10 years already

I thought I was two days early but something tells me cannot be because I wouldn't have enough time to book the tickets for Floriade 2002. Yes, it wasn't the 23rd, it was the 16th.

Ten years already. Feels like such a long time ago. How it happened is permanently etched in my memory, ditto June 1, 1996 too.

This picture was taken on September 4, 2008. That evening we relocated to Dubai, unsure when we can come here again. On hindsight, it was thankfully short.
