Are they trying to take us for a fool?

This article I found in our local newspaper.
"Despaired this man is adhering to a pole in Becliff, Texas: Hurricane 'Ike' has caused serious destruction at the Texas coast line."

When he is adhering that serious, why is his shirt so sag, why are the trees in the background standing quit still and how is the photographer secured??
When the wind is blowing that strong, why he uses just one hand to hold? The second hand is pushing into his side?!? It's looking like he pushes up his body into this pose. Don't you think?

countdown is running...

today I received my flight-tickets. Leaving at 16.01.2008 at 1.40pm from Frankfurt to Tokyo. In Tokyo is a stopover of 2 days, so I arrive in New Zealand 20.1.2008 around 12.35am in Auckland.
Puhh 11 hours to Tokyo and 14 hours from Tokyo to Auckland....quit a long journey to the other side of the world. But with Valentin and Stef, I guess the time will run on the plane :-) looking forward, but some strange feelings coming up as well.
