Here is one of my pictures from 21 years ago: http://www.greatpix.eu/Other/Stuff-from-the-20th-century/5775622_gTB2p9#!i=357379371&k=Gr54pKn&lb=1&s=O Last night, with my son now 26 and living here in the US, we repeated the exercise. Sadly, Veterans Stadium is no more, replaced by something named after a bank, but the Phillies are still the Phillies. They played the Blue Jays and lost 8-5, mainly due to lousy pitching and fielding, but that was almost secondary to the overall experience. The overall view: http://www.greatpix.eu/All/Picture-A-Day/4253606_kdsZ6C#!i=4289575758&k=3pdbKpK&lb=1&s=O Dusk colours: http://www.greatpix.eu/All/Picture-A-Day/4253606_kdsZ6C#!i=4289575703&k=tNJSkdX&lb=1&s=O The pitch: http://www.greatpix.eu/All/Picture-A-Day/4253606_kdsZ6C#!i=4289575775&k=8ptBJJx&lb=1&s=O Stomach ache in the making: http://www.greatpix.eu/All/Picture-A-Day/4253606_kdsZ6C#!i=4289575715&k=2rZw8d2&lb=1&s=O Seventh inning stretch: http://www.greatpix.eu/All/Picture-A-Day/4253606_kdsZ6C#!i=4289575706&k=gSxsm8H&lb=1&s=O Cheers, Nathan Nathan Wajsman Alicante, Spain http://www.frozenlight.eu <http://www.frozenlight.eu/> http:// <http://www.greatpix.eu/>www.greatpix.eu PICTURE OF THE WEEK: http://www.fotocycle.dk/paws <http://www.fotocycle.dk/paws>Blog: http://nathansmusings.wordpress.com/ <http://nathansmusings.wordpress.com/> Cycling: http://www.crazyguyonabike.com/belgiangator <http://www.crazyguyonabike.com/belgiangator> YNWA _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
