Beware- Low Flying Bikes in the Park
I shot this while down in the park yesterday:
There is a sort of Nissan sponsored mountain bike jumping and acrobatics event on. It’s on today too, if you are interested and if you read this in time.
It was well worth a look, especially if you like watch nutty people do spectacular things, as I do.
Here’s another one of my action photo efforts:
Here’s another shot:
If you’d like to see more, then you can by looking at my hot new action set on Flickr.
It was fun doing these, and they came out quite well too.
Do you remember Christmas?
A couple of long exposure shots (20 seconds) taken inside the chique Van Gogh bar near Parco Sempione in Milan around Christmas last year. I’d forgotten about these, but I quite like them.
The red cast is down to the red lighting in the place, but the feel is quite good I think:
And the other shot:
It is March, isn’t it?
Well, the calendars say it is March. I have not had my birthday yet, and it’s in March, so, I must conclude that it is indeed March. Why then did today feel like a day in late May here in very sunny and very warm Milan? No idea, but it was very welcome.
Winter, such as it was, appears to be on its way out, and, after today, it’s almost as if we are going to fast forward through spring and head straight for summer. I even saw a couple of Brits out in shorts, which is not something you see too often back in the UK in the same month. Indeed, my jeans felt as hot and sweaty as they usually start to do in late May, and as soon as that happens, it’s out with the linen trousers and the shorts.
And nope, today was not really a one off mini-heat wave, it has been getting steadily warmer here since about mid-February.
We even had a little mini-picnic down in the park and the whole world and his father were also down there sunning themselves.
I’m still not convinced, though. I mean, is it really March??
