Self Portrait

This was taken with a Panasonic Lumix LX3 on the train home from Grand Central Terminal to Scarborough. As I recall I’d had a few beers and I was playing with the camera – partly to get more familiar with it. More importantly perhaps I was trying to keep myself occupied so that I didn’t fall asleep and miss my station.

Jaguar

Seen in Geneva, Switzerland some time in August, 2010. I believe it’s either an XK-120 or an XK-150, but I’m not sure which. Actually, as I’m looking at it I’m becoming more and more convinced that it’s an XK-120, largely because the 120 had a two piece windshield while the XK-150 a curved single piece. Whichever it is it’s certainly a beautiful car.

You’ve got to love that Jaguar hood ornament.

Tree overhanging Teatown Lake

Teatown Lake Reservation is one of my favorite places: to walk the dog; hike around myself and just sit and watch the world go by. It’s quite large: 1,000 acres including the 41-acre Teatown Lake, 7-acre Shadow Lake and 9-acre Vernay Lake, streams, waterfalls, hardwood swamps, mixed forests, meadowns, hemlock forests and laurel groves. There are a number of trails so you don’t have to repeat yourself too much. One of the easier walks is around the lake. It’s flat and takes between 45 and one hour depending on how fast you walk. It was on one of the walks around the lake that I came across this tree overhanging the lake itself.
