Thought I’d start a series of random images from my portfolio. Always welcome any comments. Caught these two guys gently ambling along a Mostar (Bosnia) street. I was touched by the younger guys obvious affection. What’s their story? Father and son? Good mates? A stranger helping an old man?

Our trip to Croatia started in Split and ended in Dubrovnik via a small sojourn in Mostar in Bosnia Herzegovina. What a place that is! Almost destroyed in the Balkans war through really no fault of their own. Caught between two enemies Bosnia became the theatre of war and somehow it has managed to raise…

One of the most intriguing delights of Croatia is their ability to make a café out of any small space. Got a couple of steps – sure why not? Small alley with only just enough space to walk down – no problem! It seemed that around every corner there was someone serving coffee to a…

Arguably the prettiest palace in Venice’s lagoon, Burano is known for its lace industry and the colourful houses that line the streets and canals. Legend has it that the fishermen in days gone by wanted to see their houses from afar as they returned after a hard day’s trawl. A walk along the streets will…

To the north of Venice proper away from the madding, seething, cruise ship throng found in San Marco there’s lies two islands, Murano and Burano. They are just two of over 40 islands in the Laguna Veneta that surrounds Venice. Of course both of these attract (and indeed, need) tourists but at least they have…

The famous balcony is just off Via Mazzini where users of iPhones, compacts and DSLR’s blaze away hoping for that one different shot. Didn’t like my effort, so you won’t see it here! What you will see here is the Madonna Verona (which actually dates from roman times) that sits on the fountain in the…

Part of the relativity new London overground travels from North London to Surrey Quays in East London. Actually some of the overground is underground – in fact under water through the oldest tunnel under a navigable river, the Thames Tunnel. From Surrey Quays station it’s a short walk to Greenfields pier. One of the frequent…

Near the famous tower bridge is Katherine dock, supposedly one of London’s best kept secrets. The Thames path, a 294 km walk that follows the Thames (obviously) from its source in the Cotswolds to Greenwich and almost the North Sea, tracks its way through the docks with even a stop to see the boats pass…

Once upon a time, brick lane was the home of, first, London’s Huguenot community then its Jewish community and now street signs in Bangladeshi make it obvious which community call this home. However wondering along brick lane and surrounds we spied a lot of street art. Brick lane is now also home to artists and…

A few months ago I went to Fotofreo. Fotofreo is an annual month long photography festival held in Fremantle, Western Australia. It’s a candy store for anyone who loves photography whether you’re involved in the industry or just love looking at great art. There are workshops and special events as well but the main course…

One of the more interesting developments in east central London is the resurgence of English food which, it has to be said, has, in the past, been notoriously bad! But here we discovered a couple of places doing quality traditional English food, the Albion and St John ’s. Kedgeree (look it up) shepherd’s pie and…

Strolling up and around commercial road in Shoreditch past pubs of old and Christ church Spitalfields, there are markets everywhere! Old and new Spitalfields, Petticoat lane, upmarket and further on Brick lane market. A hangover from the rag trade that used to be the main industry here many years ago. As you can there are…

This is the infamous gherkin in London. With its shape, the fact that it has the grave of a roman girl at its base and was built to replace the Baltic exchange building that was badly damaged by an IRA bomb; it is an unusual building on the outskirts of an unusual area of London.…
