A walk in Tilden park,I

I had a walk today in Tilden Park. The weather was nice as well as the scenery. Here some pictures:


This picture is taken at the start of the Sylvan/Peak trail, just after Jewel lake.
Not sure if these are juniper berries. I doubt it.

Not sure what this is either. Looks like a big dried up 'distel'

On the top of wild cat peak, this nice bird was about his business. 

Hey, don't disturb me! I am rebuilding a protein model!

Foundersday 1

Banu had to work yesterday and Shakthi and I went to the 'Founders day' 75-th year celebration of the foundation of Berkeley Nat. Labs.
Shakthi got a nice pair of safety glasses which she is showing off here.
It was a nice day. 

A day in San Francisco

Op de pier verwarde Shakthi een zeemeeuw met een gans...

Bankje

See here a transvestite on a public bench in Amsterdam opposite of the 'Rookerij' close to Muntplein.
This bench (or actually the one next to it) was the usual place where two friends and me used to chill during our pub (or sometimes city) crawls.
To celebrate the succesfull PhD defense of a friend of mine, we had a commemorative plate placed on this bench.


This picture was taken by my sister during the Gay Parade last saturday.

X9B

I found this picture of my wife on the web. She is collecting X-ray diffraction data at beamline X9B of the NSLS. This picture was taken approximately one month before our daughter was born.

Shakthi was wat onwennig op het strand, maar had het toch naar haar zin ....

The ocean was somehow very blue today. I was told it is not always like that. Not sure why though. 

Opa

The lighthouse is nice as well ....

Went to Point Reyes today. Really beautifull overthere, albeit a bit windy.

Bad influence

Will was here. He was being a bad influence as usual.
Was good to see him though. Couldn't force him into a hair cut though...
