Re: Seasonal Greetings from Downunder

[John Sessoms]

I was going to wish all y'all a "Happy Festivus", but apparently I'm a 
day late and a dollar short (not at all unusual around here).

It's already 25 December here so Happy Christmas to all who celebrate it.

Best wishes to everyone for a happy holiday season and a safe new year. Let's
hope that 2022 will be a lot better than the last two.

Personal new year resolution -  get my Pentax gear out more often and contribute
a few PESOs.

Cheers to all
Brian from western Sydney

I've never actually seen a "White Christmas". Closest I ever got was 
2010 when I was in school down in Asheboro it snowed on the 26th.

Y'a plus de saisons... There are no seasons anymore, as they say in France.

Current temp at 5.30 pm local is 10 deg c (50 F). There's a distinct air
mass boundary right across Germany with us on the warm side. Forecast
for the next days is cooler and rain, followed by springlike 15 degrees
for New Year's Eve.

Happy holidays to one and all. Thanks to everyone for the company and
the beautiful photos.

Much the same weather here on the west side of Lake Michigan - fog and

The Journey of the Magi

'A cold coming we had of it,
Just the worst time of the year
For the journey, and such a long journey:
The ways deep and the weather sharp,
The very dead of winter.'
And the camels galled, sore-footed, refractory,
Lying down in the melting snow.
There were times we regretted
The summer palaces on slopes, the terraces,
And the silken girls bringing sherbet.
Then the camel men cursing and grumbling
And running away, and wanting their liquor and women,
And the night-fires going out, and the lack of shelters,
And the cities hostile and the towns unfriendly
And the villages dirty and charging high prices:
A hard time we had of it.
At the end we preferred to travel all night,
Sleeping in snatches,
With the voices singing in our ears, saying
That this was all folly.

Then at dawn we came down to a temperate valley,
Wet, below the snow line, smelling of vegetation;
With a running stream and a water-mill beating the darkness,
And three trees on the low sky,
And an old white horse galloped away in the meadow.
Then we came to a tavern with vine-leaves over the lintel,
Six hands at an open door dicing for pieces of silver,
And feet kicking the empty wine-skins,
But there was no information, and so we continued
And arrived at evening, not a moment too soon
Finding the place; it was (you may say) satisfactory

All this was a long time ago, I remember,
And I would do it again, but set down
This set down
This: were we led all that way for
Birth or Death? There was a Birth, certainly,
We had evidence and no doubt. I had seen birth and death,
But had thought they were different; this Birth was
Hard and bitter agony for us, like Death, our death,
We returned to our places, these Kingdoms,
But no longer at ease here, in the old dispensation,
With an alien people clutching their gods.
I should be glad of another death.

T. S. Eliot

Mike that was wonderful fun -
I , who never forward anything, forwarded it to a a dozen of my closest
non-pentaxian friends.
