St Antony had it tough
This is just a snippet - bottom right-hand corner - of a painting I saw in Cologne
Snowcat
We don’t get snow here in the UK often enough for my cat to be as nonchalent with it as she is with most other things. The recent snowfall in the UK was pretty heavy - for us, anyway - and she mostly stayed in, grumpily, for the best part of three days. When she did venture out through the catflap she was not best pleased with the stuff.
Waiting for Coates: anti-social software
Dear Old Skool Account-Holding Flickr Member,
On March 15th we’ll be discontinuing the old email-based Flickr sign in system. From that point on, everyone will have to use a Yahoo! ID to sign in to Flickr.
email received from Yahoo today
Flickr is taking a beating in two key forums right now over their decision today to force “old skool” flickr users to merge with Yahoo accounts and new limits on both number of contacts and tags allowed on Flickr. Check out some of the quotes here
Walters Photo Video are excellent
The highest praise for Walters Photo Video. Helen bought a Nikon camera ’system’ bag from them via their website. Order placed late Thursday night, goods received Saturday morning. All that and very good value too.
Nikon D80 delivered

The colours are quite good on her shot of Bridgenorth…
Dixons - not at all bad
The UK retailer Dixons/Currys has a rather mixed reputation. Some say the sales staff aren’t as well-trained as they might be, or that they push extra warrantees for the commission, and there are stories of poor after-sales service all over the web.
But, but, but. I’ve just bought a Nikon D80 from their website with no trouble at all. It was very competitively priced and delivered on time. So, tentatively, thumbs up for Dixons. I’d buy from them again.
Photography Sunday
Helen’s keen on rust, dirt, decay, broken windows - you know the sort of thing:
