Yesterday I thought I was back in Patagonia because of the cold wind and rain. I didn’t expect Hamburg to be so cold in summer, but I am beginning to realize that I should always be prepared for anything. There was a moment of blue sky when I took these pictures, but after that [...]  Here is the full moon in Bangkok captured back on March 20th when it was really close to the Earth.
