This is a view from the vintage De Havilland Dragon Rapide which I was fortunate enough to enjoy a brief flight on today at the Duxford Imperial War Museum.
I took lots more photographs while I was there …
This is a picture of me in a very strange place:
It is actually a part of Ernesto Neto’s The Edges Of The World exhibition at the Hayward Gallery. If you follow my blog you’ll know that I like the Hayward Gallery and have featured it here before. (here, here and here)
I took plenty more pictures of weird and wonderful artworks …
This is the car I’d always wanted. It is a Ferrari F40. I liked it so much growing up that I had a dusty Airfix model of it on my bookshelf.
I took this picture at the start of the Gumball 3000 rally in London. The original picture was a little messy, so I used a photo-editing package (The GIMP - an excellent free tool) to remove the background and rotate the car to level it up a little.
There were all sorts of weird and wonderful vehicles to see at the event …
Snow seems to be a bit of a recurring theme in my blog. Here’s some more, this time from a walk with my parents and brother in Black Hambleton, near Osmotherly.
These pictures are from 2009 but I was a bit slow putting them up.
When this was taken the idea of making a snowman seemed like a bit of a novelty. Now, three weeks later the novelty has started to wear off.
Here’s a couple more pictures so you can admire my handywork …
My parents came to visit last weekend, so while they were here we did some local (for me!) sight seeing.
Here are a few of the pictures I took that I especially liked…
Here is a picture of my house burning down. Nearly.
One of the things that is occasionally at the back of my mind when I come home from work is “What if my house burned down while I was away?” It hasn’t happened yet, but today was as close as it gets.
Been a while since I wrote a blog entry. It’s not that I haven’t been doing much, just nothing that really warranted a full blog entry. I’ve been in Dublin for a while - could have written about that, maybe, but that’s already covered here. This time round I saw the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, although I didn’t get any photos. I say I saw the parade, although mostly I saw the backs of people’s heads as it was a nice sunny day and O’Connell Street was jammed full of people.
So, anyway, here’s a few miscellaneous pictures from my camera:
This one was taken a little while ago (obviously!) - I don’t know why but I thought it was amusing to look out of the window and see my car turned into a white blob. Needless to say it didn’t stay like that for long. I won’t bother to post my Crime Watch style blurred photo of one of the ill-disciplined local children using it as a step to climb over the fence.
You want more pictures?
