Someone is having fun...

Saturday 9th April - Day 112

After yesterday's SP, I had a bad case of clock hair, and those chimes are LOUD!

Up early this morning and into Exeter, about 25 miles away, for some shopping that can't be done in Okehampton... and a chance to press my nose against camera store windows :) Only to find when we got there that a few of the places that I was expecting to find had moved as they are in the process of reconstructing the city centre. The usual thing, having pulled down a sixties monstrosity, the much older beauty behind is revealed. That is Exeter Catherdral in the background.

I'll be in San Diego for a week from next Saturday, attending the PhotoImaging and Design Expo with a pro photograper friend of mine, and having a short holiday as well. If there is anyone who wants to meet up, let me know by pmail and we'll see what we can arrange.

I'll be down there, too! My oldest daughter is getting married on Saturday, in nearby Carlsbad. If you haven't flown into the San Diego airport before you are in for a treat. Or maybe it is just a treat for me; I don't travel much, as you do.

I recognise this as some of my family live in Ottery St Mary. Hope you have a great time in San Diego - a wonderful part of the world.

I like the background. He looks a little grumpy to me though...which makes the image even more interesting.
Guest 10-Apr-2005 04:29
Great eye to see this :)

Great image Lee... perfect timing on the shutter and an awesome backdrop.

I love those clouds that hang over this beautiful building. I like the old look and how you captured this person who just happens to walk along very casually. Great shot.

Beautiful building and wonderful capture!

Oh dear, your gallery is full of red x's this morning Lee. Clicking on them works, but...
Stark contrasts between the bold & beautiful here.

I like this indifferent walking!

The sky and castle look like a fairytale in the background! I wish I weren't on the other end of the country.
