Another shot of the sun; this time about an hour before sunset as the clouds that had brought some rain clear out.

Simply the sun descending into the horizon in the southwestern sky; moving ever further towards the west as little increments of time are added to each day through to June. This was just before 4.30 PM.

A quick-and-easy taco dip; the actual dip is fat free with sour cream and cream cheese (yeah, yeah, i know some of you might be thinking "ick" at the fat free stuff, but you don't notice the difference). Here's how it goes together:

Equal amounts of cream cheese and sour cream
A packet of taco seasoning

Mix together; serve straight up or spread onto a plate and cover with lettuce, cheese, black olives, or your favourite taco toppings.

It should be fairly self-explanatory, but this is the precise (at least according to the TV) moment that 2007 started. And, yes, that clock is ten minutes fast; it's now about 15 minutes fast...not that it get looks at a lot...

My local train station in Berlin, 11 Jan 2007

This is the train station which I use to catch my train to go to and from work.

Cat No 2, 10 Jan 2007

I was about to snap a picture of Pebbles but curiosity got the better of her and suddenly she stuck her head into the camera to make sure I did not miss a shot of her. Oh well...

Dried arrangement, 9 Jan 2007

This arrangement of dried sticks is in my hall.

Golf
I took some shots today but I didn't like any of them and I cant find anything else to take pictures of right now. So here is an old one from several years ago. This was taken in El Paso on the golf course (obviously lol) my husband likes for me to take pictures of him during his swing so that he can see if he is doing something wrong. I was trying to catch a shot with the sand flying as he hit it.

London Bridge, 6 Jan 2007

Pavement lights in the walkway under London Bridge.

City of London, 5 Jan 2007

This is the Gherkin, also known as 30 St Mary Axe, in the City of London where I have friends and clients. There is a cool restaurant at the top of the building with great views over London. I like the bands and stripes of darker and lighter glass around the building.

Way to work, 4 Jan 2007

The sun had just managed to break through a cloudy turbulent sky on my way to work in London.

Ammolites, 3 Jan 2007

Two pieces of ammolite, a rare and very interesting gemstone which can come in strikingly different colours. They are the fossilised shells of ammonites which lived between 65-125 million years ago and went extinct around the same time as the dinosaurs. These specimens came from Bear Paw Valley in Alberta, Canada and I just received them.

In my apartment, 2 Jan 2007

I bought this original oil painting by Magaretta Wolff for a song a few weeks ago. It is hanging in my apartment and I really like it. It is placed so that it is lit from the base.

New Year's Day in Berlin, 2007

Outside my Berlin apartment in Potsdamer Platz, there is a pretty extravagant Xmas tree, and it was lit up on the evening of the New Year. It just looked really pretty and snazzy so I took a snap of it.

2nd January 2007 - The beach next to Hyams Beach at Vincentia. I have no idea of the name of this beach. But it looks like a nice place to spend the day..

1st January 2007 - This shell was originally the other way up. I could have cropped this photo so it was closer to the shell but I liked the small glimmer of color this full frame shot provided. The only thing I did with this was bring the photo size down to 768x512 which is the size I am trying to stick with for all my flickr pics.

Happy New Year

Marigolds and Guardhouse

Well, the actual guardhouse is a little further to the right of this scene. Maybe this is just a sewage lift station.
