Beijing August 2007
OK - back to work. This time in Beijing (really am in no position to complain) - alongside a week of work did manage to fit in trips to The Great Wall, The Summer Palace, Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City.

Greenland August 2007
This one really was just a holiday. Spent a week in East Greenland - staying in Kulusuk and Tasiilaq. Fantastic weather, empty mountains - and lots of icebergs.
An initial selection of photos is linked below...
And a few pictures of the ever present sledge dogs - particularly the free-roaming puppies.

Redmond July 2007
A quick trip to Redmond for a workshop hosted by Microsoft. Flew to Seattle via Copenhagen (which extended the travel time, but provided a few interesting photos from the window seats).

Shetland June 2007
Back on Shetland again. Spent a week on Fair Isle - staying at the Bird Observatory - and taking photographs in the mist. Then a week with Shetland Wildlife on the 'Ultimate Shetland' tour seeing all parts of Shetland from Sumburgh Head in the south to the Muckle Flugga lighthouse off the northern end of Unst.
A few of the many hundred bird pictures are linked below.
And some more puffin pictures - including a few attempts to get puffins in flight

Wales May 2007
Builth Wells - rather cooler than Delhi. Didn't expect to see quite so many llamas in mid-Wales. I'n not sure why Picasa is demanding you log in to see my photos at this point - if you don't want/haven't got a gmail account, you should just be able to go straight to my Picasa home page

Delhi May 2007
A short work trip to a very hot Delhi (c. 43C) - with a few hours grabbed for being a tourist. Need to make sure the next trip is both longer - and at a cooler time of year.

Canada April 2007
Mainly a work trip (to a fantastic location!) - with a little bit of vacation time added in. Spent time in a harbourside hotel in Vancouver, then drove east (via Banff National Park) to Edmonton and Athabasca, and after a few more days work back west to Vancouver (via Jasper National Park).

Perth, Western Australia February 2007
A short work trip to Perth - just enough tourist time to wander around Perth and have a quick look at the sea at North Cottesloe and Freemantle.
Shetland January 2007
Spent a windy week on Shetland - partly with Shetland Wildlife (including a fantastic day at Up Helly Aa), partly doing our own thing.
Rockies September 2006
A 4000 mile loop from Denver, visiting Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, South Dakota and Nebraska.
Hebrides June 2006
A trip I've wanted to do for a long time - crossing from Oban to Barra, then travelling north up the Outer Hebrides to Lewis, and then back over to Ullapool.
