switzerland

while working in basel for a week i was lucky enough to get some free time to see the sights of the old town and even squeezed in a trip to the zoo.
nice place, lots of fountains and no cookoo clocks; but i had forgotten how much zoos depressed me. i understand the conservation and educational effects of them and i'm sure the animals are all well looked after and "happy" but i just couldn't help feeling sorry for some of them.

i was also annoyed that my camera battery died before i got to the lions and monkeys.

anyway. in the style of tony hart. lets take a look in the gallery

the country where i quite want to be......

i finally got some of the pics from finland posted. i took so bloody many i couldn't be bothered to sift through them before now.

here they are.

spain

after a longish weekend of doing as little as possible except enjoying the sun and enjoying the sun while staying with some friends who live in almunécar (malaga-ish in spain) these are the poncey photos i wave virtually in your face
