Art

This is so called art that i've never learned to appreciate. I took this in the Louvre, Paris. Who made this and why? I could probably find the answer in google, but i don't really know how to appreciate the beauty of it. I mean, yeah, looks like a woman with wings, without a head. So, an angel without a head. Or maybe, its an incomplete sculpture. Yeah, maybe.. or maybe she commited some crime in the past century. and i dont know, someone decided to carve her, without a head. Hmm...

Speed cameras

Traffic cameras. Speed cameras. What are they called? I took this picture at Borough. Close to London Bridge. Weird. I didn't see so many speed cameras in Central London. I guess that's the point. People can't speed in Leicester Square or Oxford Circus. The buses, and the crowd makes it impossible. But people can speed outside Zone 1. This is just my theory. I could be wrong..

Few people take the time to appreciate sunrise and sunset. I'm a sunset person, since by the time i wake up i always am too late. In london during winter, its worse. By the time i wake up at 3 something, the sun has already set. i missed both sunrise and sunset.
There's something so peaceful about watching sunset at the beach. Lie down on the sand, feel the waves washing over your body, feel the breeze, touch the sand, taste the salty sea water. or other's urine. time to wake up to reality...

Fireworks

Guy Fawkes night is just around the corner --> 5th November. I took these photos on Chinese New Year 2006.

Now, this is vast, filling my camera screen..


This one looks like a flower to me. I think we took this shot too early, before it fully exploded.


This image above is a nice one i like. Green and purple.

Pure genius

Having finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows for the 4th, 5th (i dont remember) times again, I am still awed by JK Rowling. I'm amazed by her. How can she come up with all these things from Book 1 - Book 7. It's fiction, and yet its pure genius. On the morning of delivery of the 7th book, i was waiting on the doorstep for the postman. I bought the 6th book after i finished work at night at a local bookstore. I got the 5th book within the hour it hit the bookshelves. I bought book 1 - 4 together and have been hooked since. I cant say the same for the movies though. The latest movie, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is so disappointing. The whole movie seems to be on fast forward, and the fight scene looks like a joke. Disappointing. I wish they make more effort to follow the book. I know most readers feel the same way. Never watch a movie after you've read the book. You'll almost always be disappointed.
