Cambridge on Christmas Day

A lovely stroll on Christmas morning shows that Cambridge has had its fair share of rain.  The river is high and all the sluices are open in an attempt to stop any wider flooding.  Merry Christmas to all.

LODESTAR 2012

What a fantastic event the team put on at Lodestar and I was privileged to have access to the stage area to get those special shots.  Saturday was a busy day with 10 sets, ending with Sir Bob Geldof.  Sunday included 8 sets with mainly female artists.  A fantastic 2 days. See Lodestar 2012 for more images.

Cambridge Bikes

Continuing the theme from London, it was a nice day so I popped into Cambridge for a walk and a few more bikes.

And some enjoyment on the river Cam - not punts this time.

Another fine day out with David and Michael visiting exhibitions and a bit of street photography. I decided to have a go at panning shots of passing cyclists - some workes, some didn't and a load more got deleted!

The Olympic Torch

It's a tough job but somebody has to do it:

Had the opportunity to hold the torch today - what a treat.  Time to get into training before it's too late!
