Last time I was in Cambridge I took one picture, and it was of a crane. You can probably see it now, if you look closely. Consider the implications of it, and stop being depressed already.<br /><br />That was the view of the sky at the time, give or take.<br clear="all" />Guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01837364936167276271noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10342721.post-1147147296054338462006-05-09T04:59:00.000+01:002006-05-09T05:01:36.060+01:00Obscurer Oxford buildings<div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/slyguy/143216707/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/55/143216707_08f03e6f16_m.jpg" alt="" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /></a> <br /> <span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/slyguy/143216707/">Obscurer Oxford buildings</a> <br /> Originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/slyguy/">slyguy135</a>. </span></div><br clear="all" />Guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01837364936167276271noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10342721.post-1147146938253795662006-05-09T04:53:00.000+01:002006-05-09T04:58:53.106+01:00The new television<div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/slyguy/143213622/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/45/143213622_86f94d8964_m.jpg" alt="" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /></a> <br /> <span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/slyguy/143213622/">The new television</a> <br /> Originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/slyguy/">slyguy135</a>. </span></div>It still is remarkable, but that doesn't mean I have to remark.<br /><br />Hello chaps, by the by!<br clear="all" />Guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01837364936167276271noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10342721.post-1147146579292622442006-05-09T04:47:00.000+01:002006-05-09T04:49:39.303+01:00Pinyintastic<div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/slyguy/143210551/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/47/143210551_5aabbd83d8_m.jpg" alt="" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /></a> <br /> <span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/slyguy/143210551/">Pinyintastic</a> <br /> Originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/slyguy/">slyguy135</a>. </span></div><br clear="all" />Guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01837364936167276271noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10342721.post-1145928744741193842006-04-25T02:32:00.000+01:002006-04-25T17:50:31.413+01:00Just my room actually, pictorially<div style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 10px; MARGIN-LEFT: 10px"><a title="photo sharing" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/slyguy/134536207/"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: #000000 2px solid; BORDER-TOP: #000000 2px solid; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 2px solid" alt="" src="http://static.flickr.com/49/134536207_af306b94d2_m.jpg" /></a><br /><span style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px;font-size:0;" ><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/slyguy/134536207/">Just my room actually, pictorially</a><br />Originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/slyguy/">slyguy135</a>. </span></div><p>By the magic of Picasa and digital photography and relative human intelligence and much else besides, I present: very low-resolution, small pictures that could potentially make an impressive panorama of my room if only I was smart enough to know how!<br /><br />You're welcome.<br clear="all">Guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01837364936167276271noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10342721.post-1117097761004896162005-05-26T10:24:00.000+01:002005-05-26T10:23:41.443+01:00After wandering (and wondering) for many days in the wilderness, I ended up in Oxford. Knowing Philip Pullman was controlling my movements, I ignored the philosophical difficulties and moved irresistably to the Botanic(al) Gardens. Only some memories remain, which happily ended up on a Sony MemoryDisk [tm] in my possession in JPEG format. What luck! The incident turned me into a joyful, happy-go-lucky hippy, so I share these pictures with all of you. Fly, my pretties, fly!
