Fair Warning

My brother and his wife were kind enough to but me a new standard zoom for Christmas, a lens I've been putting through its paces over the last few days. Expect quite a few photographs on here over the coming days…


Mother Courage & Her Children

Once upon a time, I had plans to write a review here, but this photo sat as the sole content of the draft post for six months. So, facing up to reality, I'll just share this photo of stage set and audience, done using AutoStitch on the iPhone.

I assume whomever donated The Best Bed & Breakfast 1998 to the Estates Gazette charity lending library is under the illusion that we have a couple of time travellers in the office.

I did a little scanning last night of random photos I had lying around, so I could shred the originals and keep the digital copy.

Mugs in Mousehole targeted at fans of Doctor Who, Spooks or Robin Hood. (Are there any fans of Robin Hood?)


The Most Fun You Can Have at St Michael's Mount

So, we visited St Michael's Mount yesterday, and very enjoyable it was too. And we discovered the most fun you can have there:

  1. Wait for the tide to come in
  2. At the point the causeway starts to get covered in water, get a good vantage point on the hill
  3. With binoculars or a decent telephoto lens, enjoy the sufferings of the those who tried to beat the tide:
Causeway-walkers
The boat across, incidentally, is a grand total of £1.50, and a great ride.
