holiday snapshots

when i was a nipper, we used to holiday in torquay every year.

earlier this year i was sent to torquay on a shoot.

i was a little bit early so i went for a walk along the promenade, where i took this.

i guess it could be any seaside photo, but to me this sums up torquay.

of course, possibly the finest holiday destination in the world is...

wales.

i took this in god's own country a couple of years ago using an old film camera.

i love the welsh language, it's the language of heaven.

( i wonder if they make a welsh version of scrabble by the way ? )

on holiday in malaysia last year i took this photo

of a gang member who was terrorising the neighbourhood.

in thailand a couple of years ago ( before i started my boycott )

i noted a local speciality on the menu in starbucks

in fairness, it was pretty good.

also in thailand i did a bit of bird spotting...

this little fellow reminded me of when gymnasts do that thing on the 

floor with a long old piece of ribbon

i like that this bird seems to be looking at me through a gap in the leaves that is exactly

the same shape as his head.

he had a very nice voice by the way.

of course not all the birds in thailand have such sweet voices...

boom !
