By looking, you will learn to see. [..]

Leonard Nimoy (*) writes On Photography (*):

You must master (*) your craft and then put it aside and concentrate (*) on the more difficult aspect of the work.

• What is it that you want to do (*) with that craft?
• What do you want to express (*)?
• What do you want to explore (*)?
• What do you want to find out (*)?
• What do you want to present (*) to people?

Those are the issues that you have to search (*) for.

Cheers - Madrid (Sat 10 Aug 2013)
Chris Horner (*) talks On Chris Horner (*):

I keep reading that that Horner is in the best form of his career. This is not the best form of my career. I have won 80 races in my career. Maybe I haven’t had the opportunity to show it in a grand tour before but I’ve always been underrated throughout my career. I’ve not been given the responsibility when I think I should have.

The little S110 does another amazing job. The detail in the original is amazing.

Street Music - Madrid (Sat 10 Aug 2013)

Street Music - YouTube (*) Madrid / Spain (Sat 10 Aug 2013)
We were just wandering the back streets and passageways of Madrid not far from where were staying and we could hear music.

It was hot and as we got closer the music got louder. It was coming from the open window of a top storey apartment.

Like a few others, we stopped in the shade to listen to the music. It seemed to be live and that there was a small group playing in the tiny apartment.

I have tried to decipher the lyrics but I can't determine the songs name. Will keep trying but at least I have this. Fantastic.
