Once again, the Weekly Photo Challenge and Ailsa’s Travel Theme are in uncanny synergy—this week, the two themes are Future Tense and Time.
And here’s a photo that seems to me to symbolize these two themes. I know many of you have seen it before. But that was back in November. Time has passed, and what was then the Future has now most likely become the Present…
... kayaked the waters around New York for more than 15 years in his red Feathercraft folding kayak. He was originally from (the former) Czechoslovakia and lived in the U.K. and California before settling down in New York. He was a neuroscientist at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City. He died in 2016.
... is a kayaker and technology researcher at Nemertes Research. She's an erstwhile engineer, particle physicist, and science fiction writer. She was born in California and has lived in Italy, Norway, Hawaii, and a few other places. She currently resides in New York City.
