Polish & Scottyish

10 May 2008 107
An oldy, since I'm archiving some stuff. Adam gets busy while Scotty drinks beer. I won't suggest that this is an example of anything... (In actual fact, they're trying to get a frisbee out of a tree!)

Shake hooves

12 Aug 2008 94
Apparently these horses were one of the most important and lavish grave goods items in 7th Century China. I was absolutely stunned to discover that it's possible to own something this old. This one is in a gallery, and of course galleries and musea have such things. But I recently found one in a coin-collectors' shop in London. Not quite so pretty (standing on all four legs) but in unmistakably the same style, and for £950. That's a lot of money, but for something that's over 1,000 years old..! I don't know how much this one with the raised foreleg would cost, but I WANT ONE!

Picadilly on a Sunday

13 Jun 2005 47
Until I walked past it this day, I hadn't realised that there's a kind of market along Picadilly on Sundays. Very touristy but a feast to look at. And a single-yellow line for the market traders to park on — a top tip for central London parking, should some silly mission ever require it...

Reflected light

This is me & Hazel in the midst of our "photo treasure hunt" around London. My attempts to capture St. Paul's reflected in the fragmented bezel of a jeweller's display under the Oxo Tower were about as successful as they sound like they should have been (not very) but I'm really pleased with this alternative. It's directly shot at the outside of the window of the Tate Modern's upstairs coffee shop ( i.e. looking in). Reminds me that I've not yet got a polariser for any of the Nikon's lenses. Hmm.
