My retirement over the past 3 years has allowed me to pursue a hobby that I've had interest in most of my adult life. This web log basically represents a means of sharing my photographic images with my family and friends.
We took an end of the year family holiday trip to Tunisia. Many people responded to this by : why, where, what? Tunisia is a moderate Islamic country of 11 million in Northern Africa that has a long Mediterranean Coast and the beautiful Sahara Desert in the south. Algeria is to the west and Libya to the east. Tunisians are proud of the fact that they lead the "Arabic Spring" in a non-violent over throw of the governing dictatorship in early 2011. They have just recently seated a Constitutional Congress after a free democratic election. The people are friendly and the country is obviously photographically rich. As always, these shots are just a reflection of what my camera saw and not intended as a tour of the country. Comments are appreciated.
We had a perfect fall in western Virginia this year, as beautiful as I can remember. It occurred to me that not everyone in our family got to enjoy this special time of year. I have tried to capture some of it thru the camera for Andrew and Jorge and Kathy. And others in exile.
