If you see some pipe organs. Please. You have such a great feel for light and colours. These might be great
additions to our Organ Collection.
You are out there. You and your camera. You can shoot or not shoot as you please. Discover the world, Your world. Show it to us. Or we might never see it.

Thank you Frank,

The cathedral has an organ, when I saw it , after 24 hr of traveling I only had my mobile phone , at the time I went back with my camera access was not allowed as a service was been held, but had the chance to enjoy the sound of the organ and a chorus

Thanks for posting, Armando, it is always interesting to see one's own country through the eyes of a visitor.

I hope you can get to London and that we can meet up.

Anthony,
I'm definitively planning to go to London and do some shooting, I'm still trying to sort out if it will be this weekend or the next one.

Armando, I like the last river scenery which reminds me of some Vermeer.

Frank, if you are planning to go to heaven when the day comes, you'd better refrain from throwing darts to this particular targed.  (oh, I miss that wicked devil emoticon!)

King Arthur was no saint...

But I would not throw the dart out of an art historian conservationist motivation.

Winchester college, tour by an exalumni, free, instead of the advertised 7GBP / Person  :)

place looks like a scene from the harry potter's movies

Afterwards we had dinner at an old pub and tried Horndean Special Bitter for the first time

That would be advisable.  You wouldn't like to be discussed at the round table.

Akira, yes a pano of only 2 shots, so I stitched  it by hand , rather than doing it automatically which did a terrible job

old window


more from the old pub




No shooting today, while on my way to a shooting location I was quite happy about how the light was looking, the traffic suddenly stopped with my car still having a few meters to spare, but the car behind me ended smashing on my rear bumper, no injuries to anyone which was surprising considering we stopped from 70mph, just a bunch of glass and antifreeze on the pavement a smashed bonnet and a very upset driver, the police was very helpful, I drove my car to the hotel, stopped at the bar for a glass of whiskey and called the rental company.

Tomorrow will be another day
