With the new school-year starting less than a week after our return from Europe, there hasn't been time yet to go back and finish organizing/editing the hundreds of photos on my iPhone...Each day, two or three get done in the afternoon...
As a starting point, then, for posting some of those scenes here: some of this summer's scenic runs...A while back I got one of those hand-strappy-water-bottles for running, and conveniently enough, the ID zipper pocket on the side just fits my iPhone:
 |
| (from yesterday morning in Saguaro Nat'l Park) |
So, when I'm not doing my routine neighborhood-morning-run,
my iPhone often comes with me...
...as it did along the trail between the Savannah River and the Augusta Canal, when I was in Georgia back in June:
...Spanish-moss...19th-c. architecture...and lots of water...
=====================================
In Paris, on my first morning back in 11 years,
along the Canal St.-Martin:
 |
| (some thought-provoking street-art...) |
 |
| the Cité des Sciences, Europe's biggest science museum, in the Parc de la Villette |
Staying with some friends on Paris' southwestern edge,
trails in the hilly forest above St.-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse:
===============================
Down to the South of France--
running along the Canal du Midi, near Toulouse:
 |
| a Carpe-Diem-emblazoned-barge-with-a-bike--gotta love it... |
===========================
And then down to Barcelona:
--along the waterfront of the Olympic Village, Frank Gehry's "Peix" (fish) sculpture:
ahh, the Mediterranean...
====================
And then, Madrid:
--starting point, in the Plaza Santa Ana,
in front of our hotel and Hemingway's old haunt:
 |
| A statue of Federico García Lorca, in front of the Teatro Español |
 |
| jogging past Goya, presiding over the entrance to The Prado |
 |
| ....the Parque del Buen Retiro |
...the Palacio de Cristal, originally built in the 19th-c. to house
flora and fauna from the Philippines...
 |
| black swans! |
 |
| across from the entrance to the Park, part of the Prado, housed in what was once the Ballroom of the Buen Retiro Palace |
 |
| storefront: Velázquez' Infanta, with a 'free the Canary Islands' slogan... |
 |
| a freaky mural, while jogging back up the hill to the Plaza |
========================================
Back to Tucson and the Sonoran Desert...
This evening, I went for a quick run in the hills around Sabino Canyon...
...enjoying some of the water that the monsoon has brought...
...and hoping to time it right for sunset:
 |
| Back home. |
Now--back to work, too.
