Shadowplays

Me and another million people....went to see Notting Hill Carnival. From all the pictures I took I actually liked the shadowplays the most.


This was a bunch of three girls watching the carnival from the other side of the road. Sun was amazing in the afternoon, creating wonderful shadows.


Went there with a colleague and friend of mine, she is Chinese, and we then went to have some authentic Chinese dinner in her favourite restaurant....really nice food...


Anyway, here are at least some of the pictures I took of the Carnival people


I liked the two younger girls, they were very enthusiastic about the dancing...

A visit to Blenheim Palace

Went to see Blenheim Palace just the other day, about an hour drive from London...


Some pretty impressive stuff, but one would wonder if some of these signs are really really necessary...


Anyway, I thought it was a pretty overwhelming set up, and a nice front porch for having friends over...


...but then again I found that sometimes the most beautiful things in life might actually be smaller than the obvious ones
