Had some 'fish-eye' fun at St Pancras last weekend! This close up of her shoe is my favourite... Shot details:  ISO400  2sec  F8 fish-eye2  This 30-foot bronze statue was designed by Paul Day and is entitled 'The Meeting Place'. Shot details:  ISO400  1sec  F8 fish-eye2 This is the statue of  poet John Betjeman by Martin Jennings. Betjeman had been the driving force behind efforts to save the site when it was threatened by development plans during the 1960's and the sculpture stands as a tribute from London and Continental Railways to the man who made their redevelop ment of the station possible.

The lovely weather we had today reminded me of an unforgettable trip. The commission:  to document a 3 day journey on board the Royal Scotsman.  Dare I say you haven't experienced the true beauty of the Scottish Highlands if you haven't done it with Orient Express.  We were absolutely mesmerized by the majestic scenery, exquisite food and attention to personal luxury service.  Not to mention the glamour of enjoying a candlelight dinner in a kilt (now there's a bit of a tricky situation!)  The bridge in the picture above is the one featured in Harry Potter...

We had the pleasure of discovering the delights of Kassiesbaai on a recent trip to Arniston in South Africa.  Kassiesbaai is a working fishing village where we found wonderfully warm smiles and generous people.  Lillian, one of the local residents, treated us to an evening of beautifully cooked freshly caught fish with a candle lit dinner in one of the original houses (like the one pictured above).  The village dates back approximately 200 years and has been declared a national monument.  It is located on the coast of the Indian Ocean in the town of Arniston, named after the Britsh troopship that was wrecked off the Agulhas reef in 1815, with the tragic loss of 372 lives.  Arniston is approximately 190km from Cape Town.
