Time waits for no man

Saturday, October 15th, 2011

I’m still looking through and editing the Kenya photos and it’s taking quite some time! So while I continue here’s a long necked friend to keep you going. I took this during a walking tour of Crescent Island, north west of Nairobi – one of the best opportunties to get up close to the wild animals of Kenya.

What a journey!

Monday, September 26th, 2011

I’m back from three weeks in Kenya and I still don’t quite believe I was there. Each and every day was an adventure from a late night visit to our Safari camp by a herd of Elephants to playing statues with local school kids, Kenya is everything I ever dreamed of and more. You’ll have to forgive me though as I need to sort through over 3000 photos before posting them here. In the mean time I’ll leave you with the eldest of the lion cubs we tracked in the Masai Mara as he patiently waits for supper.

My wife is a Goddess

Saturday, June 4th, 2011

Selina Wagner has transcended to Goddess with this tune, which took her two attempts to play having only ever heard me ‘sing’ it. I love her more than Transformers

 

Post Office Railway – London

Thursday, May 12th, 2011

SilentUK have posted a collection of images showing the adandoned Post Office Railway below the streets of Euston in London.

For as long as I can remember explorers have joked, discussed and cried themselves to sleep over possibility the Post Office Railway could be explored. Those keen to attempt entry desperately clawed at every scrap of information like a starving hobo snacking on bread crumbs. Just the idea of access, let alone the task of traversing the line seemed fraught with impossible obstacles and doubt.

I love images like this, in fact I was in London right above these tunnels less than a week ago. You would have no idea these were burried below you’re very feet. Make’s my imagination run wild!

Grand Zombie Designs

If you’re a right minded geek, you’ll have your zombie plan already sketched out in your mind – where to go (none of your business), who you can trust (no one) and your weapon of choice (axe).

But no matter how much you think your safe house is the best place to hold up, you should contact KWK Promes and get yourself one of these, “The Safe House

“The Safe House,” designed by KWK Promes

Doesn’t look all that effective at keeping a zombie horde at bay what with all those lights and windows but look at it’s party trick…

“The Safe House,” shut down

That’s right, hit the panic button and the building trasforms itself into an impenetrable concrete bunker! Here’s the sales pitch.

“The most essential item for our clients was acquiring the feeling of maximum security,” begins the designers’ website in the summary of the structure. The house, with its movable walls, has only one entrance, which is located on the second floor after crossing a drawbridge.

My only piece of advice if this is for you, don’t forget to stock up on food before you hit the button.
