I want to see mountains again. Mountains, Gandalf!

On the road to the Himalayas the mountains beckon...

On top of Mount Nyiragongo in the Democratic Republic of Congo. This lava lake is a whopper - the largest in the world at up to 700 meters in width. Watching it bubbling away was quite a sight. Even better with a bottle of single malt, homemade chilli, and a good friend! #photography #volcano

At a lunch spot in Costa Rica and just before I took this photo a hummingbird flew through the window. I moved to pick it up to help it escape, fully expecting the bird to fly away instantly. Surprisingly it allowed me to pick it up. Then it posed for me. Good hummingbird! #photography

On the streets of Havana, Cuba, it's a good idea to shade yourself from the sunshine. #photography

I was sent to photograph the band (The Futureheads) but I was more interested in this beautiful London venue, the Union Chapel. A 19th Century gothic church, it hosts c.250 live events per year and operates as a drop in centre for the homeless of Islington. #photography

The village of Ghandruk in Nepal, under the shadow of one of the Himalaya's giants: Annapurna. At 8,091 metres it is the world's 10th highest peak. Ghandruk has an elevation of 2,012 metres. #photography

Bit of Radiohead. Taken at the BBC's Radio Theatre. Was very lucky/happy to photograph this little concert with such an amazing band. #photography

Apparently the dot above an i or a j is called a tittle.
You could say, "Hold on, I've just got to titillate this sentence". Sadly, the origin of titillate has nothing to do with the little tittle. But I'm ignoring that. People write less by hand now, so titillating is past its heyday.

One from the photo pit. Here's Lenny Kravitz at the London Brixton Academy. I like to generally totally freeze my photographs at concerts as movement comes through via the nature of the performances. But in this one everything looks strangely still.

And since I didn't know it might be a good idea to tag #photography into that last post, let me post another. This one's the full version of the current header picture on my profile, from Chobe Botswana. Got lucky with this one but only had a second to take it and luckily got the focussing right.

I'll start off my life here with a photograph I took in the rainforest of Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo.
