...sitting in a quiet corner checking his messages and having a smoke.
He was totally oblivious to me taking his picture.

Day 218...is a macro of...

a fly - possibly Mesembrina meridiana.

Taken with my 100mm 2.8L which is a lens I absolutely love.

Day 117 is an illuminated letter...

Isn't the work stunning. You can't imagine anybody being able to do it now.

It's always special when you see it.

We had great fun and I took lots and lots of pictures of people in their costumes.

...it started raining and a huge double rainbow appeared.
As soon as I found somewhere to stop I got out and took some pictures.
Even at 10mm the lens wasn't wide enough to get all of both rainbows in!!

Day 206...I was looking for abstract stripes...
