Gypsy Musicians Amsterdam Style!

Well maybe that would be offensive to them if they weren't gypsies, but in fairness, they were going for that whole look to get a bit of shrapnel, so no harm; no foul.

Jonathan Sexton: he's our hero.

This week Ireland became a Royalist nation. Everyone is a fan of the Queen and her triumphant State Visit to the country, that was soon to be followed by US President Obama. It took an American, born in Honalulu with a Great Grandfather from Kenya to inspire the Irish to be proud to be Irish. The country was furthermore instilled with pride with the dignified modesty of a very humble but very brilliant Jonathan Sexton, who brought Leinster to an undisputed victory at the Heineken Cup Final. You couldn't have written the script on how that game transpired. Ireland has turned a page. No more will we talk about Bank Bailouts and the IMF. The great nation of craic, pints and banter is back in full swing. Long may it live.

I love Berlin! Where East met West.

East Berlin, May 2011.

A sight that would not have been seen a mere 22 years ago. Advertising  and the Western Capitalist world pasted on to the grey and uniform Socialist Architecture of East Berlin...love this City!

Vancouver at dusk...with a partially blood red sky.

Nothing like a delicious BBQ topped off with a nice sunset...A great end to a Sunday.
