Bucharest Exhibition

It's running at the Carturesti gallery for the next couple of weeks. Everyone's work looked great. Here's a few photos of mine:

Lighthouse of Green Gables

I've always rather wanted to live in a lighthouse. I'm on the peaceful bliss that is Prince Edward Island and found this one in the dunes near Green Gables today:


On the subject of Anne of Green Gables I remember playing this myself when I was 8, but that was in a dinghy in Somerset, but at the time it seemed suitably Romantic...

The ghost of the '67 Montreal World Fair/Biospheres rule...

There was also a disused themepark (another pet interest):



Habitat 67 is possibly the most amazing utopian housing project I've ever seen, and looking out to it from the old port you could also see the most extraordinary old industrial building ...





Ahhh the joys of geek pilgrimages....
