10 days fast rewind

28 Oct 2009 – Fire training

A couple of weeks ago we had a very interesting hands-on fire training session for all employees of the hotel. What a good thing I hardly ever leave home without my camera!!

28 October 2009 – Cruise Liner in Gozo

I had hardly recovered from that excitement, when more was to come: I was allowed to “escape” the office for half an hour to catch a few nice shots of the cruise ship Rotterdam that visited Gozo that day! I posted a few photos on Discover Gozo, but had no time for my own blog…

And after work I went back for more, arriving at the harbour just in time to watch the ship leaving…
:D

29 Oct 2009 – Opera night in Gozo

Once more, a photo-shoot I did on purpose for the Kempinski’s destination blog, Discover Gozo. I simply love the way my 5D Mark II handles night shots!!

A day later, the “D-Link” event took place in the church square of San Lawrenz, with Chasing Pandora being the stars of the night. But that’s certainly stuff which deserves a separate post!! As they say… tomorrow is another day!

Rain

The last couple of weeks were very busy ones, with stuff happening and a handful of photo op’s too. Had there been more hours in a day, I wouldn’t have had enough energy to take advantage of them! Last night I wasn’t even up to “celebrating” the fact that it was Friday… just after eight I collapsed in my bed and didn’t wake up before a few minutes before eight this morning! It was a rather lovely awakening, to the sound of rain, even though it stopped again all too soon. So I strolled into the garden and hunted for left-over raindrops…

a bee drinking... rain drops

more rain drops LOL

running out of captions but anyway... more rain drops!

Today hasn’t been entirely lazy for me; I sorted out a lot of photos (another post is coming up soon!) and I’ve updated Discover Gozo, the blog of the Kempinski Hotel San Lawrenz, with a contribution by my boss about the Ggantija temples, which we visited together a few Sundays ago. The blog is growing quite nicely, it’s really fun to keep going and watch it grow, but it does distract me from my own… There aren’t enough hours in a day, but as I said, even if there were more… see my first paragraph above!!

Now the sun has gone down already; it seems it was a rather pretty sunset, but I didn’t feel like venturing away from the house, and I only caught a last few rays from the roof:
