Day 204 - Saturday 20 November 2010

No Step. An emotional day today, my last day at home before leaving for a 6 month stint working abroad. Didn't have time to take a picture so here is a detail shot of the wing of the aircraft I flew out on Sunday morning...

Day 203 - Friday 19 November 2010

Brum. It had to be done! When in Birmingham, risk a confrontation with over zelous security guards to take a picture of the Selfridges building :D Taken during a rare view of blue sky on a day that has been mostly foggy...

...Orange SPV-E650 mobile phone. Exposure unknown

Day 202 - Thursday 18 November 2010

Low Light. A picture taken for the PhotoPortal forum monthly competition. The theme is 'Low Light' so rather than submit one taken in low light I thought I'd run with a play on words...
