Mini-break based in Oban visiting Inner Hebridean Islands and Western Highlands.
Tobermory is the chief town of the Isle of Mull. It was built as a fishing port in the late 18th century.
There is reputed to be the wreck of a Spanish galleon somewhere in the mud at the bottom of the bay. The ship was part of the defeated Armada of 1588 and was fleeing the English fleet when she anchored in Tobermory to take on provisions. More recently, Tobermory has been the setting for the children’s programme Balamory.
This was taken along a sectin of lower base line that descends into a small valley. I was trying to capture an image that would provide a range of tones in bw, but that also had some interest. I liked the cloud direction and shape, and also the slight undulation in the hill and trees in the background.
The Office is based on the very beginning of Harry Nuriev’s career when he was an intern in a small office with no window in a typical Russian office building. This was the space where Nuriev began to create his imaginary world—all the commonplace office furniture and equipment became extraordinary works of art.
The overall concept expresses Nuriev’s ideas about connecting fashion, design, and art. The installation is inspired by the Balenciaga SS19 fashion show, which made Nuriev think he is not the only one thinking about office life.
Pho & Bun, based on Shaftesbury Avenue, is the brainchild of 28 year old restauranteur Chef Andy Le. Andy is owner of Viet Eat in Holborn, which has seems to have been making waves in the last two years - Pho & Bun is his ânew thingâ, and will take some of the most popular items from Viet Eatâs menu, plus a few additions (itâs a âminimisedâ 20 item menu). All the chairs, tables and crockery are handmade in Vietnam, and the walls are covered in a combination of what may or may not be âVietnam inspired indoor street artâ. Itâs pretty stripped down and unpretentious, setting the scene for the street food that they do so well. The restaurant has 80 covers on the ground floor and basement, and is open everyday from 12:00 am to 11:00 pm. Considering the Soho location, pre/post theatre perhaps?
As Andy describes it, the supposed premise behind Vietnamese food is that itâs "less oily than Chinese food, less spicy than Thai food and less heavy than Indian food.â. I guess this is arguable, but Iâve always found it to be honest, hearty cuisine, and they are right - it IS less oily than a lot of mainstream Asian cuisine (with the exception of Japanese, perhaps?).
Anyway, Pho & Bun are focusing on Hanoi street food. Mainly (as you can imagine) Pho - which is a type ofâ¦wholesome noodle stew, and Bun - which is actually a play on words. The first meaning: the âBaoâ bun, a type of milky bun thatâs made from a combination of steamed rice flour and milk (we will return to this later...). The second is the Vietnamese word âBunâ - which is their word for vermicelli noodles (thinner than âregularâ noodles...)
And no, I canât say Iâve tried any of their vermicelli but holy shit the Bao/bun burger hybrid is truly quite something (see pictures: itâs the little white burger impaled by Vietnamese flag). 28 day dry aged beef patty coexisting alongside an extremely generous of Viet Eatâs signature smoky mayo sauce and a maelstrom of herbs and fresh salad, encased in the signature pale hirata bun. The Vietnamese have truly made the burger their own...
Andyâs original plan was to raise £35,000 on Kickstarter for the launch. I donât think they managed to get the entire figure, but, as you can see, it sure didnât stop them launching! I also got to try Bia Saigon / Saigon Beer - which is a lager from Ho Chi Minh City. I guess it had never crossed my mind that the Vietnamese would be into brewing as much as some of their neighbours...
JOINT BASE MYER-HENDERSON HALL (April 30, 2014) -- The Nation's Capital Region may have been deluged under heavy rain storms, but for more than a thousand audience members at this year's opening performance of the U.S. Army Military District of Washington's (MDW) Twilight Tattoo, it was all about enjoying the military spectacle.
Twilight Tattoo is an hour-long, live-action military pageant featuring Soldiers from the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) and the U.S. Army Band "Pershing's Own." Audience members from around the world experience a glimpse into American history through performances by the U.S. Army Blues, vocalists from the U.S. Army Band Downrange, the Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps, and the U.S. Army Drill Team.
"Beginning each spring and running all summer long until August, thousands of people watch our Soldiers tell the Army's story," said Jeremy Kern, MDW assistant marketing director. "Performances are usually outside, but if it rains like it did today, no worries, we just do it inside at Conmy Hall right here post."
Twilight Tattoo's opening performance was hosted by, Maj. Gen. Jeffrey S. Buchanan, MDW's commanding general. Buchanan used the first show of the season to recognize the partnership his command has with the USO of Metropolitan Washington. USO Metro board member, Bob Kaylor accepted a memento during the opening segment of the show.
Twilight Tattoo performances begin at 7 p.m. Pre-ceremony pageantry begins at 6:45 p.m. Performances from April 30 through June 25 will be located at Summerall Field at JBM-HH, Arlington, Va. Performances from July 9 through Aug. 20 will be located at Whipple Field, JBM-HH and of course if the weather is bad, it is held indoors at Conmy Hall on JBM-HH.
