We had our annual trip to London - a fundraising coach trip in aid of Slaithwaite Band - a weekend stay in the Cumberland at Marble Arch. The weather was variable, lovely but cold on Saturday until later on, the cloud came in and spoiled the sunset - and the view from the Shard. We did our usual non stop walking thing, there wasn't a great deal that made me want to take lots of photographs. We were going to book the Shard - we usually do a show but decided that it would be nice not to have a pre-planned agenda for a change and didn't book it. We arrived there almost by accident and as it was freezing cold and we discovered we could get one of the last 3.30 slots that we would go up it. It is very well organised and we were soon up there. Unfortunately there are three layers of glass - and reflections! on the upper floor were you are effectively outside there is still one layer of very thick glass so photography wasn't easy. We watched the sun go down and the lights switch on, it was still quite impressive but it did get crowded. you will see some faint reflections on a couple of photos.
I took some night shots on the Thames Embankment using my Iphone as a tripod, trying to keep the camera a little bit higher than whatever I used as a support. There was thick cloud cover by now and the orange street lights were reflecting on the low clouds and giving everything an orange glow. The tower Bridge photos are printing very well considering no tripod and only using the Canon G1X.
The Sunday was extremely dull with some drizzle so I didn't take many photos despite walking 11 miles by 1.00 pm. The ones I did take were a bit flat and dull but a couple are OK.
The 2016 MTA Higher Education Conference was held April 15 and 16 at the Westin Waltham Boston Hotel.

Year 13 Geography students took part in an aim higher day with Plymouth University. They experienced a lesson about sea level change and how Geographers are researching it using 'proxies'. Students got to use the microscopes in a practical exercise to discover for themselves the evidence that climate change is happening. Year 13 also met other lecturers and students to find out what university is really all about and where it could take them. Year 12 IT & Photography students also took part and had a look at the Hard Rain exhibition.For more information about the exhibition: plymouth.ac.uk/hardrain

Psalms 23:4 NKJV
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
Cover I designed for Love Me Higher, an R&B/Soul song I produced for Ms. Kirsten, a fabulous Denmark-based singer/songwriter who wrote and perfomed the song.
The song is available on the websites cited below.
- Entirely Written by Ms. Kirsten
- All lead & background vocals: Ms. Kirsten ( myspace.com/kikisuperstar )
- All instrumental production: akiey ( myspace.com/akiey5 )
Based in Copenhagen, Denmark, Ms.Kirsten does captivating Soul, Pop & Jazz, that many musicians, actors, producers and music reviewers following her music have likened her sound, style & subject matter to those of Billie Holiday, Jill Scott, Norah Jones, Adriana Evans among other notables.
Hailing from a musically inclined family where her father plays the cello and her mother plays the piano, Ms. Kirsten, or just 'Kirsten' to some of us:), draws inspiration from legends like Stevie Wonder and Billie Holiday. She often cites them as her greatest inspiration. Kirsten has been crafting her own music compositions from a very young age and has mastered her writing and performing skills through consistent, tireless hard work that earned her a 3-year role as the lead singer of Splonge, a soul/funk band in Denmark.
