Yeah...I have no idea either.

That old Rover has been there for years. Then a while ago, some canes appeared tied to it. Perhaps the neighbours have complained about having to look at it...

A mate parked his MGB GT in his father's front garden.

Eventually sold it. Even with the tree growing through it. New owner restored it!

Earlier this year I a) bought a Nikon D600 DSLR and b) had it converted to solely B/W infrared.

These are some of my first efforts at getting to grips with it. All taken in France earlier this month.

Øresund, with Malmö on the horizon, from Copenhagen. That bridge goes from Denmark to Sweden (and vice versa :D ).
