This past week has been the international science festival in Edinburgh. It involves lots of exhibits and events all over the city. Two years ago the major theme was eating insects (as an alternative meat

The title sounds like the name of a classified add in the papers. "looking for tall blonde, who enjoys long walks on the beach" -regretful in paris ... or the name someone uses when writing into

Tom Selleck is the manliest man who ever manned the earth.. well.. his Moustache is. I have long maintained that like the Unicorn, Tom Selleck's moustache is a creation of divine, magical beauty. And like

This is such a stereotypical image of Paris. Sitting along the banks of the Seine.. enjoying the outdoor air. Reading a paper, perhaps having a drink. I envy the fact that you can do that in the middle

Ok so the building doesn't have a skirt, but to take these shots you stand so close and look straight up that you almost feel dirty about it. If this building were a lady, i'd be getting interviewed by

I was in the city a while back, no not london, the city of london.. which is a city in london city.. confused yet? Good .. because its a running theme in british geopolitics. Not the confusion but the

Carrying on from yesterday when I shot that bridge, I also took the time to turn 45 degrees to my right (it really wasn't much effort) to get this particular view thrown in my face. This is the forth road

This is the new Queensferry crossing just outside Edinburgh. It connects Edinburgh to Fife to the north. I haven't been out much lately to take photos (thanks day job!) so I made a special effort last

Last year on my GF's birthday she wanted to go 'to the races'. I'm not entirely sure why but its something her family goes to do now and then. So we went with them. I have only one regret from that day.

I don't know about you but I'm not a big gambler and I have never been to a horse race. This particular horse and rider did not win, i think he came in 4th or something. It's irrelevant since the horse

Unknown Pleasures, probably the greatest name for a store ever. Its a record store and its named after a Joy Division album by the same name. But regardless of the lack of originality, its still badass.

I love this sign, its near where I work and its rather appropriate given its on the side of a bar called 'pilgrim' and on a street filled with hostels.. and bars. Its a quote from a poem by Tolkien. I'm

Welcome! To the Cloud Forest.. which keeps reminding me of Star Wars.. although that was a cloud city.. not a cloud forest. I’m sure you’ve seen pictures of this place before.. I’d be amazed if you haven’t.

This weekend is going to be a very busy weekend.. thursdays and fridays are always very busy and leave me next to no time to think of .. let alone write up a post, which is why so often I only post a single

The Glenfinnan viaduct, also known to many as the Harry Potter Viaduct. I was there a few summers ago to ride the train from Fort William to Mallaig and back. Its not every day you ride a steam train ..

I wish they let you use tripods up here but they don't, and truthfully, it wouldn't have worked anyway. This walkway is suspended by the many cables you can see in the shot. So the thing wobbled quite

The internationally recognisable harp logo and name of the most famous Irish beer in the world. Guinness. I don't particularly like Guinness. It tastes like crap to me.. but strangely, when you go to Dublin,

The deceptively sturdy looking OCBC skyway in Singapore, that looks like its secured very firmly to the super trees but in reality is mostly suspended by cables from above and is there for rather wobbly

Haha! I knew I couldn't fool you guys! Ok the preview picture gives it away immediately, but a nicely controversial title to get me through monday had to be done! Anyway, this is the lovely and cuddly

Photographing the moon can be a tricky thing. There are many things that will stand in your way of getting a nice clear shot of the moon. The best method of course is to get in your spaceship and leave
