Major traffic in Chipping Camden, Cotswolds, England

A busy day for traffic in Chipping Camden!
A typical village in the Cotswolds, notice the standard stone used for the buildings.
Most villages in this area seem to use the same stone

Mosque at Lakemba NSW Australia

Lakemba Mosque. Very beautiful and a pleasure to visit it.
Photgraph taken with a wide angle lens so there is a bit of fish eye bend to the pillars.

Versailles Palace, France

Huge crowds fro a weekday but what a place!. What I like is they do not restrict photgraphy inside the building whereas elsewhere in the UK and germany they do.
I do not think there will ever be a place like this again

BlenHeim Palace


BlenHeim Palace. Birth place of Winston Churchill

Another Eiffel Tower from a different view

A nicer view I think!. Still a fantastic building since it was built in the late 1800's and was not expected to last more than 20 years.

Eiffel Tower, Paris

The Eiffel Tower is magnificent. The queues to go up are not though, they are just to big to bother with. I believe there is a time of day when they are not so long but decided to make use of the time better and do a cruise on the Seine.

Houses of parliament

Recent trip to the UK. Far to busy with people crammed every where on the river Thames bridge. It was difficult to take the required photograph with so many people around and this was a weekday in Autumn!. It is a shame one cannot visiti inside the houses but I guess security is an issue these days.
