What I think is cool about this picture is. I took the photo, it was 2 o'clock in the morning and the sun was still up, I just left the Top of the World Club and I was drunker than a skunk. How I managed to stand up and make it back to the ship is still to this day a great mystery.

Nice, I guess that's one way to protect against the cold!

Yes sir, right here in Baltimore. I watched her get dismantled day after day.

Something a little more sombre, from 2012 in Sarajevo, an empty chair for each of the 11,541 who died during the siege.

Sitting in a 3.8 metre sea kayak and watching a four-metre great white approach you must be a fairly tense experience.

I visited the Batu Caves Temple in the late 70's whilst on shore leave. I can't find my old snaps but I have one somewhere that is very similar to this one I found on Google.
