CC photo #21: Pál gets a kiss on the quay of Drelnes after Belgrade 2008
This is one of my favorite photos ( / swimming moments), despite of it being taken with a crappy DCR-HC96E camcorder meant for filming more than photography. A quay full of people in honor of the arrival of the island of Suðuroy’s triple 2008 European junior champion, Pál Joensen, and that little guy knows how…

Reflecting on the miserable performance of the Europeans, yesterday evening. He told me that it was jet lag…
