A BIG THANK YOU

for looking in again, wherever you are.

PLEASE READ ON!

Sadly there will be no more updates here. You will have noticed over the last couple of months my postings have become rarer, and there have been no snaps of 'real people', which are generally my personal favourites.
Ditto with my Cemeteries photoblog, which has sets of snaps from thirty two cemeteries/burial grounds on it.
Briefly: An old/ex friend helped me set up this photoblog, and she did all the tedious work of uploading them. Without her help none of this would have been possible at all. I am truly grateful for all the help & hard work she did for this.
Unfortunately just before Easter she decided to stop, without giving a reason, nor an explanation, and did not reply to my emails. And she has not been in contact since, despite me knowing her for,at least, twenty years. Sometimes, maybe, friends are not quite what you think they are...
Whilst I am saddened by this, it's not for me to reason why, for without her giving an explanation for her actions, I don't feel it was anything bad on my part.
It does mean that I cannot update this blog, as I do not own a home computer, and do not understand them well anyway. I have just published the last (large lot) of snaps I had in draft. Rather than drag this out by posting a few at a time I have decided to publish them all now.

I am still taking photos, another friend is saving my snaps onto disc for me, until I can upload them. When this will be I do not know. But I hope to obtain a computer of my own within a year or so. So I will be back in the not too distant future.

If you would like to be notified when I am back online with my snaps please email me a contact so I can let you know sometime in 2007 or 2008!
You can do so at dulwichrabbler@hotmail.com

In the meantime my wordblog will continue....if you know where to look! ;-)

Thank you all once again!

Love you all!!!

Out of your box

I can't remember what this art
installation was called, or who it was by, but
it was in the main turbine hall of the Tate
Modern, on the South Bank in London.
It's a huge space, and they have a rolling
programme of changing things. Not even sure
what's there at the moment, but I was only there
a week ago, so I can't have been that impressed.

All change!

Two quick snaps of the Old Showgrounds, in Prague, Czech
Republic. I was on a touristy vintage tram trip, & this is where
it turned around.

House of Horror

Where Sir Alfred Hitchcock lived in London, on
Cromwell Road.

On the gravy train

The OXO Tower, on the South Bank of the Thames.
At the top is a rather posh restaurant.

Sit down if you've got the hump

I'm sure there's a great tale behind these
benches along the Victoria Embankment, near
Westminster. But I'm far too lazy to find out..

The Swiss Centre

by Leicester Square, in the West End,
but no longer owned by the Swiss.
Recently sold I believe, & to be
redeveloped in the not too distant
future. The glockenspiel clock will
stay I think.

Jewish Prague

I took these way back in October 2005,
so can't remember which synagogues were
which, in the Jewish Quarter.



















This is the famous Jewish Cemetery, of which you can find
lots more snaps taken by me, by searching here.

Jewish sport:

Not too clear these, snapped through glass cases, on
display in one of the synagogues in Prague.

Just a remnant of rubbish...

No way to describe the Union Jack, but this tattered
bit was on the floor of a Protestant part of Belfast,
shame sectarianism can't really fade away that easily.

Our four legged friends

This memorial stands in the middle of Park
Lane, in central London, remembering all of
those who helped, and died, in past wars, but
had no say in it at all.

An arch through an arch

This is an actual Roman arch, in Cologne, Germany.

Not quite my London Pride

Give me a sculpture of two naked blokes anyday!
This is on the South Bank, outside the National
Theatre.

Meow!!

Samuel Johnsons cat, in Gough Square, in the City
of London, off of Fleet Street.

The dear old GPO...

as our post offices used to be called. This one was in
Devonshire Road, Forest Hill, SE23. The sorting office
now in an ugly industrial estate type warehouse less
than half a mile away. Progress I suppose...















Told you the new one was ugly!
