Amazing - we actually had some sun and blue skies today! Of course, the clouds were always lurking, and covered the sun a few times... but it was so gorgeous outside!
This building is on a street corner where a telephone pole is, so it has a half-circle cut out of the overhang.
2000 yrs old, and still one of the most virtuosic examples of worked stone in existence. This is a straightup tourist shot using existing light in the Vatican Museum.
Instead of a ribbon cutting, Knox College holds a ceremonial "unplugging" to dedicate the first solar power project on campus at Wilson House.

It's been a long time since I've laughed this much.
I laughed, and laughed and laughed.
As usual, Mr. Izzard was brilliant. He led us on a wonderful, rambling journey covering the history of the world (via Wikipedia) and raptors in trilby hats, the kamikazi sheep of Sparta, and coughing giraffes. My favorite bit was when he described tapestry weavers as the war correspondents of their day ("We're going to need more red thread!").
I need more Eddie Izzard in my life.
Long time no photos, eh?
It's continued to be hectic at work and with Christmas right around the corner it seems like I have no time left for the Internets. I have been doggedly keeping up with my SPs though and I'll upload all of them in the next few days.

One shot that I made during a trip to Munich. The stuctures of this old church are stunning, but it is hard to capture the atmosphere when you look straight up. A trial.
Day 5 of the Wabe Tour 2008 saw slithy-toves, Trapac and I cross the Severn to visit the lovely duckiemonster in Cardiff, for a wonderful day in Torchwood's lair, replete with architectural delights, lots of sunshine, pizza, pink wine, ice cream... and overflowing with fab photo opportunities.
Thank you, duckie, for being such a great host :-)

This is inside the HSBC bank direct opposite of the Cathedrale in Sheffield. I know, I wasn't standing in the middle but there were customers queueing who wanted to go to the cashier...
Passing by the Church "Notre-Dame de Pitie et Sainte Elisabeth" at the Rue du Temple (3d arr.) we couldn't resist entering and checking out this 17th century building. Not very special although I liked some of the murals and of course a ceiling like this one...
