Aftermath

Well, the mid-term elections are over and I'm wondering: where are all the analyses of the accuracy of the polls? Where are the cries of anguish over lost votes? Could it be that the voting machines turned out to be 100% accurate?


Has it anything to do with the fact that the not-Republican party come out on top?

A foretaste of winter has arrived. Over-night frosts and a cold, dry, north wind has been blowing. Geneva is often under a haze, or even in a fog, from the damp air over the lake trapped between the pre-Alps and the Jura. The north wind, La Bise, blows all this away revealing a blue sky and clear autumn light. Just the thing for a few photos:















If you look carefully at sky around the gull, you will see the bad news - there is dirt INSIDE the lens producing little dark splodges on the image. Sounds expensive . . .
Update: No, the dirt is on the filter in front of the sensor - standard problem apparently.
