London Marathon 2010 final word
For those that has been following what I have been posting on Flickr, Twitter, Facebook knows that I have been going on and on about London Marathon. I was absolutely mesmerized by the about of people, the runners and the good causes. I thought to sort cap off all the tweets, buzzes and photos I would do a sort of best bits

Narrow Boat going through Canal Lock
As cool as it seems to travel the canals in a narrow boat, going trough the locks would drive me nuts. It just seems to take forever. If it was me, I am sure I would try to open the lock way to soon and break the mechanism somehow.
Signs of spring
It's been a cold winter and I thought it was still holding it's cold hand over this country. This weekend I took a trip to Hampton Court Palace, South West London, and it changed my mind
Spring is here
More photos from Hampton Court can be found here
St Patrick's day parade
Sunday I was out with a few friends from London Flickr meetups and camera to photograph St Patrick's day parade in London. Were there in good time to get the best spot. It was a sunny, great light for photography, day. It seemed to me that there were less people there to watch the parade and it was shorter then what I can remember from the past. Some said that it was because it was on the same day as Mothers day. It did not matter, just meant that it was easier to get close to the action. You can see a collection of the photos I took here
London by Video
To get a feel for what a place is like I often look at photos, photos friends have taken, photos I can find on the web and so on. When I eventually get there what I find doesn't always resemble the photos I saw. Proportions and colours are all wrong. Of course I take my own pictures, and when I look at them I get the same feeling. So what is the solution to this conundrum you might ask.. The solution is not to stop editing your photos as some may say. For me the solutions is Video, so I can really see (and hear) what the place is like. I have therefore begun to film around London. Have started with the most common places like Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and London Eye. Many more to come.
Anything you would like to see in London? Let me know and I'll do my best to get it on film

Speakers Corner
Last Sunday I walked around in Hyde Park in London with a group of people. At the end of the walk we ended up at Speakers Corner. On that Sunday it seemed the post popular topic was religion, except the guy from the Communist Party who was talking about control of oil and electricity. Not just the speaker shared their opinion but also people in the crowd. There where loud discussions everywhere, but everyone where smiling and respecting one another.
