Monkeys at Cheetah Rock wildlife sanctuary.
Domesticated zebra
This is one of the worlds only domesticated zebra’s. We saw it at the Cheetah Rock wildlife sanctuary.
Tiger
We got to see this stunningly beautiful tiger at the Cheetah Rock wildlife sanctuary. The first image was taken as close as it looks, and no, there was no cage protecting me! We had to sit with our butts firmly planted against the edge of his cage, while the sanctuary worker took this majestic beast […]
Lions
We saw this amazing lions at the Cheetah Rock wildlife sanctuary.
Puma
This amazing little puma was locked in a tiny little cage at Cheetah Rock wildlife sanctuary. This looked harsh, but his carers explained that he had been injured when sent from a zoo to their sanctuary as he didn’t cope well with being caged like that. So they were training him to be around humans […]
Lemur
We saw this adorable lemur at the Cheetah Rock wildlife sanctuary.
Hyena
Up close and personal with a hyena at the Cheetah Rock wildlife sanctuary in Zanzibar.
Blubber over time
Strattic ad
It’s weird seeing products you’ve worked on show up in Facebook ads. I had a similar experience with MitoQ too.
First attempt at sushi
My first attempt at making sushi. It tasted great ?
Cheetah’s at Cheetah Rock
Basia and I visited Cheetah Rock, an animal sanctuary in Zanzibar. Unsurprisingly, a cheetah is the main attraction. This particular Cheetah will never be able to return to the wild due to being too domesticated, but this thankfully meant that we were allowed to pet him. I took over camera duties rather than petting the […]
Coding in the park
Stuck in the Serengeti
One would think that when you’ve driven past a bunch of lions, cheetahs, hyena’s and other scary animals, that one would panic when your vehicle gets stuck in the mud. But our trusty driver had no hesitation in hopping out to assist another stricken vehicle. After a while, we got bored just sitting around, so […]
Undiecar, the final race …
The Undiecar Championship will be ending soon. Many little boys dream of becoming a racing driver. I had that dream, but I also dreamed of running my own race car series. I was always frustrated with how major racing series were run. I always felt they took themselves too seriously. Isn’t the point of sport […]
Tortoise’s
We got to see these cool little tortoises in the Cheetah Rock wildlife sanctuary in Zanzibar.
Zebra in the Serengeti
Relaxing in Tiergarten
Millipede
I stood on something in Zanzibar, and yelped when I saw I’d stomped on this little dude. Thankfully he seemed to take it pretty well and just kept on trucking.
Zanzibar insect
I have no idea what this little dude was, but he landed directly beside me while staying at a beach side hotel in Zanzibar.
Me at Factory coworking
Art
I assembled a pile for cushions to block the air conditioner from hitting Cassienne, and we decided it looked like an art exhibit ?
Greenery on way to Ngorongoro
View of the lush green hills surrounding Ngorongoro national park in Tanzania.
Shrimp fried rice
Magic potion evening
Zanzibar Spice Farm
We visited a spice farm in Zanzibar. If you ever go to Tanzania, then I highly recommend this for an afternoon activity. The people running the spice farm were super friendly and excited to share their knowledge of the spice industry. They also farmed a lot of fruit, which was a lot tastier and more […]
Termite mound
Check out this giant termite mound we found in Tarangire national park in Tanzania!
Zebra herd
A beautiful herd of zebras came plowing over this hill in Tarengire national park, to come drink from the river.
Baboons
We met these little guys at the entrance to the Serengeti national park in Tanzania. Documentaries I had seen explained that baboons would tear your face off at the first opportunity, but we were surrounded by swarms of them and they were mostly quite standoffish around us. They were more interested in breaking into cars […]
Nostalgia
Dinner in Zanzibar
Food isn’t a strong point of Tanzania in my opinion. But while there, Basia and I did manage to track down a couple of restaurants with decent food.
Chameleon
Near the entrance to Serengeti national park, I found a large number of chameleon’s hanging out on rocks. Unfortunately, they usually ran away whenever I tried to get near, but I did manage to snap this picture of one of these little beauties before it took off.
Zebras in Ngorongoro Conservation Area
I’ve always thought of zebra’s as majestic animals. I never thought I would think of them like sheep on the side of the road, but after four days of plodding through the Tanzanian wilderness, they had just become the standard animal that see everywhere. It seemed that no matter where you looked, there were zebra’s! […]
Swimming with dolphins
Basia and I went swimming with dolphins on Zanzibar in Tanzania. I definitely want to try this again some time. It was super fun.
Camp bird
I have no idea what this bird is, but it was a giant graceful thing which just slowly meandered into our camp site near Ngorongoro Conservation Area. It seemed to be very tolerant of humans and only backed off when I got right up in it’s face with a camera. EDIT: David Lockie pointed out […]
Dinner
Pak choy Zuchini Chilli Cashew nuts Jasmine rice Hoisin sauce White pepper Vegetable stock MSG
Bushbaby’s
We got to hang out with some Bushbaby’s at the Cheetahs Rock animal sanctuary in Tanzania. Bushbaby’s are small primates which are native to Africa. They were very friendly and seemed to enjoy getting to hang out with humans for a bit.
Elephants in Tarangire national park
I’ve seen elephants all of the world, but they have always been tortured animals kept in captivity. But when visiting Tarangire national park in Tanzania, I saw more elephants than I’d seen in the rest of my life, but they were free! These huge graceful animals were just plodding about the countryside and didn’t seem […]
Magdeburg
Some photos from a recent trip to Magdeburg.
Gimbal cam
Tanay was making a video of our trip back Magdeburg on the train, so I snapped this picture of his setup with my new camera.
First picture on new camera
I bought a Ricoh GRIIIx and this is the first picture I took with it 🙂
Raccoon
Basia and I saw a raccoon in Plänterwald today. It was adorably cute and came very close to us. It kept diving in and out of this rubbish bin, hunting for food.
Smoking
Pfauninsel
Basia and I lost our hiking group, so decided to make a detour to Pfauninsel, which translates to Peacock island in English. It has a total of 30 peacock’s roaming about the island, along with more who live in protective cages.
Stupidity
They feel something, then think in depth about their feelings, and then validate those feelings as their new conception of reality, never having to expose that process to the objective light of anything/anyone external. And the problem is that subjectively of course, that feels exactly the same as a truth arrived at by more rigorous […]
Psychedelic hike idea
This is a plan under development … ATTENDEE LIMIT = 20 MUST DO NUMBER COUNT AND MAKE SURE NOBODY DROPS OFF INADVERTENTLY. DATE = Saturday 2022-06-04 This event is being run in conjunction with the Psychedelic Society Berlin (https://www.facebook.com/groups/364225797498545) and is open to anyone with an interest in the wonderful world of psychedelics. Our intention […]
NATO membership
There’s a heated discussion currently about whether Finland and Sweden should join NATO. The Russian government views this as a provocation, despite NATO having never shown any indications of threatening Russia. Imagine a world where the conversation was about whether Russia should join NATO. This could have happened if the Russian government didn’t shove it’s […]
Memorial to the Sinti and Roma people
Julia and I visited the memorial to the Sinti and Roma people who died during World War 2.
Blue Lotus wine
Teufelsberg spy station
I finally visited the former NSA spy station on top of Teufelsberg in Berlin. I’ve walked around it, to it, toward it and anything else you can imagine, but never went into it. I went with my friend Diana who was visiting for the weekend.
Blasphemy
Just because the law defines something as a crime, does not mean it is something that should be prosecuted. New Zealand has a blasphemy law. Police don’t waste their time prosecuting people for being blasphemous because they know it’s a stupid law. The same should apply to weed. – Ryan Hellyer
