This was fun.  I made a bet about 2 months before the event and finally cashed out today.  Not that I care about or follow football / soccer but it gave me a reason to be interested and entertained over two months.

He gets a street named after him in London.  Can't say it's a brilliant street...cigarette buts, chicken wing bones, napkin and top to it off, puke splatter on the wall.

This is Boadicea.  She is asleep.  She sleeps like it's her job.

You have to love walking around London and in an unexpected moment you get a Banksy-esque image like this one.  Sorta cheers you up.  I really like when someone takes images that are in the popular psyche and giving them a clever twist.

Now, the arches and the dome.  They are from the Mequite or Mezquita.  i was not certain what I should expect from the outside of the building.  The walls are a soft yellow colour and has the look of a castle and not at all a mosque or a cathedral.  Inside is a different story altogether.  Fantastic repeating arches make for a tranquil and contemplative interior of the worlds second largest mosque which is rather rudely interrupted by a cathedral in the centre.

This is me shooting macro.  I don't think you can guess what this is, but it's something you use every day and I just looked at it a different way.  It was shot in film so there are some artifacts post scanning but its a real cracker when you print from the original...or at least that is what the owner of the prints thinks.  He has 3 of them in a public location.

Not really in my direct view but I know its there.  This will be going off for nearly two hours.  No, it's not a test its a freaking faulty system.  When I called the company they said to call the fire department (fire brigade for some) and could not advise me to go into the building because of fire risk.  This is "policy" and a guy who can turn it off only starts work at 9am and then it will take him about 30min to get to you, depending on traffic.

This us what happens on set. No, it does not stay on set

I will be back.

France at speed

There is lots going on here. The votive candles was in the Cathedral of our Lady. As was the pulpit. The picture in black is not black. There are actually eight swans a swimming in this picture. It's not the photographer, it's the camera. Blame Steve jobs if you don't see them. And the tower. Isn't it gorgeous. Also from Our Lady. It's in brick and think about how far you can see it, especially in a country as flat as Belgium. Ok, I had to hit a pub and this one is Punta Est. I am sure it has something to do with bridges given that there are three here. Not that it matters. They serve beer and that is a crucial role of pubs. That and calling a restaurant from earlier other day to retrieve a lost item. The last one? Well, I know you want to be here, but you're not so I took the pic for you. Get yourself to Bruges.
