All content shown here has been resized, a lot of the pics are duplicated, not knowing how the zoom function would work, and will be weeded out when I get a chance. The images have been jpeg compressed at 65, to make them more web friendly.

By no means do I consider myself a photographer, and on that final last day, there was no way I could handle the crowds and heat with my walker etc.

Gratefully a friend came with me and lifted my walker up onto a container pier flatbed where I could have a reasonable view and be above the heads of hoards -- hehe

I wish now we had taken an image of me sitting high up there on my portable throne-- just for the fun of seeing how I looked. We are going to try to go back and re-create an image of it. (Sometimes I feel like 150, and act like 13-16 - compound views of the passing of time)

Take what you like, and pass it on if you wish. (If they become part of a site or used commercially -- acknowledgement would be nice)

If there is a special one that hits your fancy, I will consider trying to meet special requests by e-mailing the original to anyone who makes the request.
