Willow Creek, Colorado
On the Willowbrook Trail near Silverthorne, Colorado. Yet another long-exposure whitewater shot. But they're fun to do!

Stained Glass at Rochester Cathedral
Another shot from my recent trip. This is a remarkable cathedral because, due to various episodes of damage and rebuilding over the centuries, it incorporates several styles of architecture. And does it well.

Cheering Section
This is from the 2001 Boston Marathon. I thought this kid and his dad exemplified the kind of enthusiasm this event generates in Boston. (At least when the weather's fine!)

Vintage Palace
From 2001, a photo of the Palace Theatre in London. Probably shot on some flavour of Ektachrome 100. (From the looks of it I'm standing just outside the fictitious "circus" headquarters of MI6 in the TV series of "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy".)

Radcliffe Camera, Oxford
Yes, one of Oxford's most famous buildings. I tried to do something a little atypical for this icon by getting in really close and using a short telephoto lens. The early evening light helped, too.

I'm going to London soon and found a list on The Londonist of their top 100 pubs. Many will disagree with some, but it's surely a better bet than TripAdvisor, if a bit awkward to use on the go. So I put it in a spreadsheet, sorted it 3 ways and put it on the web.
