Too many Japanese cartoons

Xan has been watching too many Japanese cartoons...
this is how he has started to look.....

He is an oversized pair of boots away from being part of an elite robot controlling fighting squad destined to save the world in a quasi spiritual battle!

Mini Swim meet this morning.

A tiny little swim meet this morning, just for fun at the Gail Walker Swim School.
In an indoor pool of course, cause doing any swimming outside today would be a little silly!

One of the nice things about this pool, apart from the fact that it is heated... is the big window at one end of the building, it makes an awesome spotlight as people get to that spot.

Here is Zak.

Photogeeking:  this is basically straight out of the camera, spot metering on Zak.  A tiny tiny bit of contrast adjustment afterwards.

Where I Live

My drive into town yesterday morning, on my way to sit in a coffee shop and do some work.
There are worse ways to start a day!

Of course - the reality of it all was a little less dramatic....

This is what the people driving by saw!
