Le Maillot Jeune
What an extraordinarily wonderful day. Bradley Wiggins wins the Tour de France in Paris. The first Briton ever to do so in 109 years of the race and 99 editions of it. Chris Froome, another Brit comes second. Mark Cavendish makes it three out of three on the Champs Elysees. I just had to be…

Random Notes
A few entirely unrelated things worth noting: 1. Nexus 7 Tablet Google’s announced its new tablet, and I’ll let others tell you how good or otherwise it is. What I find quite staggering is Google’s UK pricing. In the US, the 8GB entry level model is $199. When you hear numbers like that normally, you…

Smithfield Nocturne
A great fun evening yesterday watching criterium cycle racing around Smithfield Market. Lots more to process and upload, but his was my favourite.

A Fruitless Early Morning
The alarm was set for 4.00am. I’d bought some Baader solar paper. I’d made a solar filter for my camera, essentially following these instructions. I was already for the last Transit of Venus that’ll be visible from Earth until 2117, and therefore, my lifetime. Sadly, I hadn’t counted on the wonderful British summer. Actually, that’s…

The Photographers’ Gallery

Margate

North Norfolk
I’ve been working through a backlog of photos that I hadn’t processed recently. I thought I’d cross post a few more from Flickr. More of this set can be seen here.

King’s Cross Station
I was expecting the new concourse at King’s Cross station to be open tomorrow. That’s when we’d been told it’d open. But sneakily, they actually opened it today. So although I hadn’t planned to, I had a bit of a look around. Now I’m no expert on architecture, and you’d best look elsewhere if you…

Olympic Stadium and Velodrome
At the weekend, I was lucky enough to get along to a day of the UCI Track World Cup series in the new Olympic Velodrome as part of the London Prepares series. Lots of photos to come. But in the meantime, the buildings looked stunning – the velodrome in particular.
