I have been fascinated by photography ever since I was a child. These days I am seldom more than a few metres from a camera. My photographic interests sprawl from artificial intelligence through to vintage zoom lenses. Unsurprisingly, there’s also quite a lot of Linux in the middle. :-) More…
My girlfriend was working for the London Golf Show and asked me if I’d care to join her in for a few days ad take lots of pictures of the show. Naturally I agreed. These are a few snaps as we arrived the night before the show began, at the Excel Centre, London.
Ever since I was a kid, I have always been fascinated by LEDs (light emitting diodes). Back in those days you could only get red ones. Or green if you were very rich. Today they come in lots of colours and they are brilliant fun to use with a digital camera.
A few snaps from around Southampton City Centre.
Took a little road trip with my girlfriend to visit Guildford Cathedral.
Bought my girlfriend this little angel fairly thing. Thought I better grab a few snaps before I gave it to her.
Day trip to Lymington. Grabbed a few snaps too, though it was too cold to hang about for too long.
Went to see an old friend in Lindhurst today. Stopped on the way to take a few photographs of the Christmas lights.
Thought I’d wander into Winchester and grab a few snaps of the Christmas lights.
Today I had to visit the Postgraduate Department at the Ark, an educational facility at Basingstoke Hospital. Thought I’d take a few snaps while I was there.
I have not been out much the last few days, so I thought I’d go into central and do a bit of shopping.
Wandered about Kowloon for most of the day, taking pictures.
Another wander about Kowloon.
It was a really nice day today, so we thought we’d have breakfast on the beach at Mui Wo.
A very enjoyable meal with my pal’s Chinese girlfriend’s folks.
Wandered into Kowloon today, camera at the ready. I’ve always been particularly fascinated by Canton Road, where there are tiny shops packed to the ceilings with engineering bits, bearings springs etc. And other emporia with distinctly amusing names.
Went into Central with my hots today. It was quite hot and we didn’t do much. But I did manage to grab a handful moderately good snaps.
Thought I’d have a change today and go up into the Mui WO hills. Take a look at some of Llama Island’s fascinating countryside and perhaps grab a few photos.
It was quite a clear da today, so I thought I’d tale the Peak Tram and take some more snaps of the city from on high.
Caught the catamaran to visit the former Portuguese colony Macau today, accompanied by my friends and hosts.
My very temporary office on Hong Kong. Actually the basement of my friend’s house in Mui Wo. But it was a great base form which to see Hong Kong and its environs and it was very good of my friends to put me up.
The final leg, Belgium and then Calais on the north coast of France The trip that was planned to be about 1700 km each way in fact was over 5500 km, mostly due to our various detours. Other days Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Part 8…

Prague > Berlin It’s not everybody’s cup of tea but I always had a bit of a soft spot for Berlin. I was there when the Wall came down. So it was interesting to go back and see what had become of it, after all these years. Other days Part 1 Part 2 Part 3…
Bratislava > Prague Not been to Prague for over decade. It was good to see the old place again. Sadly by the time we arrived it was too late to get any photos. But we managed a few snaps on the way there. Other days Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5…
Pécs Driving around the beautiful city of Pécs and some snaps from the observation platform on the Pécs TV Torony. At 197 metres tall, the Pécs TV Tower is the tallest building in Hungary and the views from it are quite stunning. Other days Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part…
