These are photos taken on my trip to Europe and the UK with a girl friend in October to November 2012. My camera I had then wasn't good with low light so some of these shots are not great but I have put them as my memories of the trip.
We arrived in late morning in Bath by train from London. Spent one night here and most of the next day.
Bath Abbey is a parish church of the Church of England and former Benedictine monastery in Bath, Somerset, England. Founded in the 7th century, it was reorganised in the 10th century and rebuilt in the 12th and 16th centuries; major restoration work was carried out by Sir George Gilbert Scott in the 1860s. It is one of the largest examples of Perpendicular Gothic architecture in the West Country. The medieval abbey church served as a sometime cathedral of a bishop. After long contention between churchmen in Bath and Wells the seat of the Diocese of Bath and Wells was later consolidated at Wells Cathedral. The Benedictine community was dissolved in 1539 during the Dissolution of the Monasteries.

[Having returned home and as we inch into late Fall and Winter with no plans for extended photo trips until next year, I resume uploading the rest of my selected photos from 2020 (10 per day, usually in the morning CET), as well as a selection of my current, 2021 photos (usually 3 or 4 per day, in the evening CET).]
The Gers is a small part of the region of Aquitaine, which covers most of southwestern France. On July 2020, we rented a house for three weeks in the Gers area, and commencing today, I will upload a selection of the photographs I took while we were there. I hope you will enjoy them!
As usual, I will caption more specifically in bold type below whenever necessary.
Fans of Mediæval architecture and art are in for a good time when in Gascony, as many villages have a strong house, fortified farm, manor or castle of varying size and condition.
This one is the ruined castle of Sainte-Mère, built in the late 1200s.
Peace Boat's first voyage was organized in 1983 by a group of Japanese university students as a creative response to government censorship regarding Japan's past military aggression in the Asia-Pacific. They chartered a ship to visit neighbouring countries with the aim of learning first-hand about the war from those who experienced it and initiating people-to-people exchange.
Peace Boat's 99th Global Voyage for Peace departed from Yokohama, Japan on September 1st 2018 and will return on December 17th 2018 after visiting as many as 24 ports in 23 countries.

…For dinner & cocktails! This was the first time I'd visited socially with my friend MEK while dressed! We had a great evening chatting about life, the universe & everything over vodka gimlets & a nice chicken dinner!
My ensemble for the evening consists of a black & white peasant top and black skinny jeans, both from venus.com, my black stretch belt with white buckle from newportnews.com, Hanes Alive Barely There pantyhose from onehanesplace.com and my black black basket weave peep toe wedge sandals from Rockport. I think this was a perfect outfit for a social visit with a friend!

Just in from visiting my sister, she is looking after a cat for a few days while the owner is in hospital but sadly she seems really freaked out and was hiding hissing beind the sofa (the cat, that is, not my sister!). Hopefully she will chill out soon but it all seems a bit much and me and my mum turning up after only an hour in her new temporary home might have been the final straw for her.
Something a little different from my usual fare... shot this while waiting for the bus this afternoon.

Visiting friends in Peterhead, I popped down by the harbour at Boddam on my way home to Aberdeen Scotland.
Very quiet today with only one fisherman on site painting his boat the Isla Jay.
The village of Boddam lies just to the south of Peterhead, and separated from it by Sandford Bay and Peterhead Power Station. Opinions differ as to whether Buchan Ness, a headland reached by a bridge from the village, is in fact the most easterly point in mainland Scotland: it depends on whether you count Keith Inch just over two miles to the north. Once an island, this now forms part of Peterhead harbour and projects a little further east than Buchan Ness.
Being so close to Peterhead, it is inevitable that Boddam tends to be overshadowed by it. This wasn't always so: a map produced in the 1600s showed Boddam to be larger than its northern neighbour. Just to the south stood Boddam Castle, built by the Keiths of Ludquharn in the 1500s. The most notable early member of the family to be born at Boddam Castle was Sir William Keith (1669-1749), who went on to become Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania and Delaware.
Today only fragmentary ruins remain of Boddam Castle. The headland location chosen by the Keiths for their castle was guarded by the start of the cliffs that run for five miles south west from here to Slains Castle and Cruden Bay. About half way along this stretch of cliffs is the Bullers of Buchan, a collapsed sea cave forming an almost circular pot and an arch.
Boddam's early development was largely due to the shelter afforded by Buchan Ness, which made it an attractive base for fishing boats. This led to a short-lived fishing station being established here by the Dutch in the years around 1700. But the development of modern Boddam dates back to a decision in the 1820s by the Northern Lighthouse Board to build a lighthouse on Buchan Ness. This was completed in 1827 by Robert Stevenson. The lighthouse tower is 35m high, and there are 166 steps leading to the top. The distinctive red band was added in 1910. Buchan Ness Lighthouse was automated in 1988, and the foghorn, known locally as the Boddam Coo fell silent in 2000.
The arrival of the lighthouse was followed in 1831 by the construction of a harbour. In the 1840s the harbour was greatly expanded by George Hamilton-Gordon, the 4th Earl of Aberdeen. Further harbour improvements were made in the 1870s to provide for ships exporting the red Peterhead granite being quarried in ever larger quantities from Stirling Hill, a mile to the south east. These included the construction of a tramway linking the quarries with the harbour. The quarries also helped attract the railway to Boddam: a branch line from Ellon arrived in 1897.
The early decades of the 1900s saw much of Boddam's fishing fleet attracted away by the better harbour facilities available at Peterhead. The railway closed to passengers in 1932, and to freight in 1945. After the Second World War, Boddam became home to RAF Buchan, an important Cold War radar station tracking Russian aircraft over the North Atlantic. Until 2005 this was also home to one of the UK's two "Control and Reporting Centres", which oversaw the UK's air defences. This role has since passed to RAF Boulmer in Northumberland, and the RAF Buchan "domestic site" in Boddam is due to be redeveloped.
Like many other communities across Aberdeenshire, Boddam has benefitted considerably from the oil boom since the 1970s. Boddam harbour has at times served as an oil support base, and in 1976 rebuilding took place to allow the harbour to be used to support the new oil-fired Peterhead Power Station, which continues to dominate views north west from the village. In the early 1990s the power station was converted to be able to use gas as well as oil. Boddam harbour remains home to a number of small fishing boats, and to Thistle Seafood's fish processing plant.

Thanks to an introduction from Ann Willoughby, Rob and I were fortunate to visit Milton at his New York studio in December 2017. The first thing I remember is the size of his hands — his enveloped mine when we shook. He was initially quite curt and formal, as expected from any celebrity who is often accosted by random requests, but warmed up to us as we described Letterform Archive’s mission, and offered to donate some posters. Obviously, I was interested in his typeface designs, and he showed us some boards of his alphabets which were initially used via photostat but later made as proper film and digital fonts. I hope these boards and any original drawings will end up at an archive where someone can research their origins and the contributing designers such as George Leavitt and Michael Doret.
先日某カメラ屋さんで有名な写真家の方に遭遇していた。
てのも、僕はぜ〜んぜん写真家の方を知らないのでっっw
そんな話でカメラ好きな同僚と飲みに行き〜の中の一枚。( ↑ 写真のヤツは同僚w
・・・数日前、とあるカメラ屋さんに入ると店長さんとオッチャンが談笑していた。
ちょうど帰り際だったのかな？
たまたま通りがかりの僕のカメラ（ペンタコン）に興味を持ってくれて３人でちょと談笑。
程なく、おっちゃんが学生運動の話やロンドンの話を始めた。（この時まだ誰か把握してないw）
聞いていると何やらビックネームの話がバンバン出て来て
なんとな〜く、「このおっちゃん、おそらくタダ者ではない！！！？」と気付き始めたw
・・・とまぁそんな話しを次の日職場でしつつ、カメラ雑誌みたらあのおっちゃんが写っててw
ちょと飲み行こうぜ〜って話w
なんだかよくわからんけど、良いひと時でございましたw
Thank you for visiting.

While visiting Auburn, Indiana with my brother Doug on September 4 and 5, 2015 during the ACD Festival, we had lunch and twice had ice cream at the Cranberry Cottage Cafe. The cafe is connected with Savvy Avenue Consignment, a charming repurposing of an old church.

The village of Aignan features a very remarkable, enormous Romanesque church. Much too large for such a small settlement, it was heavily fortified and made part of the ramparts that protected the village. This explains that the only entrance is to the south, which was inside the sheet wall.
It is a truly remarkable church, a fine example of the alliance between the regular and the secular in the interest of mutual protection.
This is a very interesting view of the “double apse” that shows how the church was enlarged haphazardly on the one side, as the other was part of the sheet wal that encircled the village for protection —and a very thick wall it was indeed!
