Line of Surfers
Malibu, 4 June 2004
After two days back home out again to return to LA. It was the first time since I left it behind a year ago.... Before I returned I was wondering how I would feel about it...

In front of the Hilton....
Lined up and surfing gently along the wave... After a meeting with Chris at Universal in Santa Monica, I headed up to Malibu...

One thing I missed about LA.... This place...
A guy with the longest lens I have ever seen. Make your own Freudian connection. It's the Canon 600mm/F4 IS coupled to an EOS1V. Wow! I spoke to him a bit later. Nice guy. There was also another with the 300mm/F2.8 with a double extender. Nice combo, too...

Visit from Dani
Edinburgh, 9 June 2004
This thing was massive! Its core was as big as a dinner plate. I should have put something next to it to point out the difference.
With the Hills in the background. Nice to wake up here instead of Oakwood...
Was nice to see another one of my old favourites again...
When I came back from NYC, I felt pretty alone for a few days, so Dani came by for a great visit and we duelled with cameras...

Maybe I have been in Japan too many times

Dani taking a photo of me. Then she sees the seagull and shoots....
But this reminds me of the way most waitresses take your orders... Dani won't take orders, of course....
During the sunset, catching an airplane...

Sometimes I have to steal some of her photos for this webpage...

Lindisfarne Castle at Holy Island
Holy Island, 14 June 2004

Canon Posterman....
We watched France beat England. The entire pub was in Ecstasy. The Scots support two teams: Scotland and whoever plays England....
Just 80 miles southeast of Edinburgh is the English border - close to it is Holy Island. The passage road to Holy Island is underwater during the tide....

Mossy Trunk
Holy Island, 14 June 2004
Dani's hair was blown around by the wind like a hairdryer, so I took a piece of string that I found on the ground and tied her hair together. She wondered how it looked, so I shot this pic and showed it to her...
No idea why this shadow looked like this...
And a gorgeous day it was...

No idea....
Holy Island, 14 June 2004
For tying boats...
In my sunnies...
The water looks inviting, but still is freezing cold...
What these spires or monoliths are for....

Horse that we ran across... I like the cross on the island out in the sea...
English patriotism very much alive at the Scottish border...
Sandy beach at St. Andrews. Kind of reminds me of White Sands at Alamagordo. And very much of this picture

Kanji Letters

Adds more drama...
Dani loved St.Andrews beach until she saw hundreds of Bluefire's relaxing and trying to get a tan lying around until the tide comes back...
The cathedral towers very visible...
The girl on the left looks like a Japanese Kanji Character... The other guy was walking the dog, as if he didn't appreciate it and was ready to play soccer with it...

With St.Andrews in the background...
Next stop - Portland Oregon... This was handheld with an IS lens...
Like the lights...
Whenever I looked outside of the window, I would see this rainbow ring... Here you see the shadow of our plane on the clouds below surrounded by it...

Oli was at St.Andrews at a University reunion. We met him at the Golf place there, wandered around the beach....
St.Andrews has 'The Ladies Putting Green', a practise area that is essentially a 18 hole mini-course. Was fantastic! Lots of practise, while we had lots of fun....
At Stac Polly....
