An alternative view of the Statue of Liberty taken on my recent visit to NYC. This photo illustrates the gentle side of the so called concrete jungle that is NYC.

This picture was take just moments (and I do mean moments) before Rosa Lee proposed to me.

Rosa Lee’s ring came in today — we’ll go pick it up as soon as she is back. Mine is still being resized but should get that in the mail directly. In the meantime, I had been wearing the ring that I gave Rosa Lee on our first anniversary as a couple (it looks just like my engagement ring), however, it gave me some sort of flesh wound that got infected so I have to take it off. That’ll teach me for trying to steal her ring.

I guess I have to wait for my own to come in.

Walking around Greenwich Village in NYC last week, I spotted this white bike across the road. Despite being a city of vast proportions both in terms of space, people and backgrounds, what struck me was the sense of community it had. The unique tribute to this man symbolised that for me.

Recently went on holiday to have a look round the old World War One memorials and was amazed at the sheer scale of just the British Casualties buried in the Tyne Cot Cemetary. Also had a stroll round some preserved trenches in the Hill 62 area which was interesting but very grim. One of the few moments in my life when I felt genuinelly moved. Got some shots of a ridiculous amount of names of those missing/presumed dead on the Menin Gates at Ypres also. I almost felt guilty for not providing a significant contribution for Queen and country. And even if there was another World War god forbid, I would be far too frightened to go and fight.

My father at the Menin Gates with 65,000 names of dead, missing or presumed dead.

And a cross tribute which a lad of about 7 happily placed down, though his father was clearly upset and overwhelmed by the place itself.

A few pictures - Just a countryside wood about an hour away from ours.

So a whale washed up and died on a beach near my house. It took me 2 or three days to go down and check it out. Seems I missed the whale; or most of it anyway.

Here's a topical picture to coincide with the forthcoming football season. The 'gaffer' looks to have had enough already.


A sneak peak at part of the background set of Coronation Street and how they manage to extend the fictional street beyond the closed set, I think a small section of this regularly appears through that bridge near the bus stop.


A Coronation Street Milk Float. On closer inspection the bottles are not full of milk, but dried paint lining the insides, I have absolutely no idea who the severed foot belongs to.

After not being able to get a taxi to the next local before town, I convinced my mates it was a good idea to walk the countryside way (takes about an hour and half and they weren't impressed).

The Carters Old No.7 picture is just a picture with my feet up at the table. This boozer is my favourite in town. The first I ever went in and the only one that plays decent music from Happy Mondays to the Beatles.

On Saturday night (02/08/08) before going out we decided to attempt to make an album cover style photo in the garden. This was the best we could come up with. The band has since been named Barry Charlatan and the tools.

Here are some pics of me climbing Mt Whitney, 14,000+ ft. It took seven hours to get up there and camped at 12,000 ft. Got up at 5am and summited and came back that same day. The main worry was altitude-sickness, bears and summit lightening. Thankfully the weather was great at the top. This was done last August and there was still snow and a large Glacier. Mt Whitney is part of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in California about a four-hour drive north of Los Angles. Its total height is 14,505 ft. The climb starts at roughly 8,000 ft and then its vertical climb up. The trail is clearly marked out, so although it’s the highest mountain in the continental US it’s far from technical. It took us six months of training to get there but it was worth it.

Just came back to Stockholm after spending a week in small town called Öje in the Northwest of Sweden (near the Norweigan border). Nothing but forests for miles and miles. The family owns a cabin up there. Bears and wolves just a mile away. My dog Freja went crazy one night and started barking like crazy. Next day, some "local" called and told us that a bear had crossed the small village during the night.
