Nokia to BlackBerry

I’ve been a Nokia customer for years.

My first phone was a ‘Nokia Orange’ – the old 2140 brick.

Since then I’ve had lots of different Nokia phones; the only exception was a dreadful Motorola for a few months.

I’ve now had to make a choice – and I’m moving to a BlackBerry 8800.

Email on the move. Sad – but an indication of how things are changing.

Ouch

Never ignore the cones in the construction zone.

Seen on State Street at about 10000 South in Sandy.

Guess someone has some explaining to do. That thing wasn’t coming out of the 3 foot deep pipe trench.

Yonghegong Lama Temple

I visited the Yonghegong Lama Temple in Beijing yesterday with Laurence.

It is one of the largest Tibetan Buddhist monastries in the world; there is considerable controversy about the political freedom of the Tibetan Buddhists – certainly the monks in the monastry were all goverment approved.

That aside – it was a very tranquil and relaxing end to the day. The road to the monastry was lined with shops selling insense sticks; the smell of sandalwood was incredible.

Two more large panoramas – they are large files so download may be slow. The originals are massive.
