London Eye Night



I planed to go to the London eye from Kuwait, second day after I arrived at London, I've set my gear (my bag, camera and my tripod) and went out at around 1 PM so spend some time at the parliament and the Big Ben, took a lot of photos the which I'll post later on my flickr, then when to the London eye, got my ticket, thankfully not to many people were there, the lines were not longer than 5 min wait or less, any way they took my tripod before interring the capsule, they said what they always say "You are not allowed to use a tripod" so I left it with them and enjoyed my 30 min "Flight" (thats what they call the ride) up 135 meter, when I came down it was around 3 PM, so I went for a coffee break after this long walk, and reviewed my photos, I was already full on my 2 GB memory card so I had to delete the ones I don't like, later it was dark and I was ready to use my tripod, and guess what? another guy came to me and said the same "You can't use your tripod on privet property, you have to get permeation" so I went to get that permeation they told me I had to email the responsible person, and I left really upset, I carried my tripod for 4 hours for nothing!

I was ready to leave, went over the west minister bridge, an thats when I saw a chines guy standing with his tripod taking photos, I thought some one will come to him now, the police came by him and no one said a thing! I rushed to my tripod and took so many photos, but it was not that easy, another tripod enemy was there, the strong wind, I could not hold my camera steady, any way I did my best hiding behind things and holding my camera and tripod and came out with some good shots, hope you like them, make sure you visit my flickr to check them out.

peace to the tripod.

Eat With Style



The chances are that there are thousand of restaurant in a place near you, they all serve breakfast, they all have eegs, salads and bread, they all will almost have the same taste, so the question is how do you choose which one?

Most often its the small thing, you could love the coffee that this restaurant have, or a blueberry muffin that you can feel its taste in your mouth right now (oh! I better get some food very soon) but with all these small things I always look for style first, a good restaurant environment, great decoration, the presentation of the food, the way they right the names of the food and display it, all these thing and lots of small things makes a different for me.

always eat with style :)

The photo above was taken by me, this is my favorite restaurant for breakfast.
