Aufnahme von Baden, vom Schartenfels aus gesehen. In der Mitte, oberhalb der Limmat, die reformierte Kirche, dahinter der Bahnhof. Dahinter schliesst sich das Fabrikareal der BBC auf dem Haselfeld an. Der Grad der Überbauung ist noch sehr überschaubar.
Happy to see my orangutan feature from Sarawak in BBC Wildlife magazine.
I often get asked for advice on how to make a living as a freelance travel photographer. The best I can say is....

Or, to use it's Edinburgh title, BBC Glasgow! Way back, before BBC Scotland moved to Queen Margaret Drive, Greenside in Edinburgh had been mooted as a possible location... Instead that remained a gapsite for forty years until Allan Murray built his critically acclaimed masterpiece, the Omni centre. Aren't we lucky?!
Whilst designed by David Chipperfield Architects, Pacific Quay (docks are never called 'dock' these days) Studios was completed by Keppie Design in a slightly controversial move which some say was an example of the BBC bottling-out of their much vaunted commitment to top-notch architecture. Suffice to say though, the quality of detail is still a delight in this somewhat deceptive building...
Pacific Quay is a completely modern name: the partially-filled dock that formerly occupied the site was known as Prince's Dock. It was the site of the 1988 Garden Festival: the subsequent permanent regeneration took almost twenty years to materialise.
The Scottish independence referendum takes place on 18 September 2014.
Voters will answer the Yes/No question: "Should Scotland be an independent country"
Gaza BBC appeal protest outside Broadcasting House (discarded shoes)
STOP THE BBC BLOCKING GAZA AID APPEAL
There is now massive pressure on the BBC to reverse its
decision to block an aid for Gaza appeal, with government
ministers joining the campaign to make the BBC reverse its
decision.
Tony Benn, many MPs and celebrities and thousands of
protestors will deliver a letter (see below) to the BBC today
demanding that the BBC reverse what government Health Minister
Ben Bradshaw calls its "inexplicable decision" to refuse a
broadcast for an emergency appeal to raise desperately needed
aid for Gaza. Bradshaw says the reasons the BBC gave are
"completely feeble".
(See: news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7848614.stm)
Tony Benn, President of Stop the War, says, "To deny the help
that the aid agencies and the UN need at this moment in time
is incomprehensible. I appeal to the chairman of the BBC Trust
to intervene to reverse this decision to save the lives of
those who are now in acute danger of dying through a lack of
food, fuel, water and medical supplies."

Here is a screenshot of the shortlived BBC HelloWorld website using one of my pictures on its home page. The same image was also used on the about page and a cropped version on the events page. A bit naughty as the image is licenced under a Creative Commons "Attribution, Noncommercial, No Derivative Works" licence and I wasn't credited or otherwise asked for permission. It is for a good cause that I approve of though so I will forgive them this time.
After some confusion that the site may have been a hoax a Senior Research Engineer at BBC R&D confirmed that it was genuine but a "Premature (ie oops) preview of some ideas being worked through".
On 29 June, a second protest taking place at BBC Scotland headquarters in Glasgow, where the pro-Union Better Together campaign were given access to film an advertisement, looks set to attract a substantial number of those who remain dissatisfied with BBC coverage of the Scottish independence referendum. There’s a simmering anger that the licence fee designed by founder John Reith to escape corporate influence is instead funding a media institution which has become the mouthpiece of the establishment.
1967 wurde die Maschinenfabrik Oerlikon MFO, wo sich Charles Brown und Walter Boveri einst kennengelernt hatten, von der BBC übernommen. BBC betrieb das Werk weiter und stellte dort zum Beispiel bis 1973 Transformatoren her.
In April 1964, the existing BBC Television Service was to be re-branded to BBC One and a new channel launched, BBC Two. Launch night was scheduled for 20 April.
This image is of a press pack cover used for pre-launch publicity, featuring specially commissioned cartoon character mascots Hullabaloo (right) and Custard (left). The characters were drawn by artist Desmond Marwood.
A major power outage across West London on launch night meant that the new channel couldn't transmit from BBC Television Centre as originally planned.
Instead, newsreader Gerald Priestland read news bulletins from Studio A in Alexandra Palace.
