Well, today celebrated the first time Linda has driven into B'ham city centre! Despite being cut up by "White Van Man" (if you live in England, you will know what I mean by that), it was a smooth journey. We parked in Digbeth near to the Custard Factory and spotted this building. Well, it oozes a bit of goth but stood out amongst all the other derelict buildings.



Colourful but out of place.

One final shot from the Kenilworth set having milked it to within an inch of its life:



I think it really captures Linda's cheeky smile.

Happy Friday everyone!

I chose this because it was one of my favourite shots from last year, taken in Stratford.



I like the sharpness in the image and I think this image really benefits from the quadtone effect.

Well, the countdown to NYC (for me at least) has begun in earnest. So, in preparation for my visits to the South Street Sea Port to broadcast my daily message....errr, wrong blog I think. Must stop chanelling I am Legend.

So yeah, this was taken at the South St Seaport and her dog was such a cutie and she bashed out some wonderful Gershwin covers.



I so regret not buying this lady's CD.

So, just a few weeks to go until I can chill out around the south of Manhattan. Anyone for a Margarita?

Well, 128 photos later and not one of me. I'm not comfortable with my looks and this distorts my face even more than the norm as the mirrors are slightly concaved.



Taken with my old 350D about 2 years ago on a windy day, my mouth usually doesn't look that wonky.

Another from the Kenilworth visit set at the weekend.



It's amazing how these buildings (or at least the remains of them) are still standing and are visited by people to gain a sense of history.

Feeling under the weather today so back to bed for me now.

Another from the Kenilworth Castle set.



I just like the blue sky, sunlight and fluffy marshmallow clouds on this shot. It was a really nice Spring day yesterday, cool breeze and warm sun.
