My first online conference … impressions? Well, some things are better but the snacks between sessions is definitely worse (probably a good thing, I don’t need to put on any extra kilos!!)

one thing I’m really starting to dislike with online meetings is that I’ve seen more of peoples nose hair than I like. Laptop webcams is destroying our perception of people 🤣
Conferences and photography
One of the benefits of going to a conference is that you get to see a new place, which of course means a chance for some photography. Here are a few photos from Aberdeen 2019
From Dagstuhl and Völklinger Hütte
And finally some from Uppsala
In other words I enjoy going to a conference since that usually mean that I get the chance to take a new photos. Note that conferences are rarely in places where you really want to go !!
Anyway, tomorrow it’s time for a new conference … but this time I’m going to sit in my office at home so no photos from a new place. Instead I’ll try to take a photos from the village where I live, perhaps not as exciting as photographing a new place but not too bad. Here are a few photos from the village that I’ve taken the last few days

Another photo from the neighborhood - I don’t want to have a horse but I’m very happy that someone else in the village have a few … I’m unsure about how many but I think there are at least 7 of these ponies.

Another old memory, this time from when I was travelling home from Seattle. We were going to take a connecting flight home but for some reason we landed at the same time the other plane was rolling out on the runway - yep, I saw it. So we were offered a room for the night and then a seat on the plane home the next evening. So, next day we took the bus to downtown New York for a quick look around … and of course I needed to go to Empire State Building.
Unfortunately, it’s not a very good photo … I wish it looked like this, this or this but I didn’t have the skill (or the time).
Anyway, I got a free visit to New York so I shouldn’t complain. This was also my second to last visit to the US.
