Can’t make head from… Tail… San Francisco, 2016. I simply can’t understand why the powers-that-be put a bus stop in front of perfectly good Street Art!…
If you’re going to San Francisco… Streets are steep. Hang on tight. (SF 2016) City light bookstore. An ode to the Zapatistas. Palace hotel. NO, we did not stay there and I hope it is not a “Tramp” hotel… If it is, pray tell and I will take the image down… They say Jack London…
“Uhura, Spock, Scotty, good morning. Orders for today? Yes, Lieutenant Uhura?” “San Francisco, Sir. At a cross-point between 19th and 21st century AD.” “Good. Ready to warp, Scotty?

“Standard deviation, Scotty? I bet this was suggested by Mr. Spock?” “Aye, Sir, it was. The above is an 18th century pirate on Fisherman’s wharf, San Francisco. Plus or minus two centuries. Sir.” “Right. Ready to jump everyone? Jump!” “El globo”. Passion for pastry. Mexico. 2018. 11th century. Normand warrior bidding Adieu to his Lady…

Mary Poppins? Bogotá, 2018. You sweet thing you… San Francico, 2016. (Some of you may remember my fondness for Lichtenstein’s art…) Amazon forest, 2006. Bradypus. Paresseux in French, sloth in English. This one took over half an hour to cross on the next tree. Slooooow. We need war… Mexico City. 2018. Fingers crossed. London 2016.…

Hon cop. The Lord Tiger in Vietnamese. Not too sure about the spelling. Why my parents used a Vietnamese name in Cambodia beats me. (Tiger in Khmer is Khla) But that was the name I knew, when I met a tiger face to face for the first time. I wrote about that encounter in “The…
“Scotty. The Title generator software is down again.” “Sorry Sir. We’ll fix it. ‘Meantime, the Time-Space shift modules are fine.” “Sure Scotty? Last time we emerged in that wall above in San Francisco. 2016, if I recall.” “Because of the peacock, Captain. That is why peacocks are not accepted on Disjointed Airlines anymore as comfort…
Egypt, c.1936. Leaving the Suez canal for the annual “furlough”. L. to r. My aunt Gaud and my father, Cyril. In those days, only two-three years before WWII, travel was done by ship.
