fantastic site - and fabby rush hour shot!! I'm impressed that you sell your work - I've never had the nerve to get into that... your media city shot is particularly awesome!!

you're right - we arrived at the "blue hour" - best blue-hour shot I got was just of the bridge itself...

See, I was thinking that it must've been taken outside the Tower Bridge Thistle on St Katherine's Quay (North Bank). :?

Also whilst in London went to 'The Power of Making' at the V&A. Sooooo cool. Had AMAZING sugar sculptures, weird 3D printers, just all round cool stuff, and a BEAST of a gorilla 'made' of 'coathangers. I thought it actually was before I went, but is just made of normal wire made to look like coathangers, still really cool!

Aye, pretty sure that is on the north bank from looking at the picture.

Stayed in tonight, but tomorrow at Press night of Habeas Corpus by Alan Bennet at the Octagon.

Looking forward to that as ever.

And next Tuesday, at Royal Ex in Manchester, Dagmar Krause sings Brecht, Weill and Eisler, those wonderful German theatre songs of the 1920s-50s. Really looking forward to it - amongst my favourite music ever...

Give us a heads-up on that if you don't mind, Will. I'm half-and-half about Bennett but theater gang are enthusiastic.

Well none of you will actually be going anywhere because it said on the radio this morning that the world's due to come to an end today, so I'm going to make up some butties, grab a bottle of red and sit on the roof watching it happen. :|

I'd better go and eat that clotted cream then - it'd be a shame to waste it!
