The Week In Review
Another great list as usual Hendrick. Thanks for the mention. Happy Easter.
ReplyDeleteLoved the chilled out packrafting video Hendrik, although those feet/shoes (?) are creepy! An excellent assortment of interesting links to follow, as ever. Thanks for compiling it (and for the inclusion!)
ReplyDeleteI think I've finally figured out the secret of getting into this useful feature...wonder what others we're missing!.
ReplyDeleteI think your photography has reached the point where the pictures stand on their own. I'm increasingly jealous.
ReplyDeleteNice tunes.
ReplyDeleteMant thanks for those kind words, Jolly Green Giant! There is still place to improve - I have a few ideas =)
ReplyDeleteGeoff, I tried several times to access your latest article but got an 404 error on it. Otherwise it surely would have been included.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter Tim!
ReplyDeleteSo that's why my daily hits tripled overnight. Thanks Hendrik :) I guess I have some more reading to do, now.
ReplyDelete-Guthook
Test comment from iPhone. Ignore :)
ReplyDeleteLoved the packrafting video - great way to spend an afternoon :) Another great compilation of the week's best.
ReplyDeleteI'll take that shout out. Tak!
ReplyDeleteNice review as usual! Thanks for putting the effort and sharing. Also, thanks for introducing such a great artist as the one on the video... filled my spotify playlist:)
ReplyDeleteYeah, they also filled my Spotify playlist very quickly. Your email isn't forgotten, btw :|
