This photo is just below Rainbow Falls in North Carolina. It's on a trail with a waterfall payoff at the end. I think the word rainbow sums up those fall colors. North Carolina is famous for its autumn tones, which, as I write this, is still a couple of months away. It was nice to hike in the mountains and get a break from the humidity back home. This is another old photo I pulled from the archives. Old images are veritable breadcrumbs leading back to forgotten details. For instance, from the picture, I recall the hike took longer than expected and, was a little more strenuous. So when we got back to the hotel, we ate pasta and dinner rolls, leaving only, ...you guessed it, breadcrumbs.
This is a fashionable hotel at the end of the beach in Barcelona. It's a cool beach with a cool hotel and cool people walking cool dogs. It's so cool that I was starting to feel a little self-conscious. But I know that's silly because the people in Barcelona are not so pretentious. They just have that way about them that seems fashionable to me. By the way, this photo is heavily Photoshopped. There were hundreds of people here. But, I picked out the most interesting and turned the rest to sand. If you zoom in, you'll see some quirkiness. That's just me and my less-than-cool sense of humor.
I can't remember if I was at the front or back of the train. I'm going to guess the end, but it's not my final answer. In Vancouver, the SkyTrain is fully automated so you can sit at the front or back and watch the tracks through the windshield. I would often stand at the end of the platform and, once in a while, get the end seat. Sometimes I'd take videos with my iPhone, here's one from 2013. I'm all for self-driving and can't wait to get one. I would rather sit as a passenger and watch the scenery than pay attention to mind-numbing traffic.
