Let it snow!

Would you believe it? More snow! Where's it all coming from? Just in case you need proof, I've provided some photos. There's also some pics of my recent visit to Chedworth Roman villa. A small but exquisite section of the mosaic found at the villa. Some of the remaining walls, still in surprisingly good condition. Footprints in the snow (sorry this is not rotated!) My rather inappropriate choice of footwear.

Duck race photos

Yet more photos from me. These are some I took at the annual duck race. For the uninitiated, a duck race works as follows:

1. Take a load of rubber ducks.
2. Bet on which duck will win.
3. Chuck the ducks in a river.
4. Note which ones reach the finish first.
5. Fish them all out again.
6. Award prizes.
7. Go home.

But I digress. On with the pictures! A big pile of ducks. Top of the heap. The stragglers.

Pics pics pics!

Here's the latest dose of photos from the JakeC album. I haven't got time to include info at the moment, so please be patient.

The Dreaded Pictures

Are you in the mood for pictures? I certainly am. I've included some photo data on these ones as well in case anyone's interested in that sort of thing. Enjoy!

A typical Portuguese seafront Taken: 11:55 2008-01-09 Focal length: 9.6000004 Exposure time: 0.00125

A beach board walk Taken: 2008-01-09 Focal length: 15.8 Exposure time: 0.0020000001

A birdwatcher's paradise Taken: 14:27 2008-01-09 Focal length: 51.799999 Exposure time: 0.00125

My sister by the pool Taken: 2008-01-06 Focal length: 13.1 Exposure time: 0.0040000002

No, I do not know how the camera has managed to measure these statistics to sub-atomic accuracy. Nor do I have any idea what units it has so precisely measured them with. At a wild stab, the focal length is in millimetres and the exposure time in seconds. If anyone knows the real answer, I would be intrigued to find out. Although to be honest, I just like taking pictures.

More pictures

Here's some more photos for your consumption. These are from a family trip to London: The London Eye A boat, as seen from the Eye A squirrel A small bird on the Eye The pictures are much better quality now, because they were taken with my new camera. I'm very pleased with them, and I hope you like them too.

Some photos

I think it's time we had some pictures here. These are some that I took on a visit to my grandparents. A lone cow. The local poplar plantation (one of many). A lone sheep. I would make these pictures bigger, but Blogger doesn't like me uploading them any larger than 'small'. It's probably for the best, as the camera used for these shots is getting fairly old (for a camera). Anyway, enjoy!
