Lotta Water
St. Louis got between 5 and 10 inches of rain (13 - 25 cm) of rain while we were away, depending on the exact location. Some out of town friends have expressed concern for our safety. Not to worry. The only areas affected were along the Mississippi and a local tributary, the Meramec. There is a good selection of photos on our local newspaper's web site here.
My office is close to Big Muddy so I took a walk out onto Eads Bridge for a look. It's hard to understand how high the water is from the first picture. However, below, there is a street between the light poles and flood wall, with sidewalks on either side. Under normal conditions, there is a good stretch of cobblestone levee sloping down to the left.
Got a few more views to come.

Ciels de décembre
December winter skies, above on Avenue de l'Indépendance Américaine and below on place d'Armes...

Fly me away

For today's City Daily Photo Theme Day I chose as my favorite blog photo of 2015 this shot of mountain- and highrise-flanked Hong Kong airport.
It is a happy reminder of much flying.
From August to November I was lucky to be either running through, or sitting and waiting in, the airports of Tel Aviv, Hong Kong, Sydney, Bangkok, Athens, Vienna, and Berlin.
It was wonderful spending a month in Australia and a month in Austria, first with my dear little grandchildren near Sydney and then with a nice farming community in rural Austria.
And the whipped cream dessert at the end was a visit (my first!) to friendly lovely Vienna!
.
Now go see what other bloggers around the world chose as their favorite shot:

A happy and blessed new year to you all!
