Las Vegas: Daylight Hours

Unfortunately you can't take your camera where you'd really like, so here are a few mostly family friendly photos from my last few days in Las Vegas.

Las Vegas: Don't forget about the desert

You fly or drive into Vegas and marvel at the desert, but once you've landed, it's forgotten. Except for those moments when you catch mountains peeking in from down a long boulevard or, if you're lucky, seeing it wrap a ring around the city from a high window.

Sheltering from the Rain at St Martin-in-the-Fields

We got caught in the rain during an afternoon out in central London.

Around & About St. David's

This was my second trip to St. David's at the Western tip of Pembrokeshire in Wales. The cliffs, moody skies and beaches make for some dramatic landscape.

Southwold, Suffolk. New Years Eve

This one goes back a few months. Southwold around new years was great. The weather was harsh and brooding at night. Very cold. During the day the sun would break through and heat up the sand and marshes just enough to walk off a hangover.

London Underground: Embankment

There's something about tube stations. I can't help trying to get some sneaky shots done.

Rooftops, Richmond, UK

I haven't done too much nighttime photography yet, but I'm starting to like it. In a city like London the sky never gets completely dark, and the lights from shops and homes throw interesting spotlights and shadows across things. These were all taken around 10 pm.

Richmond, UK model village

I've just spent some time up on the roof doing some night shots of my neighbourhood in Richmond, UK. I like this photo because the long exposure makes the town look like a model. The sky reminds me of the painted indoor sky at the Venetian hotel in Las Vegas.

Brisbane Days: Skies over Sydney

This was taken back in 2004 when I lived in Brisbane for a year. Taken on a flight from Brisbane to Sydney shortly before we started our descent.

Collioure, South West France

Please go to Collioure, because nothing I write here will do it justice. The Notre-Dame-des-Anges church anchors your line of site wherever you find yourself in this quaint corner of the Languedoc-Roussillon.
