A Storm Comes Rolling In

Over the last week the weather has been stiffling and really hot ... so a storm rolling in on Saturday was a real relief. Here are some of the photo's I took from the balcony over Satuday and Sunday.

UB40

Wel it is currently the London Motorshow at the Excel exhibition centre and accompanying it is the Dock Rock concerts. Last night it was UB40 and we had tickets ;o)

This is the stadium before the show


The two of us before the show

Now I must give some background ... I have my Dad to thank for my very diverse taste in music ... he bought me my first UB40 tape when I was a lot younger so the concert really reminded me of him and I think he would have really enjoyed it.

The concert started and the vibe was incredible ... old and young everyone got up and danced even the people who had seated tickets moved down to dance on the floor.


















They even had a song they wrote about South Africa in the apartheid era and yes that is a South African flag ;o)





Even the cars where jiving in tune with the music ( the bass setting off the car alarms)



It was a very kewl concert and I really enjoyed it ... but enough for now ... motorshow photo's later

Cheers

Check the man on the moon

So JF has been visiting us the last week giving me a chance to play with his new camera. These are the pictures taken with his camera. They were all taken from our balcony during the week as the moon filled.




Canary Wharf ...






... more Canary Wharf ...
























































And of course the pano in black and white.

I have also been experimenting with posting some of my photo's together and this is what I came up with.
Enough howling at the moon now ...

Hanging around

Well as jou probably know by now JF came to visit which involved lots and lots of hanging around with friends so here are some of the pics we took around the flat and on the station and visiting Liesl, during the week.





This was on the train to Forrest Hill to visit Liesl.





With Liesl and JF at Royal Victoria station.







Say no more ...

Queen Mary .... mini reunion

We had a mini reunion on the Queen Mary last night ... had an amazing time ... it's good to see old friends ... Here are some of the photo's we took while we where there ... from ltr JF, Liesl, Carin and Me.

Had lots of Pimms and lemonade (... causing a distinct feeling of licking Ghandi's shoes this morning :o) ...)

It was fairly cloudy and it made for some nice photo's. I decided to do a pano of the London skyline just for those who havent seen it before.









This Pano was taken from the Queen Mary
The clouds made for the most stunning sunset with the moon ... ok so I'm a hopeless romantic ... so sue me.

After the sunset ... the lights with the moon ... I need to really get a monopod ... especially when the hands get shaky ... after a long night out :o)

Well that's all for now.
