Another day, another skyline!

Here’s another image for the collection, this time from Toronto.

The season is just turning to Autumn, so this pre-dawn shot saw me kicking up frosty clouds as I tramped to my viewpoint.

New York, New York

The iconic Manhattan skyline, seen from across the Huson river.

I took this last week as part of a 10 day shoot in the Big Apple.

Doha – Qatar

I seem to have been carried away by London recently!

To redress the balance, here’s an image from a shoot earlier in the year in Doha, Qatar.

The boat in the foreground takes you on a gentle tour around the bay, to view the skyline of this, in places, very rich and futuristic city.

London 2012 Olympics

We can finally count the time until the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games in days, not years.

The Royal Park in Greenwich will be the site of the Equestrian Events of the London 2012 Olympics.

This was the scene earlier this month for the London Olympic 2012 Equestrian and Modern Pentathlon Test Event, with the National Maritime Museum and Canary Wharf beyond.

It at least gives you an idea of how things will look in 365 days time!

Summer Solstice

Some twenty thousand people gathered at Stonehenge in Wiltshire, UK, to witness the sunrise on the longest day of 2010.

It was a wonderful atmosphere. From sunset to sunrise, there were Druids, Morris Dancers, hippies, party animals, tourists, travellers and quite a lot of security and police!

It’s the one time in the year that visitors can move amongst the stones of this 5000 year old monument, so everyone was eager to celebrate the opportunity in their own way.

For me it was a cappuccino, after watching the sun come up between the stones!

Sunrise on the Thames

It was a cold morning, but the light on St. Paul’s Cathedral and the Millennium Bridge was beautiful.

California Dreaming 2 – Los Angeles

Alan Copson — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 11:09:32 +0000

Los Angeles, LA, The City of Angels, Lalaland… so good they named it… lots of times!

The glitziest and scariest place I’ve been in a while!

On to Colorado

Having dipped my toe in the water of New England, I now find myself in well and truly in the “West”.

Colorado has everything, from the exciting city of Denver…

… to the clear air of the Rocky Mountains.
