Low Tide II

Well today has been re-tune freeview, The Sun switching support and reading about Google wave - looks interesting. I'll have to check the Aus v Pak cricket score later. With England losing yesterday looks like it could be Eng v Aus semi.

Yesterday I intended to post two pictures. Manged to only send one. Ah well. This one is the Millennium Bridge viewed from the Thames shoreline at low tide. Nicely different to the usual angle.

Low Tide

Reading the news, X-Factor band kicked out. One of them is too young. Replacements brought in. Didn't they do this last year? Labour make or break conference. Wasn't that last year as well? Maybe as I'm running backups of my laptop I've somehow found a backed up copy of the news.

Looking through the backed up pictures I found some from a walk along the southbank at low tide. Walking along the shore rather than the much higher embankments gives a different perspective. Here's a couple of pictures of the Millennium Bridge ,which is one of my favourite photographic subjects, from the lower angle afforded by low tide.

In the garden

Trying to escape the Gordon Brown on medication stories in the news as well as X-Factor and Strictly Come Dancing - unless they are a cricketer I never know who the slebs are - I did some repair work on the front of the house. Doing so I attracted a robin. So I went and got the camera. Put the 100mm macro lens on, its lighter and smaller than the 300mm which would be better suited.

Still I got this shot of the robin. OK its not going to win any prizes but its nice all the same. I've read that robins in the UK trust people more than robins do in Europe. Something to do with continentals viewing them as foodstuff but Brits not thinking of them as edible. Whether its true or not I don't know.
