Sweden photos

Well now! I've just put up a bunch of photos from the holiday which Fleur and I took to Sweden a couple of weeks ago. The dude at the photo processors cut them a bit wacky, but I like it. Some of them are taken with an ActionSampler (takes four pictures per print with a delay between each), some with a Fisheye camera (the curvy ones) – both available from the amazing site Lomography.com.
As always, I'd appreciate any feedback! Hope you like them – check out the Gallery here for all pics. Here's a sample of some of my favourites.

The Narnia-esque landscape!

The Church behind our hotel.

A ride at the Stockholm fairground – abandoned for the winter!

Fleur and I, near our hotel.

Me jumping like a loon.

Hope you like them!

new pictures!

okay, i've finally (after almost two years) got around to uploading some of the photos from my phone. there are some more shots in the 'friends and family' and 'safari' galleries, and here are some of my favourite instances of urban grim…

The cultural centre that is Bangor

here's a couple of pictures from my delightful home town, that well-known maritime resort of good old bangor. the fact that this is one of the town's shopfronts may explain a lot about public perceptions of northern ireland.

hmm. now, a few years ago a statue was commissioned in bangor center. this statue was intended to encapsulate the true spirit of the town and its people. eagerly, we awaited the unveiling of this masterwork; only to find that it was, in fact, a statue of a man holding a pastie. i'm deadly serious.

such talk of pastry-related items leads me neatly on to…

The cultural centre that is the Midlands

no further comment necessary.
now, if you wish to experience true midlands culture, you really must come to canley, home to such luxurious boutiques as this:

to events such as this:

and to suggested cake toppings such as this, apparently an image of fred and rosemary west.

my god.

but what about BABY?

well now, well now, much news!
firstly, i've copied some CSS from natalie jazzed up my blog a little (sorry natalie, i totally ripped you off) which is quite exciting. hope it's still easy to navigate. gordon random, you mad old coot my sweet darling, your entries are tagged so that the blog will make a bit more sense – just tag them yourself when you write a new one.
secondly, here's my news! i've just returned from an awesome trip to dublin which encompassed the usual ratio of shopping and eating pizza to culture and being knocked over by mad people. i had a very cool time and was able to meet this rather nifty tiger-ish type:

also, however, i have fallen under the curse of sudoku, which is the current craze of my parents and, so it seems, THE ENTIRE WORLD. leaping onto the bandwagon a little too late is always painful, and my brain is only just starting to cope with this madness, as you can see:

warning: attempting sudoku puzzles may cause a small irish man to grow from the top of one's head

anyway, more news tomorrow!
