tea & a stroll down the streets of Minsk

This arrived from London and although there’s nothing Londony about it, a smile covered my face when I set eyes on these charming women with their cone-shaped hats. The black and white just gives it more old-time authenticity.

On the same day, I found a street in Minsk in my letterbox. I must confess to having a dearth of knowledge about this city or the country it belongs to – Belarus. So I did a search using, no, not Google, but Alexa (which is powered by Google anyway) and can direct you to this site http://www.privet-minsk.com/

It’s a term I coined today to capture the two specific activities of running and touring which happen concurrently. This development has been a long time a coming. I have written before how I have no qualms in pausing a training run to take in breathtaking views, to admire the appearance of an uncommon species of wildlife or, with nose to the ground, to sniff at a floral specimen of lilliputian size.

This morning I decided to take it a step further by carrying my Sanyo Xacti movie cam in a waist bag. With photography being another of my interests, I have often rued the missed opportunities which arise during a dawn run. However, I have now resolved this quandary by committing myself to the occasional tourun.

I can see where this is going. Next will be snacks on some craggy cliff face and, with the warming of the weather, a plunge into a cool pool of water far away from the popular bathing places. All these sensory pleasures will still be bookended by a pair of running shoes carrying me to and from my destination.

All those numbers painted on a wall caught my eye, plus the colours seem to go quite well together. Take your pick for the lottery but please think of the photographer when you pocket the money!

Czech Landscape 1

This photo was taken in February 2007 while holidaying in the Czech Republic and being very well looked after by 2 ex-students of mine and their families. It was the first time I had been away to a place with temperatures hovering around the 0°C mark and though I’m no friend of the cold, I still kept my chilblain-prone fingers exposed so that I could click away contentedly.

Pink, green and yellow

From the black and white of the last shot to the pink, green and yellow of this week’s. These colours, together with the leaves stained with waxy drops of water, are what caught my eye.
