Desert recovery


From Ukraine we traveled to Dubai. We have two days of work here at an attraction that is currently under construction. I am unable to post pictures taken at the site because we are under a nondisclosure agreement. We are not sightseeing so I am not able to show you the sights either.  I can assure you it is hot.

Painted trunks



Some of the trees in Kharkov have their trunks painted white. Fifty years ago this was a practice in Ohio. People in Ohio did it as a decoration; they do it in Ukraine to prevent damage from pests- or so that is what I am told. The second image is a micro display of vegetation growing on one of the trunks

Cycling skirt


I'm not sure what is going on here. I passed this man on the street and could only wonder about his garb.

Trippin'

I have maintained a regular schedule of posting something each day for several years.  I am going to be on the road and working an irregular schedule so my posting frequency may suffer.  Please bear with me and come along.  I will do my best to share some interesting places.
