Venus, Jupiter and the crescent moon
my long faithful (we figure 5yrs), but now dead Canon took this (blurry cuz I had no steadying surface, sorry) as its last night photo on Sunday night.
On the left and below are Jupiter and Venus (according to a web search) and the largest light is a crescent moon… it was pretty cool to behold walking up the street to the Luper’s. Joanna and I have been collaborating on what the replacement camera that best fits my use over here could be… CLICK here to see what I’m thinking about.

the last picture ever
Sadly, I broke my camera today. It served me well for, well, um, maybe 7 years? I was always pleased with it but today it died. I post this picture a cake in the shape of the Vac cathedral since it was the last picture ever taken by my trusty Canon Power Shot SD 850 IS. It served me well, who knows how many thousands of pictures from so many countries it took. Thanks for your good service Canon.

last pic from Belgrade
I had a great 19 hours getting introduced to Belgrade. This is a capital city indeed, it has Hapsburg influence to be sure, but there was influence I recognized from Kyiv, indeed on the bus coming in we passed the airport and went down this wide, straight highway that looked like coming into Kyiv. But in the city, I felt I could have been in parts of NYC. The influences were wide. Below, I’m heading for the railway station, but I hope to return.
On the train, I shared a compartment with a Serb from Montenegro who was born in Bosnia but fled before the war. It was a lively discussion about history and politics which the Lord allowed to turn to Himself. I shared with my new friend that God’s love for him is complete because of the finished work of Jesus. I taught him the Jesus prayer and urged him to meditate on 1 John. I am going to keep up with him via the internet. I could see in his eyes that he is open to knowing God more deeply. I was glad for this divine appointment.
