Snowboarder on the Piste
Just back from a snowboarding trip to Bansko, Bulgaria. Bit of a schlep to get there, a 3 hour flight followed by a 3 hour transfer, but well worth it if you’re going for a week.

Train Platform at Dusk
Took this photo from the Eurostar Train on the way to Paris last week. Had been snowing quite heavily and lots of services were cancelled but we managed to get there and back albeit with some delays.

Paraty House by Marcio Kogan
That’s it, I’m robbing Fred Goodwin and moving to Brazil, when I get there I’m going to buy this house and retire. Any tips on how to rob Fred Goodwin would be much appreciated.

Portavadie to Dunoon Cycle route
Holy shit, completed the cycle from Crinan/Lochgilphead to Glasgow last Friday in even worse weather conditions than the Fort William to Crinan cycle I did last week, there was non-stop heavy rain for almost the entire journey. Someone at Glasgow Central even asked if we’d been potholing which should give you some indication of the state we were in.
My computer packed up due to the rain, as did my rear light, so I’ve used the first two legs of the journey that I saved on MapMyRide and used Google Maps to calculate the third and final leg, in all I estimate the total cycle distance to be about 73 miles (117 km).

Road Sign - Hill: 1 In 8
Fuck me! What a fucking nightmare. I don’t think the conditions could have been much worse for the Fort William to Crinan/Lochgilphead cycle.
The total distance for the route we took was approximately 83 miles, which took around 6 hours despite some good early pace; climbs and weather slowed us up significantly during the second half of the journey.

Crinan Harbour
So, a freind and I are getting the sleeper train to Scotland on Friday night in order to cycle the 80 mile (130 km) journey from Fort Willam to Crinan on Saturday. I have to say, I am starting to shit myself.

Miss Ghana UK
This photo, Miss Ghana UK, is the first on my Flickr account to reach 1,000 views, a milestone achieved earlier this week. It’s way in the lead in terms of views, my next most popular is not even on 200 views. Took this last year in Ghana during the Africa Cup of Nations football tournament.
It’s not even a great photo but I guess photos of glamorous ladies are more interesting to most people than photos of walls, plants and buildings.

Probably my favourite picture from my recent trip to Donostia-San Sebastian. The beach there gets seriously packed, as I think this image demonstrates.
Cantonese Graffiti and Pipework with Green Paint, originally uploaded by Joe Damage.

This is a photo from my archive taken in Hong Kong. As well as this image I have several other photos with Cantonese text but I have no idea what any of them say. I also have this photo taken at the same time too on Flickr. If anyone can translate them I’d be really grateful, I can’t even be sure if it is grafitti or some kind of instruction that has been sprayed onto the wall. (more…)
