As the Olympics draw to a close (not an Olympics post)

2012

  We haven't really been following the Olympics here - shocking, i know - but we have caught the opening sequence a couple of times.
  Anyway, i've noticed the Olympics opening sequence includes a bright sunny shot of the White Cliffs of Dover.  i've also seen sunny shots of them in some movies lately, and that looks strange to me.

  i think Boom has watched them a bit more.  We saw some diving together.

1976

  Last night he asked if my long-ago trip to Europe included England.  We were there for 5 days of the six weeks.
  Anyway, never reluctant to pull out a scrapbook, i got Volume 3 of The Europe Collection.  About half of it covers the England time, though photos are sparse (film was running low!) and memorabilia & handwriting are much more plentiful.
  Anyway, the White Cliffs of Dover.
  No wonder the sunny views look strange to me.
  Notice that my view of them is more iconically foggy.
