Lunch - Vietnamese style

Bun cha (noodles in a cold stock with meat patties and salad herbs) and nem (spring rolls)
About £1.50 - quite pricey for Hanoi.

The coast is always interesting; lots of different habitats to explore. A great place to stop and relax while travelling. This photo was taken on my cycling trip around the gulf of St. Lawrence (hence the wacky cycling sandal suntan marks...) 8th August 2006

Fern fronds

I like capturing patterns, textures and perpectives... I don't always succeed. I liked the pattern of the fronds of this fern on the Bohaker Trail in Nova Scotia. (06 June 2006)

Rivet

The frog in our pond today.

Yes, you can get internet here.

28 June 2006. Francois, Newfoundland, Canada.
You can barely get more remote than this in the modern world. This is the virtually the whole town as it shelters in the shadows of the surrounding mountains. The place is only accessible by fishing boat or ferry; there are no roads. Francois is hunkered down by the water and loses the sun behind the hills hours before sunset. The tenacity of life clinging on at the edge.
I visited as part of my cycle trip around the Gulf of St Lawrence

You're never really alone

On one of our many holidays to the Lake District in the north west of England. An inquisitive little lamb peering at us from behind the rocks as we stop for a rest. (31 May 2005)
