A terrific gallery, Bob. I really love the periscopes.

This is a view of the Pool of London from Rotherhithe, processed as

Not what I was expecting when you said infra-red but it works very well 
indeed.  Watched some of the enjoyable event on TV until overcome by the 
lurgy and went back to bed.  Pity, as it was probably the most 
interesting event of the weekend for me.

I wore my House of Windsor commemorative Y-fronts - they've given me
sterling service at every Royal occasion since the Investiture of the Prince
of Wales. They're a nice robust nylon with a print at the front showing a
flagpole with the heads of Her Royal Britannic Majesty and Phil the Greek at
the base. At the back is a nice image of Prince Charles on one side,
Carnavon Castle on the other, and a prize Welsh leek up the middle.

I made a vow in 1969 not to wash them until the day after Charles's
coronation.

I remember making periscopes like that in Cub Scouts nearly 30 years ago.  The 
cardboard is long gone but I still use the mirrors every day for shaving.

I did like the Union Jack trousers.  I am sure Bob had his on.

Cheers,
Dave

That's a stunning shot Bob. And the gallery's good too. Someone made a
killing on selling periscopes...

I met some friends in town today to try and watch the jubilee boats on the
river. Unfortunately the crowds got the better of us and we didn't see any
boats.

This is a view of the Pool of London from Rotherhithe, processed as
infra-red, which I don't normally like, but which seems to work here:


Here are some snaps of the crowds. Some of the friends of my friends were
dressed as pirates:

It's a sculpture by Damien Hirst standing outside Tate Modern, where he has
an exhibition at the moment. It is a giant-scale steel model of the sort of
thing you see in schools, colleges and doctors' surgeries to show people
where it hurts.

There was a demonstation by about a hundred members of a republican
organisation by Tower Bridge, some of their banners invoking the spirit of
1793 - which probably went straight over most people's heads. Of course they
should have been invoking the spirit of 1649 - we're not French, after all,
and we started the fashion for beheading kings. As I passed the demo some
idiot draped in the Union Jack hit out at one of the demonstrators.
Remarkably stupid, but fortunately the republican didn't respond.

The first image of the boats, the bridge and St Pauls in the
background is just superb!

The others are also very well done of course.  The funny little Union
Jack birthday hats are a hoot!  what's the story with the "visible
man" displaying his internal organs?  How does that fit in with the
Jubilee?

Of course, my hero is the brave soul with the "I am no one's subject" sign.

Bob:  that first boat picture is quite stunning.  The infra-red rendering 
worked beautifully.  I'd say you have a lovely frame for printing and framing. 

The snaps were fun as well.  Cheers, Christine
