I was lucky enough to take the train from London to Paris over the Easter. How do they compare?Gare du Nord, Paris / St Pancras International, London
Sacre Coeur, Paris / St Paul's London
La Defense / St Mary Axe, City of London
Sculpture in Jardin des Tuileries, Paris / Sculpture in Broadgate, London
Some I've shot over the past month:The West End
Piccadilly Circus, towards Regent Street
Oxford Street
London Christmas tree - a gift from Norway
East London - the Royal Victoria Dock
A small chunk of what was once the largest port on the planet. Some of the old buildings remain, some of it is an airport, or apartments, or a convention centre...
Bridge over the dock
The old Spillers Mills
The London Boat Show
Road to ExCeL
London just south of the Thames
Felt good to pick up the ol' camera again...Memorial for the Murdered Jews of Europe
Olympia Stadion - the one made famous by Jesse Owens. It was rebuilt for the World Cup 2006.
Reichstag dome - after the original dome of the German parliament was bombed, it was rebuilt as a glass structure to symbolize transparent government. The main hall of the parliament is also visible from the dome.
Reichstag dome 2 - looking down.
I bought a Canon 350D on Thursday and took my first ever shots on an SLR yesterday -- and what better place to do it than London?

3 days in Madrid is not enough...

Torre Picasso One, Two and Three
Plaza Mayor, the main square. Don't leave your camera or your cellphone on the table... the kids will steal it.
The Police with the symbol of Madrid in the background - el oso y el madroño (the bear and the strawberry tree). Madrid, you're on notice.
Puerta del Sol, and again
A couple of pics that I liked from my latest trip.
Lion at the base of Nelson's Tower in Trafalgar Square. I like the how the bronze/greenish colours stand out.
Cliche picture of Tower Clock and Underground sign
Police bike and Nelson's Tower. I wish I didn't have to use the flash but London is a dark place in the winter....

Eight is the lucky number 'round that side of the world. So I'll post 8 pictures.
My first ever attempt at closeups + flash, in my garden...
