I watched you change
Into a fly
I looked away
You were on fire
I watched a change in you
It's like you never had wings
Now you feel so alive
I've watched you change

I made my annual trip to London in November, as ever, the only bloke in a coach full of women. I think it’s my 16th year now. A fund-raising trip in aid of Slaithwaite Brass Band it started as a one day trip and eleven years ago we started to stay overnight Sat/Sun at The Cumberland Hotel at Marble Arch, a superb central location. Leaving at seven we are usually at the hotel for 11.45 subject to traffic. We usually have really good weather, this year though Saturday was really wet, I was probably the only person on the trip who wasn’t bothered, having made the trip so many times I was looking forward to getting photos on the busy streets in the wet, all reflections and umbrellas, something different for a change. I headed off with my camera and backpack as soon as we got there. Currently struggling with a damaged ankle, I tried to keep the kit to a minimum and in the end, I decided to stick with my 16-35mm lens all weekend. I started with the Selfridges Christmas window display and worked my way to Piccadilly, making sure I found a licensed café for late lunch and a glass of wine (two actually) I was meeting my daughters and two of their friends to take them out later so I was working to a bit of an agenda.
After eating Italian, we popped along to the Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park only to find that they stopped serving food and drink at 10.00pm-it was the drink that we were after needless to say so we went back to the City of Quebec pub near the hotel. We were directed to the night club downstairs. Having been upstairs many times we had no idea the Quebec was a gay pub- we soon realised when we got downstairs. We had a good laugh and a drink or two and made it in before midnight.
I checked out loaded up with a beautiful breakfast at 8.15 on Sunday. It had dried up and was a glorious sunny day, a complete contrast to Saturday. I felt like I had London to myself for a while and made good progress, I made it to Covent Garden by 9.15. I walked through Seven Dials, Theatreland, Chinatown, St Pauls, crossed the Thames and down to Tower Bridge. I covered about ten Miles each day and took around 800 shots, mostly in the rain on Saturday.
I was father Christmas again on the way home, we all buy a mystery present and I get the job of going around the coach distributing them, there’s some serious drinking on the way home so things can get a bit boisterous at the back of the coach. We left at 3.15, had an overlong break at Tibshelf services and we were back in Slaithwaite for 8.30. A few of us dragged our bags to The Little Bridge wine bar for another latish night, followed by an early start for me unfortunately.
It changes everytime I piece a new block.
No idea what this quilt will end up like.

I put all my small change (1p, 2p and 5p) in this jar - It's nearly full now, I wonder what I can afford to buy with it?
Climate Corporate Governance for Financial Institutions - Building resilience to climate change risk
During the past decade, with extreme weather causing hundreds of USD billions of
losses per year and the changing climate intensifying the adverse effects of wasteful
practices, environmental considerations have overtaken economic concerns as the
main sources of global risk, according to the World Economic Forum.
Financial regulators and the European Union are responding with recommendations
and guidance on the disclosure of climate-related financial risks to help integrate
sustainability into investor portfolio management. Credit rating agencies are
developing new ways to anticipate how climate-related risks could impact businesses
and financial institutions.
But is this enough?
To assess whether the financial sector is adequately equipped, the EBRD is brought
together representatives from financial institutions to share their practical experience
of the ‘what’ and ‘how’ of climate-related risk management.
The event discuseed ways to achieve an effective investor-led climate response
via climate corporate governance, standards-based climate finance, climate risk
management, climate-related capital market products.

So I decided to make some more camera changes. Selling the 50Ds, replacing them with (eventually) a pair of 1D MkIIIs, with a 1D MkIIN backup
The first MkIII arrived today, and I'm enjoying it a lot. The 1Ds just feel better in my hands than the camera+grip combos I've been using.
I'm also selling my last EF-S lens, so all of my lenses will be usable on APS-H and full frame cameras.
My new 12-24 Sigma also showed up (12-24 on full-frame, no less), so I'll now have a 12-24, a 24 1.4, a 24-105, a 70-200 and 1.4x and 2x converters, plus a walkaround 28-300.
Eventually, I might finally be done buying camera gear. I doubt it, but it's possible. :)

I changed the rear of the turret, after shortening the whole thing by one stud (good suggestion, Tim, it looks better), and reworked the storage area into an enclosed blow-out compartment. I think it works better.

With a population of 35,000 Fairbanks is the economic hub for for the northern regions of Alaska, there are a above average large retail stores which the population relies on for basic needs. It is not unusual for folks to fly to Fairbanks for just shopping from the numerous small town in the region.

"Mudanças. Nós não gostamos delas. Nós a tememos. No entanto, não conseguimos evitá-las. Ou nos adaptamos às mudanças, ou somos deixados para trás. Crescer é doloroso. Qualquer um que te disser que não, está mentindo. Mas aqui vai a verdade: às vezes, quanto mais as coisas mudam, mais elas permanecem as mesmas. E às vezes mudar é bom. Às vezes mudar é tudo."
Novo ano e grandes mudanças já acontecendo. Boa sorte pra mim e um 2011 de sucesso a todos!

Hello Aurore and 350.org,
Well we had fun today! Here is the 1st of 2 e-mails with photographs.
Mark D'Arcy, Council of Canadians - Fredericton Chapter
Fredericton, New Brunswick
*Justin Trudeau face the "Whales in the Room" at his campaign stop in
Fredericton, New Brunswick *
FREDERICTON, SEPTEMBER 8, 2015 - Citizens held a silent rally in downtown
Fredericton outside the Liberal Party campaign barbeque attended by Liberal
Leader Justin Trudeau, making a very visible call for action on climate
change. Using their North Atlantic Right Whale "No Energy East" signs, the
Fredericton chapter of the Council of Canadians made quite a splash.
Although several Liberal supporters tried to block the whales and climate
change signs, the large crowd and Justin Trudeau could not help but see the
elephant in the room.
Our political leaders need to address climate change. Fredericton has
already experienced more severe weather of climate change, most
notably Post-Tropical
Storm Arthur in July 5, 2014 when the city suffered widespread damage with
the loss of over 5000 trees from an unusually severe summer storm with
gusts approaching 100 km/hr.
Citizens had the copy of two reports which they handed out to Justin
Trudeau’s campaign team. One was the scientific paper from the Nature
journal that states that 85% of Canada’s tar sands, among other fossil fuel
reserves in the world, needs to stay in the ground in order to tackle
climate change. The other was the just-released report by Citicorp, the
3rd largest bank in the United Nations. Citicorp makes the conclusion that
the world economy must transition away from fossil fuels, and with the low
price of oil, this would actually be CHEAPER, rather than maintaining the
status quo of our carbon-based economy.

Oggi le mie mani sembrano d'avorio
è l'inizio di una nuova era anche per me
Oggi è mattino e mi ha afferrato lucido
e se fossimo noi ad esser sbagliati
e se fossimo noi pazzi e malati
hai il coraggio o no?
Cose semplici e banali per riconcigliarmi
con gli anni sprecati
e dentro ci sei tu
grazie a tutti per davvero
siamo alla fine
e ho perso l'inizio
ma ho un senso in più.
Cose semplici e banali, Afterhours
