Dozens of seals gather at Pier 39, Fisherman's Wharf to bask in the sun, hang out and squabble. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) photographs do not come with sound, because these guys are NOISY.
A clear but cold Sunday morning, with ice forming on the inner Oslo fjord. The boat is the royal Norwegian yacht "Norge" but few people seem to be about -only a few intrepid visitors brave the cold on the quayside.
A chillingly cold afternnoon in Warsaw. Two trams -one old, one new– passing each other, with the formidable Palace of Science and Culture visible in the background. I was attracted by the somehow nostalgic colours of the trams.
