It only takes a minute
A day out in Amsterdam sounds exciting but this was for work and I spent most of the day in meetings. We were based at the Amsterdam Medical Centre and then we moved into the city centre where the University central administration resides. During the taxi ride the sites of Amsterdam revealed itself out of the window. It … Continue reading Blog
Centenary Square
Centenary square has a new water feature and it is a very large reflecting pool. It offers photographers the chance to take some beautiful pictures. Whilst it has been opened there is still work taking place on the square and it will be even more spectacular when it is completed. If you search Instagram there … Continue reading Blog

You can spend many an hour just watching the harbour float planes taking off and landing in front of the conference centre. The marina has beautiful … Continue reading Blog
Photographing Vancouver – Playing Tourist
Vancouver is a beautiful location for a conference, and it was my third visit to the city, previously visiting in 1999 and 2009. Therefore, as the year was 2019, I was due my usual visit 🙂 We had some down time prior to the start and my post doc, Marco and I wandered around Canada Place before … Continue reading Blog
Black and White
This has been a week of rain and the days have been dull. Even though it is wet there are still great opportunities to go out and take photographs.. My early Wednesday walk from Snow Hill took in the canals that run underneath Snow Hill. The arches under Snow Hill are a favourite haunt of … Continue reading Blog
