Monthly Archives: April 2012 Order a print of this photo I’ve no idea what the Korean language on the poster says. Judging from the cross on the figures head I’m guessing it’s some sort of safety poster, which makes the shower of sparks somewhat ironic! It looks as though the figure is howling in pain from the shower of…  Uphole drilling in Libya. The drill here is a Mayhew 1000 mounted on a MOL 6×6 truck.

For most of 1985, this Land Rover was my ‘rifle’. It held 80 gallons gas in two tanks, 20 gallons of water and a survival kit with nutrient rich emergency rations. It also had a VHF radio….

This shot was taken many years ago – 1983 actually. It’s a scan of a slide. I took it from my college dorm window, looking west across the Exe Valley. 
As the professional I respect your critical eye but it is beautiful from my perspective.

This shop has all you could ever want and less, from Union Jacks to red phone boxes and plates painted with the face of the Queen or Bill Shakespeare and his houses.

Love the photo  The London Eye is a cantilevered wheel having support on only one side unlike other observation wheels in other cities. The wheel has 64 spoke cables that work like the spokes of bicycle wheel, holding the rim tight to the spindle in the middle of the wheel.
