Dust in the air

Courtesy of the Sahara Desert?

As it happens, a plume of dust blew North from the Sahara and hung around off the coast of Portugal. Could it be that it's putting on a show every sunrise and sunset for three days?... and counting...

Balloon ride

Earlier this month I went on a balloon ride. And what a ride it was!
We departed from Coruche (Portugal) and flew for over an hour, until just before the sunset. It was lots of fun and it's a great way to fly!

Double vision

This beauty paid me a visit just before 2010 ended. It knocked on my window and just stood there, smiling at me and posing for my camera... :)
