If I was the sort of chap who relayed tiles in the bathroom...

Love to know where the photographers are finding the sunshine. It's been sheet metal here for 10 days.

Good article here too (if you discount the mild mysticism). I like Bill Bryson but he seems to have had the grumps about Avebury. The only thing I paid for last time I was there was a cup of coffee and a bun (admittedly as an NT member I got parking free):

A few beautiful houses on Carroll Ave. in Angelino Heights, Los Angeles.

This striking red house was used as the exterior location for the TV show "Charmed".  The series was supposed to take place in San Francisco, but the show was filmed primarily in Los Angeles.

Fascinating pictures, Shawn. The expression American Gothic immediately comes to mind. Though that last one has a hint of Jugendstil Vienna about it. 

You did well with that first shot - whenever I try anything like that I tend to get the lower left in darkness and the upper right bleached out.

Weather here has been slate grey for 10 days but yesterday we got some sunshine to enjoy the autumn colour. I live on the edge of what was once Sherwood Forest - mostly farmland and Scandinavian conifer plantation now but there's a nice area a few miles from me which has native trees preserved and acts as a tourist centre. It was showing off its colours yesterday:

Came across two robins in different spots who sat quite happily next to me within arms' length. This one didn't seem at all disturbed by me fumbling to change lenses:

Stormier weather has now swept in. Don't imagine those leaves are going to last long. Will be interesting to go back in a couple of weeks.
