One thousand pieces… Eighty seconds… Tower Bridge pieces itself into view before your very eyes. Of course, this reveals the method I used to make the puzzle but really - who makes the sky first?!? »
New gallery: The capital city of the Czech Republic, Prague, is great if you can get a little bit away from the main squares, bars, clubs and related stag and hen parties.

If you go, get out there and have a walk around - the Gothic architecture is great by day or by night … »
Last weekend I had the pleasure of a day picking up landscape photographic tips from the esteemed photographers Paul Hill and Karen Frenkel. There were quite a lot of us; I don’t know how they managed it but the advice they gave was great. As you’d expect, I’ve put up a mini gallery from the day.
