Fishing
For most anglers the attraction of fishing is to escape from the rigours of day to day life and get back to nature, even if it is just for a few hours.

As well as regressing to our basic self, there is the added benefit of being in a position to observe, in a contemplative way, the flora and fauna which the waterside offers.

To the casual observer it all looks rather boring and the angler can give the impression of being a rather lonely, solitary individual, but beneath that green brolly often sits a happy, relaxed person.
Team Hoyt
Dick and Rick Hoyt are a father-and-son team from Massachusetts who together compete just about continuously in marathon races. And if they’re not in a marathon they are in a triathlon – that daunting, almost superhuman, combination of 26.2 miles of running, 112 miles of bicycling, and 2.4 miles of swimming. Together they have climbed mountains, and once trekked 3,735 miles across America.
It’s a remarkable record of exertion – all the more so when you consider that Rick can’t walk or talk.
For the past twenty five years or more Dick, who is 65, has pushed and pulled his son across the country and over hundreds of finish lines. When Dick runs, Rick is in a wheelchair that Dick is pushing. When Dick cycles, Rick is in the seat-pod from his wheelchair, attached to the front of the bike. When Dick swims, Rick is in a small but heavy, firmly stabilized boat being pulled by Dick.
Eastern Iowa Adventure
Is this Heaven? No, it’s Iowa.
Friday evening we drove to the Mississippi River and stayed overnight in Clinton.
We spent all day Saturday visiting eastern Iowa attractions.
We started out at the Cable Car in Dubuque.
Then we were off to the Field of Dreams Movie Site in Dyersville. They built it, we came to see it (eighteen years later).
Next, we headed south to the National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa and saw a lot of interesting Old Motorcycles.
Still heading south, we got to the Herbert Hoover National Historic Site with about two hours remaining before it closed for the day.
Peter Callesen
Most recent I have started to make white paper cuts/sculptures inspired by fairytales and romanticism exploring the relationship between two and three dimensionality, between image and reality. I find the materialization of a flat piece of paper into a 3D form as an almost magic process.

Echoes
From the Stanley Kubrick classic, in the end part of the movie, you will find this awesome classic by Pink Floyd synchronized to the ending of the movie.
