Landed late last night from Cork and left early this morning from Manchester to run a mountain of last-minute errands and then drive to Dover (picking up the ferry tomorrow), so was wa-haay too exhausted to shoot anything. This is a random bit of corporate hotel-iage I shot for the simple reason of not ruining a thus-far successful 365 project.
Shot from the airplane over Ireland. I know that nothing comes out that great shooting through an airplane window, but I had no idea how tough these high altitude shots would be to find a balance between low-light and fast-motion. Think this one came out pretty decently (of the 20+ I shot!)
I've been traveling a LOT this last week for work and play, so am way behind on uploading. This is a corner Kiosk in Cork, Ireland where I have been doing some training. I wish I had gotten to spend some more time in Cork both when I lived in Ireland and this trip - really lovely city!
Max pulled through the night and is one a course of antibiotics - really a last ditch effort before palliative care. Here's both a tribute to better days and hope that he has a few years left in him.
This little guy was into the business of dying on my shower wall, so I grabbed a quick shot with the macro filter. Poor 'silly buzz' as my little girls calls them.

Toilet waste is never intentionally dumped overboard from an aircraft. All waste is collected in tanks which are emptied on the ground by special toilet waste vehicles. A vacuum is used to allow the toilet to be flushed with less water and because plumbing cannot rely on gravity alone in an aircraft in motion. The infamous blue ice is caused by accidental leakages from the waste tank. Passenger trains, on the other hand, have historically flushed onto the tracks; however, modern trains usually have retention tanks on board the train.
