This will hurt me...

Ezra snaps Lake Esperance. Hartz Mountains National Park, Tasmania. August 2019. Wordless Wednesday.

Ezra finds a tree. Walk to Cathedral Rock, Mount Wellington. http://sundaystealing.blogspot.com.au/2017/02/the-super-bowl-li-questions.html  01 What is the worst nickname that anyone has ever called you? I never liked “Finger” (McCRACKen). It generally led people in an impure direction. 02 Have you got a favourite flower? I like pansies. And proteas. 03 Do you add a sauce, ketchup or other artificial flavourings to your food? I’m not sure what is meant by “artificial”? If you mean “condiments”, I occasionally use them. Mustard, vinegar, Worcestershire Sauce, soy sauce. That kind of thing. 04 Describe yourself using only words that begin with the letter 'T'. Tenacious. Thinking. Tumultuous. 05 What is your lover's pet name for you?  You’d have to ask her. I’m not sure that she says it out loud. 06 What is your least favourite colour? Teal. Or cyan. Or maybe puce. 07 Who did you vote for in the last election, and did they win? I honestly can’t remembe...

Ein glückliches neues Jahr! Feliz año nuevo! Stastny Novy Rok! Chuc mung nam moi! Xin nian yu kuai! Akemashite Omedetou Gozaimasu! Barka da sabuwar shekara! Shuvo noboborsho!

Five kilometres. Run the whole way. Well done lads.

It really has been one of those weeks. Bring on the Darleks, I say...

Greetings from Singapore! Is anybody out there?!?!

Boys in a ball. A Taste of the Huon, Ranelagh. March 2014. 1.] What was your favourite age? Twenty was good. 2.] Do you miss someone right now? Not particularly. 3.] What can you see North West to you? Rabbits. 4.] Do you like bowling? No. 5.] Can you pronounce Italian words?

I’m sure that it involved chips. 13.] If you could climb any mountain or range which would you choose? That’s a good question. A long walk along the Carpath...

Just two lads hanging out on an old boiler. I will have to get back to these parts more regularly.

The view from the top. The summit of Mount Wellington. September 2013. 100 Essential Things You Didn't Know You Didn't Know , John D. Barrow: This book explores one hundred conundrums, questions and queries through the lens of mathematics. The book runs through infinite monkeys banging out Shakespearean plays on typewriters, your odds of winning the lottery, horse races, divorce, Google, game theory, infinity and chaos; there is much to enjoy here even if Maths is something other than your strong point. While the book is (happily) not dumbed down at all, it remains jammed to the brim with equations sure to make you squirm. C+ . Life at the top. The summit of Mount Wellington. September 2013.

Ezra the convict. Historic Coal Mines Site, Saltwater River. August 2013. Murder on the Orient Express , Agatha Christie: This book moves along beautifully - as the best Agatha Christie novel do. Moreover, even though this one has become a clichéd trope referenced by everyone from The Simpsons to the Muppets, it remains as fresh and surprising as ever. Someone has been murdered. The victim is not very nice. The murder took place on The Orient Express while stranded in a snow drift. There is a colourful array of characters, all of whom are suspect is varied and unusual. Hercule Poirot just happens to be on the train and the solution to the mystery is a pure head scratcher. Well worth your time. B . Henry on the ferry. Bruny Island. September 2013.

Big Ezra spots some stairs and sets about climbing. First he climbs up. Then he climbs down. Then he climbs up. Then he runs down. Then he runs up. Then he asks to be carried down.

Ezra gives his verdict on the Bruny Island Ferry.

Thousand yard stare.

The future dictator?

Lineup. East Derwent Highway, the Lindisfarne/Geilston Bay border. September 2013. Theme Thursday ? FASCINATION? Words. Birds. Long dead musicians. Colours. Directions. Computer games. Memories memories memories memories memories memories. Noise. Silence. Space. Space. Space. Peace and aggression.

Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call. Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall. You've seen it all, you've seen it all. Mother mother ocean, after all these years I've found my occupational hazard's being my occupation's just not around.

Keep working Henry, nearly at the top...

Beautiful blossoms!

Ezra's in morning right now. Just leave him be.
