Enjoying the view from the top


Attics and restaurants on the top of buildings - like this one in the National Portrait Gallery - do tend to convey this feeling of being on top of it. Good.

May holiday


May. It's cold again, and windy enough to make Jasper jump. Looks like he's sitting on thin air. The wind kept the clouds floating fast enough to hold on to the rain. The White Horse is well protected by suitable guidelines:


Obligingly, we walked around it, had an ice cream, and after lots of searching found a nice dry warm place from which to look out:

2010
















Twenty ten or two thousand and ten, whatever. I don't really mind. Haven't found a way to consolidate pictures, thoughts, and the likes on the web yet. Want to do more with my pictures, but still haven't put much effort into my flickr account. Twitter is not my thing at all. Short bits of wisdom or everyday's ongoings don't seem to work for me, the same accounts for Facebook.
