You don’t see one of these too often. Bound, no doubt, for a car/motorcycle show. I did a quick internet search and believe this to be a 1000cc 2-cylinder bike made circa 1920.

Normally when I sustain a bruise, I have a pretty good idea of how I got it. Not so with this one on my bicep. I have had it since last weekend and cannot think of something that would have caused it. Soccer is the obvious choice but the near perfect circular shape is inconsistent with the kinds that I have experienced in the past. Jeanine thinks I got it while clearing vegetation from around our air conditioners. While doing so, I was stung by a bumble bee, once on the neck and once on the face. I made a rapid exit from the area through thick brush and may have been poked by a branch in the process.

One of the followers of this blog has a keen interest in bridges. Given I was too busy catching up at work for any new photography today, I decided to feature pictures of bridges I took during my recent travels.

This last image is a rather depressing one. It was taken from my plane as I departed Hong Kong. In any other setting the bridge and mountains would have been totally clear. What you see here is the impact of air pollution. For all the strides the Chinese have made, this will be their legacy if they do not take action to protect the environment now.
