About Stephen Rees / Stephen Rees

Semi retired transport economist and planner now running a small photography business and working as a swing bridge operator.

"...man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much - the wheel, New York, wars and so on - whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man - for precisely the same reasons." -- (Douglas Adams)
