Sat 2007/04/07 07:52 Michael and the tortoise picture taken with Nokia N73. While waiting for my wife to return from a 2weeks course, I went with the children (and servant) to a nearby sanctuary. What a nice day it was. I don't know who enjoyed more. Me or the kids :)
Wed 2007/04/04 16:47 Rondebosh South East And what a day it was. After yesterday's fiasco (lost/dropped my car keys while 380+metre up), I flew for about half a hour up and down the ridge. At one time I managed to fly with 2 black eagles which nest nearby. I am always perplexed how a 'bird brain' manage to find the thermals (rising bubbles of warm air) without any instrumentation. The picture shows part of the highest peak at Rondebosh. (about 200m above the surrounding plains and 430m asl).
Also earlier in the day I've managed to find the keys I've dropped the day before ! Now that's no mean feat considering the size of the area and the vegetation. Of course the GPS come in very handy (I've back tracked the whole flight - on foot !)

Sat 2007/03/10 pic taken with Nokia N73 Hey, can you see this picture? Is not in .jpeg format but in .jp2 - a newer compression format almost twice as good ! The picture was taken at my friends house while visiting. It was pretty warm and the children enjoyed playing in the watter.

ATM I fly a 'older' Gin Bolero Plus. I am looking for a better performing wing and the choice is 'wide & wilde'. The Obsession is on my shortlist (next to the Arcus5.

Not even a handfull of sweets got him away from the computer. He is only 2 and a half, but already now seems to be more interested in computers and stuff then in playing with the ball or cars. I just hope he won't end up like me - 6 to 8 hours a day in front of the laptop/pc :(
