Cafe Culture

The weather in Switzerland was glorious; Nyon & Geneva look beautiful in the sunshine! This is one of my favourite streets in Nyon, with a wonderful cafe and marketplace.

Holidays

Greg — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 13:47:54 +0000

So I have returned from my six months in Abu Dhabi and am currently enjoying six weeks of holiday before starting back at work as a qualified solicitor! I’ve had a fabulous two weeks in Switzerland (Nyon & Rosswald) and in Italy (Milan) with some great weather. This is one of my favourite photos I’ve taken [...]

Sunset on Abu Dhabi

Greg — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 16:48:51 +0000

So my time in Abu Dhabi is coming to an end. I fly home to London next Friday and begin 6 weeks of qualification leave…I am incredibly happy that in a few weeks I will be a qualified lawyer and an associate in a Bank Finance department. But before that, I have lots to do and [...]

Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan Mosque

Greg — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 14:36:36 +0000

The Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan Mosque is a breathtaking piece of architecture and is an incredible sight as you drive onto of off the main island of Abu Dhabi. I’ve visited a number of times since arriving in Abu Dhabi and I never fail to be impressed. I’ll miss this welcome sight on my [...]

Ticklish

Greg — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 15:22:03 +0000

One of the reasons for being back in London these past two weeks was to celebrate my 26th birthday with Carol, who had flown over from Milan to spend a week in London. We had lots of fun! Unfortunately (!!), Carol has discovered that I am very ticklish and she isn’t, which is most unfair…this was [...]

Green and pleasant land

After 3.5 months in the desert (Abu Dhabi), I have finally made a short trip back to London to, among other things, celebrate my birthday with friends. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to spend a couple of days back in the Cotswolds with family. I was lucky to have a beautiful summer’s evening with [...]

Royal Stables, Abu Dhabi

Greg — Sat, 29 May 2010 17:27:33 +0000

A friend in Abu Dhabi has recently bought a horse and I jumped at the chance of heading up to the Royal Stables to take some photos. I’ve never taken many ‘portraits’ of the equine variety although fortunately am very comfortable around horses! Over two early-morning visits, I think I picked up some useful [...]

WOMAD Abu Dhabi 2010 Photos

Greg — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 11:13:02 +0000

This week was the second outing for WOMAD Abu Dhabi and I was fortunate enough to get a press pass for the first two evenings. There is SO much going on at these festivals; I concentrated my efforts on two cracking bands, Babylon Circus and Trans-Global Underground. There was disappointment after Damien Marley pulled out of [...]

Photos For Sale

Greg — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 12:28:35 +0000

The majority of my photos are on two Flickr accounts (see links on the right) and some appear on Facebook, however I have been approached a number of times by people wanting to either purchase prints or a digital download of some of my better photos. After a two week trial, I have signed up [...]

Red Bull Air Race

Greg — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 05:38:34 +0000

After an epic Friday with the ‘trainee’ gang (meaning an all-you-can-eat brunch, PJ O’Reillys (Royal Meridian), Pearls & Caviar (Shangri La), Chameleon (The Fairmont) and then Etoiles (Emirates Palace), rest and recuperation was required. Up early to grab our spots on the beach, we ended up having a great view of the Red Bull Air Race [...]
