I went to west London, a part close by Heathrow, to visit a client. The tube station I used is close to the end of the runway so I used the little Ixus to take a number of shots. Here I've got a 747 on approach and then, somewhat closer than I expected, overhead. Still it shows some nice detail.
Taking shelter from one of the showers in Portsmouth I started taking pictures of various things. Not much else to do really. I had my little snappy camera with me so thought I'd take some pictures of ships, not something I get much chance to do in London. This picture is of one of the Isle of Wight ferries going past a jetty with some determined anglers on.
I was down in Portsmouth recently. The weather was fairly grim, with low grey clouds and frequent rain. I did see RFA Argus leave port. RFA Argus is a support vessel that can carry a few helicopters. She isn't a hospital ship but can receive casualties and has a CT scanner. She started life as an Italian cargo ship and was bought by the MoD during the Falklands War.
A maze has been installed in Trafalgar Square for a few days. I'm not sure of the connection between naval warfare and hedge mazes, but there you go. Dotted around the maze there are things about various places to visit in London. Seemed popular.
