What a fabulous building and there are 3 of these monsters. Situated in the massively developing Southbank site, such a lovely area but it is slowly turning into a metropolis. Each structure contains luxury apartments worth between 1.5 and 6 million pounds. 

We were invited to the penthouse suite (not sure how much this one was worth!) on the 22nd floor for a blueprint magazine 30th birthday bash. Filling this very minimalist and modern dwelling were architects and designers, all with a passion for the magazine, and of course the free champagne. One of which, a Sir Richard Rogers, who was awarded the very 1st blueprint award for his innovative involvement to the architectural scene. 

Once the speeches were done we were treated to 360 degree views around central London, over looking iconic buildings like the shard, St Paul's and an illuminated London Eye. I wouldn't want to live here but I would very much spend a weekend here!!

Margate

The best part of Margate shown in a single picture.

Although in all honesty it is a lovely beach and surrounding area, just don't venture too far into the town.

I love the way this picture really captures the colour of the sand against that wonderfully blue beach hut and deep blue sky. The Donkey in the background just says I'm standing on a British beach.

Surfing

Fistral beach June 2013

Who knows why I didn't give this a go but I'm pretty sure it was absolutely freezing out. Although I'm reliably informed, those swim suits isolate you from all the elements.

This image captures just that. The unsettled sky daring the divers to be brave, those dark shadows haunting the image in every light avoiding gap. And that frightening deep blue of the sea sending shivers through the surfers waiting their turn.

Hever Castle

Light has helped create something quite dramatic. Taking all of the colour out of the ground and highlighting the white in the clouds. Leaving the weathered fortress exposed to all the elements.

Such an impressive place to see, so well maintained and looked after.

I must be getting old....

Festival Sun

Hard Rock Calling 2008

Picture taken with a Nikon Coolpix

Man this picture makes me reminisce. That bright shinning light attacked my eyes all day long. I couldn't wait for it to go, slowly disappearing into darkness.

Bugatti Veyron

What a car, but is it the best in the world? It's slowly being over taken by leferrari and the new Maclaren. Is it time for a new Veyron?? I think so.

This is the only one I have ever seen in the flesh anti have to say its as awesome to see as it is to look at in pictures and tv

Lucky bastards, who ever you are driving them around!!
