By the dock of the bay.

Children played in the mellow sun, being careful not to step on any of the gaps of the boardwalk slats. 

Summer in the city and the whole summertime thing. 

A glacier could melt within minutes of this view. But will soon freeze again, don’t worry.

Celebration and a family affair.

In the warmth and aroma of not a care.

Bubbles.

Two heating elements glowed.

Cooking.

Laboratory.

Diesel engine.

We would continue, but we’d be in the kind of territory only a multi-disciplined engineer would understand enough to have all the possible answers.

Even if we enjoy engineering principles,  the pure glow of a warm fireplace and the delights of art, are most valuable.

Something needed fixing and as usual, it took very little time to do. 

Strange how it seems to take less time to fix something now, than when you leave it until later.

On the other hand, focusing and keeping on the course of one task, often allows more  completed results in a given time.

Don’t listen to the technique peddlers, listen instead to your own voice.

And, more so, listen out for ideas that fit you.

Boringly self help sounding? 

Yes, I suppose it is. There’s always tomorrow!

It was about time. But it was so beautiful that you could have happily waited a lifetime.

They were surfing on the leaves of a giant aloe vera plant.

Salads had been decorated with pictures of women wearing one-piece bathing suits or men in swift swimsuits.

Plumbers painted their tools with lacquer and varnish after each use.

Something unusual was in the air.

Waterfalls were depicting letters, words, sentences – explaining this new trend.

Sideways and forwards, between the crowded and the silent. 

In the street there are paving stones, plaques and monuments.

On the bench a quiet conversation.

Outside the bank a saxophone player. 

In coordinating the building of a city, the ploughing of many fields, timing and brushstrokes are essential ingredients. 

An organic feast.
