L to R - Merlin, Phil and Andrew were enjoying their morning coffee when I stopped to ask if I could take their photograph. They readily agreed and said they meet here regularly for coffee away from the city centre. They find it was more pleasant to sit outside and the coffee was good and reasonable. They kindly treated me to a coffee and after a lively conversation I left them to continue my walk.
Philadelphia Skyline, crossing the Ben Franklin Bridge from Camden,New Jersey. Taken on Samsung NX300 with 18-200mm lens.
Here's one of my favorite photos I got in Philly... I took thousands while there, but this one is definitely one that sticks out in my mind. THANK YOU again for coming out to the talk at the Ritz-Carlton. Next up, Boston!

I've dived into the archives to find something a bit different to break up the photostream somewhat.
This one does, however, follow the current theme of calamity...
A few years ago a group of us went to the Lake District in late November to get into training for our trip to Nepal the following Spring. Overnight whilst we were snug in our tent the weather broke and dumped a load of snow so we woke to a winter wonderland.
Properly armed and equipped, we climbed Bowfell with a bit of puffing and panting as we waded through the increasingly deep snow. Unfortunately when we got to the top, one of our merry band collapsed due to a previously undiagnosed heart condition. Being nearly 3,000 feet up, and a long way from the nearest road, there was nothing else for it but to call the intrepid mountain rescue.
...and along came this big yellow bird!
I can now understand how journalists work. Even though a friend was in a bad way, this shot was impossible to resist - it's not every day you find yourself underneath a Sea-King helicopter with your mate being dangled along with an RAF crewman on the winch line.
This was a good reminder that no matter how experienced and well equipped a group may be - we had literally 100's of years experience between us - there will always be situations that catch you out in the mountains.
I'm glad to say that it ended well, Phil got properly treated and he was fit and well enough to come to Nepal with us 5 months later.

When I saw this young man walking with this balloon I asked if I could take a quick portrait to which he readily agreed. As the balloon twirled in the wind I moved around and waited for a good reflection.
