Having played around with some oil on water my next venture was washing up liquid....how would this look under a macro lens? Needless to say it is interesting, and trying to capture the bigger air bubbles after shaking the bottle is not so easy....you have to be quick!
After waiting for what felt like an age on a cold Sunday in Colchester zoo one of the red Panda Cub's finally turned to face me for a split second.
So having spent a morning out with the camera Taiga and her cubs, Mischa, Pasha and Tatana were all feeling very photogenic!
After a little nap Luka was happy enough to continue his inquisitive stare directly at me sat comfortable on his rock.
Lottie the baby white rhino at Colchester Zoo. Casually running around and terrorising the other rhinos it was quite amusing to watch.
Whilst on our long weekend we were very fortunate to be upgraded to a suite in our hotel. The view from the suite looked like this and was stunning.
A nice moment shared with 4 month old Pasha. Having already had a good opportunity to photograph his brother Mischa, Pasha was wondering what it was all about and lay in the shade staring straight at me for a number of minutes.
Shortly after brother Luka ventured out in front of the crowd sister Lena made her way out for a bit of playtime.
The 90m light tunnel connecting Kings Cross to St Pancras Square. Interesting to see first thing in the morning without hoards of tourists swamping the area.
A throwback capture from Banham Zoo of a bald eagle that was more than happy to have his photo taken, and then decided to stare me out...

A very random building not too far away from Covent Garden whilst walking from the Holborn underground station. Interesting design and made me look up!

basdus: Nice shot #lookingup (by the way, why is the letter 'i' next to 'o' on my keyboard? Makes it tricky when typing 'nice shot'. Narrow escape! ;-)

Whilst walking around in Gdansk, we opted to take a subway under the main road and found this musician horsing around :)
The road between the camps in Birkenau, a harrowing and lasting image that cannot easily be forgotten.
Another great day shooting with the Amur tiger cubs. Pasha as always feeling very photogenic and willing.
The Amber Sky Ferris Wheel in Gdansk on a cold November evening through the viewpoint of my other half.
Amur cub Luka managed to find some higher ground to hide from sister Lena with his piece of firehose...how long will that last!
Luka and Lena appeared after waiting in the chilly wind for around 40 minutes. Once in sight they quite casually plonked themselves on a log and sat in the sun watching on.
The Lockheed Hudson general reconnaissance bomber first flew on 10 December 1938, and was the military version of the Lockheed 14 Super Electra which, in turn, was derived from the Lockheed 10 Electra. Later in 1938, the Hudson was ordered for the RAAF and the first aircraft, A16-1, was received at No 2 Aircraft Depot on 9 February 1940, and the last, A16-247, on 20 May 1942.
By August 1940, Hudsons of Nos 1 and 8 Squadrons had deployed to Malaya and these aircraft made the first RAAF retaliative missions against the Japanese on 8 December 1941. Hudsons continued to strike back during the following months of adversity and wreaked tremendous damage on enemy ships and landing forces. In the Pacific area, Hudsons served with Nos 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 23, 24, 25, 32 and 38 Squadrons, while RAF-serialled Hudsons operated with No 459 RAAF Squadron in the Middle East. With the introduction of Beauforts, the Hudsons were gradually relegated to communication and training duties.
RAAF Hudsons included Mks I, II, III and IV. Mks I and II had different airscrews, and the Mk I carried a spinner. Mk IIIs were fitted with 1200 hp Wright Cyclones, and carried an additional ventral gun and two beam guns; Mk IVs were fitted with 1050 hp Pratt and Whitney Wasps. One all-silver Hudson, A16-142, was conspicuous during the war years, and another, A16-214, was used for airborne lifeboat experiments.

A quick snap of the famous view from the Pont Sant Angelo bridge. Not going to lie, had to fight to get this photo through hoards of photographers with tripods that had been camping for the "perfect moment"!
The largest global sailing competition
The Barcolana is a historic international sailing regatta held every year in the Gulf of Trieste on the second Sunday of October. Known for being one of the most attended regattas, from the 2018 edition, the Barcolana, with 2689 registered boats, is at the top in the ranking of the most crowded regattas in the world, a goal achieved and reached with commitment by the whole Sailing Company Barcola and Grignano. Currently the Barcolana is the largest regatta in the world. [3] The particular formula that distinguishes it makes it a unique event in the international sailing scene: on a single starting line in fact they find themselves competing alongside professional sailors and simple enthusiasts, on boats of various sizes that are divided into categories depending on the length all out.
La Barcolana è una storica regata velica internazionale che si tiene ogni anno nel Golfo di Trieste nella seconda domenica di ottobre. Nota per essere una delle regate con più alta partecipazione, dall’edizione 2018, la Barcolana, con 2689 imbarcazioni iscritte, si pone in vetta nella classifica delle regate più affollate al mondo, un traguardo ambito e raggiunto con impegno da tutta la Società Velica di Barcola e Grignano. Attualmente la Barcolana è la regata più grande del mondo.[3] La particolare formula che la contraddistingue la rende un evento unico nel panorama velico internazionale: su una singola linea di partenza infatti si ritrovano a gareggiare fianco a fianco velisti professionisti e semplici appassionati, su imbarcazioni di varie dimensioni che vengono suddivise in categorie a seconda della lunghezza fuori tutto.
