That's quite a scene! Does it need a little CW rotation? Unusual/ intriguing sense of scale & space- were you up another building or in a plane?

I was up at the top of this!

Burj Khalifa in Dubai, previous shot was taken about 4pm so starting to get quite hazy, and just on the wee S95.

+1 to AWN's comments, it feels almost surreal, especially when you think it was taken from a building! Perhaps part of the reason is the contrast between the high-rises and the seemingly undeveloped/flat surrounding areas.

Doesn't look like such a bad place to work though

On a trip to York at the moment, very photogenic place



Cliffords Tower, York by Dibbly Dobbler, on Flickr

This photo reminded me of my stag party during which, wearing a pink morph-suit, I was challenged to run up Clifford's Tower bank while my cohorts chased me with sticks. Blind due to the mask, I ran as fast as my skinny pink legs could pump, slipping all over the place.

Only to reach the top to find them all standing at the bottom laughing at me.

Love York!

I'd agree with that.

I have the option of a low cost track day on Monday but need a road registered car - don't think my poor old daily driver will like the abuse. Might be a good chance to 'test drive' the 962 or maybe a Carrera GT?



Right, back to topic ....

I'm back after my router decided it didn't want to route any more.

For the last few days, we have had astonishing light, colour & weather here. Worth clicking on the below for full size methinks.

I see this view every day, but it's the best it has ever looked, since I moved here:



And down the road:

I hope it is like that over there this weekend!, planning on spending a saturday in the Loch Maree/ Gairloch area.

That first one is stunning even by your standards Steve!

Ta. I'd have had to have been a complete klutz to mess that one up. T'was a gift of a shot.

Got two limited edition vinyls today. They're hand painted, signed and numbered by the DJ/music producer Fake Blood.

I've got numbers 11/100 and 46/100.

A bit of architecture from me


Knowledge Transfer Centre by PGDesigns.co.uk, on Flickr

I'm not keen on the architecture itself either

[CommanderJameson]

I think that looks great. So much nicer that the awful brick and aqua glass that seems to be de rigeur these days.

Excellent shot, too, although if it were mine, I might be tempted to introduce Mr Lamp-post at the left to Mr Cloning Brush.

That's a fine sharp image. When I first saw it I thought Canon 17-40mm but I see it's the Canon tilt shift 24mm. Looks good.

Yes that lamp post is bugging me too - I drew the line at editing that one out though, several other niggles have already gone..

I kind of don't get these tilt-shift lenses (other than doing the toytown thing) - can anybody explain how the above image differs to something taken with an ordinary wide angle ? TIA
