My eldest has become a vinyl collector. 35 years ago I used to go downtown to Toronto at night to sift through the chaotic shelves of Sam the Record Man's Yonge Street store. History repeats.
The new Foyles flagship at 107 Charing Cross Road houses a range of over 200,000 different titles on four miles (6.5km) of shelves - the equivalent of lining one bank of the Thames with books from Battersea Power Station to the Tower of London.
With 37,000 square feet of retail space, spread across eight alternating foot-plates over four floors, it is the largest bookshop to have opened in the UK so far this century. Alongside books, we have a wide range of gifts and stationery, magazines, printed music, classical music CDs and Classic and World DVDs as well as Ray's Jazz, Grant & Cutler Foreign Languages, a Cafe and an Auditorium. An impressive full height central atrium and large windows fill the space with natural light, while the layout allows for easy navigation and the serendipitous discovery of new books.
While the new shop was being built, there was a competition with ten illustrators from Central Saint Martins to create illustrations for a large-scale building wrap to cover the new building while it was under construction.
Artist Rebecca Hendin's entry was selected, commissioned and on the facade of the building until late last year. In January 2015, we were delighted to hear that her design had been awarded bronze in the advertising category of the Society of Illustrators Los Angeles Awards.
Foyles, which was founded in 1903 by brothers William and Gilbert Foyle, first opened on Charing Cross Road in 1906 and moved to its location at 113-119 Charing Cross Road in 1929. Declared by William Foyle to be 'the world's first purpose-built bookshop', it quickly became one of the capital's most well-known literary landmarks. William's daughter, Christina, built friendships with some of the leading writers of the time and pioneered bookshop author events, beginning a lecture series in the 1920s and founding the famous Foyles Literary Luncheons in 1930. The move to 107 Charing Cross Road in June 2014 marks a new chapter for our world-renowned, family-owned bookshop.
Employing more than 80 expert booksellers to who are be happy to offer any help or advice, Foyles is at the spatial home of bookshops in London

Hello everyone!
I’d like to present my final entry for the Eurobricks Architecture Contest. My entry is a micro scale model of the University of Waterloo Mathematics and Computer Science building. The base is 57x 34 studs. The building consists of 1600 bricks.
The MOC is the same size as the TLG set- Robie House.
Some facts:
Location: ............................... Waterloo, Ontario
Date: ..................................... --- to 1968
Building Type: .......................university building
Style: ..............................................brutalism
Materials ...............................stone, glass, wood, concrete
Why I chose this building?
I was browsing the Internet for an idea but couldn’t decide on anything. It was my elder brother who gave me a tip. He suggested that I should make one of the campus buildings of WU, where he’d got his diploma. I liked Maths and Computer Science building, which is a typical example of brutalism, most of all and immediately got to work. Few days ago I found True Dimensions's creation. This was gorgeous! And I solved, that I must finish entry. I ordered necessary bricks from Bricklink and continued work. Hope you like it!
Why Brutalism?
Most people strongly criticize Brutalism, calling it ugly piles of steel and concrete. But I don’t think it is so harsh and hostile after all. Aesthetics of Brutalism appeals to me. I am fond of clean lines and simple geometric forms. Of course I wouldn’t call Brutalist buildings beautiful. What I like them for is the fact they reflect our life style. We tend to choose functional things at reasonable prices nowаdays, don’t we? I agree with a French architect Charles Edouard Jeanneret, better known as Le Corbusier, who considered all buildings to be tools and said: “A house is a machine for living in." And brutalist buildings are cheap and functional.

Been browsing through my Ponyo artbook, not near as vibrant as seeing the paintings in real life, but still really stunning. I love the color palette they used for the film.

How often do you lose track of the time when you're on the interwebs? I just noticed the time and forgot I hadn't posted a photo today! I revisited my macbook pose and stuck a bare SB800 on the other side. Turned out alright for a last minute shot. Not sure if Ill be able to keep this up for a whole year. Scratch that, I know I won't survive. But on the off chance I do I will be pleasantly surprised.
3/365
I have been offline for the most part of February while continueing with the 366 project. As much as I love Flickr and browsing through everyone's photos, I still need a break from time to time. I guess January was a lot in that regard; and February is always hard for me, the month of the year I'm dreading the most, when the excitement over the new year (which usually gets me through January quite well) has worn off. February is mostly dark and grey and bleak and exhausting in every way. Now it's March and I feel like my energy has been restored and I'm good to go. So this is me, catching up.
The little one and I were visiting my parents for a few days in January and February.

Whilst browsing through the photostream of fellow Flickrite Crispy I came accross this fine shot of a Crosville National which was the second of the breed to enter service with this concern. Mention was made to the first one, which following the end of its Crosville days was sold for further use as airside transport to Gatwick Handling, the dual door bodywork being highly suited for this use.
Following the forced split of GM Buses into two operating units for privatisation, the southern company went on a buying spree, collecting secondhand Nationals from various sources to refurbish in-house and place into service. Quite a number of these vehicles came from Gatwick Handling and one of those aquired was that very first Crosville vehicle, the former SNL801.
After refurb, conversion to single doorway and a coat of orange paint, the bus took fleetnumber 265 and was placed into service from Stockport depot. Recognising the historical importance of the bus, it retained its 'K' suffix registration, most of the others recieving dateless Northern Irish marks upon re-entering service. 265 is seen here leaving Stockport bus station not long after the Stagecoach takeover of the GM buses south business on the 330 service to Ashton. A standard Atlantean is seen behind on the same service, though owned and operated by the North company : what would once have been a service operated by one company in GM Buses is now operated in competition by two firms using identical vehicles in the same orange based livery!!!!!
The National is now preserved, back into original Crosville colours and with its central exit door restored.
I have a habit of browsing eBay and searching for oddities - glass negatives of London is one of my favourites...
.. this arrived in the post - only a couple of quid - but with much detail. Taken on the 21st May 1937 by "F.C.T" and described as "London (City). Queen Victoria Street looking southwest form Mansion House"
I've only fixed a few scratches in Photoshop - the rest is as per the scan... I left the edges and colour in as I thought the added to atmosphere of the image.
The decorations are for the Coronation of George VI which I think happened on the just over a week before this was taken.
The location is much changed -as can be seen from Google Streetview (goo.gl/maps/DzKMLNDLEcq)
The entrance to Mansion House underground station is still there, but alas none of the original buildings are.
Queen Victoria Street was intended to relieve congestion between the spanky new Victoria Embankment (you can see there's a naming theme here) and The City. Starting at Blackfriars and ending at Bank it was built in a gentle curve and required the purchase and demolition of some 500 properties on the route which alone took nearly two years to complete before construction could begin in 1868.
In the mid 19th Century John Ruskin (for it is he) had written a paper about how the architecture of the city should be Venetian in style since this reflected the mercantile nature of the area - the challenge was taken up and inspired many innovative buildings. The much missed Mappin and Webb building was in the New Gothic Style, inspired by 12th Century French architecture, and you can see echoes of that here.
Today everything in this shot is no more - the buildings, people, lorry, flags and certainly George VI who, although absent, has a presence through the decorations.
Only the name of the street remains remains - like much of London the street names carry the history.
I'll leave you to ponder the ghosts of this location and how that is reflected in other names... nearby Bread Street, Milk Street and the fabulous 'Poultry'... and to...
...enjoy.
Burchell's zebra browsing in Etosha NP, Namibia, Africa. Captured in May 2017.
Recent rains in the area of Etosha NP resulted in beautiful displays of wildflowers and tall grass. The rains and the flowers enabled some superb backgrounds for photos of wildlife, as in this capture.
Thanks for viewing. Any and all comments are welcome and valued!

Well I've been using PicLens for a few months now, and I'm a bit late with this post, but if you haven't installed PicLens yet for browsing photos on the web you are missing one of the most beautiful ways to view photography on the internet yet.
The screenshot above does not do justice to the visual experience. PicLens is hands down the best I have ever seen photos look online.
PicLens is an add on for Firefox users. You can go get it here. When you add PicLens to your Firefox experience, photos on many internet sites (including Flickr and Zooomr) have a little play type triangular icon over them. When you click on this icon it transforms your viewing experience and takes photos to a brand new level. Only photos are loaded on the screen and you can move your mouse to scroll through the photos or enlarge or shrink photos in your viewing experience.
With PicLens photos float through your browser like beauty flowing from a waterfall. The motion effects are outstanding. Best of all though, PicLens allows you to see photos in the true splendor that they are best seen in. Large. One of the problems with viewing many photos large on the internet is that you have to click and wait for a new page to load. This gets boring and tiresome. Not with PicLens though. Simply move your mouse scroll button up or down and photos get larger and smaller.
As amazing as PicLens is for browsing photos on the web I do wish that they improve one thing.
Right now interacting with photos on PicLens is very difficult. While you can click through to any photo to fave/comment/bookmark/etc., when you do this PicLens ends abruptly. After you interact with the photo there is no easy way to get back to the PicLens page where you were browsing before you clicked out of your PicLens experience.
What would most easily fix this would be if PicLens allowed you to ctl-click (on a PC) or cmd-click (on a Mac) and have that photo's page load in Firefox in the background. This way you could browse someone's entire stream, favorites, etc. in PicLens, all the while cmd-clicking (in my case) as you go to go back and interact with the photos that you liked best once you were done.
Alternatively, TranceMist suggests that people simply could be allowed to fave/comment on a photo from within PicLens.
Looking at photos on PicLens is like seeing them in a fine art gallery or museum. Photos take on a whole new beauty. But more interactive features are still needed.
