My Weekend


On Saturday I took the camera with me to the Casa de Campo and I'm glad I did. You never know when you're going to have a photo opportunity. This is the wall along the northeastern limit of the park. This is as close as you can get to the mountains. Click on the pictures to see a larger version.



After taking a few pictures I continued my ride. At one point I heard a siren off in the distance which I thought might be an ambulance. It's not unusual. Some of the biking trails are dangerous. It wasn't long before I discovered what that there was race in progress.



I realized that the circuit or a large part of the race was being held inside the park and that there were still many laps to go. It was a great photo opportunity. So, I got off my bike, sat on the ground and started shooting away. I like taking action shots. There are a lot more things to calculate.



This was a lot of fun!









I wonder how old he is!



This guy doesn't need snow!



I checked out the flowers on the way home.







In the afternoon I went to a demonstration. We were protesting against the way the government is dealing with the terrorists.



It was nice to see so many young people and families. The government claims that only the right wing extemists and members of the opposition party participate in these events. So what does that make me?



As you can see there was a festive atmosphere. The government says that we shouldn't display the flag at these events. I don't understand this.



Sunday was an unusually clear day so I got some nice pictures in the park. This was the most difficult picture of all mainly because I took it myself. I must have spent a good hour here before I got what I wanted.



There's still some snow in the mountains.



I love these trails!











See you in the Casa de Campo!!
