Portugal, again
Only two days in Portugal and I've already shot almost a thousand photos... I cannot decide which is my favourite, but this one is surely very high on the list...

My absence, again, is excused!
Either you have a wonderful view of the castle and the mountains - or you have shadow all day long. We opted for shadow. I have to make five steps to actually see the castle!

Buggy shade
Glorious days outside, perfect for long walks with MiniMojcek Nr.2. Of course he needs to be protected from the sun and since I do not want to use sunscreen on his gentle skin just yet, I am making a shade.
I got some white cotton and dyed it to match the colour of the buggy.
It's not an easy colour to match - I experimented a bit, mixing the Light Green and Lemon Batik dyes from Deka.
The instructions say to dye the fabric for 15-30 minutes... The sample on the left that matches best was dyed for about 2 seconds! Of course I didn't have time to photograph the process, but I'm quite happy with the finished result.
It's not exactly the same colour but close enough. And fresh. And springy :-)
The shade in action!

... and Wave Goodbye
Wave Goodbye to my old pair of pairs of shoes!
If you know me, you must know my old Tevas. I have two pairs and have worn them since... 1997? simply because these are THE most comfortable, useful, multi-purpose, April-October shoes. They are literally falling apart but I'm not throwing them away just yet as the new ones aren't as perfect as the old ones were.
These shoes have been on five continents, I've walked in them in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Ocean, Yellow and Red, Dead and Med Sea and probably some more I cannot even name, crossed several rivers and lakes, climbed mountains, walked on the snow and in the deserts. I wish I knew how many thousands of kilometers I've walked in them, but there surely were quite a lot.
And you can imagine my surprise when I found a VERY similar pair of shoes in a museum in a remote village in the middle of High Atlas mountains in Morocco:
I should add that when I was in Morocco, mine were exactly the same colour as these ones in the museum. I have, however, washed mine recently. Anwyay, it will be strange to have a different sun-tan pattern on my feet after fourteen years...

Say Hello ...
Say Hello to my new pair of pairs of shoes!
I bought new Teva Kayenta Leather shoes:
(Photo taken from the official Teva.co.uk site)
In brown.
And in black.
Is it just me or do they really look like a spider - they even have eight legs!
Let's just hope that the hand of Teva will protect me from the evil spirit like just as effectively as the hand of Fatima.

NanoToy
Another project for a customer - but this time the customer was me... does this count? Anyway, I was co-organising a conference and we needed a logo. I took my son's toy (brought by Mike from New York, thank you!) on a sunny day and photographed it. I loved the sharp shadows.
Notice the symmetries of the buckyball:
Do I need to say this was a conference on nanomaterials?
Different perspective:
And the final result:
