Photo a Day Challenge - Day 141 Pink

June 2010, whilst in Berlin, I had arranged to go to the Tierpark Zoo. It was a great day, I spent it with MB who was also there with her dog Miss A who was over for a breeding service. Anyway, during the day, and it was a hot day, we got to see many animals... Here is a couple of Pink Flamingo's, whilst we have them here in Sydney (Taronga Zoo) they were still great to see...

Photo a Day Challenge - Day 140 Where You Stand

Last year, when in china for the World Horticultural Exhibition, I got to visit the Terracotta Warriors, also in Xi'an's Shaanxi province. I was in awe of the site, and in NO way, does my photo do it any justice what's so ever... Seeing the way the soldiers were standing, en mass, I was standing myself just in sheer bewilderment of it all...

Photo a Day Challenge - Day 138 A Favourite Place

A favourite place, for me, is many... But in many ways, onboard an aircraft, going somewhere, anywhere, is often a great place, and no sooner than my next trip for many reasons but to simply get away... Being onboard, gives you the sense of being taken somewhere, that whilst you know WHERE you will end up, you just don't know the way you will get there. The flight crew do, or may very well, but it is open to little challenges along the way. So for a time, you can sit back, chill out and relax, or at least, I can!

Photo a Day Challenge - Day 133 Grass

Yes, this is grass, and its at work! It is also in the middle of the drought back in the summer of 2010 when we, as with all of Sydney, were under water restrictions. Doesn't look very good for a major garden to have its lawn looking like this now does it??
