Favourite Places in Winter and Summer


Stocks and Harvestgate in winter sunshine



Harvestgate Farm at harvest time. This is one of my first digital photos taken in 1998; the 100 acre field above Harvestgate.

Trying hard to find the perfect image of a perfect autumn - but haven't found it yet!

Leave It Alone!

"In everything the wise man does not seek greater precision than the subject allows." - Aristotle

"A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone" - Thoreau

Old Age

"I advise you to go on living solely to enrage those who are paying your annuities. It is the only pleasure I have left."

Voltaire

‘God grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway; the good fortune to run into the ones I do - and the eyesight to tell the difference’

Kei's Painting


Kei's painting of James - 'Recreation and Dream'.
Glad that her talent hasn't succumbed to her legal studies...

China



This is the French-designed National Theatre in Beijing juxtaposed against the Great Hall of the People. Locals call it 'The Omlette'...






This is a new open-sided mall in Beijing called The Place. The 'roof' is made from the largest LCD screens in the world and is 250 yards long by 30 yards wide. Above you float blue wales and red planets to an awe-inspiring score. Take a seat in one of the cafes lining the mall and be astonished!
