Thanks Pinno. It's taken from Waterloo Bridge, looking east (so the sunset is behind me).

If you like that view, find an excuse to catch a southbound train from Blackfriars. The platform has stunning views of the Thames framed by the City and the Shard, with Tower Bridge in the background.

I travel into Blackfriars quite often. I concur wholeheartedly!

I think I have been on that new line. Is that the one that'll get you to the Cutty Sark?

One winters morning a few years ago,from near Scarborough looking towards to Filey Brigg

This is at Robin Hoods Bay,the boat was called Sarb J she ran aground in the early/mid 90's,she has been pretty much stripped of scrap metal of any worth


Surf check one winters morning,it was as cold as it looked,this is Cayton Bay near Scarborough,sits at the end of the vale of York/Pickering low lying ground always colder than elsewhere,effect of the cold air hitting the warmer water

Me having fun in Morocco

I'm afraid I haven't got the patience these days to go back to film and my OM-1, bought new in 1981, I think. All mechanical - apart from the light meter (which needed a batttery), and even that had a machanical pointer you could see through the viewfinder.

We went to "Art Night London" (http://www.artnight.london/) on Saturday. Looked at a few exhibits (one where I narrowly missed out having a piece selected), had pizza and a couple of drinks...

One exhibit was in the Lumen Crypt Gallery at St John on Bethnal Green. On the way out, we spotted this guy. He reluctantly posed for a close up and then scowled at a group of art-loving ladies...

Magic. It's been a long term dream of mine to do the Marmotte. How was it?

Ben6899

Ah mate, they're great.

The trip was great, really lucky with the weather. Had time to do the climb up to La Bararde, the Lacets, Col du Mollard and the Croix de Fer as well as up to AdH via La Serenne.

Missed a gold time in the Marmotte by 20 minutes (again) - it never gets easier. I'm determined to get there though!

Cheers Ben!

What was your finishing time?

narbs

9 hours dead. 30 seconds quicker than 4 years ago

pinno

12.1 mph ave. That's the sort of time I would hope to do it in.

Sounds about right! Taken on the road between Huez village and Villard Reculas, after clambering over a barrier and sliding down the mountain a bit

A few from a surf trip to Brittany and Normandy a few years ago
Point du Raz the tidal flow was unreal


Memorial the the merchant seamen of WW2 at Point du Pen Hir


I was never quite sure if it was right to take photo's here at the Omaha Beach Memorial and graveyard,the place certainly sets you back when you realize these are just a small number of brave men that gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms
