Dear December Diary: Lost the use of my camera this weekend. So I will have to cheat by posting older shots from my archive.

Taken on the Sackler Crossing - a modern bridge across the Lake at Kew Gardens.

Seems to be a usual stance of mine.

I fight with myself daily, weekly, so boringly forever, with what I am worth. I am waiting for spring to bring me round the bend, and it will. But next year I will fight again. I am beginning to realize it's just the nature of the beast, and has it's gifts. Not so bad really. A time for inner work, which though difficult, is so necessary.

On another note...

400 ISO, late afternoon with proper manual settings... I get NOISE! Nikon please gift me with a D700. I promise I will use it well. Still I'm glad I got what I got :-)

Remains of Lesnes Abbey in Bexley, Kent. I’ve been meaning to shot here for some time now and finally went there on one morning before sunrise. The advantage of longer nights means more time to do things not staying up till late and getting up too early;)

but im not listening.......
