Nice. The focus on #3 is superb.

I was at the Corn Exchange last night to see The Prodigy - they rocked the house well. The kids put their hands in the air, and waved them like they just didn't care :

the rest of the photos are here

Have to correct your musical terminology there. The Prodigy used to be a rave outfit before they went all guitary, which was when I liked them. If anything I am a cynical ex-raver. But when Liam and pals come to town we still make the pilgrimage, because even though they have re-written some of the scripture, they still help us worship the god of techno.

I much prefer a rave band that goes rocky than the other way round - U2 suck.

Also, to "rock the house" can apply to various genres, with the added nuance of "house" being a double reference to house music and the venue which was rocked.

To "rock" can be a compliment, so one can rock the house without necessarily being a rocker. Clearer?

"In my day" we only had mods or rockers

Very atmospheric pics, Dada.

Saw some of a set from one of their recent festival appearances, can't remember which one now.
Still as scary and in your face as ever they were.

Bob would be fascinated to know what Keith Flint (Gail Porter's ex) said, but if I edited it for a family forum it would be a blank set of quotation marks.

We visited the Fondation Maeght, the Renoir Museum, and lots of other galleries while on holiday but some of the best stuff was just sprayed on the walls:

Check out the gentleman on the left getting sprayed with sand, and getting two spoonsful of sand in his cuppa. He then began to gesticulate at the hover bovver boys, who just floated off.

Well, to think that pony rides and trips on the " skylark" was about all that went on on the beach many years ago( not telling!!)

Now it's " skylarking" on the beach!!!

Seems to be lots of great and interesting things to see and do now!

deserted was very nice, wangi.

sunset tonight was special - I was torn between what the light was doing to the red plants and berries in the back garden and this ...

Post by **wangi** » 18 Aug 2005, 21:04

Nice! Just back from taking shots of the sunset myself.

I may have missed this previously but what work were you doing in Kenya Rathbone?
Great pics btw, such happy looking wee kids

Officially: fact finding inspections for charities to make sure that the money and other donations that have been sent for various projects (such as the work with the kids) are actually being used for those projects and not disappearing into the pockets of politicians and other ne'er do wells. Actually: helping to establish class rooms, set up basketball courts and getting football teams together to get the kids off the streets and building night shelters to give them somewhere to stay.

They might look happy little kids, but they literally have nothing.

Just updated my wallpapers of Portobello Beach:

Very nice. We're blessed with some lovely sunsets - and they are so fleeting - I love the different shades.

Dakota, are you 100% digital or do you still chemical?

Dakota · Post by **Dakota** » 28 Aug 2005, 10:18

I bought a digital compact about 6 months ago, and most of my photos are taken using that (Fujifilm E550).

But there's nothing to beat an SLR, so I still use my 35mm Canon EOS for critical shots. I'm saving for the 350D though...

Our friend sent me some pictures of the tornado's we had a couple of weeks in Orangeville (well actually.... Orangeville all the way down to Toronto, it was like, 'The day after tomorrow!!'), Catz was kind of worried, if our house would still be standing!

All taken on Fri 19th Aug 2005

Oops

I went in to edit my post as there was a word or two missing and "the system" went and reposted it. Sorry, sweet wee Foxy!!

Mrs Catz, that's some proper weather! Great stuff.
