In some places on the Oregon coast, the blows of the wind create micro sand storms near the surface.

Returning from Heidelberg, Germany (2005)

Why is this train from Heidelberg to Frankfurt so empty?

My dad used to have a couple of Heidelberg machines in a print shop he co-owned with a partner.

In December 2007, I saw one of these machines, from the 1950s, out of use but still standing, in a basement print shop in Kerman, Iran

Fruit Shake Stand

This is a fruit shake stand in Tehran. These types of fruit stands have existed far longer than any Jamba Juice. I remember them from 40 years ago. They always had great shakes. You just need to be careful to go to one that is busy with customers. There are a couple of good ones in the Sa'di square.
