A fito-portrait of the seagull in the above 2 images. I snapped him just as he left the lamptop and took to the skies:


This is a really old street, quaint enough to be used in the Hari Pot-head movies:

Another scene I photographed to generate an art print version. Haven't done it yet, but I will:




Some of our purchases:




Went to the Norwich Imax in the evening to watch Disclosure.
