Capture: Movement, in reply to Troy Rawhiti-Forbes,
The Ghost of Business Past has an intense race against a wagon.
Thanks for posting this Troy. Told you it would fit in nicely. :-)
And Gareth, I might have to put a warning in the post now. “Bunnies may have been harmed in the making of…" etc. Yikes.

I should check my 'Isis Knot Privilege', but I'm so excited everyone else gets to read this wonderful book.
Emma, if there is anything we could do to help you in your coming months of trials and tribulations, I do hope you would ask.
Arohanui.
perhaps the ability to reach through the internet and slap people with fish or something similar
Didn't we trademark the 'Emma Slap™ ' some time ago? :-)

Thanks for contributing to Capture Simon.
It looks so vibrant and colourful, but at the same time lost in a kind of time warp.
'Lifes Rich Pageant', as the saying goes.

Capture: Movement, in reply to David Hood,
I fell over and broke my arm while I was attempting to photograph some rosellas.
Crikey. Suffering for your craft. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Speaking of speedy, my little vespa suffered its own movement injury at the weekend. Rider was largely unhurt, with chunk out of knee, and a reminder that actually it IS the destination, or arriving at said, not the journey.

Was looking for more photos of Prague, and found this of the remaining wall in Berlin instead, from the same trip in 1993.
Have been trying to find an English version of the quote by the first post-war President of Germany, Theodor Heuss.
The best I can gather is 'man cannot with politics make culture, but perhaps with culture make politics'. It seems kind of apposite right now.

We stayed there for two weeks on our big trip in 1993. The memory of what came before was very fresh in the people we met and stayed with. I think the first MacDonalds had just opened, or maybe there was a debate going on over its opening.
It seems amazing now that in those two weeks of summer, Depeche Mode played a big outdoor concert, and Sugar (Bob Mould of Husker Du) also played a smaller venue. Which I guess would have been unimaginable only a few years earlier.
I'd love to go back too.
Now, did you try that Smažený sýr? :-)
