Kayaks and Planes

Another mointh has gone by. Fortunately this last month was (again) not all work and no play ;-). After a test paddle Ellen has chosen a kayak to buy. And today she joined a group-paddle and had a ball...

Some more pictures here.

Peter's boss has extended his contract for another 4 months (last week requested 3 months and made 4 months of it this week). We will be taking a few days off between Christmas and New Year, and we have planned a holiday for 3 weeks in February. We are not going to plan anything for the holiday, we just want to get in the car and drive in a generally south direction.

Another one of Peter's pictures 'won' a competition. The photo won the 2-weekly 1st half of November competition with this photo:


For the next weeks competition I have entered this one (a view from our backyard ;-):


Last week we have enjoyed the Red Bull air race in Perth. I made lots of pictures and it took me most of my spare time in the last days to sort them out and present some of the better ones on the photo site. I know there are people out there (Jan !!) who might have wanted to see all that.. Good news for them (again, Jan !!): The Red Bull air race will be back in Perth in 2007 and 2008. Nice to see was that the Black Swans were not all worried about the big number of people (> 200.000) and not frightened of the noisy planes.



More photos of the Air Race

Well, as said last week, pictures say more than a thousand words. I hope you're enjoying them.
