Shelf Portrait




I've had to give up that Distance Learning course as I was having trouble seeing the teacher.
Every year around this time they turn on the Christmas Lights in Cottingham where we live. I go out and take some pictures. Some years I just leave the shutter open and wave the camera around a bit. This was one of these years.
They had some folks there selling flashing lights and stuff, which made for some great effects. Not sure if they are art or not. But I like them.
Flew back today from “The Best MVP Summit Ever”™. My flight was via Philadelphia, where they had a rather nice sunset (see above). I took the picture with my Lumia 1020 (actually I took 5 and then merged them together to get the rather pleasing result). I think I’ll print out a really large version of this.
Another surreal favourite moment, hearing Elton John’s “Philadelphia Freedom” being played through the public address system while I was there. Awesome.
