A law written in the time before common sense stated;
"No one shall drive a vehicle across tower bridge, carting sheep, that has a beard"
This apparently is still engraved in the statute books.....! TRUE!!!
When the sun goes down, the city energises. Docklands at dusk.
The Greenwich Tunnel stairwell leading under the River Thames to the north side. Oh, and a telephone box!
An evening ale in the balmy summer evening....ahhhhh!
The 'new city', Docklands. Full of upmarket residential and commercial space, it's a growing public interpretation of what a modern London should be and feel like.
Not far from the Millenium Dome,the push eastward of the 'new city' emerges on a daily basis.
Inspired by a good friend (Jonathan), I thought I'd do a wee series of images. From the flood gates in Woolwich (above) to the Houses of Parliment at Westminter. I'm following the River Thames in the late evening, during summer.
An ant view of Piccadilly looking towards the aformentioned Circus in the very busy West End!
Following the London theme, a fast train drawing ever closer to the city as it threads it's way through the Eastern reaches of suburbia.
Every 90 seconds, a massive and intensly noisy metalic structure cruises 100 feet above on route for Heathrow airport. Bringing yet more underburdened antipodean wanderers to the European gateway. Enjoy!!!
On the flip side, Winter holds something of a surprise in it's mighty grip. The wonderful and some what mesmerising aura of falling snow captivates like no other. This goes out to all you souls in the Northern Hemisphere enjoying the fruits of the cooler of seasons.
Now for a change of scene, the London Eye. And apparently, this smoggy view is as good as it gets! Gotta love the city life huh?!
Well, it's been a hell of a week, and with that, the lack of inspiration has continued to rear it's ugly (some might say!) head. Nothing more than a well chilled Monteith's Summer Ale and a nostaligic look back at London and all her glory, will fill the void left by hard 'yakka'. Mornington Cresent, Northern Line, The Tube.
The grand Eiffel Tower by night. And there ends the short but most enjoyable (yes?!) tour of Paris. Maybe more in the future....
The veritable expanse of Champs Elysees.
The swirling, almost sick inducing, spinning teacups.
Journey towards Euro Disney on the metro. The suspense of thrills is almost to much to bear!!
Due to a little laziness, a lack of inspiration and generaly being to busy to care, I've needed to resort to past photographs for pixelated excitment! This the Paris metro.
Well it's been another busy day at the coalface. This image is from Jordan, on a bus journey from Amman through to Petra. Quite a surreal and eye opening experience.
A small teaser of what's in store for the first dip of the Summer season. Bring it on!
A small town in the north-east region of Greece, Alexandropolis is the gateway for travellers entering Turkey from the west.
BIG UPS (I mean HUGE) to the Kiwi's beating Australia in the tri nations rugby league clash 28 - 0. A feat that will be remebered for a long time. Also, the mighty All Blacks rounding off the Grand Slam tour with a victory over Scotland 28 - 10. Now all we need is the Black Caps to do well in the cricket.....!!! Go you good things.
The morning after (all be it very early). A great night had by all, thanks to everyone for the superb atmosphere. Till next time.....
A little bit of bbq finger food, then out with the big tunes to get all and sundry with their hands in the air like they just don't care.
The day before the big one, getting all necessary provisions ready and chilled!
Another image of the sky tower. It is truly in there somewhere!
A little bellated guy fauks action...
It was about this time 3 years ago, I was standing atop San Marco bell tower, looking across the overwhelming view of Venice in all her glory. A magical place.
It's raining AGAIN!!!!!!
After watching the 'All Blacks' beat England 23 - 19 in an early morning test match, I've been reduced to lying in the sun to recharge my weary bones.
A perfect day for the youngsters to fang it out on the harbour in the Optimist class.
It seems the weather is slowly playing it's part in the Summer season.....just!
In preperation of the upcoming flat warming, the party utensils are being implemented and tested. The choice of the Kingsland generation.
This is one of the weirdest experiences I've come across. A driverless, completly automated train speeding through the Singapore terrafirma. Hope Windows doesn't crash!
Study days are over for another year. Admitedly, I've only had 9 in the last 9 weeks, but alas their over. Hellalujah and sniff!!

I'm currently fascinated with the changing moods of the sky tower and the departing sun, and how wickedly it changes within a few minutes....
Well this is it the 100th instalment of 'Photoog'. Time for a celebration. Actually, I'll give it a miss for now as it's been a hard weekend on the plonk. Cheers!
Following the nature theme, a bumbble bee grabbing an early morning snack.
A tui having a mid afternoon bath.
Is it beer o'clock yet, and why don't beards shave themselves???!!!
Isn't it great how much better a day feels when it's sunny and warm. Everybody glows whilst having an effervescent smile plastered all over their face.
I saw a great quote today:
"There's really no such thing as enemies, they're just some of your best friends who want to kill you"
A room with a view. Looking out at this constantly means only one thing. Time to get ZedFM back off the ground and into the air. Classic Hits here I come!!
I dunno what's going on at the mo, but as soon as Guy Fauks comes around it decides to piss down! Maybe that's a good thing, since there was a record 500 phone calls to the 111 service!!!
Well, after the transition of moving and settling in, here we are. The move has been fantastic, finally meeting the final flatmate, who moved in today, the environs are lokking very positive. Have tried a couple of the cafes down the road and made a couple of pitstops to the old faithful, The Kingslander. Lubbly jubbly!!!!
A rather memorable sunset at the northern tip of New Zealand, Spirits Bay.
Quite a surreal view from the steple top of the Duoma in Milan, Italy.
The massive and gorgeous expanse that is Sydney town.
Looking across the English Channel from the south east coast of England, atop the cliffs of the 'Seven Sisters'.
