se mi stendessi qui, se solo mi stendessi qui
ti stenderesti con me e dimenticheresti il mondo?
If I lay here If I just lay here
Would you lie with me And just forget the world?
Nascosto nell'ombra del ponte di Hammersmith, sul lungufiume di Hammersmith c'è il Blue Anchor pub, un pub tradizionale che offre un tranquillo rifugio dal caos di Londra. Molte scene del film Sliding Doors sono state girate in questo luogo.

Most of the local Post Offices have either gone or - as in this case - moved from a Post Office locally to a shop which has a counter at the back. I know they do a good job but it isn't the same.

Please enjoy a long exposure photograph featuring some exciting light trails produced by the traffic that flowed past me that evening.
My fascination with light trails was what originally catapulted me into night-time photography several years ago, on a very cold night in Gastown in Vancouver. I’ll never forget that moment as I ultimately think it’s what led to everything I’ve done in photography and the people I have met since, including many of you. If some of you are familiar with the Gwyneth Paltrow movie, “Sliding Doors”, I think my discovery of light trails was my “Do I get on the train or off the train?” moment in photography.
I think I’m still on the train, traveling to as many destinations as possible, always waiting for the next depot.
I don’t create such photographs nearly as often anymore, so this image is essentially a tribute (and personal reminder) to why I love and continue to experiment with photography.

Time for a well-earned break - the vacation my boss had approved months ago but suddenly demanded 3 weeks ahead of time (and I quote), "Well you just have to cancel it! Anyway, it's not like you're going to England or anything." Because work is apparently more important. Besides, I don't have kids, so who is there to disappoint anyway, right?
We arrived today and already I don't want to leave. Maybe we can get our petsitter to Fedex over the cats :-)
Regno Unito, Londra, Battersea, Primavera 2014
L'Albert Bridge è un ponte stradale sul fiume Tamigi che collega Chelsea a Battersea e fu completato nel 1873. In origine era un ponte a pedaggio, ma perché commercialmente senza successo, sei anni dopo la sua apertura fu dichiarato pubblico. I caselli sono rimasti sul posto e sono gli unici esempi ancora esistenti in città. Soprannominato "La signora tremolante" a causa della sua tendenza a vibrare quando un gran numero di persone vi camminavano, il ponte ha ancora cartelli al suo ingresso che chiedono alle truppe di rompere passo mentre attraversano il ponte. Nel 1992, è stato dipinto con colori insoliti al fine di renderlo più visibilile, ed evitare di essere danneggiato dalle imbarcazioni. Di notte è illuminato da 4.000 lampadine, che lo rendono uno dei monumenti più suggestivi della West London. Il suo attuale aspetto caratteristico e suggestivo ha portato al suo uso come ambientazione per numerosi film ambientati nella zona di Chelsea come Sliding Doors.
The Albert Bridge is a road bridge over the River Thames connecting Chelsea to Battersea and it was completed in 1873. Originally it was a toll bridge but because commercially unsuccessful, six years after its opening it was taken into public ownership. The tollbooths remained in place and are the only surviving examples in London. Nicknamed "The Trembling Lady" because of its tendency to vibrate when large numbers of people walked over it, the bridge has signs at its entrances that warned troops to break step whilst crossing the bridge. In 1992, the Albert Bridge was rewired and painted in an unusual colour scheme designed to make it more conspicuous in poor visibility, and avoid being damaged by ships. At night it is illuminated by 4,000 bulbs, making it one of West London's most striking landmarks. Its distinctive and striking current appearance has led to its use as a backdrop for numerous films set in the Chelsea area like Sliding Doors.

Hammersmith Bridge is a suspension bridge in west London. It allows road traffic and pedestrians to cross to Barnes, in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, on the south side of the river.
The construction of the actual bridge ended in 1887 and it is 210 m long and 13 m wide and cost £82,117 to build. This bridge is famous because it appeared in some scenes from the movie Sliding Doors filmed next to the bridge and in the Blue Anchor pub nearby.

Hello folks, how are you? I'm back from Maui--with no tan! I admit that I'm not much of a beach or sun person but we had a wonderful time.
Traveling overseas with children is difficult. Honestly, when it came to my photography I was pretty tired and uninspired during much of the trip, so I'm not entirely happy with this set of photos.
This was taken on our second night. While my husband took the kids out to the beach and pool, I sat on the lanai (in my nightgown!) trying to get a sunset shot--with a twist--literally! Although I did take the typical sunset shots, I figured I'd turn my tripod around and shoot my reflection in the sliding door instead.

1954 Kaiser Darrin KF161 Satin Yellow Roadster 161ci/90hp
The stunning 1954 Kaiser-Darrin DKF-161 sports car is one of those rare autos that doesn’t look like anything else, with its long, sleek hood, a small and exquisite “pursed-lips” grille, sliding doors and three-position folding top. The beautifully proportioned two-seater also had tapering rear fenders and large teardrop taillights that smoothly blended with its lines. The grille looked like it “wanted to give you a kiss,” one car designer quipped. Landau irons let the folding soft top be locked in an intermediate position, leaving the rear section erect for open-air driving without rear drafts.
Besides the “Darrin dip,” the Kaiser-Darrin had long, forward-jutting front fenders to house the Darrin-patented sliding doors he felt were more sensible than regular swing-out doors. (Chrysler minivans would use sliding doors, decades later.) The fiberglass body came from Glasspar, a pioneer in the use of fiberglass for specialized cars.
The Kaiser-Darrin had bucket seats, full sports-car instrumentation and a floor shifter, as did popular foreign sports cars. At $3,668, the car cost a few bucks more than its chief rival, the Corvette, but nearly as much as an entry level Cadillac Series 62 sedan. The price discouraged some potential buyers.
