Light A Candle, Say A Prayer

With the earthquake in New Zealand and then more recently in Japan and the devastation caused by the ensuing tsunami and nuclear power station problems, not to mention the virtual civil war in Libya and other civil struggles throughout north Africa, it really does make you sit back sometimes and see how well off we are.

A friend recently summed it up in one of their status updates on Facebook....."my god we are so lucky to live where we do. god bless all you who are going through tsunamis, earthquakes, civil war and starvation. and we worry about the fuel costs"

Mirror Me

Been taking a few more black and white photographs recently as I really like the strong contrast between highlights and shadows.

Have been thinking of some subjects for this monochrome photography but in the meantime, here is a self portrait of me taken in a mirror.

Light Installation

I went along to the last viewing of Bruce Munro's light installation at Salisbury Cathedral.

This installation, made from 16,000 recycled bottles featured in the Cathedral's Cloisters. Each water-tower of bottles changed colour to choral music - Very soothing :)

Not too bad considering they were all taken hand held.
