the story behind this shot from 7 Jan 2010:
I had spent Christmas and New Year in the sun in Gran Canaria, with morning temperatures around 24C (~75F) in the shade, reasonably warm for the Canaries in January.
Landing back at Glasgow airport the temp was quite a bit colder at -12C (~10F).
Day after I arrived back popped over to visit my friend on the Isle of Cumbrae and we went out for a walk, to find the outdoor curling pond was in use, a once in 10 year occurence. So we had to have a go.

Pana GF-1 20f1.7

Always one of my favourite sports to watch… strangely compelling with all the hushed discussion, the graceful gliding finished off with some frenetic broom action.
Love it!

To say the selection of Desktop images in Sequoia is pathetic is a gross understatement. Anyways here's the one I put together for my personal account on the new Mac mini.

Shot with the Nikon Z50.

With the temperature drop, over 700 manatees sought warmth in the half mile long spring run where the water temp is 72 degrees year-round.
