Random Family Photo: Hill Snow
A random photo from my scanning of old family negatives. This is Dollar, my childhood neighbourhood, in the midst of winter snow. This was taken sometime in the late 1980s - probably 87 or 88, I'd guess, and was the work of my Mum.
As autumn starts to get a grip on 2011, this picture makes me nostalgic for my childhood in Scotland…
Sleepy Like Minds
I've just noticed that I appear in one of the rotating pics on the Like Minds homepage. That's me, in the window, apparently resting on my hands.
I'm not sure if I look like I'm:
- Asleep
- In despair
- In a prayer meeting
- Hiding from the camera

Luckily this problem has been solved in the 21st century.
I make my own damn coffee. ;-)
Evening light over the Adur
I spent last Friday at dConstruct, a conference held just down the coast in Brifghton. As I walked home from Shoreham station, the mist was just beginning to descend over the Adur, as the evening light turned orange. The quality of light that resulted was just breathtaking. Luckily, I had my DSLR with me, from my conference liveblogging, and I grabbed a few images before the light passed:
Such a lovely part of the world to come home to.
Everything in the gardens is…

Visited Arundel Castle yesterday, but photography and video is strictly banned within the castle itself. So, I contented myself with some video of the rather stunning gardens…
Red Arrows over Bristol
I shot this on my iPhone a couple of weeks ago, but help off posting it because of the tragedy of last weekend. But the more I thought about it, the more I realised that these guys work very hard to show their skill, and to entertain. And that Sunday they did both, both for the people at the Balloon Fiesta, and for people all over southern Bristol who could see their display. And death shouldn't prevent us celebrating the skills of life.
