Camden Cranes & Boats

2019-10-14T13:49:00.001+01:00

Camden cranes, boats and a tree.

Sitting outdoors at a pub in Camden Market. We had enjoyed a good day at the market. This view stood out, combining the cranes, trees, new buildings and boats by the market food stalls.

Marble Arch. A different and more artistic underground station sign. It just takes the boredom out of traveling on the Underground!

After the Party Glanmire Under a Full Moon

2019-10-03T09:34:00.001+01:00

The Airbnb where we we staying in Glanmire (Cork in Ireland) was in a beautiful spot looking over the Glanmire Valley. We had gone to Cork for a friend’s landmark birthday party.

Like all good birthday parties it finished late. As we arrived at the Airbnb we were greeted with this view, under a full moon, looking towards Cork. Despite a little vodka I was able to grab the shot.

St Colman’s Cathedral in Cobh, Ireland

2019-09-26T12:11:00.001+01:00

St Colman’s Cathedral totally dominates the skyline in Cobh, in Ireland.

We recently visited Cork in Ireland for a long wekend. On our last visit, some years ago, we explored Kinsale and Charles Fort. This time we decided to investigate the little town of Cobh (pronounced like Cove).

Located on the Great Island in Cork Harbour, the town is a fascinating place with some interesting history. Actually we found it interesting enough to visit two days in a row. After all it’s only 20 minutes drive from Glanmire, where we stayed.

While we were there we visited Spike Island (more to come on that trip). As we returned across Cork Harbour, this view of Cobh greeted us, with the town dominated by St Colman’s Cathedral.

Camden Lock Reflections in the Canal

2019-09-24T07:11:00.001+01:00

Golden hour reflections in the canal at Camden Lock.

We had spent a few hours exploring Camden Market. Time to have a drink and a bite to eat before starting the trip home on underground and train.

Actually we have done this a number of times while visiting camden. It’s a good way to end a day trip to London.

A plump pigeon enjoying the late afternoon English spring sunshine.

Arrive at Oia by boat and you have the choice of riding a donkey to the top, or taking a very steep walk. Here the Oia donkeys are heading in for the night, before sunset.

Bunny Chow - a speciality of the Durban area of kwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. Have to have a bunny if I go to Durban. But there's nothing to say i can't make one at home in the UK.
And there are no bunny rabbits involved!

Caught this double-decker Airbus A380 taking off at London Heathrow airport. The captain must have called "gear up" a few seconds before as the wheels have retracted but the gear doors are still open.

Winter nights are not a time when I would choose to go out in the snow. But the shadows in the snow cast by the house lights on the fresh garden snow really intrigued me enough to take a camera outside.
