On the steps of the Museo Nacional del Prado
I remember visiting the Museo Nacional del Prado in Madrid and I loved it. I visited Madrid in 2003 to stay with a good friend for a week. Back then, we only had rubbish 1mp cameras on our phones, if they had cameras at all. I had my Sony F717 with me and with a…
All the boats at Navy Pier
Numerous boats are tied up at Navy Pier in Chicago, as well as a small U.S. Coast Guard boat. This was away back in 2003. I have no idea what the place looks like now!

The Ferris Wheel through the Crystall Ball
As seen in a previous photo of the Ferris Wheel on the Grand Parade in Cork, the crystall ball that Henry brought along was a very useful prop. Here we are at the top of the car park looking down on the big wheel. It surrounds the crystal ball, but the wheel itself can be…
