This not only applies to travel, but has some relevance for life itself.
About Me
- The Thumbnail Traveler
- Welcome to the online blog for traveler/writer/photographer Steven Barber. Come in. Relax. Take off your shoes and socks -- or any other article of clothing, this is the internet. Have a look around. I hope to intrigue, amuse, entertain, and maybe provoke you just a little. I love to find adventure. All I need is a change of clothes, my Nikon, an open mind and a strong cup of coffee.

Pic of the Day: STOP!
The ground crew guides an airliner in with a series of gestures using bright orange (red?) sticks -- they even glow at night.
The crossed X indicates the pilot is to stop where he/she is.
The hope is, they do.
(I've never seen one overshoot the mark -- but we've all seen the movie Airplane!, right? The 747 crashing through the plate glass window at the gate? Yeah, still haunted.)
