Punchdrunk in Wapping

By stark (Thu Dec 14, 2006 at 11:51:42 AM EST) theatre, review, london, faust (all tags)

A few nights ago, I was in a small room in a dark, crumbling warehouse in the old streets of Wapping, wearing a rather creepy white mask, and avoiding the pentagon etched onto the floor.

Photo Friday: I dunno, some spiky plant

By stark (Fri Nov 24, 2006 at 03:42:42 AM EST) photos, photo of the day (all tags)

Attention HuSi horticulturalists! Ten bonus points for the correct identification of this plant.

Quite a lot of bonus points for identifying the location where I took this photo, yesterday's photo and Wednesday's photo. Hint: they're all the same place, just outside London.

Photo Thursday: Tree

Nothing terribly exciting, but I quite liked the shadows.

Some nice autumnal (or fall, for those of a transatlantic countenance) colour.

Rather belatedly, a shot of some fireworks taken on the 4th November in Battersea Park.

Photo Monday: Stag

By stark (Mon Oct 16, 2006 at 09:09:42 AM EST) photos, photo of the day (all tags)

Saturday: I cycled over to Richmond Park in the late afternoon with my camera to try and get some shots of the stags, who get terribly excited at this time of year.

Sadly I didn't manage to see any fighting, but did see some excellent bellowing, and managed to get a few shots that I was happy with.

P.S. Don't forget the Photo FC! I'm sure you are thinking about what vaguely watery photos you can take before the end of the month.

Some cathedral somewhere. I forget where. Nice bit of stonework, though...
