Wordless Wednesday: Hiking Hill 88

Adam R. Paul — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 17:44:41 +0000

Sunday, 10 January 2010:
A week late for our traditional New Years Day hike, Sarah, Elica & I hiked Hill 88 on this blustery, chilly (by west coast standards), foggy winter’s day.

Fort Cronkhite

Coastal Trail

Fog rolling in

Foggy bunkers

Hope ’09

Footsteps-of-spring

Striated rock

Foggy hill

Moss (or lichen?)

Tumbling fog

This must spell something … right?

Samurai

Smurfy

Found still life

Hill panorama

Blue Nightshade

Rodeo Beach and Lagoon

Prague, Part 5: Letecké Muzeum Kbely (Czech Air Force Museum)

Adam R. Paul — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 14:00:59 +0000

One of the few day trips we did outside of Prague was to visit the Czech Air Force museum in Letecké, just outside of Prague. Particularly interesting to me was their displays of MiG aircraft, built to intercept the USAF’s fighters, the very planes “our side” fought against in such silly Cold War movies as “Top Gun.” It was a nice enough museum, if a bit sterile, with all of the craft lined up behind roped-off pathways, and stern-looking employees eyeing visitors suspiciously.

Since I am out of town this week, and have little else to say about this particular museum, the rest of this post will serve as a Wordless Wednesday:
