Look Close-Up

Many look for their animal side on Chinese, or whichever, calendar, trying to discover which creature describes their “inner me” the best (or something like that).
Me… I just found myself on Flickr!
That lovely Retriever is - Gogen. Don’t believe? Click on image and check his Tags :). So, I’m a nice, well treated dog. Cool.

Odyssey 3001 book

Wanted to get Odyssey 3001 book a long time ago, but couldn’t find one, so I searched and eventually forgot about it. Then A. C. Clarke died and I felt embarrassed not having read in in the meantime. Recently I found one on a book fair and spent 1,00 EUR on it. At last.
So, before I read about unfrozen Dr. Frank Poole getting his way around one of four orbital stations in Y3K1, I threw myself in front of Odyssey 2010, to pick up the atmosphere a bit.

and I missed the Beijing ‘08 closing ceremony. Heard it was wonderful. Missed the opening as well. Heard it was outstanding too.

Instead I watched a wonderful video creation made by Robert Croma and browsed through about 500 photos in a few Flickr groups.

Also, instead of posting my own pics, I’ll feature one from one of my contact’s sets. Enjoy a beautiful sunset in a beautiful land far away from here.
