This is the first - I'll be back with more - China was an amazing experience. If you're impatient, check out my Flickr site. http://www.flickr.com/photos/18957753@N00/3109447656/in/set-72157611284010824/

A Sunday afternoon spent wandering through the Christmas Market in Nuremberg.

The view over the lake to France

We're looking out over the vast lake Luc high above Montreaux to France. Well, you would see all that if it were not for the cloud!

A Cross on the High Mountains

In Switzerland, many of the high points have a cross erected. This one so stark against the bright blue clear sky.

Above the World - Montreaux, Switzerland

A weekend in Switzerland saw the opportunity of catching the train to the mountains above Montreaux, above Lake Luc. The weather below was gray and dismal, above the clouds it was a treat.

Flight - WIngs at Dusk

2008-10-08T17:15:53Z

I now carry my little camera in my bag more often, and am growing more accustomed to taking the odd snap. This was a flight home from Glasgow and for a change I'd taken the window seat. So this is the wing at dusk as we came in to land at Gatwick.

Sparrowhawk Kill

2008-09-05T22:15:40Z

First thing in the morning I watch the birds in my garden. I've tried to develop a wildlife haven and am pleased with the increasing numbers of creatures that now seem to reside, including an itinerant hedgehog! This morning I was watching an unusual number of doves gather, when a flurry of feathers and this hawk kill happened before my eyes. Even though he was very close I found it hard to identify from my bird book. But I concluded that this is a Sparrowhawk and is one of the most common birds of prey in the UK. Even so, not something you'd expect to see on the lawn in a suburb of London!

An Outdoor Room, Rome

Al Fresco

The crowds came in off the beach and gathered on large picnic sheets laid out and a meal was served as the sun set. Music, quietly in the background seemed to suggest the talk be in low tones, murmers blending with the sound of the sea.

Dusk on Beach near Rome

Dusk - after a day on the beach the crowds draw in...
