My son recently launched a #WeatherBalloon with a camera and some instruments. This #photo is from about 30km up just before the #balloon burst. It's really cool that you can begin to see the curvature of the #Earth from this height and see the darkness of #space.

I must have walked by this fence hundreds of times but today I noticed that the posts are crowned with little snail sculptures of varying sizes and poses.
The corner post of a wrought iron fence. It's a totally normal fence except that the post is crowned with a lovely, somewhat abstract sculpture of a snail in its shell.

#Baking King Gustaf's pepparkakar #cookies in #brasil with my wife, could not find dark karo syrup, and had to substitute with yellow karo syrup and some dark sugar cane extract. Color is good but it's missing the snap.

I shot this #portrait in #Cancun of a shaman solving my son's #Rubik's cube on the #pirate ship #JollyRoger during the dinner portion of the show. He was able to solve it but not the larger cube my son had brought with him

#Photo I took from #Sugarloaf (Pão de Açúcar) towards #Botafogo and #Flamingo in #RiodeJaneiro more than 25 years ago, just before the digital #photography age. Shot on a pocket camera in #panorama mode. It has faded a bit, but I still like it.
