Exploring Montréal the K way — just wandering around with no particular place to go.

I've heard so much about these guys, it was about time I met them! And they're wonderful, of course.

Éli on the right, and her wonderful friend and flatmate/landlady Caro, who was ever so kind in putting up with me as well for a while :)

Midnight sun over Greenland

From a Boeing 747-400 between Los Angeles and London, in the middle of the night. And to make up for the flight, and the others involved in this journey between the UK and North America, I really will be planting several trees — actually planting them, not just paying somebody to offset my carbon guilt. I'm quite excited about it: I've never planted a tree before.

Crack in the sky

# There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in. Thanks Leonard :) This is actually from my first ever trans-Atlantic flight. I spent the trip chatting to my neighbour, a fascinating guy who despite being a vegetarian Hindu, actually worked for the government, involved in designing weapons...

Corinth 2

The Royal Garrison Church of St. George, Grand Depot Road, Woolwich. What a great set of names to conjour with! This ruin was destroyed by a V1 flying bomb during the second world war, but it remains consecrated and is used for memorial services. Driving past it, it looks absolutely stunning — I genuinely thought it might be a shored-up Roman ruin. The main wall behind the altar has an elaborate mosaic of a cavalry rider-cum-St. George which really could come from just about any classical era.

North Woolwich pleasure boat pier

Thanks to Mossy for reminding me that I'd been meaning to experiment with adding borders! ;) This is opposite the North Woolwich Old Station Museum, which was once the terminus of a railway line and is now a small museum to it. It's about to enjoy a renaissance as a museum to all of London's suburban railways, and will include Britain's first main-line-powered electric preserved railway — also to be used for training purposes, which is kinda cool. Aaaanyway, this thing is near the Woolwich Ferry, and when seen from the ferry looks like it might have been its predecessor. But in fact it's too small for cars, and was a foot access to pleasure boats which called here in the middle of the nineteenth century before the area became industrialised.

strange background motion blur

05 Jun 2007 82
Dunno what I think about this. Was actually looking to see if I'd got some sort of mark on my face after poking around in some bushes (don't ask! ;) — and in the absence of a mirror, a camerphone serves well. But the result... well, I think it's kinda interesting to have background rather than foreground motion blur.

How to make an entire pub happy

Just hand out glowsticks! Spot the random older gentleman in the background who, like everyone in the pub except the barman, was delighted with his free glowing bracelet!
