Flash has gone, my flickr slide shows will no longer work anywhere rather than only work on the desktop. I will transition to an alternative technology using a word press plugin. Bear with me as this happens, it’ll take a while. See also Flickr Slide Shows on my wiki, if you want more. …

Although some of these pictures were taken earlier in the year. …
Good Eating
I fulfilled an ambition, I ate in the Fernsehtürm Restaurant, creamy coriander & carrot soup, Berlin meatball and potato salad finished with apple tart and cream accompanied by a rather pleasant German pinot noir. The weather and view wasn’t so good, but it’s very high in a low city Here are my pictures as a slide show

Back from Berlin
I returned from Berlin last night; it was a long journey home, with most delay caused by UK transport system which had served me well on they way out. I’ll say more later.
I visited the Berlinische Gallerie, the modern art gallery, they had a couple of exhibitions and some standing exhibits, including Julian Charière’s “As we used to float”, and Freedom by the November Group. I also went for a walk in the Tiergarten and ended up at a Vegan demo; they had closed the Brandenburger Tor, and half the Strasse des 17 Juni to accommodate the farmers tractors. I also ate well, or badly depending upon your view point.
I took some photos, they are here and on flickr.

To pay or not to pay (for flickr)
Due to Flickr’s impending choice to reduce free collections to 1000 or pay, I have tried to mark i.e. tag those posts which have flickr slide shows with the tags flickr and slideshow. Don’t think its perfect; I might have to write some SQL. …
Gardenscapes
No not the game! Once again I am considering garden landscaping! I went down to Brockley Station and Charlottenberg Park to see what they’ve done there and had a look at my Bury Court collection of pictures. I have posted the collections from flickr as slide shows,either below or overleaf …
DE HQ Reunion Barge Trip
The Reunion barge trip is over, we travelled on the Stourport Ring, to and from Tardebigge, via Worcester, Stourport, Wolverhampton and Birmingham. I made a video recently!
I have started to upload and convert the images and videos. I used a Nokia phone, and a Sony camera and Handycam so there’ll be some mucking about to make a video/slide show for youtube, laptops and the ipodtouch. The rest of the pictures are on flickr in a set called Barge Trip 2011. …
Memento Park, Budapest
A sculpture park full of the public statues from Budapest during the Communist era. The Hungarians, after the fall of the communist state in 1989 had a long and protracted debate about what to with that state’s public art. I think its important that they’ve chosen to preserve it, and also to do so in the context of this museum. If you visit this park yourself, buy the guide book, “In the shadow of Stalin’s boots”. As it says in the guide book, the Memento Park is not about Communism, but the fall of Communism. …
Valencia
So back from Spain after a wonderful break. We travelled to Valencia via Heathrow and Barcelona. …
