Here be things I've seen, some stuff I've found, places I went, people who I met there, a bike or two, a bit of architecture, some misguided opinions, the occasional rant and sometimes some cool stuff to do with science, ex-soviet states and obscure stories of questionable legitimacy...

POSTALES INVENTADAS
“To me Postcards and Blogs share something in common. Both contain basically private information but can be read by people who have nothing to do with the writers. There is nothing wrong with reading a postcard that is not addressed to you or checking out a blog that is all about the personal life of an unknown person. A typical way of protecting privacy is using information that will be understood only by the people whom the message is addressed to. Another defensive approach is to be laconic, rather inexpressive. This last strategy is typically seen in postcards.
This blog is intended to play in a sense with these issues of privacy. For this reason my approach is purely literary (another way of protection). Here I mix together real and fictional stories. Some people who “receive” a postcard from me are real people, others unrelated or almost unknown to me. Of course I, as an architect, “send” only architectural postcards. Some of them were already postally used and therefore now they are being rewritten by me. In short, I am just making up postcards”

This is a pretty good photo - but it’s even better when you find out how it was taken.
“The particular setup for this was sound activated. The lens was destroyed (worth it of course) but the camera survived this one despite being severed from its ratchet straps and thrown to the ground, and the sound device used for this one disconnected from the camera and thrown about 200 feet backwards into the pad perimeter fence (still worked!). All settings are preset manually. No one is allowed closer than several miles from a launch.”

In 1883 Krakatoa erupted in quite a big way. the sound of the eruption was heard 4300km away, and it pretty much blew itself apart, leaving a deep caldera
anyway, since then a new island has been growing up from the depths of that caldera through continued volcanic activity - it’s called Anak Krakatoa (Child of Krakatoa) and these days it’s gettin pretty big, it’s even got trees and stuff, good on ya little guy - keep on truckin…
