We visited the RAF Museum and Scampton earlier this week which is full of fascinating exhibits showing the history of the RAF.  It also shows warplanes of all sides in major conflicts and has some fascinating and moving 'social histories' about the major aspects of war. This is the Nimrod This is a Harrier The ubiquitous Douglas Dakota and the legendary Spitfire

In January we went to see the awe-inspiring Ansel Adams exhibition, the thought provoking William Klein Exhibition and the missable Moriyama exhibition.  This gave the opportunity for a few photos and you can see more on my flickr site: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kdphotos/ Here are some of Kings Cross, The Cutty Sark, The Shard, Southwark Cathedral and the Millennium Bridge:

We have recently joined the Leica Fellowship and the Society organises weekends away every six months. We meet a smashing group of people who are becoming our friends and see an interesting part of the country.  The last weekend was on Anglesey. These are in Beaumaris

One of our favourite places in the UK is Suffolk and the area around Southwold.  These are black and white film images of the ruins of Covehithe church near Wrentham.  The tower you can see through the window arches is part of the much smaller church that functions today.

The recent weather conditions have been very changeable and created some interesting opportunities to capture the changes, these two were taken within a few moments of each other.

The recent cold snap has made thousands of photographers don boots and gloves to venture forth into the 'wonderland'.  Here are a couple of my recent photos. You can see more of my Photostream at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kdphotos/
