The incredible drowning man (returns)

by | Monday, February 15, 2010

It’s good to be back at Twente, meeting old friends and making some new ones. I had a pretty light day yesterday, which was good because I had gone around 30 hours without any sleep. After checking into the hotel and getting a short but much needed nap, I took a walk around campus. Though I don’t have my trusted D70 with me I did manage to get some pictures. One of the first things I did was go back and catch up with my “man with his head in the water” photo from last year (see him here), though this time his condition seems a bit more critical due to the snow. Here he is.
