How to skip lunch
Very minor modification to the plan to skip lunch today. The miniature hip-bath of fois risotto was what swayed me. Total cost – 6 euros. This is at the Palace of FBT, the Mercado de San Anton.

Photographing treks – a recording journey
Over my past 5 years or so of trekking, I have struggled with a way to represent the look and feel of the surroundings and the journeys. In such extraordinary surroundings, it seemed perverse not to make a record of what I saw. But the result was often hundreds of images, many of only marginal…
Ril’s at the Warehouse – new photos and reviews

The nature of that post required in-line, smaller images, most of which were of…

It is so vast that without care a trip here becomes a pleasure-free grind. I love most of all, the Velazquez, the El Greco, and the Goya…
Slow boat to Heathrow
Over twenty-five years of intensive traveling, I must have made (I roughly calculate) more than a thousand trips to Heathrow and back. You would have thought there was little in the limo or minicab business that I had not seen in that time, but on my way to the aerodrome this trip I encountered a…
