Blues for the weather.

British gloom. Makes me reflect. And scares people behind windows.

Seen again!

The thing about much seen places, especially small cities like Cambridge is that it's a challenge to see them anew. Almost every pub & restaurant has local scenes framed on it's walls.
However, reflections on the Cam on bright fall afternoons are hard to ignore!

Brass and strings. Cambridge, UK.

A friend of mine at Cambridge asked me to cover part of the Szeged festival, I couldn't pass it up. I mean, who says 'no' to a wide angle zoom perched on the edge of the stage? (Note to myself: must buy wide angle prime. British churches are dark enough with lighting. Zooms don't help much when the lighting doesn't turn on).
Anywho. I'm a sucker for people with musical instruments. You couldn't get me to theater if you paid me (unless I was allowed in with a camera. Even one I have to muzzle with a thick scarf).
(Another note to myself: maybe British theater is better than the over-simplified, Hollywood-esque musical crap I had to suffer in the Southern USA).

Staring at windows.

The great thing about being in a crowded, busy and public city like Cambridge (I'm talking downtown here) is that you're unlikely to get arrested for staring long and hard at windows. Of course, it helps to be a woman. Other than the fact that I may have made the facilities manager at one of the colleges very nervous, I live to tell the tale.
    Windows. They make great reflections of the outside world that we tend to ignore. Unlike water, they're vertical. Go stare.
