Another reason Gravelly Point is a nice park. There are great views, and wide expanses of open space which are often used for soccer, rubgy, or football on the weekends.
Note: this is a year-old shot uploaded because I've decided to visit and photograph the places that are part of the George Washington Memorial Parkway, so I pulled this out of my archives.

Click Image To Visit SiteStrength-On Demand was created for one reason… to help passionate strength and conditioning coaches, performance specialist, and sport coaches get real proven strength and conditioning continuing education on their schedule.
Imagine if you could attend a conference, clinic or seminar and could learn from the best presenters, coaches and practitioners when you wanted. Now image that you can have instant access to these presentations when you want and on the device you want. Take advantage of these lessons on road trips, during your next cardio session, staff development meeting, or even from the comfort of your own living room.
“In our profession, it is extremely important to constantly learn. Strength-On Demand allows me to learn, pick up new ideas, and it saves me time, which is my most precious resource. There are some great strength coaches out there and this is a great way to learn from them with quick access”
Each week Strength-OnDemand™ automatically delivers a content rich video for you to learn from and assist in your professional development. The result… more time spent learning and less time spent traveling to another event that makes claims to be the “best ever” and turns out to be unproductive time away from your team, clients, and family.
“Strength-OnDemand is a tremendous resource and a very effective way to learn from outstanding strength coaches. It’s great to be able to pick up your phone and watch excellent coaches present at your own pace.”
This all-access network was the brainchild of Ron McKeefery and Rob Taylor. Two strength and conditioning coaches that have worked at the NCAA, NFL, and MLB level, directed strength and conditioning departments, and ran successful strength and conditioning clinics. We know the time demands, budget challenges, and options that strength coaches face. Our vision was to provide strength and conditioning coaches with a economical platform to learn from other professionals on their own schedule.
No more dishing out thousands of dollars in conference fees, travel, room and board expenses to learn from the experts in the field. Or getting caught up in trying to decide where those precious continuing education dollars are going to be best spent. Strength-On Demand has simplified the process for you.
“Strength-On Demand is like a dream come true for the strength coach who wants to be the best. Where else do you get to listen to and watch strength coaches from all over the country anytime you want? This membership is worth every penny.”
“Strength-OnDemand is one of a kind. Coach McKeefery has done it again with an amazing website to better the profession we all love. The opportunity to learn from so many phenomnial coaches on a daily basis is rare, and this website makes it possible. I highly recommend this site to anyone who strives to be a continuous learner.”
“I credit so much of my perspective and knowledge to the talks I’ve been fortunate enough to witness. With Strength-OnDemand… Read more…

For whatever reason, something I can't figure out, twenty-eight feels old somehow. But in a way that's less like it's too late to do stuff and more like I'm twenty-eight years old and have nothing to show for it.
I'm not really big on birthdays, so I didn't do much today. Lazed around the house a bit, took the laundry in, then dressed up a bit to meet The Boy for a night of Shakespeare. (I did my makeup on the bus because I couldn't be bothered before.) Tomorrow I'm going to my parents' for dinner.
Thanks for stopping by and viewing this photo. The reason for posting this photo on Flickr is to learn so if you have constructive feedback regarding what I could do better and / or what should I try, drop me a note I would love to hear your input.

Making my way home after the scans on my leg at the hospital. I was just about home and the rain come down.
November 30, 2015 Christchurch New Zealand.
January 26, 2014 - Rhyme & Reason Extra Pale Ale from Collective Arts Brewing Limited in Burlington, Ontario. Saw this at the LCBO and then looked it up. I'm not sure whether this brewery is for the artists or for the beer.
It poured out a slightly hazy amber with a finger or so of frothy white head which quickly dissipated without much lacing. The aroma was of citrus, pine and hops. The taste was initially sweet and malty with some caramel overtones, but then some hop bitterness poked through. The citrus and pine flavours ensured that the sweetness was fleeting.
A decent session beer. The ninety labels of the original release will not make me want to purchase ninety of these bottles however. I was going to print the commercial description, but I see that it is on the label.
The Sunday Telegraph once called 20something chef Jimmy Garcia as 'London's the popup kingâ and for one reason or another, the name seems to have stuck. Jimmy is (amongst other things) the man behind The Lodge, which currently lives in Clapham North; on top of the Clapham North pub - right next to Clapham North tube station, former site of Jimmyâs âSecret Gardenâ popup. The Lodge is back for another few months after an amazing run in Balham last year. Jimmyâs a busy guy - now the author of a book called âSocial Eatsâ, he also arranges various private dining experiences all over the shop (and by âshop' I mean âa large geographic areaâ ). Everything from warehouses in East London to chateaus in France.
But weâre digressing. Letâs get back to Clapham. Whatâs The Lodge about then? The approach appears to be casual âAlpineâ dining, leaning heavily on the Swiss and Modern European styles - with a few French influences. Swiss food isnât a thing you see all that much of - so many may be unfamiliar of it (asides from Swiss cheese, I suppose?). I guess Iâd sum up what theyâre doing here as âheartyââ¦perhaps âwarmingâ (at the risk of sounding a little maudlin). An entire menu of warm/hot cocktails, steaming bowls of fondue (courtesy of Nealâs Yard Dairy) and a cozy wooden interior very much modelled on a ski chalet you might find two thirds of the way up a mountain somewhere in Graubünden. There are also a few things on the menu you might never have seen before; rare (and expensive) Swiss wines, a type of super premium fondue made entirely from Swiss cheeses, and a type of schnapps called Genepi (which appears magically in shot form, usually around the same time as your dessert arrives)
Another thing worth mentioning: The Lodgeâs private dining room (AKA 'The Snug'). This, amongst other things, possesses a private patio overlooking Clapham North (completely covered in fake snow and greenery). I am told that it also has burners for roasting your own marshmallows (omgwtfbbq). The Lodge will soon be transforming into something a little more summery. I donât know what theyâre calling it exactly but I think itâll be something similar to the Nantucket Beach Club that the guys at the Hilton Doubletree have got going on (think âcoast not mountainâ more seafood choices, and an environment designed to amplify those delicious summer vibesâ¦)

For reasons that will become clear, I had a day in London.
A day in London, and with no idea how to fill it.
Those of you from around the world, might well laugh and scoff at such a thought, but the truth is there are two Londons:
1. weekday London.
2. Weened London.
And I could write a lit of things to fill a week of weekdays in London town, but the weekend?
You see, City of London churches close at weekends, as does much of The City itself.
And I was to find, large areas just south of the river also do a good impression of 28 Days Later too.
So, Jools dropped me off at the station with enough time to pop to Buffers for a bacon and sausage sarnie and a brew before buying the ticket and waiting on the platform.
Jools was going to have a quiet weekend at home, while I was going to walk the golden cobbled streets of old London town.
So, on the hour up to London, what did I decide to do?
I caught the Northern Line to Borough, which I wrongly assumed was near to Borough Market. I means its not far, but not obviously close.
And the roads were quiet. Such a contrast to Delhi a few weeks earlier, and even the buses that were seen were electric so made little sound.
Using the Maps app, I walked towards Borough Market, then to Southwark (pronounced Suthark) to pay a brief visit to the cathedral.
It was cool, though the sun was already high enough to feel its warmth. I walked along Clink Street, past the replica of the Golden Hind, and then onto the cathedral, dodging the joggers who weave in and out of the tourists and walkers.
Once I had been round the cathedral, retracing my steps back to Clink Street and along the south bank. I checked Maps, and my destination was 45 minutes away. Over an hour in Ian steps, and it was then I saw I was near Bankside Pier.
I could cheat and take a clipper to the Embankment or Westminster?
Yes, this sounded very good, and I could use the Oyster pas as you go card, and sightsee from the river at the same time.
Turns out I had a 15 minute wait, then squeezed aboard the packed jet boat, and in the central section of the river, it goes quite slow, so I got a seat near a window and watched the south bank roll by, until it was time to get off at Embankment.
I walked up Northumberland Avenue, until I came to the Sherlock Holmes pub. It was five past opening time.
Seemed ruse not to go on, buy a pint of Landlord and sit outside at one of the small tables and watch the world go by. And chat with locals and tourists too.
Around the corner from Trafalgar Square is the Old Shades pub, and where I was to meet an old friend, Graham.
I had even planned ahead enough to book a table!
He arrived and we dined on fish and chips washed down with pints of hoppy IPA.
Three hours passed, and I had to be in Lewisham, and Graham had to head home.
Why did I need to be in Lewisham?
To book into a hotel.
I walked up to Charing Cross, and a train to Lewisham was leaving in 5 minutes. I got on.
The train crossed the river, then weaved its way over Waterloo, Borough to London Bridge, then out through New Cross and onto the Dartford Line.
My station was next, and the hotel just a walk down the slope of the bus station and over the main road.
I checked in, went to my room and put on the football on the radio, then fell asleep for an hour.
One station along the line from Lewisham is Blackheath, and at the Halls Danny Baker was playing, and I had tickets. So, at half six I walked back to the station, caught the next train east, for one stop, then walked up the hill to Blackheath Halls, a fine Victorian building, with a modern theatre implanted.
Men and women of a certain age gathered, drank beer and talked football and music until it was time to go in. I had a seat at the front, at the side not in the middle for once, and at half seven, Danny Boy came on.
He talked at us until just before eleven, so once that over, a walk back down the hill, a three minute wait for a train, meaning I was back in room by quarter past.
A fine day.

"I walked over the fields to Southwark..., and I spent half an hour in Mary Overy's Church, where are fine monuments of great antiquity, I believe, and has been a fine church." Samuel Pepys - 3 July 1663
The Cathedral and Collegiate Church of St Saviour and St Mary Overie stands at the oldest crossing-point of the River Thames at what was for many centuries the only entrance to the City of London situated across the river. A verbal tradition passed on to the Elizabethan historian John Stow suggests that the first Christian establishment was a community of nuns in the 7th century, but the first written reference is the mention of a 'minster' in the Domesday Book of 1086.
In 1106 the church was 're-founded' by two Norman knights as a priory, whose members lived according to the rule of St Augustine of Hippo. The church was dedicated to St Mary and later known as St Mary Overie ('over the river'). The Augustinian Canons created a hospital alongside the church; this was the direct predecessor of today's St Thomas's Hospital opposite the Houses of Parliament and originally named in honour of St Thomas Becket who was martyred at Canterbury in 1170.
During the building’s life as St Mary Overie, the priory was under the control of the Diocese of Winchester which meant that many of the powerful Bishops of Winchester were involved in shaping the building and what happened in it. Several bishops oversaw different phases of building that shaped the cathedral that we see today. It was through Cardinal Beaufort, the rebuilder of the south transept, that the building was witness to its only Royal Wedding when Beaufort’s niece Joan married King James I of Scotland, in 1423.
Perhaps the most famous resident of the priory was the court poet John Gower who lived there at the start of the 15th century. He was a friend of Chaucer who was famous for The Canterbury Tales which begins in Southwark. Gower died at the priory and left a large part of his money to St Mary Overie. His beautiful tomb can be found in the nave of the Cathedral.
At the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1539, the last six canons were pensioned off although they continued to live in buildings north of the church. The church itself became the property of King Henry VIII who rented it to the congregation. It was re-named St Saviour's, though the old name remained in popular usage for many years.
Tired of renting from the King, a group of merchants from the congregation, known as 'the Bargainers', bought the church from King James I in 1611 for £800. It was during this time that the church became the stage for many of those involved in the theatres of Shakespeare’s day. Actors, dramatists and theatre workers such as Edmond Shakespeare (William’s brother), John Fletcher and Philip Henslowe were all buried in the building.
It was during this period, that Lancelot Andrewes became the only Bishop of Winchester to be buried in the Cathedral in 1626. He was involved with overseeing the translation of the King James Bible and his tomb can be found by the High Altar.
The church ministered to its parish throughout the 17th and 18th centuries and various repairs and alterations were made to the building. The state of the building became a real cause for concern in the 1820s. Already in need of further repairs, the whole situation of the building was affected by the proposals for a new London Bridge to be constructed much closer to the church. The Bridge Committee suggested that St Saviour's be demolished and a smaller church be built on another site. After much argument the decision was made to restore the building, and it was largely due to the architect George Gwilt that major parts of today's Cathedral are still standing.
By the mid-19th century, living and working conditions in south London were intolerable. They were depicted by novelist Charles Dickens in distressing detail and by Charles Booth's social researches with grim accuracy. It was proposed that a new diocese should be created and in anticipation for this a new nave was designed by Sir Arthur Blomfield in 1895.
St Saviour's Church became Southwark Cathedral in 1905. The diocese which it serves stretches from Kingston-upon-Thames in the west to Thamesmead in the east and Gatwick Airport in the south. It has a population of two-and-a-half million people, served by over 300 parishes.
In 2000, major extensions designed by Richard Griffiths were added north of the Cathedral; these provide meeting and conference rooms, a library, the Education Centre, the Shop and Refectory.
Now as a Cathedral, Southwark is once again (as in monastic days) a centre for a pattern of daily worship within the English Cathedral music tradition. It continues to serve the people of its parish and the diocese, to be a centre of teaching, of worship, prayer and pilgrimage and offers an open and inclusive welcome to all who come here.

Design brief: To produce 6 posters relating the the subject of knowledge and power
The work I produced for this design brief was some of my favourite work produced recently as I went through a lot of stages of change with it and ended up with something I really like.
I wanted to relate this project somehow to interior design so I liked my chosen subject of research (celebrity influence) with rooms of the house. I wanted to portray the influence celebrities have on people and to highlight the empty reasons people want to be famous. I used a scrap book cut out style to make it look like the pictures had been cut out of a magazine (like an obsessed fan). I used the influence of Barbara Kruger and Dexter Dalwood with this work as well as relating to MTV Cribs.
