Dusk on the Vltava
Ocean sunsets on a beach in Hawaii are nice, but my favorite sunsets happen in Prague.

To Mega Therion
Therion’s Christofer Johnsson @ 2019 Brutal Assault
@_Therion #brutalassault
Back in the 1990s I didn’t listen to, or like, much of the new music coming out. Grunge, alternative metal, nu metal, rap rock, and the like did nothing for me. Instead, for new music anyway, I turned to some of the sounds coming out of Scandinavia which included black metal and some of the heavier strains of symphonic metal. Among many other bands, I listened to exactly one of Therion’s albums, Theli.
Flash forward twenty or more years. Therion now has 16 studio albums of which I’ve heard one, and that one I haven’t listened to in close to two decades. They hit the stage of Brutal Assault and proceeded to perform the entire album that I’m familiar with! What are the odds?
Saint Petersburg Revisited
Four Seasons Hotel Lion Palace (St. Petersburg, Russia)
Today’s photo comes from last summer, a summer that ended my run of European summers at four in a row. Hopefully, things are back to normal next summer. My 2020 plans of hitting new countries like Poland, Slovenia, and Austria have been postponed for at least a year.
This photo was taken just before, or just after–I don’t remember, I had an amazing meal of beef Stroganov in its place of origin. The golden doom in the background is not part of the Four Season Hotel. Instead, it’s part of St. Isaac’s Cathedral.
Bicycle day
#bicycleday
Fun facts:
1) Today’s photo was a test shot to make sure my Nikkor 300mm f/4E lens still worked after it was involved in an accident on my way to Copenhagen last summer.
2) April 19 became the official bicycle day back in the 1980s when Dr. Albert Hofmann took LSD for the first time and then decided to ride his bicycle home.
