Every once in a while, random events in life throw you some real gems, and you end up meeting some crazy people, which makes for the best nights. This photo is pulled from one such random event and follows my Lyon and soon to be follow up post.
Life is beautifully typified in the connections that people make, the friendships that bond over time. This picture for me exquisitely captures both friendship and human expression.

Downing a glass of Cognac will make pull a face like that every time. See a full …

Returning from southern France has given me a whole new set of pictures for this section of the blog, so now it’s time for me to catch up.
This photo is called ‘the leap’, named simply as a description of what is happening. Slightly annoyed that it came out so dark, and a little annoyed that I wasn’t taking it in a burst mode, as to get the jumper (Raph) right over the body he was trying to clear. Love watching people do silly things like this and enjoy it even …

Taken in South Korea’s Jeju island this picture sums up the entire holiday, both exquisite and exiting.

This image is taken right where the Palast der Republik stood, soon to be …

A new week and a new picture, exciting times for us all. There are a few going up this week while I catch up but it’s all good. This was taken in a friends flat (who wrote this post) in Bristol on a warmer day than it is today. That’s me on the right if you care, or can’t be bothered to use google. No more to say on this other than surfing that weekend was awesome fun, despite being blinded by the rain.

A new year and all that jazz has given me the idea each week posting a picture that I have taken and telling a short storey around it. Anyway, it is imaginatively called Picture of the Week or potw. überBusy looks set to get a little more Busy.
As many of won’t know I have a flickr page with some of the pics I am most fond of but since they hardly ever feature on here, well you know.
Anyway could not post this without posting a picture right, so …
