I’m seldom more than a few metres from a camera and I generally have one in my pocket, bag or car. These are a few snaps from my various travels.
Today we had a fairly big brushfire up in the Mui-Wo Hills. A helicopter carrying a large bucket of water was dispatched to put out the fire, along with several fire engines. The helicopter, tail number B-HRN is a Eurocopter AS-332L2 Super Puma Mk2, owned by the Hong Hong government. More about this aircraft https://airport-data.com/aircraft/B-HRN
Wandered up to the Hong Kong Train museum, took a few snaps then went on to City One Shatin.

Spent the late afternoon and evening wandering around Kowloon and Central, Hong Kong.
Today we enjoyed a pleasant boat ride to Chueng Chau, in Hong Kong’s Outer Islands.
Just spent a pleasant afternoon wandering around Kowloon and Central, Hong Kong.
Spent the afternoon wandering around Hong Kong in the rain. Despite the gloomy skies and the poor light, it still manages to be such a strangely photogenic city.
Just a few idle snaps as we wandered around Heathrow as we waited for our plane to Hong Kong.
There was an unusually heavy fall of snow overnight. So I thought I would wander across to the Common and grab a few snaps.
Another pilgrimage to the top of one of my favourite places: the observation platform on the 197 metre Pécs TV Torony. It is currently the tallest building in Hungary. Built between 1968 an 1973, It stands atop the Misina peak of Mecsek (elevation: 535 metres). More information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C3%A9cs_TV_Tower
Went out to the New Forest to visit my mother, in the little red MX5. While we were there, I took the opportunity top gather some images of Lepe Beach and the now dilapidated Langley Tavern. I also took a few snaps of my shiny new Eton S350DL multiband radio.
A day trip to the beautiful seaside town of Brighton. I actually went there to visit a new client. Fortunately the meeting did not take long so I spent the rest of the days taking pictures with a Fuju S9600 Bridge camera.
Another walk across Southampton Common, camera in hand
Just taken the MX5 for a little spin across the New Forest. Naturally, we made plenty of stops for photos.
Today we took a road trip to the Otter Sanctuary near Longdown in the New Forest.
I arranged to meet up with an on-line photographer friend in Shoreham, in Sussex. I had arrange to collect a pair of fluorescent plat-panel continuous studio lights from him. I decided to make a few stops en route and grab a few snaps. For some strange reason, large, out-of-place structures always seem to interest me….
[Reproduced from DEOSS ] Seems that Micro$haft’s corporate enslavement permeates far beyond the English-speaking world. A long and complex legal battle is currently raging in the former Eastern Bloc state of Hungary. APEH (the Hungarian Tax Office) has decided that all Hungarian businesses now have to submit their tax returns on-line. This would not be…
Been working on the computer and experimenting with my Icom IC-R20 radio scanner for a couple of days. So I thought it was time to get some fresh air, and perhaps take some more pictures of a snow-covered Pécs, Hungary.
Spent Christmas with my girlfriend’s folks and it snowed quite hard. So I thought I’d get out and grab a few snaps of Pécs before it melts.
Just spent a very cold and snowy New Years Eve in Pécs, Hungary.
Winter in Pécs, Hungary. Spent the day wandering around the town and doing a bit of shopping in Árkád – the main shopping centre. And of course, taking lots of photos.
Spending Christmas and New Yerwith my girlfriend’s folks in Christmas in Pécs, Hungary. Spent most of today in the town, wading through the snow and drinking hot coffee and brandy in a café.
I found myself at the 50th Anniversary Trabifest in Zwickau in the former East Germany. Not sure I fully understand the enthusiasm for these funny little cars – though I did find myself becoming bitten by the bug. I guess there is a large cultural element to this phenomenon. It seems the humble Trabi has…
