Frolicking along the Embankment

Well, as much as you're allowed to in the hustle and bustle of the business district, filled with corporate types and all. As I walked home a few weeks ago, I took my camera to capture some of the areas and landscape offered to me along my walk home from work. I won't lie, as I took out the Bridge, my fingers were freezing as there was quite a bit of chilly wind, not least a bunch of people trying to get to their station, and these were taken at a mad rush, mindful of the people around me and all, so they're not the greatest.

I do like this first one however. No idea what the building is, ha! Hotel? Who knows. 

This is not the greatest of pictures, but the skies looked magnificent above the River Thames.

Sage advice for the general public and tourist alike!

Another beautiful building behind gates, which is along the Embankment.

 There's a funny story to the following pictures. I was really intent on taking the second picture, a closeup of this really intriguing detail on the building, but when I zoomed out, I noticed something terrible coming towards me, as witnessed in my third picture!

Oops! Of course, that did not stop me from taking my picture, heh.

I need to walk up that pathway one day. I'm sure it will lead me to Fleet Street/Strand or something thereabouts.

I shall be back with a Politics related post me thinks and so I bid thee adieu!

LFC Protest et Shenanigans

A few months ago, my beloved football club were involved in a big legal wrangling with the previous owners. The hearing took place in London, not too far away from work. Yes, I was that sad as I trotted along to the High Court, to catch a glimpse of the now infamous Sir Broughton and co in action. Alas, I missed most of it due as I could only pop out during lunch time, but I do have these pictures to remember that soap-opera style legal battle.

I hope we never have to go through that again, as I spent HOURS poring through all related news throughout my working day, and the Guardian Live blogging around this was absolutely vital for all LFC fans at time. To them, I salute!

Happy New Year and Bangle Hoard

I believe I started this blog quite well, but I have slacked off in recent months. It's been very busy at work, despite recently purchasing a brilliant Canon450D (Rebel XSi). I am embarrassed to admit, I have not really been using it much, preferring to rely on the ever versatile (and much lighter) Panasonic Lumix FZ28. Though that too has been uninspiring and I have not been taking as many pictures in general.

To renew interest in all things photography, I have decided to take some pictures closer to home: My bangles to be specific. And hopefully I might make a project of showcasing my many hoards at home.

In their little boxes, as they do not fit in my bangle box, sigh!

And out of their ickle shells.

Pretty, aren't they?

There's more, but for now these should do, eh?
