wrestling with the 1600+ photos I currently have (crazy, right!), and my annoying Mac OS that's making all the transferring from one medium to another difficult.
but here's a prelude (to the full album that I'll hopefully get to working!):
Tulips at Keukenhoff, Amsterdam
This is one of my favourite photos
because a good photo is a combination of preparation and opportunity!
Near a clog-making factory in Amsterdam.
Staffa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Off the coast of Scotland.
Though we didn't manage to spot puffins,
the whole isle itself was just awesommmmme.
Just look at those rocks (i.e. hexagonal basalt columns).
The Quiraing on Isle of Skye was breath-taking!
(My sister is in the picture to give a sense of scale.)
The last time I was there with E, the weather was misty, which gave another totally cool effect,
but this time: the clear weather gave superb views from every angle.
Gosh, just beautiful, really.

A bit unrelated but I just have to blog about it: on the plane journey home,
I caught a Japanese movie -- seems to be a pattern, doesn't it?
When I returned from Spain, I remember raving about Bokura ga Ita that played on the plane too.
This time, it was Orange, another growing up movie
that left me in tears throughout the last third of it.
Like I said, trust the Japanese to make the sweetest, the most nostalgic,
the most heartbreaking, growing up stories.
This manga adaptation is about a girl
who receives a letter from herself ten years in the future.
The older version of her tells her to do things different so that she will not have regrets.
It's definitely about love, but it's also about friendship, and sacrifice,
and just being there for the people you love, so that we all know we're not alone.
