Wales, again

I've posted Wales pictures here in the past. There are some places I've liked a lot, that even made me wonder if I could move there in the future. I'm always asking the same question myself. These pictures are from a recent road trip I did with a group of friends, a few weeks ago. One of them wanted to visit…...

Leeds snapshots

Following this series of snapshots posts, here are some pictures of Leeds. It is another of the northern UK cities I am recently interested in. I've been a few times already and I really enjoy it. I don't know much about surrounding neighbourhoods, but the city centre feels more alive than Sheffield's (this from my very limited experience of being there a few times)....

Canary Wharf snapshots

Some pictures I took some years ago in Canary Wharf, London. I think there was a winter lights show on, if I recall correctly. The most surprising view was a couple of swans wandering around the water ways that surround the place. I think there is also winter swimming event, something I would not ever think about participating in. This place feels soulless to me, with all those metal and glass buildings. But I think it makes for a cool place for photography, more so if your are into architectural sort of pictures.

From up north, to some pictures I took in the south. I liked the Isle of Wight. It feels somewhat isolated from the mainland (is there mainland in UK?).

Happy new year and happy birthday to me! From up north, to some pictures I took in the south. I liked the Isle of Wight. It feels somewhat isolated from the mainland (is there mainland in UK?).

A couple of pictures a I took some years ago in London. Notice that some construction cranes are still there, in buildings that now are complete. The second picture will be at an exhibition soon.

Somehow, I miss London.

Sheffield snapshots

As I mentioned some time ago, something is dragging me towards the north. My daughter is starting university in Leeds, and in the past year or so I've been exploring cities up north. One I really like is Sheffield. I've spent some days there and the first thing I noticed is how hilly the city is. Using a bike, like I do here in Cambridge, is impossible, unless I get an electric one for myself....
