My World no 14 - recycling

It's a lot of recycling going on in Adelaide too, like in the rest of the world. This trailer here are pot full of drinking cans. Makes some kilos of aluminum.

The Scouts Recycling Centre is quite busy all the time and the boys there have developed a good speed to the procedures of sorting out all the different stuff we are dragging in.

The pigs are recycling in a more peaceful and friendly environment. . .

Skywatch no 14 on the way to Mundoora

It’s challenging to take photos in 100km/h and it’s fun. I wanted to present the ridge with the new windmills that we saw from Red Hill last week, but I liked these shots better.
(I didn’t do the driving)

My World no 13

It's a lot of things happening, so I'll just show you a group of Australian White Ibis taking of from a patch of "soak" land and the Railway station in Port Germein.

Here is The Ghan, that has just been in the media all over the world. This pictures are taken by my sister in law, Denise, in 2004. That was the very first time The Gahn could drive all the way up to Darwin from Adelaide and not just to Alice Springs. Of course there was a lot of people from town watching while the train was waiting on the side line at Port Germein station.

My world no 12 Two nights in a row and a day

To nights in a row and suddenly ahead of my usual humanly timescale. What will my views be like now? It's 13 years since last time. It certainly doesn't feel that long.
Hi, Mary Elizabeth! Sorry I didn't pop in, but I was in such a rush,
Fra Sydney
I got the sunrise in Sydney though! and then it was nearly takeoff again.

Fra Australia
There is IKEA!. Are they sitting next to every airport or am I back in Toulouse, Montpellier, Marseille or purhaps in Sweden :)
Fra Australia
No, it's the right place. Adelaide here I come, thirteen years since last time. And there are my brother and sister in law, so we can leave? No, no suitcase. No worries, it will come on the next flight from Sydney. See ya.
Fra Adelaide
Next stop, Royal Adelaide Hospital . We drove past the reckognition ceremony for the Aboriginals that also fought in the wars that Australia has been participating in. I think they are setting up for the ceremony since there where few people there and it was very early in the morning.
Fra Australia - Port Germein
Inside the hospital we passed this new dedication made for the people and the companies that has made contributions to this hospital. It was set up in an atrium made for a resting area. 
Fra Australia - Port Germein
This place moved me because the people at Royal Adelaide Hospital has given my brother back the mobility possibilities back in his left hand. And they have made an ubelieveably good work also. Now it’s down to the training, training, train,…………..They have given another hand back.
Fra Australia - Port Germein
Suddenly I was sitting there helping out stitching together a sheep skin mitten to keep the hand warm. And after several appointments thru the day we could finally head for Port Germein. What a journey it has been!
