Day 8: Walk, suggested by @lwdupon
A photo of a projected slide from my time in India in 1989. I’m unsure where I took this, but I think that it was in Bihar State.

Day : Whole, suggested by @val
I’m always grateful for the whole bean coffee that I buy from Sterling Coffee Roasters in Portland. I’ve made sure to write to them to let them know. Here is their always available, general blend - Blendo Stupendo.

Day 6: Engineering, suggested by @ridwan
For all the advancements in digital technology, I am fascinated by the precision engineering that goes into analog clocks and watches. This photo is the back of a clock hanging in my mother’s apartment.

After our recent visits to Portugal, I feel spoiled for choice for tiles to share today. These were taken in Porto.

Day 4: Zip, suggested by @Miraz
This car, sitting in front of our hotel in Florence, Italy last year, looked as though it had some zip to it.

Day 1: Secure, suggested by @mandaris
A plant behind a secure window in Florence, Italy.
A few views of the TWA Hotel at JFK early this morning. There are always people walking around taking pictures here. The retro sixties look is so well done.
The sunken lounge.
The old checkin desks that are now used for hotel checkin. The bag conveyor belt is running behind the desks, though they carry nothing.
The walk way connecting the hotel to Terminal 5.

Tonight’s layover, TWA Hotel at JFK.
Town, boat, night…from the far bank.
Catching up.

And tonight.
A micro Micro Meetup with @maique. The meetup was “micro” because it was short, 5 or 10 minutes, at the end of the day before we headed off for the evening. Still I am very pleased that we squeezed it in and made it happen. Thank you Maique, it was great to see you again.

We had good Ramen here, take away. My mother’s first Ramen and she thoroughly enjoyed it.

Still a little way to go, but Spring is starting to make an appearance.

I am not sure where this was taken, except that the country is India. I believe that it’s either the Lilajan River in Gaya, or the River Ganges in Patna. Like other recent photos that I’ve posted, it was taken in 1989.

Another photograph from my travels through the Indian/Chinese subcontinent between 1989 and 1990. This was taken near to Bodhgaya, Bihar state, India, possibly on the road on the way to the town. From the height of the photograph I wonder if I am sitting on the roof of a bus?

Kathmandu from across, I think, the Bagmati river. Like other photographs that I have posted this week, this was taken in 1989 during my travels through the Indian/Chinese subcontinent. Photo capture of a slide projected onto a wall.
Swayambhunath, on the edge of Kathmandu, through the mist. This photograph was taken in 1989 and is a photo of a slide projected onto a wall.
Well while I didn’t get out to see the Jaws surf break yesterday that I had spoken about, some people were surfing those monsters and others got to take photos of the day.
I did get to see some slightly smaller, though still big waves further down the coast. Plenty of people turned out to watch as well. No worth while photos of the waves though. An iPhone 13 Mini’s camera does not do them justice.

This image is a photograph of a slide projected onto the wall and then cropped and straightened in order to correct the perspective.
Travels through the Solo/Khumbu Region
Wednesday, January 11, 2023
Last night I went back through some slides from my 1989/90 travels through Pakistan, China, Nepal & India. I have numerous slides, and they are in an ill arranged mess at the moment. As I loaded up the carousel to put into the projector, I had little idea as to what I would be looking at, even whether I would recognize the images. My fears of not recognizing images were unfounded.
