Re: Geso: my trip to England 1982
On 22/3/15, Daniel J. Matyola, discombobulated, unleashed: Before my first trip to Europe, I had always heard that Germans were disciplined, regimented, militaristic and jingoistic, while the Swiss were independent, individualistic, health conscious and politically neutral. In my first border crossings (back in those days we had to stop and show our passports), the German border guards were extremely casual, and had shed much of their uniforms in the summer warmth. They saw the color of our passport covers, saw we were Americans, and waved us through with a cigarette in hand. Almost no German flags were evident anywhere. The Swiss border guards, however, behaved with military precision, carefully examined our passports page by page, and questioned us about our purpose and intentions. Swiss patriotism was always on display with the Swiss, Cantonal and City flags flying on every structure. Expecting muesli for breakfast every morning, I was greeted with a huge selection of cold cuts, cheeses, breads, jams and butter, with as many calories as the notorious full Irish breakfast. Fascinating! Love these recollections. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__Broadcast, Corporate, || (O) |Web Video Production --www.seeingeye.tv _ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: Geso: my trip to England 1982
Despite my comment about England's grey reputation, the weather was quite nicer both time I visited. In fact, the week we spent in London in February was warmer and sunnier than the week we spent in Paris in April of the following year. I was amazed by the places that had flowers still in bloom in flower boxes that time of year. Which reminds me of another of my favorite travel stories. We arrived in Paris the day before Easter. It rained almost every day. We attended Easter mass in Notre Dame, which was packed and a bit smelly with all the damp clothes. The next day, the rain stopped for a few hours and we were walking in the Tuileries Gardens. My wife was admiring the tall trees lining the path, and she commented on all the white blossoms on the trees. The asked me what kind of trees they were. I said I didn't know. She asked again. I repeated that I didn't know. when we stopped for tea, she asked a third time, and I got a little annoyed, probably because I was still a bit damp. Look, I said, I'm just a tourist here as well. How the hell should I know what trees bloom in Paris in April? Then, of course we both started to laugh, and sing. April in Paris, chestnuts in blossom.

Out of interest spent a few minutes looking to see where the UK is in the globla scale of rainfall and according to this web site we rank 48th out of 95 in annual rainfall totals (the USA being 25th) although regional variation isn't obviously taken into account. There are places in the UK where it does rain a LOT - eg in the mountains of north Wales and Scotland. http://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/stats/Geography/Precipitation And here is a map showing totals in translated colours: http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/AG.LND.PRCP.MM/countries/1W?display=map As a bit of background the UK is a small island nation and the weather is predominantly dictated by the Atlantic ocean, with pressure systems flowing from a generally westerly direction more or less along the north Atlantic jet stream. This means we get a fair few low pressure systems with associated warm and cold fronts, and their associated rain. They usually skip through quite quickly and within a few hours. Because we sit usually near the 'border' with cold Polar air to the north and warmer air to the south, we often find big temperature variations within the space of a few days. Hence the saying in Britain we don't have a climate, we have weather. But to be fair, cloud cover is not something I think about a lot as some days are cloudy and some days are sunny. I find the variation is good and unless we get stuck under a winter high pressure that drags in freezing easterly winds from Siberia, it's all fine! So, just curious as to where the idea that England is grey.

Re: Geso: my trip to England 1982
That is a fine album with a lot of strong images. The colors are surprisingly rich, especially given England's grey image. You may have improved since then (I'm not qualified to judge), but you clearly had the eye and the talent way back then.

Don, Imperfect scans, but nice compositions in difficult conditions. Not your average tourist snaps. And the red head seems to favor blue outfits! Regards, Bob S.

Re: Geso: my trip to England 1982
Fascinating, and dome very familiar places well photographed. I love the old Kodachrome look - you must have some good plug-ins.

Re: Geso: my trip to England 1982
Don - forget about the techy stuff... your sense of composition is clear... I think what it shows is that your eye has been there all along, now you have better control because good equipment and better technique and in some your sustaining sense of humor (Watergate Antiques ;-) ) I like the woman on the bench in the green area near the building particularly ann On 3/21/2015 15:28, Don Guthrie wrote: In 1982 I went to Bolton England to act in a play.
