At home on the range near King George's Resevoir - view from the Lee Navigation towpath - London Borough of Enfield. The white flecks in the background are sheep grazing on the resevoir bank (you can see the sheep more clearly viewing the large size image). That's me and my bicycle casting the shadow just below the horse.

Let's take the train!


No time to relax!

Took the train home to London from Edinburgh last Friday. The door-to-door (including taxis) journey time of five hours compared favourably to a similar route by plane, taking into account the travel time to and from the airports, minimum check-in times, time required for security, traffic and parking. Click on the photo to go to my Flickr site where you can follow my journey in the Edinburgh to London set (see sets to the right of the main photo).

The 19th century inventions in this frame - the train line overhead and the parked bicycles - already point to the way forward to less reliance on petroleum products.
