Travel Diary Day 39
(My travel blog - strange-lands.com/daily/2012/08/20/cliffs-at-ngobaran-beach/)

Rachel could never be a criminal. When she’s passing through customs she’s always got a suspicious look on her face. She’s trying too hard to not look like a terrorist. Her face goes red and she’s got a weird, Joker-style smile.

We had four hours to kill before check in. The battery died on my laptop. I told her I’d look for a power outlet. When I returned she accused me of taking too long. Apparently it should in no way take 15 minutes to walk the length of the airport and back. I confessed. I’d found a TV screen and was watching the football highlights.

I thought I’d timed it just right so that she wouldn’t notice. I even came back pretending to be out of breath. She’s getting better at detecting things.

I saw an old man today having a pee in the urinal (I wasn’t watching him – I just noticed him. Let that be known) today. After he’d finished he pressed the flusher button on the top, put his hands into the urinal and washed his hands in the running water.

We are 45 minutes away from jumping on our 19th flight this year. Rachel used to believe that airplane seats were made to absorb people’s bottom gas. She also convinced me of this since I hadn’t recalled smelling anything sinister on a plane before. I was recently embarrassed to discover that it wasn’t true. Thanks for nothing Rachel!

Today’s Photo – Another natural halo

As I mentioned the other day, I love natural halos in HDR. It’s the detail you can show in an otherwise blackened area that peaks my interest. Sometimes these can be mistaken for uncontrolled halos, as a reader of my blog once mentioned.

This was taken at Ngobaran beach just north of Jogjakarta with some very generous Indonesian friends who offered to drive us all the way here for a photo session.
