The view from my "office"

[Captain Halliday]

My view this morning was bad news:

Not strictly a view but as I’m only up to Japan in my TR I thought I’d post it here so anyone travelling to HNL in the next week is aware.









And further into the paper this pic:

HNL next May, so hopping all will be repaired by then,

Doh, I thought you were talking about your knee.

Coolgardie now. Drier but cool and still cloudy.

If you're feeling cold, why don't you go warm yourself up by a camp fire in Ora Banda?

Pedestrian management ... Shanghaiese style



Reminds me of that quote “we are going to have peace even if we have to fight for it”

@amaroo, did you go inside and listen to the Old Jazz band? ..... that is, if they were still playing!

Pretty nice views from today's office, Freycinet National Park.

Nice detour off the highway to a small town called Ross.

The view from our office in Zaandam, Netherlands and the view of our office.

All the buildings in this modern area have been modelled on the traditional houses, which can still be found in the original villages around here.

The building with the clock is a railway station. Some years ago we were on a train passing through and Mrs jxv said that one day she wanted to stay in the funny looking hotel. Today is that day!

Our children and grandchildren are also travelling through Europe and we spent last week together in the Netherlands.

Here we all are in our office in Volendam, an old fishing village where traditional clothing is now only found in tourist shops to have ridiculous photos taken.

Irkut river at Zhemchug, Tunka valley, Siberia.



The nearby hot springs pool (55 degrees)



The mountain front goes forever.



A spring fed stream up in the mountains



... which leads to river



A nuthatch looking for a feed.



Russian adventure playground. That is not a rope to hold onto. Just self balance along the tree trunk, and 4m to the ground.

This is such a brilliant thread. Amazing pics, all.

A PERfect afternoon for a 7h drive west back to PERadise from the WA Goldfields.

Western Woodland with the famed Goldfields Pipeline trends into heathland.





As the view forward is west towards PERfection, that means this view must be east towards PERdition (aka The Highway to Hell - apologies to AC//DC) . Hyuk, hyuk...



Then the eastern extremity of the Wheatbelt about 25km east of Southern Cross, followed by painted silos at Merredin in the east central Wheatbelt.





Continuing through the central Wheatbelt and the start of rolling hills near Northam in the western Wheatbelt and its painted silos.









And on to the eastern side of the Darling Scarp and Wandoo forest on the lateritic soils. That transitions to Jarrah and Marri forest further west but the light ran out.

Thursday last week we made Madurodam in Den Haag (The Hague) our office, a miniature village depicting scenes from around the Netherlands, mainly for the enjoyment of our grandchildren.

The first photo shows the Dam in Amsterdam. There is also a miniature version of AMS airport. The seagull didn’t like the SQ A380 and left a deposit on it.

I am still having lots of fun - not - with my laptop. Hence no trip report started yet. I think I have got one photo to work.

San Sebastian Spain - on a perfect day.

Love the pre-double amputation 'roo!

Irkutsk, Siberia, international departures terminal. ( The city has a population of 600,000)



Check in ( I eventually summoned my inner DYKWIA and approached the front of the queue to ask for business check-in and was waived forward )



Business lounge ( a win, as I wasn't expecting anything).
