Blackfriars National Rail station is being largely rebuilt and extended across the river for 2011; until then the Underground station is closed.  There is a lot of work going on above and below ground; this is one of the cranes involved. It’s a mess at the moment, but 12 carriage trains will make it worthwhile, [...]

Some of you may know that I’m a fan of Scott Kelby. He’s a great photo educator, both for photography and software. Anyway, last year he arranged a worldwide photo walk to celebrate the launch of his Digital Photography Book Volume 2. This year he organised a second one, co-incidentally at the time of the [...]
