bikes and things

Looking forward to getting the book when it’s out.

This is such a beautiful idea it’s untrue. I was reminded of it by a post on Warrens’s site.

Looking Into The Past, a Flickr pool devoted to combining old photos of locations, buildings, and people with the present day scene. The ones with the most impact have the photographer holding an old photo in front of the camera lined up with features in the scene.

It’s incredible how little some places have changed really. There’s a gallery of some of the best images here. Elliot also noted that you can refine the search in the pool to just London. Not many there yet but hopefully people will take more soon.

I bloody love this dog. Total genius!

2 years of work to make this 60 second clip. Awesome!

Another reason I wish I lived in the country, to take advantage of riding closer to your doorstep.

Stunning image of an early morning ride!

I found this amazing image taken by a NASA satellite of the UK over the last few days. Quite a bit of snow there! Original image from the NASA server here.

After spending a few days at home for Christmas I drove back down to see Emma at her Mum’s place just near Cambridge. Whilst we were there we took Snoopy for a decent walk in the countryside. The light was perfect and a real sunny winter day. Still a bit of a chill in the air but really fresh and a perfect opportunity for taking pictures as usual.

Emma found a few places to take pictures of her pretty feet.

And snoopy was as happy as a crazy thing just running around and playing in the remains of the snow.

I spent ages trying to find the right angle for this one.

It was great being in the countryside. If only I could balance a good job, local places to ride and a place to live I’d probably move out in a flash. We could also get a dog too!

I’m so going to get some new Kicks after Christmas!

I’ve not paid an enormous amount of attention to the Architecture journals recently as there hasn’t really been much that’s caught my eye. I’ve also wanted to leave work at work and concentrate on Part 3 and Photography when outside of work. However Neil Mac sent this link round the other day. I must admit that I’m completely awestruck by how beautiful and well detailed it is. Maybe I’ll start being a bit more interested if I see more things like this.

I love this!
