Why, you might ask, is a ride on a large ferris wheel called a “Flight“? Your guess is as good as mine but I think it might have something to do with the London Eye’s original sponsor, British Airways. Whatever the reason, I thought this image made a good candidate for this weeks PhotoFriday. It was taken on my second “flight,” the first being a couple of years earlier.

With my camera still primed and ready after my weekend PhotoFriday activity, I just had to take a few shots of this rainbow as seen from our flat. Rainbows are pretty much the only up-side I can see of the nasty weather we’ve been having for most of the last couple of weeks!

• Why the Kibibyte is freaking me out - From the "well you learn something new every day" category. Apparently a kilobytes probably isn't what you think it is…
• Earthquake hits much of England - We actually felt this here in London, although in my half-asleep, half-awake doze I wasn't entirely sure whether it was real or a dream!
• Danish wind turbine eats itself - To all those that said that wind power was safe…

When I think of “silver,” this weeks theme for PhotoFriday, bright, gleaming things such as London’s Canary Wharf come to mind.

Please vote for my entry in last weeks PhotoFriday! I’m entry 245.

Until now, all the pictures I’ve put here have been based on a theme: the country I was in when I took them. I do take pictures at other times though, and there are often not enough of them to justify a complete page to themselves.

That’s what you’ll find on this page.

There are basically four groups. Firstly there are a few snaps from a quick trip around Durham, in the North-East of England. Then I was briefly in and around Montreal, Canada in May 2000. There are also a couple of pictures taken around Wimbledon during the summer. All these are taken on the Canon Sureshot. At the end you’ll find the highlights of the first roll of film through my EOS (Jessops ISO200). They’re all in and around London.
