What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.
It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.

Scary

I think my email address is going to get cancelled as it hasn't been used for a while, but it's probably time to shut down this site - especially after seeing how scary I look with the new camera......

I've wanted to try something new with photography and so I bought an Insta360 camera. I'm still learning the editing and so first time out, it's not what I see on the ads, so obviously I need more practice. Okay I'm using a selfie pole designed for cameras and phones, so that's the first mistake, the second mistake could be thinking I look good in the photos.

I do like a couple of features that I'll experiment more with, but certainly not enjoying it for selfies - it's scary, makes me look like an old man trying to be a woman (I suppose that's what crossdressing is about anyway). Thought I would try a couple of shots at 277 Newmarket after coffee


A quick visit to the domain while I'm in the area



I'm expecting to walk a track or two in the Drakensberg mountains, South Africa soon. Judging by my walks in Australia recently, I really need to practice my hill climbs. I would like to blame the Australian heat for my ability, but really, fitness or lack off, prevented me reaching the top on my last mountain attempt.
So for practice, I did a couple of walks up Mt Eden, but it was a fun walk not a hard push. I normally carry about 12kg on my back, but for this walk, I have about 1.6kg on my chest 😊
