London’s a winter wonderland

17 12 2008

The Christmas markets in Hyde Park are a fabulously almost-kitsch hybrid between temporary mini theme park and Anglecised Weihnachtsmarkt.

But having said that, the lights are lovely, and they make for a good photography subject. Here are some of the photos I took on the weekend:

Dubai – Vegas in the East

15 09 2008
We were in Dubai for a long weekend in early June with a view to potentially moving there … this was the view from the hotel bar’s patio; the lights are a bit more diffuse than normal, as we were there during a sand storm.
