London - 27 October 2005

I had a week off between jobs in late October. This was a particularly warm autumn day and I spent the afternoon walking through Hyde Park and along the Thames taking a few photos.

This one is of The Serpentine in Hyde Park.

Unfortunately, I am back working again now.....

Germany - September 2005

We spent 5 days in Germany in late September with Jeremy and Jackie starting in Berlin and ending in Munich for Oktoberfest visiting Leipzig and Heidelberg along the way. It was a great few days... lots of sightseeing, beer, rain, pork and driving.

This is Berlin taken from the Berlin Dome. Quite a beautiful city (like all the places we visited) and two days was definately not enough. Looking forward to heading back there sometime soon....

Moving tributes to East Berliners who were killed trying to cross into the west. It's very difficult to imagine what a different place this would've been only 15 years ago.

JS Bach worked and lived in Leipzig for over 25 years at St Thomas's church and composed many of his great works there.
