Reunion Concert Pictures
As promised in an earlier post last month I've posted some photographs taken at the 2007 Reunion Concert held in benefit for the John Eastwood Hospice. Only half of the pictures have been posted here, the rest can be viewed on my flickr account.
Pictures of Madrid
Back in June last year I
spent time working away in Madrid, Spain. I managed
to find a few hours to walk around the centre of
Madrid visiting the famous landmarks such as the
Santiago Football Stadium (Estadio Santiago). I've
sorted through the pictures and picked out 30 for a
photo album on my site for you to view. Don't forget
if you have any comments please feel free to leave
them using the comments link below. To view the
Madrid 2007 album click on the image above or on the

Madrid Photo Album
Copenhagen
I've just posted a new photo album of pictures taken during a recent business visit to Copenhagen, Denmark. It was a short last minute visit I took just before taking my holiday in Cornwall. Copenhagen is a beautiful city but unfortunately I didn't have much time to explore. To see the full photo album click here.
Neighbourhood Cows
As mentioned in my last post the weather during our stay in Cornwall has not been the best so unfortunately I've not been able to take as many photographs as I had hoped and planned to. The only pictures I've managed to take have been of our current neighbours, a heard of cows and some distant shots of surfers on Fistral Beach in Newquay. I need to check how the surfer pictures have turned out and whether or not they are worth posting, but for now here are the pictures of the neighbourhood cows! You can also few some of my previous postings of images taken in Cornwall during 2003 and some others taken in 2005.
Moscow
Earlier this year I was
given a unique opportunity to work in Moscow, Russia. During my
visit as well as meeting some great work
colleagues I was able to spend some time in the
city visiting the likes of Red Square and
the Kremlin. My hotel, The Renaissance was
situated next to the Moscow Olympic
Stadium erected for the 1980 games.
The city was not what I had expected, it was much
more and is definitely a place I hope to spend more
time getting to know in the future. The locals I met
where friendly and very interesting and I was lucky
not to have experienced many language problems. It's
weird but having visited Russia the world almost
feels smaller now. If you ever get such an
opportunity to visit Moscow I would tell you to jump
at it, everything about it is interesting from its
history, the people, the architecture, it's culture
and the treasures such as the Fabergé Eggs
found in the Kremlin.
The weather was cold, it averaged around -10 degrees
Celsius, but dropped as low as -27 according to the
local news, we also experienced 20 cm of snow fall on
some days. As well as the 50 plus photographs which
I've posted tonight I also took some video footage
using my Sony digital still camera. depending on how
this turns out when edited I hope to post this in the
next week or so. Until them you can click here or on the photograph
above to view my Moscow photo album.
The Lakes
I was talking to a colleague last week and trying to explain about why we like to go up to the lakes so much. I thought I'd got some pictures on my web site to show him but I was wrong. Therefore I decided to sort some old pictures of the lakes out and post them. Well here they are. I'm not totally sure what year they where taken but I do know that they are of Wasdale Water and the surrounding area. The white building in some of the pictures is Wasdale Head Inn, a great place to stay if you want to visit the lakes. I hope you enjoy these photographs for now, we have many more of Wasdale and other places up in the lakes. One day I will get around to posting them too.
Monaco 2006
Earlier this year in September I spent some time in Monaco whilst attending a job interview and providing an overview of Linux to some of my work colleagues in the Monaco office . Luckily I remembered to take one of my cameras with me and managed to get some snaps. Unfortunately I arrived after days of storms and the weather wasn't the best and for the most part was very cloudy. I've added the photographs to the site, and if you wish you can click here to view the slideshow now. Whilst on in Monaco I also took some video of an helicopter flight between Monaco and Nice airport. Depending on how it turns out once edited I will most likely post this too.
Benalmadena, Marbella and Puerto Banus
Sorry all, I'm still
waiting for the universal version of FCE so still no
movies to post but here's some more photographs. My
latest photo album contains 37 photographs taken
during our break earlier this year to Southern Spain.
Pictures include the award winning Benalmadnea and
Puerto Banus marinas where you can literally see
£Millions worth of ocean going yachts and boats. To
enjoy the slideshow click here.
Canada Trip
More Photographs added this week, this time from Canada. These latest pictures were taken during the SARS outbreak in April/May 2003 which fortunately didn't really effect our visit. Day to day life seemed to be as usual despite the outbreak and everyone we met were very open and friendly, they could chat and wanted to for hours! The trip got us thinking that may be we'd like to move out and live in Canada later in our lives if we had the opportunity. It really is a great way of life and as I mentioned above the locals are great. Most of the photographs with exception of the tram were taken of the Niagara Falls and town. The tram was taken in downtown Toronto on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Click here to watch the slideshow now.
The Maldives
As promised I'm
continuing to sort through my many photographs taken
over the years, and once in order post as online
photo albums here on my site for anyone to see and
comment on. My latest album posted earlier today
consists of pictures taken whilst on holiday in the
Maldives November 2003. We visited the Island of
Meeru which is situated
in the same Atoll as Male. We had hoped to, and
had booked to visit Meeru again in January 2005
but unfortunately the Tsunami Disaster
prevented this. We will definitely be visiting the
Maldives again, to me it is one of if not my
favourite holiday destination so far.

Tunisia Photographs
To complete my posts of content taken from our trip to Tunisia in 2000 I've managed to get some photographs taken on a Pentax 35mm camera converted to an electronic format. The images follow our camel ride to visit the troglodyes who still live in caves on the edge of the Sahara Desert and then the amazing ruins of El Djem. The videos posted over the last month or so covering footage from this trip are also available in my video archive. To view the Tunisia photographs click here now. Enjoy!!
London
Another set of
photographs, this time taken in London on a cloudy
Saturday morning at the end of May 2004. Most of the
pictures were taken from the top of the London Eye.
So if you want to see what a cloudy and cold London
looks like click here.
As a foot note, depending on how my assessment goes
later today, I may be ok to go back to work soon.
This means less posts I'm afraid. I'm actually hoping
'Friday the 13th' is a good sign, and that my
physiotherapy is going well. :)
Pinnawela Elephant Orphanange
During our tour of Sri-Lanka in November 2000 we were able to spend a full day with the elephants at the world famous elephant orphanage at Pinnawela. These photographs were taken using a small point and shoot 1.3 megapixel camera. However we also took a number of photographs with a standard 35mm which I also hope to add to this album at some later date when I get them converted to a digital format. To view the Pinnawela album so far click here. I will make further posts to notify you when I update this album with images taken on the 35mm camera.
Wreck Photographs
The next photo album I've published online contains more photographs taken last year in Barbados. This time they are images taken whilst diving on a shallow wreck just off the beach in Bridgetown. These snaps were taken using my Sony DSC-P8 digital camera with a 40 m underwater housing. I hope you find the world of the oceans as interesting as I do. Click here to view the slideshow.
Barbados Snaps
I'm still sorting through my many photographs taken over the years looking for snaps to publish online. This time I've added 20 pictures taken whilst in the Caribbean on Barbados during January last year. To watch the slideshow click here or on the thumbnail above. I also have some video footage taken in Barbados which I will edit and publish online at some point in the future.
St Ives Photographs
I've managed to download some of the photographs we took whilst in Cornwall over the Christmas break and published them as an album on the site. Click here or on the photo above to view. Hope you enjoy them, I'm going to make a start editing the video footage I recorded and hopefully publish a video blog of the trip by the new year.
Content Added
Once again hope you all have a great christmas, and all the best for the new year.
